[edit] The Ironmen

The Ironmen with Oliver Lang became the first team to ever sweep the tournaments in the same year.^{[citation needed]} Not long after, however, Lang would leave the Ironmen for San Diego Dynasty, which largely consisted of Lang's childhood friends.^{[citation needed]}

However at the beginning of 2006, Lang left his teammates for a reputed salary of USD$100,000, the highest salary of a dedicated professional paintballer to date.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Team Dynasty

Oliver Lang left Ironmen and rejoined his childhood friends Alex Fraige, Todd Martinez, Ryan Greenspan, Brian Cole, and Angel Fragoza to create Team Dynasty. From 2002 to 2005, Dynasty had an amazing run of 32 Pro events and 14 Pro Series Titles, an accomplishment likely never to be duplicated. However, in February of 2006, Oliver Lang would receive an offer that he could not turn down. When he went back to the Ironmen he received a sponsorship from Dye Precision. Ollie also endorses products for Dye in numerous magazine ads, commercials and has promoted Dye's clothing line campaign and marker ad campaign, "Designed For The Art Of Winning."
