Str8 Rippin and the recently formed Carbon were both looking more and more like contenders with each event, and Carbon finally broke the wall with a team change, and defeated Final Boss in the finals at MLG Orlando 2006. They won the first four events of the year, putting them at a streak of eight straight event wins, but competition was forming. In 2006, Team 3D changed its name to Final Boss, and started the year off with the dominance that had become expected from them. At the World Cyber Games Finals, Walshy and Saiyan were eliminated in the pool play round.įollowing their WCG sabbatical, Team 3D returned to MLG as dominant as ever, winning the final four events of 2005, including the 2005 MLG New York National Championships, making Walshy and the Ogres back to back MLG National Halo 2 Champions. At the World Cyber Games USA 2005 event, Walshy teamed with Saiyan as "The Alley", where they were defeated in the finals by the Ogre twins. Though 3D lost in the Halo 2 event in Philadelphia, they also participated in the Halo: CE tournament at the same event and won.Īfter Philadelphia, Team 3D took the next few MLG events off and participated in two World Cyber Games 2v2 events. Team 3D was finally defeated at MLG Philadelphia 2005, a controversial event due to the gametypes being exclusively Team Slayer, by Str8 Rippin, ending Walshy's historic streak. As Team 3D, they won another MLG event and a CPL event, giving Walshy a record 9 MLG events in a row, and 13 overall. StK then picked up a sponsorship from 3D, and changed its name accordingly to Team 3D. As StK, this roster won 5 Halo 2 events, four in MLG and one in AGP. The team then returned to the name of StK, short for Shoot to Kill. In the off season between 20, KillerN left Domination and was replaced by Saiyan. Walshy and Domination then returned to MLG for the New York National Championships, where they won the 4v4 to be crowned the first ever MLG National Champions, and Walshy won the 2v2 with Ogre1 to become the 2v2 National Champions. Regardless, Walshy left AGP 6 having won their last four FFA tournaments. He nearly repeated the feat at AGP 6, but he and Ogre2 finished top 4 in the 2v2. At AGP 5, Walshy swept the competitions, winning the 4v4 with Domination, the 2v2 with Ogre2, and the FFA competition. Domination would take the next three MLG events off to compete in AGP. The team lived up to its name, winning MLG Seattle. However, it would be a short-lived squad, as Walshy and KillerN would then leave Team FFA to join up with Ogre1 and Ogre2, forming Team Domination. Team FFA proved to be a success, defeating StK in the 4v4 events at both MLG Chicago and MLG Atlanta. Walshy and Gintron then left Psycho Soldiers to form Team FFA with KillerN and Zyos, a formidable squad of individually talented players, with the goal of taking down the Ogre twins and their dominant Shoot to Kill squad. The new squad attended AGP 4, where they finished top 4 with Walshy again winning the FFA. Walshy then formed a new Psycho Soldiers squad consisting of himself, Csquared, Killer (not to be confused with KillerN) and Gintron. Walshy and two members then took part in the MLG Dallas 3v3 tournament, where they placed top 8 once again. To kick off 2004, Walshy and Psycho Soldiers attended MLG Philadelphia, where they finished in the top 8. This time his team fared much better, finishing top 4, while Walshy won the FFA competition. He then attended AGP 3 as a member of Psycho Soldiers with Biggy, Corrosion and DragonSpear. The team finished only top 32, but Walshy turned heads with a top 8 placing in the FFA tournament. Walshy's Halo career began in early 2003, when he attended his first major Halo tournament, AGP 2, as a member of GV with Bighead, D-bo and Indoor Pool.
