Genesis Rider

Summary: A competitive and consistent Halo player since Halo 3. Big Team Battle is my go-to playlist. Head Recruitment Officer and scrim team starter for ExO Delta Gaming. I create gameplay opportunities through teamwork. In the absence of orders I will take charge, lead my teammates and win the game. I persevere by being mentally stronger and more mature than the opposition. I strive to find the light in the dark.....the point between rage and serenity.

My Halo Timeline: Beat Halo CE & Halo 2's Campaigns (PC) on solo Legendary before buying an Xbox 360 & Halo 3 in early 2009. Focused mainly on collecting achievements. I then discovered competitive Halo (MLG at the time) & began watching online tournaments every chance I got. Since then I've kept up with the competitive Halo eSports scene closely & am a dedicated spectator/fan of many players. Due to school & a lack of close immediate support I would never compete in tournaments myself, but I've always had a strong interest in playing Halo competitively no matter the situation. For me, having fun in any multiplayer game means winning & learning how to do so in the most skillfully efficient & teamwork oriented way possible. The following happened next in chronological order:

• Unlocked all achievements in Halo 3 (including DLC).
• Bought Halo 3 ODST day one & unlocked all achievements acquiring Recon armor in Halo 3 (noteworthy feat at the time).
• Played the Halo Reach Beta & hit max rank.
• Bought Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary day one & unlocked all achievements.
• Bought Halo Reach day one & unlocked all achievements (including DLC). I climbed to "Reclaimer" rank. I had 70,000+ kills with over a 1.9 K/D. Discovered my love for BTB.
• Bought Halo 4 day one & unlocked all achievements. Hit SR130 within two months of the game's release. I have over 103,000 kills, over a 2.3 K/D, and a 50CSR in BTB, CTF, Race, OG Slayer, ect.
• Played the Halo 5 Guardians Beta & achieved Semi-Pro rank in Slayer & Breakout.
• Bought Halo The Master Chief Collection day one & mainly stuck to the Big Team Battle playlist. Due to the incredibly broken nature of the game I refused to get all the achievements. There is a lot I could say here that will simply go unsaid. This was by far the lowest point in my experience with the Halo franchise.
• Bought Halo 5 Guardians day one & placed Champion #13 in Big Team Battle during the Preseason. Currently have over 1000 non-Firefight Warzone wins (90% win rate) & over a 80% win rate in Arena with over 285 Perfection medals. I strongly dislike 4v4 in Halo 5 (maps, spawning, radar, kill times, ect).

• I've set up & successfully run over four different local 6+ Xbox 360 Halo LANs.
• I personally attended & spectated MLG's 2011 Columbus Ohio tournament (Halo Reach) and the 2017 Halo World Championship (Halo 5).
• I don't curse/cuss at all. Even so, I choose to judge others by their actions, not purely by their words.
• I'm an avid gamer, music listener, movie viewer, and overall media connoisseur.
