Walshy and two members then took part in the MLG Dallas 3v3 tournament, where they placed top 8 once again. The team lived up to its name, winning MLG Seattle. He nearly repeated the feat at AGP 6 , but he and Ogre2 finished top 4 in the 2v2.
In the off season between and , KillerN left Domination and was replaced by Saiyan. The team then returned to the name of StK , short for Shoot to Kill. StK then picked up a sponsorship from 3D, and changed its name accordingly to Team 3D. Though 3D lost in the Halo 2 event in Philadelphia, they also participated in the Halo: CE tournament at the same event and won.
In , Team 3D changed its name to Final Boss , and started the year off with the dominance that had become expected from them. They won the first four events of the year, putting them at a streak of eight straight event wins, but competition was forming.
Str8 Rippin and the recently formed Carbon were both looking more and more like contenders with each event, and Carbon finally broke the wall with a team change, and defeated Final Boss in the finals at MLG Orlando After three straight losses, it was clear something had to change in Final Boss, so they made the decision to drop Saiyan in favor of Strongside. This pickup proved to be successful, as Final Boss won the first two events of Despite winning the inaugural event, Final Boss struggled at the next two events, with 5th and 7th placings, and made the controversial decision to drop Walshy.

They came out hot, taking a game from the extremely hot Final Boss squad in round 1, but still finished in 8th out of 8 teams to end Halo 3 on a low note for Walshy. This team was an instant fan favorite. This turned out to be Walshy's final event as a competitor, as he would announce his retirement in March Walshy right in the casting booth with TheSimms. Since retiring from competitive play, Walshy has become a popular caster for Halo events, as well as an occasional coach and a popular streamer, often streaming himself playing Halo: CE from the Master Chief Collection on Twitch.
Georgallidis started playing "League of Legends" in , a strategy and battle game developed by Riot Games, and quickly became one of its stars. He was one of the first players to attract tens of thousands of streaming viewers to his online channel.

That allowed him to create Counter Logic Gaming and fund the team's travel and operating expenses, but he couldn't keep practicing so much while fostering his business and maintaining a personal life. Last year, he gave up his spot on the team to focus on coaching and managing the players.
Along with fatigue comes stress. Players in Riot's professional leagues scrimmage for about eight hours a day against teams they'll eventually face in high stakes competitions.
For much of the rest of the day, they're running drills. For these reasons, gamers need to think about other options by their mids, said Tobias Sherman, co-founder of eSports Management Group, a sports agency for gamers.
That's why he speaks candidly with players about how long they can reasonably compete and helps them plot out their post-gaming lives. In some cases, that means transitioning to another professional game that requires strategy but moves more slowly: poker. A number of international e-sports competitors have transitioned to a career playing cards.
Some also build careers as sportscasters, and more will likely do so as e-sports grows in popularity. Viewership for MLG competition video grew percent last year to 54 million hours, and Twitch now boasts 45 million monthly users.
Though he never made a living competing in Blizzard's "StarCraft" franchise, his personality and expertise helped him launch a career in Seoul, South Korea, as one of the industry's best-recognized commentators.
