As well as competing on the European stage in the VPG Premier, The Bulls Team also plays on home turf in Poland. They are taking part in the summer tournament organised by VPL Poland. Teams such as GSK Esport, YNG SKiLLZ, Impact Boys and many other strong sides are competing in the tournament. The Bulls aren’t the only team in this league either, as alongside The Bulls Team we can also watch The Separatists and the aforementioned YNG SKiLLZ in action. In today’s article, we’ll focus solely on The Bulls, but don’t worry – you’ll be able to read about the others in our upcoming articles.
We’ve slowly got used to it…
We have to admit that we’ve got used to The Bulls’ strong starts in competitions, not just in Poland but across Europe too. The VPL Poland Summer League is yet another league where The Bulls have made a flying start. After eight matches played, they have one defeat, one draw and six wins. This record puts them in first place in the league. In second place is GSK Esport, who have played one match fewer, but even if they were to win, they would still be one point behind our partner.
A grand opening
The Bulls Team kicked off with a 5-0 win over the Illegal academy. In the second round, our other partner in this league, The Separatists, fell victim, conceding seven goals without scoring a single one. The first draw came as early as the third round, against Impact Boys. The match wasn’t exactly thrilling, as evidenced by the goalless scoreline.
Cristy on a roll
In the first match (against Illegal), he scored a hat-trick, whilst his teammate KOSTQ1773 finished the match with a brace. In the match against the Vultures, it was KOSTQ1773 who scored a hat-trick this time, with Cristy adding one goal. In the match against The Separatists, the goalkeeper didn’t have much to do, as he didn’t have a single chance to make a save. In the match against Impact Boys, which ended in a draw, our partner’s goalkeeper had more to do. He saved the Bulls from conceding a goal on three occasions.
- 5–0 vs. Illegal Academy (A.)
- 7-0 vs. The Separatists (A.)
- 0:0 vs. Impact Boys (D.)
A clash with a former partner
In the fourth round, they faced OM3N eSports away. The match ended in a 1-0 win for our partner, thanks to a goal from KOSTQ1773. Lorenco_hp rose to the occasion twice this time, keeping a clean sheet. In the next match, they faced our former partner, with whom we had collaborated under the name Superion.pl (2019–2021).
We are, of course, talking about MF Killers. KOSTQ1773 scored a brace in this match, with Filip Zebrowski adding the third goal. Just as in the match against The Separatists, a goalkeeper was not needed in this match. The Bulls’ next opponents were FC Shadow Stars, who were playing at home. However, this did not help; our partner won the match 2-0, with goals from IMXNIVZ and KOSTQ1773. The opposition goalkeeper made five successful saves.
- 1-0 vs. OM3N eSports (W.)
- 3:0 vs. MF Killers (A.)
- 2-0 vs. FC Shadow Stars (W.)
First defeat
Nothing lasts forever; everything comes to an end eventually. However, we are confident that The Bulls Team’s excellent form will continue in the near future, and the 0–1 defeat to the Ravens (likely Iron Ravens) was merely a blip. Although, to be honest, on the VPL website it looks more like a walkover than a blip.
Then came the top-of-the-table clash. GSK Esport hosted our partner at home. Our partner won the match thanks to a goal from Bartek Skonieczny. The Bulls’ goalkeeper made two saves, whilst the opposition’s goalkeeper didn’t make a single save, and one shot proved good enough to see him retrieve the ball from the net.
- 0:1 vs. Iron Ravens (A.)
- 1:0 vs. GSK Esport (A.)
Upcoming matches
Tomorrow at 8.40 pm, we’ll see our partner in action again. This time, they’ll face Casual Kickers at home. On the same day, as part of Matchday 10, they’ll take on another of our partners, YNG SKiLLZ, at 9.10 pm. This time, it’s an away fixture.
