![]() The last post received way more attention than I'd anticipated, so I wanted to put more time in for the update. We use them all day, from controller to keyboard, and you want to keep your hands ready to do whatever you need them to do.Hi - sorry for the delay on this. Some people use grip handles, but since I develop my grip through weightlifting-I do pullups and bench presses-I prefer to train my hands by playing as much as I can. That repetition is key-I have more acute hand activity, and my fingers know which way I want them to react. Since you have a millisecond to decide how to react in a firefight, mapping that connection between your fingers and your brain makes for much more harmonious game-play. Some people like to relax in cold or hot water, or with epsom salts, but I stretch my thumbs before I pick up a controller, which lubricates the joints. No one wants to speed up carpal tunnel because of gaming. Michael “Flamesword” Chaves is OpTic Gaming’s Halo master and resident gym rat. Follow him on Twitter.Tom Ryan and his twin brother Dan Ryan were born on August 3, 1986. OGRE2's competitive roots in Halo begin with the StK ( Shoot to Kill) clan on Xbox Connect, where he and his brother OGRE1 made names for themselves as a force to be reckoned with. ![]() In early 2003, OGRE2 attended his first major tournament at Halo50k in Atlanta as a member of StK with OGRE1, Strangepurple and Dom1nator. StK placed 2nd at this event, losing to TDT (The Dream Team). OGRE2's next tournament was the iGames Nationals, at which he and OGRE1 participated in the 2v2 competition. StK then attended Halo50k2 with Cyrax in place of Dom1nator in New Jersey and won, defeating TDT and winning their first major 4v4 tournament. At AGP 3, StK attended with Clockwork replacing Cyrax. StK again bested TDT, winning an intense 11 game series to close out 2003 on top. To start off 2004, StK attended MLG Philadelphia 2004 and took first place in the 4v4. At the only ever major 3v3 Halo event, MLG Dallas 2004, StK minus Clockwork placed 1st. StK then attended MLG Chicago 2004 with Saiyan replacing Clockwork, and lost to the newly formed Team FFA, composed of individually skilled players and put together solely to defeat the dominant StK. Shortly after Chicago, Clockwork returned to StK, replacing Strangepurple, and the squad attended MLG Atlanta 2004, where they were defeated in a very close series by FFA. After being dissatisfied with back-to-back 2nd place performances, the OGRE twins formed Domination, a roster consisting of OGRE1 and OGRE2, alongside KillerN and Walshy from FFA. ![]() This squad saw immediate success, winning at MLG Seattle 2004. Domination then took 3 MLG events off to compete at AGP 5 and AGP 6. The squad then returned to MLG for the MLG New York National Championships 2004, where they defeated the Filthy Jackalopes in the finals to be crowned the first ever Halo National Champions.įor the beginning of the 2005 season, Domination replaced KillerN with former StK member Saiyan, and changed their name back to StK. This lineup would be highly successful, placing 1st at MLG D.C., MLG San Francisco, AGP7 D.C., MLG Houston and MLG Orlando. After Orlando, StK gained a sponsorship from 3D, and changed its name to Team 3D. At MLG Philadelphia, Team 3D was finally defeated by Str8 Rippin. This was a controversial event, as only Team Slayer gametypes were played in the 4v4 Halo 2 competition. While 3D lost the Halo 2 4v4, they won the Halo: CE 2v2 and 4v4s at the same event. Following MLG Philadelphia, Team 3D skipped the next few MLG events to participate in the 2005 World Cyber Games 2v2 tournament. OGRE1 and OGRE2 defeated their 4v4 teammates Walshy and Saiyan in the finals. They then attended the WCG Finals in Singapore, where the Ogres won the 2v2 tournament.
