TG Blizzard is an amateur Halo 3 team that competes with Major League Gaming (MLG) and gamebattles under the banner of Tactical Gaming.
History[edit]
Originally created as a Structured Squad for Tactical Warfare's Halo Division it was closed in the waning days of Halo 2 due to a lack of membership. The squad was then reopened in January of 2008 as Halo Division membership swelled after the release of Halo 3. DBLDeathDealer was selected as the squad Leader. Damien TK, who was then Destiny Hero, was chosen as the Squad Assistant, along with starting members FredikinGuard (TW Hunter), Turtle555 (TW Turtle555), EButtigieg, and TW Blind. The Team has seen many roster changes but the longest standing members of TG Blizzard are: Damien TK (Ty), The SkiLLzzZzz (Rob), and Arcaos. The Team is currently sponsored by KontrolFreek [1].
