Hey man idk if you’ll ever see this but I grew up with Jessie (sinsane). I think you and these guys are awesome man and just wanna thank you for all the stories and amazing displays you guys out in for the beginning of esports
MLG 2005 Chicago got top 48 first event. At least you got to witness the dethroned moment. Got knocked out in ffa by TuLegit, Detach, and StK Xxx (who became Team Carbons Coach in 07)
SanJose408Alex have you started watching the past tournament live streams? They had a lot of all stars playing halo 3 hell THEY HAD WALSHY PLAYING BTB! halo 3 is starting to become an official tournament again until halo infinite multiplayer releases, should give it a watch it's amazing
My first tournament was MLG Seattle in 2004 and I had to play agianst them. We got destroyed, I remember playing them in several events and they were always respectful and nice.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the days when Halo was big. It just had such great potential for sick plays and shots. Some of my favorite montages are from Halo 3.
The original Final Boss roster is what got me into eSports when I was a kid back in 2006. That's where my love for competitive gaming began. Fast forward to today; I now follow Smash, CS:GO, StarCraft, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, CoD and the Halo eSport scene. Thank God for this amazing TH-cam channel. I can get my eSport fix all in one spot. Keep up the great work; love you guys.
Honestly, the Ogres were GODS among mere mortals. Loved 'em. I was so hype to get into a game of Splitgate with Ogre2 last week during the Beta, playing with a legend definitely a highlight of my gaming career, and made me remember all the awesome Halo moments over the years. I miss competitive Halo :(
I started at Penn State main campus in 2006. I remember meeting Team Carbon in 2007 there. I used to buy weed from a guy who lived in the Frat house they practiced out of. I was always a big gamer, and I went to meet him one time and he was hanging out in the team's "practice room" (just one of the larger bedrooms in the frat). I played a lot of Halo 2 at the time, so I immediately was like "oh, cool, you guys play." And I think it was Ghost that I talked to mostly but he instantly goes "Yea, we won the World Championships last year, hoping to repeat." I was like.... WTF. Other than the competitive CS scene which was dying down at that point due to CS Source, I hadn't had any exposure to an actual professional gaming scene. Cool guys.
Finally doing a video on the Ogre Twins, I didnt even need to skip the ad on the video to know this was about the Ogre Twins. Good to see some videos on the Halo scene.
A Chris Puckett video would be amazing. Even when he stopped casting he was playing a large role within the MLG organization. I think a video for him would be quite appropriate. On a side note, its crazy that he was the one that introduced the ogre twins to the game. Never knew that about the scene.
Go look up the pro player Ghandi's TH-cam channel. He used to do a psuedo-podcast of the history of competitive Halo. He actually brought Pistola's dad on to talk about the first tournaments he attended.
Most of us That are having Deep nostalgic memories right now Are around the same age or older. I'm 28. Most of you who are remembering Halo 1 and 2 being two of the best games ever made are Either 90s kids like me. Or 80s Kids and we're an adult when this came out. I was born in 1990 so Halo came out when I was 11 years old. Before that I think it was just N64 and PlayStation every day. Nintendo 64 was legendary but then Xbox came along and Jesus..... I salute all of you who had endless days and nights of Halo. Blood Gulch brings a tear to my eye....
Halo 2 was a glimpse of immortality. A religion of the Gods. 2005-2007 were mind-blowing. Check out Gandhi's channel (Scott Lussier) for his intense summaries on the competitive Halo 2 history: 2005 Halo 2 MLG history: th-cam.com/video/ORjH-LMMvGg/w-d-xo.html 2006 Halo 2 MLG history: th-cam.com/video/NooDIZ29Pys/w-d-xo.html 2007 Halo 2 MLG history: th-cam.com/video/sSNhlx5HmUw/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic video, loving your halo content! Really sents me back to the golden age of halo. I miss pre-twitch esports :( I think rather than talking about the dark age of halo, you could have mentioned that Ogre 2 competed in Shadowrun (360) events while dominating in halo 2.
Final Boss was my first time watching any kind of professional e-sport, the Ogretwins are pretty much my childhood right there, Now i follow both on twitch and are talking to them in chat on a regular basis. I found O1's stream by chance just a year ago and got totally starstruck as a fully grown man in his late 20's. Was so much nostalgia!
Fantastic and super nostalgic doc, well done! I played both MLG and AGP events back in the day, and won a Summer League at my local LAN center. Best memories for life!
This was like a lifetime ago. Lol I remember lans with the ogres walshy and strongside in halo 3. True legends people might have forgotten halos hype back in the mlg days but damn those were some of the best memories in my life.
I remember the love and nostalgia me and all my friends had for competitive halo 2. Matchmaking was ruthless and you were as good as your BR and always wanted the sniper. But playing ranked, everyone knew of the ogre twins. How simple, yet insanely complex that game was. I’ll never forget when the 360 came out and the controller was just not the same on h2 and being so upset about it. But there was nothing better than playing 4v4 brs on lockout with a set of guys you trusted.
Was fun playing with the Ogres, STK Clan, Team Classic Clan, Soldier187, K 2the Arma, Neighbor, Walka, Halo God, all the OG great players- Miss these days. Maybe Halo Infinite will bring back some life into Halo again.
God I remembering pining to find more and more Halo2 pro footage. Pouring over montage after montage and just going being awestruck by how talented people were at the game. These dudes (and several other older Esports Stars) deserve more love!
Oh man this takes me back. 2006-2010. MLG Halo was life, I miss those days man. Team change drama, trash talking pre tournament hype. It was a fun time!
i live in the midde of no where australia my first introduction to competetive computer games was videos downloaded of the xbox market place of these guys winning in halo a game i suck over 2000 hours into. thank score esports for a massive nostaligia trip and all the good memories
You never know, all year long my teacher told us he was one of the best in the world at guitar hero and he tried to give people advice (that got ignored) - on the last day of that year (and the last he had at that school) he brought in a 360 and he had some genuinely ridiculous scores!
Man this takes me back, I tuned into MLG at every oppurtunity when I was in high school which was around the same time that the Ogre Twins were at their peak. I was a huge Final Boss fan and although I always was a Welshy guy, the Ogre twins were awesome as well. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Thank you so much for more Halo content. It was a big part of my childhood and teen years, and I remember it with fondness. (Any 08 str8 fans out there?)
Ogre Twins and Final Boss was the only reason why I even started following Halo in the first place. Glad they finally got the recognition they deserve.
I always loved how their team name was Final Boss very appropriate for them as they would literally be the last & hardest “boss” to play against. I miss Halo I hope Halo PC can bring some of it back.
I live in pickerington to this day but graduated in 09 so I was a few years younger. I was in a couple montages though back in the day ShockOn3. This was such a good time man haha coming home from school hoping on halo2 I had tons of VHS tapes of gameplay at one point.
Watching the Ogre's battle T-Squared teams was epic and is what led me to become a huge esports fan. They had the twin esp and were reading each other's minds.
I Always loved Halo, I just never had any friends to play with so I moved to Cod, but I still Love Watching it, Peace out Ogre Twins, your God Like Legacy won't be Forgotten Brothers!!!!
Ogre 2 needs his own The score article. The man is one of the greatest if not the greatest console esports player of all time. It's like if Ken from smash kept winning until 2015.
Yeah, we were surprised we got a few. We've been to a few tournaments, so we were good enough, lol, but didn't expect to face them. We even went against Walshy and Ghost, my friend just froze when we found out who we were being defeated by. Big difference is skill was definitely noticed.
I lived through that era of gaming man and was the same age as them. I remember when they dropped Saiyan for Strongside and ultimately made them go to greater heights as a team. Good times man!
Chris puckett, the dude who introduced them to halo, is now the host of the overwatch league
Phucket Rocket.
He was MLG's top broadcaster for a long time before that.
He streams Halo lan parties every now and again on twitch
Lol chris fuckit was the best
As an active fan of both Overwatch and CoD esports I loved how casually he just mentioned that he went to school with him.
Great video. I remember watching Final Boss back in the peak Halo 2 era (2006 - 2007). Good times. :)
Me too!

Hey man idk if you’ll ever see this but I grew up with Jessie (sinsane). I think you and these guys are awesome man and just wanna thank you for all the stories and amazing displays you guys out in for the beginning of esports
Yeah you watched them a few times lmfao
bro why are u a fake walshy on youtube fucking terrible...
I always loved that Ogre 2 joined a team that had another set of twins to form another dominate squad.
imagine having 2 sets of twins on one team. They would've been the most dominant i believe
Lunchbox and Roy
@@OscarGonzalez-cn9ld yep
The sudds were the best twins no contest
Ryan .Boshyson Lmfao the suddoths? Get real ahahha
I went to MLG Orlando 2007 for halo 2. Placed top 64. Great memories. These guys were legends!
MLG 2005 Chicago got top 48 first event. At least you got to witness the dethroned moment. Got knocked out in ffa by TuLegit, Detach, and StK Xxx (who became Team Carbons Coach in 07)

Another Halo related video from you guys, love it.
My first tournament was MLG Seattle in 2004 and I had to play agianst them. We got destroyed, I remember playing them in several events and they were always respectful and nice.
It's like playing some guys who are talented and good... And then you play the ogres and don't even feel like you deserve to play Halo anymore
@@misterstaple Yup pretty much haha.
I still remember losing to them back in 2005 there BR was on another level
I feel bad for kids now a days, never got the chance to play halo
Halo competition died with H2.

Found the kid with no 4 shot lolol

Splitgate is fun for bit for then I just went back to Halo and felt kind of dirty for playing a knock off
I started at Penn State main campus in 2006. I remember meeting Team Carbon in 2007 there. I used to buy weed from a guy who lived in the Frat house they practiced out of. I was always a big gamer, and I went to meet him one time and he was hanging out in the team's "practice room" (just one of the larger bedrooms in the frat).

Karma was one of my heroes as a kid. I didn't know anyone else who played boxer.
And then gamers were starting to take aderall lmao
Wow. Such a nostalgia trip. Cant believe this era was 15 years ago.
It will never come again since Microsoft and bungie fucked up the competative scene.
Finally doing a video on the Ogre Twins, I didnt even need to skip the ad on the video to know this was about the Ogre Twins. Good to see some videos on the Halo scene.
I see halo I click like, I'd love to see a video about Chris Puckett, is clearly one of the fathers of what we know now as esports casters!
A Chris Puckett video would be amazing. Even when he stopped casting he was playing a large role within the MLG organization. I think a video for him would be quite appropriate.
On a side note, its crazy that he was the one that introduced the ogre twins to the game. Never knew that about the scene.
I can hear his voice in the old ESPN videos... "I'm Chris Puckett and this is your ESPN MLG Top 10"
I appreciate that this video exists. Ogre 2 especially has one of the greatest esports careers of all time. In any game, period.
I'd really like to see a video on Pistola. His is a great story, and he's a genuinely great dude. Would be a good watch.
Pistola is also super sick
Go look up the pro player Ghandi's TH-cam channel. He used to do a psuedo-podcast of the history of competitive Halo. He actually brought Pistola's dad on to talk about the first tournaments he attended.
I remember when I was 8 years old me and my brother first played we had tones of fun and became a lifelong fan of Halo
Final Boss is still the most badass team name
Thank you for making this video. I've been hoping the GOAT would get some more recognition for his dominance
Wow this brings back memories. Damn the good old days!
Miss these tournaments.
I'm so glad you guys made this video!
Now this is the video I've been waiting to see from you guys. Ogres deserve some recognition.
Halo 2 tournaments were the best! The game play and trash talking was amazing!! Brings back memories of Ghandi yelling at everyone non stop 🤣

Quad shot
Sword cancel
Super jump
Ahhh.. The times
I always had customs running where I was super jumping and sword canceling with friends.
And no private chats! Where lobbies were filled with conversation and smack talk among strangers that would become friends.
Please cover more Halo. Team dynasties, upsets, everything. Please

have had some of the best online experiences with halo 3

Pretty sure I played these guys back in the day. It was definitely fun. I miss those days
