Tom Ryan, known under the pseudonym Ogre 2, is a retired professional Halo player from Columbus, Ohio.

He played on the Boost Mobile MLG Pro Circuit on USA Network in 2006. and was briefly sponsored by NBA player Gilbert Arenas.

Tom and his brother also represented the United States in the Halo 2 competition at the 2005 World Cyber Games in Singapore, defeating team Canada to secure a first-place finish.

[9] It wasn't until the emergence of Team Carbon that Final Boss struggled to continue its reign of dominance.

As the 2008 Halo 3 season started, Final Boss won at MLG Meadowlands by defeating Team Classic.

In a surprising move, after placing dismally at the next two events, Final Boss dropped longtime captain Walshy to pick up another high-profile player from Str8 Rippin, Neighbor.

Going into 2009, Strongside departed for the newly formed Status Quo and Ryan's brother left Final Boss and moved to Australia.

This left Ogre 2 as the only remaining original member of Final Boss, alongside pro players Mackeo, Fearitself, and Victory X.

The next season brought a variety of new additions, including Mackeo, Fearitself, and Victory X, along with Neighbor, Sypher, and Totz.

Final Boss dropped Totz to pick up Justin "iGotUrPistola" Deese, part of the Triggers Down squad that had dominated the 2009 MLG circuit.

Final Boss came in as the highest-seeded team but lackluster results left Ryan with a tenth-place finish.

After this event, Ogre 2 and his teammate Pistola decided to leave Final Boss and join up with another set of gaming twins, Roy and Lunchbox, under coach Towey of Team Instinct.

Several months later, Halo 4 was released and Instinct once again competed in Dallas, Texas for a pre-release MLG tournament.

[13] In 2013, the competitive Halo scene was all but finished due to the dwindling popularity of the series and MLG pulling the franchise from their line-up.

Ogre 2 made the transition to competing in the rival game Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

[14] In 2014, Ogre 2 revived the Final Boss team name and moved on to Call of Duty: Ghosts, playing at multiple events with other former Halo pros.

In March 2014, Ogre 2 announced his retirement from competitive gaming, citing a lack of enjoyment as the primary reason.

Ryan brought back the name StK and competed at the developer-run Launch Invitational, finishing in third place.

After the success of this tournament, the Halo Championship Series (HCS) was announced, again endorsed by developer 343 Industries and hosted by Electronic Sports League.

[17][18] OGRE 2 and his teammates were picked up by League of Legends organization Counter Logic Gaming (CLG), who were making their first splash into competitive Halo.

Wins in the first couple of rounds would pair them against a more aggressive Cloud 9 and an unstoppable Evil Geniuses who were almost unbeatable during Season 2.

After MLG announced they wanted to take the reins of Halo 5 in 2015, people quickly became interested in the new game's potential.

After another unsatisfying result, Ryan decided to take a break from Halo and find other spots in the Esports world.

On August 26 Ogre 2 joined the Florida Mutineers Call of Duty team as general manager.
