Ben Jackson (born March 1988) (also known by his pseudonym Karma) is a professional Halo player from Murrieta, California, United States.[1]
High school years
Jackson attended Murrieta Valley High School, graduating in 2006. Jackson initially began playing the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game around the time of his sophomore year; he then started playing Halo intensively when Halo 2 was announced and widespread promotion of the Xbox 360 commenced. Jackson first attended a Major League Gaming tournament for Halo: Combat Evolved in Los Angeles, but performed poorly.[2]
Professional gaming
At age seventeen, in May 2005, Jackson became a professional Major League Gaming (MLG) Halo 2 gamer. After an initial period as a part-time player with Team Carbon, Jackson became a full-time member in late 2005. At the 2005 MLG National Championship in New York City, New York, Jackson became the MLG National Free-For-All (FFA) Champion for Halo 2 and remained unbeaten throughout the 2006 MLG season, leading to another title.[3]
