Episode 22. In this powerful installment of Tied the Leader, we sit down with Commandstation—an Air Force servicemember and trailblazer in competitive Halo—fresh off her historic Free-For-All LAN win at DreamHack Dallas. From childhood memories on a Disney Princess TV to honoring her late father through her gamertag, Ally shares the inspiring journey behind her rise, her military-life balance, and her impact on women in competitive gaming. It’s raw, real, and unforgettable.

In Episode 21, Trippy digs deep to share some juicy insights from recent Rostermanias—including near misses on picking up a couple of "Legends." We explore his journey, from teaming with nearly every notable pro, past and present, to his first LAN success at the 2019 Red Bull Rise Till Dawn 2v2 Tournament while teaming with Pznguin, and ultimately capturing the 2022 Halo World Championship as a member of OpTic Gaming. He also opens up about his weight loss journey, and we have a blast ranking gaming snacks in a tier list.

In Episode 20, Last Shot takes us through his incredible Halo journey—from a 200+ placement at his first event to securing a Top Two finish at HCS Arlington 2024. We explore his meteoric rise from canning fruits and vegetables on his family farm and struggling with a Starlink connection to competing for a first-place finish on the HCS mainstage. Along the way, he makes several unforgettable stops, including an FFA World Championship.We’re excited to share this latest addition with you and hope you enjoy it as much as we did putting it together.
