 In Winners Bracket Round 2 of the MLG Columbus Championship Bracket, Str8 Rippin and Carbon just went head to head in a match-up that posed a wealth of questions about how both teams' weekends might turn out. Despite the fact that they were clearly not firing on all cylinders, Str8 Rippin still eventually went on to narrowly win the pulse-pounding series in a decisive Game 5. They'll now move on to face Instinct in Winners Bracket Round 3. The bigger story here is Carbon's performance against a team they were expected to fall hard to. We saw a Carbon that hasn't been seen since the 2008 National Championships, and the showing brought on a new sense of hope for a team that has struggled to find consistency since the dawn of Halo 3. Defy showed that he can thrive in the right environment, and his presence seems to be the perfect fit for Carbon's methodical play-style. As they drop into the Placement Bracket to take on The Dynasty, we'll be keeping a close eye on how this new and improved Carbon is able to fare. Winners Bracket Round 2
