One Legendary Team. One Unimaginable Streak. One Last Chance To Keep It Alive.
Overview
In 2001, a brash group of teenagers took professional paintball by storm, winning The World Cup of Paintball. San Diego Dynasty has created a dominance like no other in paintball, winning at least one professional tournament every year since. But all things must end, and a season filled with bad luck, controversial officiating, industry politics, health issues, and one of paintball’s biggest icons deciding to step away from U.S pro circuit to find himself living abroad puts Dynasty’s hope of a 15th consecutive season with a tournament victory in jeopardy.
