Being a fan since Instinct became a team back in 2008 the one thing I wanted to see was Instinct to finally get a tournament victory after so many close encounters. Finally this year I got to see that happen not once, but twice and one of them in person. It was so awesome to finally see this team win in dominating fashion.

What i saw this weekend was not at all impressive. Instinct looked unpracticed and unprepared, unlike the other teams. To be getting dominated by teams like they were all weekend was embarrassing to watch as a noble fan. I honestly feel that the only practice Instinct has put in was the LAN in July and this one over the weekend. This is your chance Instinct to be labeled as the best Halo 3 team and to make history as the one of the best Halo teams ever and letting it slip up because you take a month off before the event.

You guys have roughly 3 days leading to the event to beat more practiced teams like FB, Dynasty, tD, sQ and BtH. I hope that you guys don't let me down and you can find a way to pull out the 3-peat, but as a fan I ask that no matter what happens at Raleigh that I want to see the practice put in like you did for Orlando so I can continue to watch you guys win.
