We've got Best Man!

are you happy with gaming and are you glad you stuck with it and became a professional
Best Man (4:06 PM)
Yes. I'm glad I stuck with it. In the end, all of the practice and stuff that I have done is paid off. It's only going to get better, as the seasons continue.
Zach Dvorak (Gahanna, Ohio)
MLG is growing an extremely rapid pace. Where do you think you will be within the next year or so with Halo 3?
Best Man (4:08 PM)
I think next year it will be about the same with Halo 3. Tournaments will still be filling up.
Scott from Austin, TX
1) What prompted you to choose "Best Man" as your tag? 2) What role do you feel most comfortable playing as a member of Legendz? 3) Think back to the first time you played halo EVER, what do you remember about it?
Best Man (4:09 PM)
I chose Best Man because it was an inside joke with my friends. They called me a good man. The role I feel most comfortable with is the aggressive/objective role.
Ben from Potsdam Newyork
hey what was going through your head when you came from the losers bracket the whole way and then win the 8th spot over atg?
Best Man (4:09 PM)
A lot of things. I was pretty excited because we lost in the first round and we played a lot of games to get there. There was a lot of adrenaline. I was pretty excited and now I get to play in the national championships in Vegas.
Martin (Weston,FL)
What crazy things do you do for good luck?
Best Man (4:10 PM)
No, not really. The only thing I would do is, I usually put the controller on my lap and don't touch it until the game starts.
blacKstaR (Millersville, PA)
how much time did you honestly practice halo 3 at Mehga's house?
Best Man (4:11 PM)
Whenever the weekends that I go over there. I play about 8-10 hours a day. He works and I am there by myself.
Jorge (Tallahassee, FL)
What will it take for LGZ to place at least top 3 in Vegas? I really do believe that you have the talent to do so.
Best Man (4:11 PM)
A good LAN. We have to do good at the LAN before Vegas. If we can do that, I think we'll be confident going into Vegas. We'll also be lanning with Final Boss.
William (Holly Springs, NC):
About many hours of halo do you play a day?
Best Man (4:12 PM)
As of lately, I've been practicing pretty much all day, from about noon to 10 p.m. Before the last couple of events, I wasn't online as much, because we always lanned as a team. But now that it's a big tournament, I've been playing more.
Cody B. Plant City, FL
Hey i was wondering, i have heard that Orlando was the livest MLG event of all, do you think MLG is going to do something different next year for Orlando?
Best Man (4:13 PM)
I don't think so. I think they'll keep it the same and hopefully it will be even better.
Andy, Florida Miami
Hi Best Man, how are you and your team getting ready for the next event/season?
Best Man (4:13 PM)
We're going to be lanning with Final Boss before teh final event. There will be a lot of games being played there.
Brandon : Memphis, TN
Ive matched up with you about two times, why dont you ever use your mic? Gratz in Dallas btw!
Best Man (4:14 PM)
I usually don't like to talk when I play by myself and warming up, just getting my shotgun. Next time, if you get matched up with me, mention it and I'll put my mic in.
GarG, Bronx New York.
Best Halo 3 player on the planet?
Best Man (4:15 PM)
Histeria.
Dutch (Ohio)
how lucky did you feel after winning that local h2 tourny at station X with quake?
Best Man (4:15 PM)
I felt it was pretty lucky because we only had to play two matches. That was two years ago, I don't know how you can remember that.
Cody Burnett, Plant City Florida
So Best Man its been a crazy season and i was wondering how many of hours of practice you have put in towards Vegas?
Best Man (4:16 PM)
In the past week, I've probably played 10 hours a day since Monday. That's all I've played so far. So, probably a good 40 hours so far and I'm going to continue playing a lot.
Cody Allen NY
Is there any pressure to beat carbon because of Gandhis history with them?
Best Man (4:17 PM)
Yeah, I guess there's a little pressure. But there always is when there is a past behind it. It would be fun to be matched up with them.
Pud: Pennsylvania
How did you become as good as you are as a team player and are you going the BCGL LAN on Nov. 8th in Harrisburg, PA?
Best Man (4:17 PM)
Just practice on my game and just confidence. Being really confident in the type of player you want to be.
Dave "Dunittt14" Calgary, Canada
I was just wondering, who do you feel contributes the most to your team LeGendZ
Best Man (4:18 PM)
I would have to say Defy, because he shoots everything. He has one of the sickest shots in the game. He just helps out no matter what his stats are.
Martin M. (Weston,Florida)
What team are you most scared of playing in Vegas, who do you think will win?
Best Man (4:19 PM)
Str8t Rippin. We also have to play them in the first round. We have had to play them in every event but one.
Best Man (4:20 PM)
I just want to say thanks for he support in Dallas. Support us as much as you can in Vegas. And a shout out to Mehga aka Matt!
