Grandmaster Flash #1 – introduction
by Elroy Jetson
Ultimate is growing worldwide. One of the places where the pure passion has it’s roots is Poland. The love to sport kicks it forward. Our commitment pushed us to create the first real National team in April 2010. Take a look at the tryout process to get familiar with us:
And now take a step back to 2009 and look at the club scene.
In 2009 we had our first Nationals. The best Polish team on this tournament was Grandmaster Flash from Warsaw. This was a big step – earning a spot at Worlds as a first Polish team in history.
The team was created in 2006 by the students of Bednarska High School, and soon they became the fastest developing team on Polish Ultimate scene. From day one as total youngsters, they struggled thru the tournaments step by step, to win the first one in June 2009. Wise man says – the hardest thing is not to get on top, but to stay on top. And Grandmaster Flash stay undefeated till now, by any Polish team, on any Polish outdoor tournament. Thanks to that through the series of tournaments in 2009 they won Polish Cup.
GMF is known for their great Spirit and wicked beach tournament called Sandslash. Third edition of this event will be held in August 2010. They are also coordinating Warsaw League Ultimate and working on a junior program in their High School.
I’m preety objective cause I’m sort of a pickup for Grandmasters. Originally I’m one of the captains of Astro Disco team. I always remember we had some great intense games against GMF, while off the field we are very close. Check the full game video from the last matchup from May 2010:
