Lil Poison showed the world that there's more than just hype behind his reputation, winning second place in the largest FFA of all-time.
Being that young and finishing second in the largest Halo FFA of all-time is completely unimaginable, and the people who amassed to watch and spur him on to victory knew they were witnessing something both amazing and unique. At MLG Chicago, Lil Poison proved what the hardcore MLG community already knew -- that there is no gimmick behind his play. He's not “good for a 7-year-old.” He's great, period. The fact that he's half the age of other players who are considered very young merely adds to the “wow” factor of watching him destroy the competition. Watching the faces of the crowd that followed him from round to round, you could actually see the misconceptions about his skill melting away, as they realized that he was not only extremely dexterous and knowledgeable about how the game worked, but he actually understood and implemented the underlying strategy that is involved with the game. I've been watching Lil Poison play since MLG Halo Nationals in 2004 (when he was only five), and to be honest, he amazes me more and more each time I see him. With so much experience so early in life, there is literally no limit to how good Lil Poison could get, and everyone on the MLG staff has absolutely loved watching him grow up and is looking forward to his blindingly bright future in competitive gaming.
