Im pretty sure I just played a game of skirmish against that dude Gho57ame or whatever his name is. His team won but I killed him like 3 or 4 times and he killed me once. I stuck him real sick one time and I was talking -blam!- just to see if it really was him. He didnt answer but whatever, just thought Id throw that out there since it was the first time I played with a pro.(atleast I think)

just so you peeps understand the Q. as i see some of you didn't, i never stated i was pro i stated i was good, and thought that i had wut it takes to be pro, and bung9ie stats have nothing to do with how good i am. if you true doubt my abilities and want to continue running your mouth on here and callin me a wanna be then thats ok with me just let me know when your ready to back dat blam-! up. i am tired of everyone saing i just a wanna be just becuse i can't afford to register for the tourneys, well i tell you wut if you want me to prove myself then why don't one of you start a tourney online and get someone to sponsor the winner and i will show you how good i can be when i want to try, bungie stats HA. all thats good for is seeing how many games you are away from your next level. so i state again if you doubt me then heres my GT just add me and tell me why you add me so i know wut it is about. DG x Assasin.


Personally I dont doubt the fact that youre good or the fact that you have the potential to go pro with your skill. I dont know you and therefore ill save the assumptions for later. I will tell you though that it takes alot more than being good with a BR to be a pro, you need to have strong mental discipline, maturity and be able to handle massive amounts of stress for long periods of time. As ive stated many times before, ive worked with and helped to train hundreds of players that thought they were the second comming of Jesus or something. They may have had tons of potential but in the end it was being overly cocky or their reactions to stress that did them in.

All im saying is that you can be good on live, hell you can have a legit 50 in everything but the whole story changes when youre sitting in an uncomfortable chair in a 60 degree room freezing your nuts off with thousands of people watching you play on a 20" split screen. Most of the time you wont be able to hear your teammates talk or hear yourself think. There are TONS of phenominal players on XBL, I like to think that im good and I know there are people out there that are wayyyy beter than I am. If you want to be a pro, go get it...dont waste your time sitting in here talking about it. Just realize exactly what its going to take and be determined to make it happen at ALL costs.

Is it really that cold in events?

Couple that with dealing with the main stage with 100 people watching and I can see why people choke......

Its not easy as most people think. I may not be the best player out there, but im one helluva trainer/coach. I try my best to prepare people for the stress of an event coupled with the fact that youre playing other kids on LAN that are also really good.

I have been playing halo for a while now and i think i am good realy realy good. if anyone knows who your suppose to be consiterd pro let me know.

you can beat anyone without using button glitches, super jumping, nub combos like pp+br, or hacking. to truly prove yourself, beat alot of people who do those things.

When you reach pro bracket at a major tournament, such as MLG, EGL, WSVG, etc.

Sponsorships does not mean you are pro, just that you convinced someone to pay for you to go somewhere and play or someone likes the way you play.

It is -blam!- freazing. I came there in black pants and a tshirt and I froze my ass off. Bunnies and I literally sat there and shivered in between rounds. It is about 30 degrees I think (no joke)
