Biography
Halo 3
Halo: Reach
2011-12
Coby was a member of Reality Check alongside Suddoth1, Suddoth2 and PkBKidd for two events in 2011. They placed 29th at MLG Orlando 2011 and 22nd at MLG Providence 2011. At the MLG Winter Championship 2012, Coby played on Defiance alongside Furyyyy, Chaikuh and Wolfmayyne. They placed in the top 32.
Halo 4
2012
Coby's highest placing at a major event came at the MLG Fall Championship 2012 Halo 4 exhibition event, where as a member of Legendary alongside Best Man, PreDevoNator and Sargoth, he placed 4th.
2013
Coby remained on Legendary for the beginning of the AGL era, teaming with Sargoth, Lunchbox and iGotUrPistola for AGL 3 Chicago. They finished 3rd. Legendary returned at AGL 5 Nashville with Coby, Sargoth, Lethul and a returning PreDevoNator. They finished outside of the top 8.
Halo 2: Anniversary
Coby's first H2A event was PAX Prime Showdown 2014, where he played on Darkest Hour alongside Elumnite, Frosty and Wolfmayyne. They finished 6th.
HCS Season 1
Coby did not compete in the Halo Championship Series until he joined the eXcellence Gaming organization as a member of eX Black alongside Wolfmayyne, SwiftKill and UnLegit. Their first tournament together was Gamers For Giving 2015, where they finished in the top 12, not enough to qualify for finals.
HCS Season 2
Coby, SwiftKill and UnLegit remained on the eXcellence roster to start HCS Season 2, with Spartan replacing Wolfmayyne, simply going by eXcellence at this point. They finished 9-12th at Iron Games Atlanta 2015 before replacing Spartan and SwiftKill with Frosty (not to be confused with the Frosty Coby teamed with at PAX Prime) and eL TowN. The new roster again finished 9-12th at HCS Indianapolis, and they qualified for the HCS Season 2 Finals as the 8th seed. At the finals, Coby and eXcellence had a top 8 finish.
Trivia
