Overview
Following their loss to Str8 Rippin at the Team Slayer-only Halo Nationals 2 event in Philadelphia, Team 3D opted to take a sabbatical from MLG events, instead competing at the VGL Orlando 2005 event. The winning Str8 Rippin roster stuck together and attended Vegas under the TrademarkGamers banner, and the former iGameSpot roster of ShockWav3, Gandhi, McGavin and Sergio reunited for the event. The all-star teams first met up in the WB Finals, where TmG won 3-0. IGS then battled out of the Losers' Bracket for a rematch in the Grand Finals, but could not overcome the 3-0 defecit, losing 6-3 in the end.
