75 The Copenhagen Ducks win here really came out of nowhere as they had finished in 20th and 19th place in the past two events. Hulk’s second place finish keeps them at the top of the SPL1 rankings list. SPL2 Bitburg winners Outlaw Lille picked up where they left off here in Basildon with three straight preliminary round wins. Fighter Pro-Shar Perm and Redball Paris also had three first round wins, and all three of these teams looked great on the way to the 16 round. And their stellar play continued as all three easily won the 16 matchups. Redball Paris and Fighter Pro-Shar Perm again took care of business in the quarterfinals but Outlaw Lille wasn’t so lucky as they were beaten by Hellys Montpellier 4-2. But Fighter ProShar Perm and Redball Paris would advance through the semifinals and meet in the finals. After a 5th and 10th place finish in the first two Millennium events Redball Paris extended their great play all the way to the end, beating Fighter Pro-Shar Perm 4-2 to take first place. Hellys Montpellier won a touch match against Breakout Spa 2 to take third. Bitburg winners Indecence Les Fourgs come into this event as the team to beat in OD1. The rankings leaders in the division won their first two preliminary round games but then lost their third to GI London Defiance 2-3. In the 16 round Indecence Les Fourgs bounced back nicely with a 4-0 win over Paintschool Veckring and in the quarterfinals they beat a very god team in Montreal Image 4-1. In the OD1 semifinals Low Life Uddevalla knocked off Lithuania’s Diaspora Vilnius 3-1, while Indecence Les Fourgs kept the ball rolling with another win against Section Paradise Annecy 4-2. In the finals Indecence Les Fourgs would be one game away from back-to-back Millennium Series wins but they would need to beat Low Life Uddevalla to do so. And beat them they did with an impressive 4-2 win. WWW.PAINTBALLX3.COM
