    FormaL speaking that Halo championship into existence makes him one of the coldest pros to ever touch a controller. Always been my favorite FPS pro to watch and it was incredible watching him turn back time to win in Halo after he retired from CoD. H4F baby lol

    FormaL's story is as close to a story from a writer's script as you're ever likely to see. I would have never imagined that he'd be standing on the Halo Champs stage as the winner after his "Read if you're H4F" twitlonger after Cold War. One of the greatest pros we've seen across every e-sport out there.

    It’s so crazy as I’m watching those reach clips you see names still in the halo scene obviously now. They’ve known eachother for YEARS at this point. Pistola, Lunchbox, aPG, etc. just insane to see a lot of them still in esports, competing or coaching. Also insane to probably play formal first in halo then see him dominate in cod then come back to halo and win a world championship against the people (pistola) and with someone (aPG) he’s played against like a decade ago. Insane to me.

    I love this documentary. Really filled in some gaps for me as I'm primarily a Halo watcher and just recently started getting into pro COD. Trying to go back and watch some of the series from earlier titles.
    I'd love to see something like this covering Shotzzy someday, hopefully after he creates a legacy in COD. The way he burst onto the Halo 5 scene with insane movement was something I'd never seen before, then he turned around and did the same thing in COD. Insane.

  • @AMPStorm
    @AMPStorm ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Great job including the Formal / Scump interaction at their first event. 👍
    You could have mentioned how all the Halo pros that grouped together in CoD failed but Formal, Enable and Crimsix found more success by branching out and surrounding themselves with actual CoD players.
    Formal was considered one of the best snipers in Halo also.
    Formal said that the Team Kalaber player Neslo was a fan of Formal because he played and watched multiple games so that's the only reason that Formal got a tryout and eventually picked up by the 2nd best team in the game at the time. Ironically Formal ended up replacing Neslo which is unfortunate.
    Also Formal has claimed that he has never left one team to join a team that he thought was better, only to get outplaced by them at the next event which is pretty remarkable given the amount of teams that he has left/joined.
    Halo player ACE uploaded a Halo 5 video where Formal is dominating on Halo 5 while competing in CoD.

    I will admit that Formal’s performance puts him up there.

Ogre 2 likely has more chips than any other eSports player and he did it when Halo was THE game. I love both
