Hey guys,
First and foremost, it was not my intention to ghost after posting a stupid meme in response to the ruling. Complexity wanted me to hold off on posting until they had completed their investigation, made a statement, and announced my release from the roster. Complexity has been nothing short of amazing and supportive throughout all of this. So the least I could do was to respect their wishes and wait to be able to post. I am grateful however; for the time to process this situation, reflect on my actions, and speak to the Halo community from my heart.
Second, I absolutely screwed up. I take full responsibility for my actions, and acknowledge that those actions violated HCS rules and were solely responsible for my team being disqualified from the London Major.
If you havenβt read it, I encourage you to read Complexityβs statement on the HCS ruling, as it provides my perspective on the incident. (

I have also uploaded a long youtube video talking about everything and providing a visual of what exactly I had done from start to finish. That can be found here:

As described in the statement, I complied fully with both the HCS and Complexity investigations. The technical team scrubbed the SSD and found no cheating software. They confirmed that I installed MSI Afterburner and used it to optimize my GPU. I hope that being transparent, open, and honest is seen as a first step in a long road to demonstrating my remorse for my actions.
As you all know, I have remained adamant that the SSD was not mine. After that claim was made by HCS, investigations further into it determined that the SSD was indeed one of theirs, and that I did not bring my own. You can see they have updated their original ruling (
halowaypoint.com/news/hcs-loβ¦). This of course, does not absolve me from the fact I still broke a rule in an attempt to stabilize the performance of my game without consulting administration. I made a careless and thoughtless mistake and I want to not only hold myself accountable, but be held accountable by everyone else.
I want to take this time to apologize. To apologize for my poor judgment in tampering with league equipment. To apologize for not seeking admin help and instead taking actions on my own. To apologize to my fans, my teammates, to Complexity, to HCS, to Quadrant, and the entire Halo community. I understand the damage my actions have caused, and there are no words to explain how deeply and genuinely sorry I am for the silly actions I took.
As of right now, I have been banned from all online tournaments, HCS Atlanta, HCS Salt Lake City, and HWC 2024. I will be submitting an appeal and updating everyone on the outcome of the appeal when I receive that information.
Regardless of the outcome, I will be working endlessly to set a positive example in the Halo community, and I hope that over time I can earn back the trust that I have lost as a result of my actions in London. I will continue to create content offer individual coaching on Metafy. I hope to see everyone in my streams and I look forward to coaching one on one again.
Additionally, my contract with Complexity has been terminated. I would like to thank them for their support throughout this process and I wish them all the best of luck. Some of the best people I have ever worked with and I am beyond grateful for everything they have done for me.
Thank you all, genuinely.
