I know not everyone here is huge on MLG.. but I'm pretty sure 98% of anyone here has heard of Walshy and Final Boss.

Anyways, there's huge rumors going around.

Walshy dropped from FB, and Neighbor to replace him.
Walshy to Chilled Reality (currently holds the 9th seed)

This is not official, but there's been multiple pro's commenting on the situation. I have to believe it's some prank between some of the pro's.. but if not.. just wow. Easily the biggest roster change from Halo 2 and 3.

Also, another rumor involving this is neighbor begged elamitewarrior not to leave for fb, and then.. yeah.

EDIT: The more time goes by, the more this seems like reality.

ManTrain (coach of FB, very respected member in the MLG community, very good friends with FB) had this to say:

"Walshy made no such post. He is just now getting back from Orlando. That was somebody faking a post in a quote... you won't find the original post.

I will make this official for you...

Walshy is no longer a member of Final Boss, and he has told me that he is joining Chilled Reality (CMG, Perplexity, and Soviet).

Neighbor is in fact on FB.

It's not a rumor, it's real."

UPDATE: Found this.

UPDATE X2:

Some say the newly created GT "FB NEIGHBOR" is infact neighbor. If you look him up and check his games, he plays with some top names consistently. He also plays with FB, and a few with 2 members of FB and ManTrain.

Also, there was talk of Neighbor playing MLG playlist with the rest of FB on their "secret" accounts. Proof?

i'll def be updating it when more comes up.

I'm guessing team captain will be ogre 2.

The interesting thing about this is.. assuming its real, which I now think it is, that means there's a spot on str8. Could be another huge team change going down.

Neighbor is a beast though, imo in the top 3 most skilled H3 players. I can't say I'm angry about it. If the chemistry is right, this team will be almost unstoppable.

EDIT: Since getting back from Orlando, Walshy has had at least one cR member in his games played (~10)

While I'm here, my 3 guesses as to who str8 might pick up. In order..

Naded
Karma
Gandhi

I have my reasons.

Walshy and Neighbor play a custom. - teams were changed up, probably selected at random, all teams pretty much split. SS and Walshy on the same team.. awkward?

Idk...in that MLG Forum post he calls out the Ogres and doesn't mention StrongSide.

Might be because he knows that that was their girlfriend's account, but eh.

=Edit=
Ooh...Walshy -15?
Neighbor has got to be chuckling to himself after that.

and Tyler...weren't we just talking about how the Ogres can't keep the same two teammates for a game?

Irony.

Then again.. pretty much everyone who wasn't in denial of Final Boss's lack of Halo 3 success called it.

Final Boss won Meadowlands (1st tourney)
Str8 Rippin won San Diego (2nd tourney)
Triggers Down won Orlando (3rd tourney)

Overall top 3 placings after Orlando (not including roster changes from orlando -> toronto):
Str8 Rippin
Triggers Down
Instinct

And no "official" word of the Walshy out of FB yet. Guessing it will be somewhat soon though since it's pretty much out in the open.

Also, from what I can tell, ElamiteWarrior and then Neighbor was offered 15,000 dollars to join and they rejected in the end i guess. Can be noted that Neighbor had originally accepted, thus why he made the FB NEIGHBOR gamertag. still reading up. So.. spot is open on FB. Look for me, dan and i are homies.

A few other rumors:
Mackeo is being looked at
Roy is being looked at
Snipedown was the first to be offered the spot, but he declined.

Bigggg big talk of Mackeo going to Final Boss. FB tag and everything. I liked the neighbor pickup idea.. or elamite, or snipedown, but this is a horrible choice. Mackeo is one of the least impressive players to me out of everyone from top 16. I guess they didn't have too many choices left..

If it happens, don't expect mackeo to stay long. Their lack of success will make him go buh bye pretty quickly.

Walshy > Mackeo.

Still <3 FB though.
