Every time Dynasty steps onto the field, they are the story. No matter what the outcome of the tournament, Dynasty will be in the headlines. Millenium Event in Toulouse? "Dynasty beats XSV, extends dominance to New Year!!" Huntington Beach? "Dynasty wins first NPPL event of the year!!" What about Tampa and Denver this year? Most of the coverage wasn't "Infamous wins!!" it was "Dynasty LOSES!!!" After the last Millenium event (the Iberian Cup) the question on everyone's lips is "What's wrong with Dynasty?"...




The answer is...well, no one can say for sure. But honestly, it may not matter. The point of all this rambling is that Dynasty deserves some love just for reaching this point; just for being THE team in pro paintball, for being such a force that even losing can't stop them from grabbing the headlines.

I'll be the first to admit that this website (flagpull.com) has never been exactly complimentary of the kids from Dynasty. Well, since the inmates have taken over the asylum here recently, I think its time for a change.

Dynasty's success over the past few years can only bring about good things for the industry. The success or failure of a sports league depends on the ability to draw interest from outside the core group of diehard fans that have been watching from the beginning. Something has to be there to grab their attention, either a superstar playing "a different game" than the rest of his peers, or a team that dominates the game, being so good for so long that all anybody wants is to see them beaten. I know that Dynasty hasn't been on top of the world for an extended period of time, but their success in 2003 put them at the top of people's "Most Wanted" list. This is what people want to see...everyone gunning for a *ahem* dynasty...stepping up their games and doing everything necessary to defeat the champs. That's what we've seen this year. Infamous has become everyone's favorite team, just for beating Dynasty. I'm not saying that I love Dynasty or that they're my favorite team. All I want to get across is that I respect them. I admire their willingness to expand and evolve and try new formats, not knowing if they'll succeed. That is the mark of a true champion...

The only bad press is no press

dynasty represents paintball like no other.

I was rooting for Infamous too, gotta admit that. But Dynasty took their game to another level first, everybody else had to step up theirs to even compete.
