Best Man and Defy then left the team, and Naded looked to try his luck at bringing another two amateur players into prominence, as he had previously done with the members of Storm Ventures, Xtrem1st, and the members of the first Fatal Images roster. This team had documented chemistry issues and ended up finishing 9th at the season opener in the Meadowlands. The 2009 season began with Naded again forming a new team - VG The New Order - alongside Defy, Best Man and Karma. The roster returned more practiced at the Las Vegas National Championships and managed to secure both Carbon and Naded's highest placings of the season - 3rd, closing an otherwise disappointing season out on a relatively high note for Naded. Naded then joined the struggling former juggernaut Carbon alongside Cpt Anarchy, GH057ayame and ShockWave. The result in Toronto was another 10th place finish. After Orlando, Naded replaced FeaR for the second straight event, this time joining Defy, Best Man and Gandhi on Legendz. Unfortunately, Naded's only event with Classic was disappointing, a 10th place finish in Orlando. Alongside Naded on Classic were Soldi3r187, AnT and Legend. After San Diego, Naded was picked up by Classic, a team looking to rebound following a disappointing placement in San Diego. At the following event in San Diego, Fatal Images placed 8th once again, this time with the veteran Foulacy in place of Wooooly. Naded managed to lead his unproven squad to an 8th place finish at the kickoff event in the Meadowlands. Naded started Halo 3 off on a new team called Fatal Images alongside three amateur players - TiZoXiC, Severince and Wooooly. Naded attended the MLG Canadian Open 2007 as a member of The Agency as well, with Slim filling in for Mackeo. With the Agency, Naded took another 3rd place finish in Chicago, but would not see anything higher as he would close the season out with 5th in Orlando and 4th at the Las Vegas National Championships. The new squad had a strong 3rd place finish in the Meadowlands, but followed it up with a 6th place finish at the following event in Dallas, leading to Naded leaving the team to join The Agency alongside Mackeo, Victory X and SK, replacing the departing ElamiteWarrior. Naded and Legit then reunited with Ramby to form Perfect Storm alongside newcomer Xtrem1st. After a 5th place finish at the kickoff event in Charlotte, Naded and Legit left Str8, citing their increased expectations with a high-profile team and the disappointment of such a low finish. Storm Ventures broke up during the 2006 offseason, with Naded and Legit joining the high-profile Str8 Rippin alongside MLG celebrities Tsquared and Foulacy. They went into the MLG Las Vegas National Championships looking to upset the top teams and win big money, but ultimately fell short, losing both of their bracket matches and only defeating XiT Woundz in consolation. At the MLG New York Playoffs, where the stakes and prize money were higher, SV finished 6th. They followed this up with four top 8 placings over the course of the regular season, finishing as high as 2nd at MLG Chicago and only finishing outside the top 8 once - at MLG Anaheim, where SV were unexpectedly upset by Triggers Down early in the winners' bracket and had the unfortunate luck of drawing the powerhouse Carbon squad early in the losers' bracket. Though none of the players on the team had achieved much success in MLG prior to the formation of the roster, Naded and his team stormed onto the scene with a 6th place finish at the kickoff event, coming all the way out of the open bracket to do so. Naded's Halo career began at the start of the 2006 MLG season - MLG New York, where he played as a member of Storm Ventures alongside Ramby, Poon and Legit. Despite consistently high placings throughout his career, he has yet to finish first at a major 4v4 event. One of the longest tenured players on the scene, he has played for numerous teams, most notably Team Allegiance, Winterfox, Str8 Rippin, Carbon, The Agency, and Storm Ventures. Brett " Naded" Leonard is a retired Halo esports player, previously a streamer for Lux Gaming.
