How many hours of Halo do you need to play per day to be at pro/semi-pro skill?
IGotUrPistola (4:01 PM)
Honestly? I only play about 2 hours a day. With my team or by myself to keep my skill level up. You don't have to play too much.
Gonzo (Oak Lawn, Illinois)
Pistola, with your back-to-back MVPs how will your team and you follow up into Dallas?
IGotUrPistola (4:02 PM)
Hmmmm...I think we'll do great in Dallas. I feel like we didn't click in the championship in Columbus. I think we'll do amazing. I think at least top two.

Hey Pistola, who do you think is the better sniper on your team. You or Hysteria??
IGotUrPistola (4:03 PM)
Man! That's a mean question! I think Hysteria is definitely a better sniper than me. He can just get whatever he wants. BAM! And I love him. He's the man.
Ramirez (UK Sheffield)
You played amazing at both columbus and meadowlands Earning the MVP award twice. Which event do you feel you played better at overall?
IGotUrPistola (4:04 PM)
I feel at Meadows, I played my best. But I am hoping at Dallas I play my best. We feel amazing and that we'll win. But I think Meadows was my best.

what is the hardest thing about being a pro?
IGotUrPistola (4:06 PM)
It's actually not that bad. The only thing that's hard is there's always negative and positive comments. You just can't let the negative ones effect you. Take them as positive. "Hey Pistola, I hate you." I say thank you.

How does it feel to be considered one of the best players in the league?
IGotUrPistola (4:12 PM)
It feels great to be recognized as a good player. If you're good at something, it feels good to have people notice.
Zack (Norcross, Ga)
Your position confuses me, you tend to position your self as a support player, yet your score suggests that your the main slayer. What would you say your position accually is?
IGotUrPistola (4:13 PM)
I think everybody on our team, we do everything. We slay, we do objective we support each other. A win is a win.

It was Charlotte '07. That was the very first MLG event I ever attended. It was only an hour and a half drive, so I said let's go.
Joshua (Arizona)
How did you get noticed?
IGotUrPistola (4:16 PM)
I feel like I started to get noticed in 2009. I felt like SK thought that I had something and they wanted to see what I could do. So, I feel like I started to get noticed in 2009.

Do you consider the new Carbon with Walshy and Strongside a threat? If not, how good do you think they will do?
IGotUrPistola (4:18 PM)
I consider every team a big threat. You can never overlook a team. We'll have to see what they can do. I think they'll do great. They're all legends.
IGotUrPistola (4:19 PM)
I would like to thank my family, friends and fans. Thanks for supporting me. It's been a great year so far, hopefully it will continue to be a great year. Go TD!
