Dahmer · 04-07-2009, 03:31 AM

Deserved? Renting Ollie didn't hurt too much either.

they didnt rent him. he is playing with the pro team all season. and incase you didnt realize 7man is a team game. one person didnt win an event. Arsenal played amazing, every game every player was on point with everything.

jrab and ollie together plus the 7man skill of the DC players, deadly.

Of course the CFP karma doesn't hurt either.

you have a pretty skewed world perspective if your goal in life is to be successful at paintball.

thinking one person CAN'T make or break a game is idiotic. Dye pays the guy $100K a year to sell t-shirts, right? Compare the Ironmen before they got Ollie to after (both times.) Compare Dynasty before they got Ollie to after. Compare Arsenal before they got Ollie to after.

I'm not trying to start a huge fight, but you can't deny the fact that Oliver Lang takes struggling teams and turns them into winners. Just be happy that you're the latest recipient of this guy's gift.

And notice in my first post I never said that he did it alone, either. Get over yourself and try to think for 5 seconds before you get angry over something as stupid as the post of a total stranger on a message board.

Ollie is a member of the team for 7 man now, just like he plays for Ironmen in XBall. All this talk is nonsense about renting him out and what not, because he IS part of Arsenal now.

He's a great player but it takes a team effort. A great player certainly helps.

for a team to win an event like hb every player has to do their job. no matter what position they play they have to get their and get their job done. All the players from Arsenal were doin what they had to do and ollie is just another person who does what he has to do. Sure hes possibly one of the best players,can't take that away from him, but all of the other arsenal players made the difference too by doing the right thing at the right time.

and once again you fail.

dreizzle · 04-09-2009, 10:03 AM

If you look at the roster from last year to this year....there have been alot of changes....jrab, kali, pat and ollie made an apparent difference so...to single out ollie and say he is the reason why the team is great now is insulting to all of the guys that put work in to get where they are....hats off to the whole team....and before you come back with some smart remark...go out, build a team and win a pro event then come back and talk **** and i might be further inclined to listen to you...

So you only listen to the dozen or so people who have built a team to win a pro event? Because I don't speak from personal Pro Paintball Management experience I don't know what I'm talking about? Who couldn't manufacture a win with Arsenal's budget? Consider how much money this team has spent over the past 5 years and compare that to their win total.

And besides, you only further made my point. Aside from Pat, however, who actually did play with Arsenal last year...this isn't the team of Arsenal past. I'm glad they won an event, but it took contributions from "new players" like Justin, Kevin, and Oliver to get them there. If these guys are in it for the long haul, then I hope for Arsenal's continued success. I guess we'll see when the new league goes to their home turf on the next event.

bunyak · 04-09-2009, 04:29 PM

Justin and Kevin played right along side of Pat last year.

your dumb as hell. jrab and kali played for evolution last year... pat played for evolution last year. one player does not make a team. sure he helped but every player was playing amazing
