So at my 100th post milestone i typed a small story of y i joined TLN and how my life was going as of recent past. alot of people said that they wanted more stories to come and enjoyed my 100th post so now for my 200th post im going to tell you y i play MLG

When i was 12 in 2002 i was told that i had a heart condition called mitral valve prolapse they said i could no longer play sports i loved Baseball i was a pitcher and i was devistated. fast forward 2 years i played Counter-Strike with a friend online alot and heard about Tourneys and i got excited but i was never good enough then i heard about MLG and called my friend and said hey Eaither we are gonna go Pro in CS or im buying a Xbox tomorrow and Halo. he said HA good luck and thats what i did the next day i spent all the money i had on a used Xbox and a used copy of Halo1 and began to play friends Halo 2 was going to be released that novemember so i never got xbox live. Halo 2 dropped and i had to wait till Christmas and my friend wound up giving me his coll copy. but my parents did not like Online gaming so they would not pay for Xbox life. i had to wait almost another year and some change before i got the chance to go to XBL i played on something called XBC if i wanted to play Halo2 the practice was weak but it was still practice i got talented at halo 2 and finaly got XBL turns out i sucked lol. but i played and played and played it but i never had the money to go to a MLG event lol see a pattern im just broke all the time. so now its almost time for Halo3 and i dont have a 360 or Halo 3. well i spent all my 16th birthday money on Halo 3 legendary edition my mother wound up suprising me with paying the rest. this all happened at 10:30 the night of the midnight release. i still had no 360 but i had legendary Halo 3 so i was ok. well i had to play Halo so i hit up all my friends and once a week went over to play halo 3 when i first played it i was in love it was fantastic it was a fresh chance to get good at halo and i had the talent now. so i made a GB team for the MLG Online bracket of 2008 (Str8 won that tourney lol) and we sucked we got 0-3 and broke up lol. so i played and made teams watched MLG you all know the Halo3 story. fast forward to 2010 i Finally had a chance to go to a Event the Chi town Combine so i took my team DoubleTAKE and paid for my whole team and family i was determend to play in 1 halo 3 event we took 90th so it was not to bad... now its the present im still in love with MLG and Reach is out and im playing the most i have ever and determend as ever to be successful at MLG thats my story and 200th post thanks for the read and thanks for the love

Cool story bro... In all seriousness though sorry to hear about your Heart Condition. I loved to play baseball as well but from where I come from a lot of my friends and school buddies go pro playing baseball or go play for great baseball college teams like Gamecocks or Clemson. I wasn't good enough to go pro. I'm happy for all you've done though man and This week my team will be down to bea... errr I mean scrim your team :p Congrats on the post count btw.

thanks Magik and my team is working hard so we are ready to give your team a good Series... and yeah i was an amazing Pitcher with a 5 pitch rep and a 88 MPH Fastball as a Sph in High School i was being talked to by people in the Springfield Cardnials Farm System so i had a shot to play for my Dream Team of the St. Louis Cardinals all my life before i found MLG my lifes goal was to Pitch in Busch stadium but i will sadly never get that chance but when i go to the game (i go to like 15 a year) i still get that little kid feeling of being 58 feet from every plate and 60 feet 6 intchs from home...
