The Old Spice Swagger Series has once again come to a close, this time after crowning a winner in the Halo 3 Summer 2009 Season! The regular season ran from July throughout September with over 8,000 teams registered to compete for the grand prize. After the season, the top 64 ranked teams were seeded into a single-elimination win-or-go-home tournament. Thanks to our friends at Old Spice, a $3,000 grand prize was up for grabs. Finally, a winner has been crowned! GameBattles would like to congratulate the #10 seed Dynasty on their Summer 2009 Halo 3 Championship!

Dynasty finished the regular season undefeated with 24 wins, and was ranked 17th overall. Due to inactivity among higher ranked teams, Dynasty was awarded the #10 overall seed in the playoff tournament. They made quick work of their first two opponents, #55 Ghosts of Peredition and #23 Chokers, by shutting them out with 3-0 victories. It was #7 XPosure that ended the shutout streak -- but not the win streak. Dynasty defeated XPosure 3-1 before repeating the same feat against the #2 ranked Gimme My Money.

In the semi-finals, #6 Believe the Hype took Dynasty to the 5th map and almost earned themselves a spot in the championship. However, Dynasty was able to pull out the win when it mattered most, and earned themselves a date with #1 ranked Nothing Personal. With the championship on the line, the two teams put on another 5-map show. When the dust settled, it was Dynasty that remained standing.

Thanks to Old Spice, Dynasty will take home more than just bragging rights and a Summer 2009 Championship -- $3,000 more! GameBattles would like to thank everyone who competed site-wide throughout the Summer 2009 Season, and invites you all to join us for the Fall 2009 Season! Once again congratulations to team Dynasty, the Halo 3 Summer 2009 Champions!
