I don't know who the top 5 are, Amish came into the pro circuit through FFA's and combines, I'm not sure how Jerawockee and Ryanoob came into the league, and 5K was back in the days of H2, when online players were regularly recognized for being good. In H3, you basically had to perform well at an event to get a shot at being on a pro team, nobody went straight from being an online player to being on a pro team.

TensoR204 is a faggot. I was going to punch that kid out in real life but he bitched out of a scrap.

He quit?

lol, no match bonus for him

I rest my case.

You're not good.

buttt, in case u were wondering:

Tensor, was notoriously known in halo 2 and halo 3 for being THE BEST individual player in the game. best player online by far, went to an event with Karma, Naded, and Tetra Shot, they failed to make it out of AM.
Aptitude, again notoriously known for being a completely nerd with no life, and an amazing online player. Got a sponsor through Gamebattles, went to an event for free, placed in pro bracket and is now on a pro seeded team.
NB, just a really known online kid.
Royal 2, was found by Warkid, myself and Homicide. Best halo 3 player online at the end of the '10 season, and went to an event with Homicide, TalenT and Minority, and is now on a pro seeded team.
Ulrich, just an online kid, but plays with pros on the daily, and was offered a spot on a pro team i cant remember last year.

or take me for example, im not known for my tournament play, but my online play got me an offer from Heaven and Earth before Dallas.

and zNightmare, he made pro bracket a couple times (top24) but his online play is what got him inside the top 12.

and how about GOOFY?

you lose

I'm not good because I don't know who a few people are? I recognize a few of their names, but I know nothing of them.

Nobody on that list fits what we're talking about We're talking about going from being an online player to being picked up by a pro team. The closest is you or Ulrich(Or possibly Goofy, I don't know his story). We're not talking about people that were good online players, went to an event and a few events later they were finally on a pro team.

We were talking about how if you were good enough, you wouldnt have to pay for an event and i would know who you were.

Royal 2 was recognized for being amazing online, and teamed with TALENT and HOMICIDE, thats pretty much a pro seeded team.
aptitude got a free sponsor being the best online, went to an event for free and placed pro.
Ulrich and znightmare got pro offers purely for being good online.

Eh1. most online players are unknown to event players. And I'm not sure what you mean, 2. no online player, no matter how good, gets fully sponsored unless they have some ridiculous connections.
1. i just named like 10, and have a list a lot bigger, so this is wrong.

2. aptitude got fully sponsored based on his skill online, not connections, and the other people i mentioned got on teams with a pro seed, and the stipend u get for being on a pro team pretty much pays your way to the event.

I got a sponsor after going to my first event but they were looking at us WAY before we even went to an event which shows that if you were good and if someone wants to sponsor you, they will get intouch even if you didnt go to an event

This. I would know seeing as I worked with his Sponsor when they were sponsored (pT). We would look at online talent as a gauge for how they might be at events and depending on a lot of things would depend on the level of sponsorship.
