Ogre 1

Dan Ryan began his professional gaming career playing at small local tournaments along with Tom Ryan, his twin brother. The two began to get involved with professional gaming after much success. Since then, he has been a member of Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 teams, some of which that have received media and gamer attention for finishing in the top of their tournaments and leagues. Some such teams include Team 3D's Halo 2 team, Team StK, Team Domination, Final Boss. He and his brother also represented the United States in the Halo 2 competition at the 2005 World Cyber Games in Singapore, defeating the Canadian team to secure a first-place finish. As part of Final Boss, he helped the team to win two consecutive Major League Gaming National Championships in 2004 and 2005, before finishing the 2006 season by placing second to Team Carbon in a close 4–6 match. Until the arrival of the 2008 season, Dan and Tom had not finished below 2nd place in a tournament. As the 2008 season started, it seemed as if Final Boss would pick up where they left off, winning MLG Meadowlands by defeating Team Classic. After placing dismally at the next two events, Final Boss dropped player Walshy to pick up another high-profile player from Str8 Rippin, Neighbor. Movement of players to different teams caused Final Boss to split their roster. Prior to the 2009 Pro Circuit, Ogre 1 was rumored to be retiring but was confirmed on the team roster of The Incredibles. Going into 2009, Ogre 2, the only original remaining member of Final Boss, had recreated his team alongside pro players Mackeo, Fearitself, and Victory X. After Meadowlands 2009, Ogre 1 officially retired from competitive gaming. Although he currently plays Halo: Reach, Dan now plays for Australian MLG team 'Immunity' alongside teammates Benno, Heff and Voltage.
