[3] As of May 2020, Karma has won $815,087.25 from tournament winnings, making him the player to have earned the fifth most total prize money playing professional Call of Duty, and making him the player to have earned the fifth most total prize money playing any professional console game.

He started showcasing what he was truly capable of with the release of Call of Duty: World at War, however, his skill went largely unnoticed due to the lack of support in the community of the game.

[citation needed] Like many players, due to the lack of support, he chose to not compete during Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

With the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops II, he joined the newly formed team Fariko Impact coming in with great expectations.

This success continued into the next 3 events with the highlight being the Call of Duty Championship where Impact won the grand prize of $400,000.

Despite the loss, the team was able to bounce back and win the International Playoff at the MLG Championship Anaheim losing only a combined 5 maps the entire event.

The next event was UMG Dallas but EG would not be attending due to Karma's wife giving birth and him wanting to stay at home with her.

After some speculation, it was announced that he was loaned to FaZe Clan for the remainder of the season but would remain on contract with Evil Geniuses.

[citation needed] He later left Evil Geniuses after he complained on Twitter of being criticized for missing the Electronic Sports League Gamescom tournament for the birth of his daughter with wife Holly Barlow.

On June 3, 2020, Seattle Surge announced that Damon "Karma" Barlow had retired from competitive Call of Duty.

[6] Karma explained that he no longer enjoyed the game, specifically Modern Warfare, and thought his team could do better without him as he was "pretty bad.

"[7] Damon "Karma" Barlow rejoined OpTic Texas as head coach in May 2023, ahead of Major 5 in the Call of Duty League season.
