I dont think he was going for a joke when he was saying this i think he was just trying to say it was easy and if they hadnt kicked him off the team they would've done better.
I remember watching this all those years back and thinking even at the time that I lost respect for the ogres. Walsh always seemed like a class act. It didn't seem like it was a "business decision" to him; it seemed like he actually cared about people and his teammates.
Andrew Fackenthall they aren't facts though.... was he best at CE and halo 2? Yes, but if you watched any pro league at all he was an amazing objective player in halo 3. It's not all about getting kills. Walshy had strats, and that's why he was valuable to teams. He also had a 50/50 chance with anyone who had a br in a 1v1. I mean it doesn't matter but you are certainly wrong. Go back and watch some halo 3 tournaments.
I grew up during those times. Halo 3 was the first game where I could go anywhere, and ask any guy "yo what's your halo 3 rank" and they'd have an answer for me. First game that felt like a cultural phenomenon to me. Granted... I took it *way* too seriously considering my lack of skill... but I still had so much fun and remember watching the montage videos and pro league matches with my room mates.
@@stephenbrooks2325he’s considered the goat because people overrate his tournament wins at the local GameStop every weekend where the same 8 people showed up😭💀
@@ijamzer5190 sounds like ur coping. pretty sure there were more than 8 people in 2006 and 2007 oh and 2010 there were only 8 people? oh and lets not forget the god squad. dude found himself on the best team 90% of the time for a reason. gtfoh
Social issues outside the game? And that affected them inside the game? If they were really professional, they would work through it and at least tell Walsh what was going on. Yeah if it kept happening then they can look over it again, but having issues outside the game and kicking him out because of that... come on.
Nah, it's just them. The Ogres are pretty arrogant douchebags, look at Ogre 2. He kicked Heinz off of CLG last season in HCS because "2nd place wasn't good enough" and they supposedly didn't feel like they could beat EG with Heinz on the team. Now look at them, at the last event they didn't even place top 4, and Heinz's new team Denial got 2nd. Guess the joke's on Ogre…
I just mean the Walshy incident, but I agree that they are douches and that obviously their ignorance at a younger age could't come up with any reason why Walshy should be kicked off the team. But as they got older they learned how to manipulate situations into what they wanted and it's only backfired on them and I say they deserve it.
Walshy and StrongSide need to play together again. Like, maybe Warriors could pick up Walshy as an alternate and give him time to get his game back together. They were great together.
I looked up to these guys when Halo 2 was being played in MLG. I actually played against them and since Halo 3 I fell off what happened but man these guys team name said it all! I really do hope they come back in Halo 4 As well as the BXR BXB ;)
The more things unfolded over the years seems like it was all OGRE 1 .. wanted to be with his girl in Australia (can’t blame him obviously) but he sacrificed his career in his prime to jump ship after a few bad finishes and move to Australia
Worst decision in the history of eSports. I remember watching this years ago and just being completely devastated. He was easily their best player, and removing him killed the team and lost them a lot of respect.
I watched more Halo 3 but I miss this kind of competitive halo. I enjoy Halo Infinite and HCS but its just not as personal to them which takes away from the experience as a fan.
@yourmomsacoolgal Yeah, Halo 2 brings back tons of good memories and nostalgia. Man, lot's of good times. Halo 2 at release had probably one of the greatest ranking systems known to competitive multiplayer, even to today's standards, where it took insane skill and time just to get to level 20, much less something like 30 or 40, which was common when they redid the ranks.
@Gothic238 Thats not at all what I am saying jesus lol. Why would Ogre 1 vote to kick off Walshy from WALSHYS team, when in 6 months he was going to leave anyway? That doesnt make any sense at all.
@VOZZIFY 1. That doesn't show Im on a high horse, just that I don't respect Ogre 1 anymore for how he ruined Final Boss' dynasty, 2. He's among the top, not the best ever. Walshy is the best player in the history of Halo.
Walshy needs to rejoin Final Boss and go kick some ass with Ogre2, strongside and bring back Ogre1, but if that doesnt work than just own with victory x, and win the next tournaments
It appears as though MLG is going with an "ESPN" approach. At least ESPN built themselves on the skills of the competitors before they went the soap opera route.
@ASwiftHippie Yea gotcha no I love talking about MLG its a huge passion of mine. Thats awesome though I didn't know that at all about him. You're from Iowa? haha Im from Minnesota! I actually play college basketball at Gustavus Adoplphus College
mighta been shady but i the ogres were honestly right to drop walshy. ogre 1 had been struggling as well in 2008 but ogre 1 woulda never been kicked off over walshy
It sounds like walshy nailed one of his teammate's girls. Respect.
For real?
As funny as this sounds I’m pretty sure the fallout was over a girl.
@@BsHaDy21Yea O1 going to live in Australia for a girl was a clear tell. He knew none of his teammates could bang her over the Pacific Ocean.

if you look at the placings walsh did way better after being dropped than FB
Me too man I know one of them personally and that one is a selfish douche.
walshy was a legend.
*Is

Andrew Rodriguez still is
I miss Halo 3, I miss this time period in my life, and I miss watching MLG events before Reach.

"The Ogres and Walshy are legends" - Strongside -
Strongside is a legend in his own right, Walshy is the GOAT aka Tom Brady
Yes! I played them alot
Then welshed new team won against them....that must've felt good for welshy
Yup Bcuz they didn't hav walshy, they fuqqed up lettin him go
2022 gang. Day after world's and weeks after Walshy's legendary smack-talking at Orlando 2022! Lmao, Legend.
Walshy is a legend!
Rumors say Walshy scored Ogre 2's gf lol
Prolly nowhere true but shit that's fucking funny
at the time the rumor was walshy was addicted to drugs
cant be addicted to drugs and be the GOAT of halo ..... unless it's addys
mikie jones probably addys
he wasn't taking enough addy lol
After this Final Boss was never the same.
ogre 2 won the 2010 season. there is a reason hes the goat

@@ijamzer5190 ok dude im sorry i responded to you at all. you are clearly unintelligible
Final Boss is the sickest team name of em all. Still can't believe walsh was dropped. Halo and mlg itself was not the same after this.
No game in history can compare to halo 2 multiplayer. Maybe good ol counter strike pc multiplayer.
Andrew Fackenthall stop
Halo 3 improved the formula
Dude ive been saying this for years - original halo 2 online was honestly some of the funnest times of my life.
Walshy will always be remember as a legend.
watching this makes me want to buy live time on x box and play halo once again
And then he kicked their asses with a new better team ;)
I remember playing with walshy in team deathmatch, great dude and very competitive. I couldn't get higher than 46 because of team standby kids
you mean team slayer? doubt you played with him
You were one of the good ones
I remember I was glued to this video when it came out. Absolute nostalgia
You can still play halo 3 MLG
MLG, making video games "personal" since 2002.
It's like taking candy from a baby.......
Best moment in MLG history lol
Man I remember the days watching the blurry 360p mlg streams.... nostalgia

Yeah if it kept happening then they can look over it again, but having issues outside the game and kicking him out because of that... come on.
They were also pretty young, I think it might be that their age made a big impact on how they evaluated the whole situation.
Yeah as Faceless said, their age probably made a big impact on it.

Yeah exactly… Ogre's good at kicking people off his team when things aren't going perfectly his way
anyone ever notice that he looks like peter weller (robocop)
yeah...he's a jew after all
uh....ok.
Who’s watching I’m 2020 i miss these days
2021 baby
@@Finestizpro ayeee
you smoke bro? yeah? your on the team bro
Great player.
thats why he beat final boss with his new team hahaha
0:50 THAT GOOD MELEE IN THE TV
We will never die
LOL I SEE THEM PLAYING SMASH BROS MELEE IN THE BACKGROUND. :D
walshy is an amazing player
I don't follow MLG that closely, but I remember one year Walshy basically carried his team of unknowns pretty far. Oh what could have been...
Walshy and StrongSide need to play together again. Like, maybe Warriors could pick up Walshy as an alternate and give him time to get his game back together. They were great together.
They kicked the legend... I remember that, how to forget that amazing act of intelligence.
I looked up to these guys when Halo 2 was being played in MLG. I actually played against them and since Halo 3 I fell off what happened but man these guys team name said it all! I really do hope they come back in Halo 4
As well as the BXR BXB ;)
Lol
This didn't age well lmao
Walshy's team instint beat Final Boss soon afterwards. Funny.
Walshy is MLG.
I sort of feel bad for him, he clearly loved playing for Final Boss
I cried a little the day I heard this news.
this shit was legendary drama ....
Man I rooted for Instinct after this. One of my favorite new comers in Soviet and the lesser known twins.(Roybox) Made a few events interesting.
Funny how none of the original final boss members are still on that team.
funny how they kick him out then he beats them in his new team
1:33 I can tell this is old from the guy wearing a Big Black t shirt in the background
I wish strongside would have stood up for him.
Walshy was too nerdy for 'em.
Says who?
Funny how he shit on Final Boss while in Instinct shortly after
This guys are the Shroud,Doc and Ninja of our times.Never forget our legends
No. The Ogres and Walshy were real pros not whack ass streamers.
shroud doc and ninja are nobodies in the gaming world LOL never won shit, ninja played halo and was rather average
Everyone you mentioned is worthless, shroud a cheater
So back in the golden days of mlg were the big players forced to wear red bull merchandise
StoneColdReznov they were individually sponsored by redbull. Not forced.
Still hurts after 10 years ;D
It's 13y now 2022🥲
Walshy made MLG popular!
Walshy invested in XRP FYI with his MLG winnings.......THINK ABOUT IT
That's pretty lit
I just watch this for the epic music. LMFAO
Walshy went on to destroy the ogres in the next tournament.
The more things unfolded over the years seems like it was all OGRE 1 .. wanted to be with his girl in Australia (can’t blame him obviously) but he sacrificed his career in his prime to jump ship after a few bad finishes and move to Australia
MLG ON THOSE SCREENS
I love how this is about a Halo team, and at 1:52, Mario is playing in the background.
smash bros lol
walshy = final boss
Worst decision in the history of eSports. I remember watching this years ago and just being completely devastated. He was easily their best player, and removing him killed the team and lost them a lot of respect.
Seems like final boss screwed themselves with this
Facts! I think Ogre 1 retired shortly after this.
@@torrance1175 3 tourneys after this
WALSHY FOR LIFE!!!
I MISS THESE DAYS. Anyone watching this just know I understand why you’re looking this up. We are still out here. I love halo 2.
I watched more Halo 3 but I miss this kind of competitive halo. I enjoy Halo Infinite and HCS but its just not as personal to them which takes away from the experience as a fan.
What is the old headset they used to use, they grey circle one?
I don't believe anybody is holding a gun to there head. They do not have to do anything they don't want to.
Where is the video where karma was doing this but he looked high af?
Why would they kick walshy off final boss??? Walshy is the reason final boss was ever a thing...
WALSHY WAS FINAL BOSS :( SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS GAME IM SO SAD
like taking candy from a baby
@xSnipeZKinGx Correction: Walshy didn't get kicked off Final Boss, Walshy kicked himself out.
Like the Bulls kicking off Scottie Pippen? How about like the Bulls kicking off Michael Jordan.
strongside is the coolest pro hands down
halo 3 was treated like a sport it used to be on a show on tv it was more than just a video game
Walshy is still king.
the scene never recovered. reunion, when? 😢
he makes the Final boss good! :v
all these guys look stoned as fuck lol
haha i was reading the comments then i see this and just bust out laughing lol that's my new catch phrase

can some one tell me the name of the music?
@TheFlyingBeav3r I would agree with you 100%. Roy and Enable are just downright tanks lol
This is so INTENSE.
Walshy needs to rejoin Final Boss and go kick some ass with Ogre2, strongside and bring back Ogre1, but if that doesnt work than just own with victory x, and win the next tournaments
lol yea but he then shoulda said "but i was ON final boss for the 4 of those years" haha
I really wonder if there is some bad blood still between the ogres and walshy
Not to mention, the photos I have on there are from when I was 152... haven't even updated the pics on my 160 size....
Damn dude, thats kindve sad foreal..
Probably the dumbest team decision in halo history
It appears as though MLG is going with an "ESPN" approach. At least ESPN built themselves on the skills of the competitors before they went the soap opera route.
Super Smash Bros. in the background!
u know it didn't make me quiet sad because these guys r still friends but walshy is kicked off the team
They gained up on him...Thats what happens when fake people tlka behind your back and not to your face.
@ASwiftHippie Yea gotcha no I love talking about MLG its a huge passion of mine. Thats awesome though I didn't know that at all about him. You're from Iowa? haha Im from Minnesota! I actually play college basketball at Gustavus Adoplphus College
Walshy
what?
i really dont think you need to worry about halo being dropped from mlg. especially with halo 4 coming out in november
@ish danish the vitamin D would help to improve his mood
There's a hidden TrueSkill that doesn't match people together based on skill level. So why its there i have no idea
I'm pretty sure that AGL is doing 3 over 4 next time.
Was for the Best MLG Dallas 2010 CHAMPIONSHIP : Final Boss
mighta been shady but i the ogres were honestly right to drop walshy. ogre 1 had been struggling as well in 2008 but ogre 1 woulda never been kicked off over walshy
