T2 is the man. I was exposed to MLG thanks to his True Life episode. It was so sick running into him last year at HWC and having a conversation. To say i'm excited about Str8 returning to Halo is an understatement.
Tsqaured is what really wanted me to be a Halo MLG Pro back then. He was the face of MLG to me. I think of him when I get Dr Pepper occasionally because his sponsorship. Handsome model he with his buzzcut.
T2 was my first favorite Halo pro thanks to that True Life episode (which I’m pissed I don’t have recorded anymore, had it on my DVR and the hard drive got fried and I lost everything 😫 haven’t been able to find it anywhere since.) This was awesome!!
Saving this so I can watch it on my lunch break tomorrow. T2 is the fkn man. Dude grinded his way from the bottom up doing whatever he had to in order to make it to each event before getting sponsored. Love his story and will never forget seeing him on MTV Truelife
As a guy who came from Halo all the way back in 03, this was awesome. Love seeing big daddy T2! Glad he's still in the game one way or another.

The fact you call him big daddy T2 is comedy. lmao. I feel you tho, T2 was your favorite pros favorite pro back in h3.
Good watch. Would love to see the GOAT Ola he is missed so much
Incredible interview! Only wish it was as long as the Bestman show haha. Great stuff guys, love it. T2 is largely the reason I got so into MLG early on.
Love the content! Incredibly thoughtful perspectives from Eli, Makowski, and T2! Thank you for the content and keep up the great work!
Remember when t2 was a caster and was honest and open about criticizing 343 over how horrible they were managing the competitive scene, and they fired him? I remember. Only caster who kept it real about the issues with h5, and of course they axed him
Went to watch the Str8 Rippin montage right after this lol
Saw this video title rec from YT few hours ago and knew I had to watch it. The Tsquared combo
Nice. T Squared! Classic Str8 was the glory days of halo. Legit, Elamite, T2, Snipedown! It’d be crazy if you got all of them on at the same time. :D Didn't no Str8 was an org/trying to be an org?
Straight fragin like a pro.
T2 we need official Str8 Rippin merch asap. Can't find an old hat or hoody online that doesn't want $30 for UK shipping lol.

I can't believe T2's name wasnt on the Dr. Pepper bottles; I drank so many of them and never noticed! Also montaging has never went away nor died; it's just the current HCS pro player base doesn't care to make montages, but that doesnt mean the community isnt putting out awesome tages for CE/H2/H3 etc. Although these videos and players aren't supported by those in charge, that does not mean they dont exist. Sick Halo montages are released every single year, just because they may not be Halo Infinite clips, doesnt make them any less entertaining!

Yeah h2 montages coming out weekly now with good editing
What an episode !! Please keep these coming.
Enjoying these interviews! Good stuff.
Love it-keep up the great work guys
Man i remember being so stoked to get dr pepper when T2 made that deal
The whole HCS is basically a montage these days.
If I saw T2 on the subway I wouldn’t even know it was him lmso - but he looks good!
