December 7, 2011 in Dynasty

In 2012, Zack Wake, a pro paintball all star, will play both snake and dorrito sides of the field for Dynasty. Wake is an offensive player and will compliment the teams aggressive style of game play. His addition to the team should help provide the boost they need to dominate the pro division in Europe and American events next season.

Pro Paintball caught up with Dynasty Coach Mike Hinman for a few words.

“Dynasty is proud to anounce the addition of Zack Wake to its roster for the 2012 season. Many of our guys have played with him in the past and we believe his transition to Dynasty will be as easy and painless as can be.”

Dynasty’s roster features the who’s who of professional paintball. The addition of Wake only makes the team that much stronger. He will be joining his former Aftermath teammates Alex Goldman, Steven Pitts in playing for the triple crown Championship in 2012.

San Diego Dynasty, sponsored by Empire Paintball and Guerrilla Air, is a fiercely competitive paintball team with a long history of winning. In the 2011 NPPL Surf City Open, Dynasty captured their 50th professional win in the match against rival team Sacramento XSV.

What do you think about Zack joining Dynasty? Does Dynasty have what it takes to win the Triple Crown Championship in 2012?

Todd Martinez, Coach of LA Infamous, broke the news this week that Zack Wake, snake player for Infamous, had left the team. According to sources there are a handful of teams looking to pick him up. Pro Paintball insiders named local Tennessee pro team CEP, as well as Tampa Bay Damage and Dynasty as possibilities for 2012.

Insiders say that Ryan Martin has left both Top Gun Union, whom he played PSP with, and Sacramento XSV, who he played NPPL with. Initially it was thought Ryan was leaving Top Gun to compete with Sacramento XSV in the PSP pro division. However, recent intel suggests he has left the XSV ranks as well. Leaving both teams frees Martin up to play either or both NPPL and PSP in 2012. Pro Paintball insiders point to Ironmen, Infamous, or Dynasty (all Southern California pro teams) as possibilities for 2012.

Where do you think these players will end up? Which teams could best utilize their talents?
