Carbon (Electronic Sports Team)

Carbon is a professional Major League Gaming (MLG) HaLo 3 team, currently the sixth ranked Halo team in the MLG. The team was formed at the MLG event in Orlando 2006. Before that, Carbon members competed at MLG events for other teams, such as iGamespot (IGS) Monglers and Phreaks. At Orlando 2006, they ended Final Boss's 8-game winning streak that dated back to MLG's 2005 season. Carbon beat Boss at the final three events of the season: Orlando, the New York City Playoffs and the MLG National Championships in Las Vegas. At the National Championships, Carbon finished first and won $100,000 as a team.

Carbon has a strong rivalry with MLG teams Final Boss and Str8 Rippin. On December 18, 2006, the MLG signed Carbon to a 3-year, million dollar deal.. USA Network scheduled an MLG show to broadcast weekly that features Carbon every week from November to December 2006.

Carbon recently placed sixth at MLG Meadowlands in the first event of the 2008 Halo 3 Pro Circuit. Carbon was able to defeat Str8 Rippin 3-2 deep in the winners' bracket, but ultimately fell to Team Triggers Down. In the consolation game for fifth and sixth place, Carbon was defeated by Str8 Rippin, leaving Carbon with $2,800 in prize money for the event. Inspired by a sixth place finish, the team hoped to do better in MLG San Diego, and did so, coming fourth. They then came a disappointing seventh for the next two events, at Toronto and Dallas, slipping a place in overall team standings to seventh after Ambush. Nevertheless, at the MLG National Championships in Las Vegas, Carbon took an impressive third place, their highest finish all season, defeating in the process 2nd seeded team Triggers Down and 3rd seeded team Final Boss.
