A list of some of the Halo 4 Global Championship competitors that have made it through. Two who didn’t and one who is retiring.

While watching the stream Ghostayame listed 12 of the competitors who got through. I was only able to catch 8 of those 12 as he talked a bit too fast for me to get them all down.

Here are those 8 in no particular order (gametags have been abbreviated or written as full letters for easy reading):
I Got Your Pistola
Ace
Naded
APG
Ninja
Hoaxer
Ogre2
Spartan the Dog

In other news, two competitors who went at it on twitter with each other are out. Sadly, T2 former Halo champ is out. The GREAT news? Giggle Monstat is out. This is that “cheater” who I ranted on. I’m ecstatic that he’s gone from the competition. Now perhaps we may have a LEGITIMATE winner.

In sad news, Snipedown has been eliminate and just tweeted that he’s retiring.

So who do you think is going to win it all? Someone from the list above? One of the Online Qualifiers? RTX or GamesCom Qualifiers?

I’m sticking with Snipedown. He’s looked strong in twitch stream practices.
