Team history:

Mean Machines was a semi-professional Halo 3, Halo Reach and Halo 4 team that competes on European Gaming League, Reflex GT, Mega Lan, Xbox Live Forum, Xboxdynasty, Halo e-sports, SpielQuadrat, German Halo Tournaments and on CSL/ESL.

Mean Machines began its road to succes by dominating online tournaments in German-speaking area.
The team was formed at the Meegaa Lan VI event in Essen August 2009 founded by Jobst, Ebi, D4rki and Daywalker.
Before that, mean Machines members had competed at other CSL/ESL tournaments, Mega Lan, World Cyber Games and German national events on Gamescom/Games Convention for other teams, such as aiZ, HD, VISA and NoB.

The team concept was simple: you need a balance between people who can coordinate the team well and people who have the skill to win battles even in the most critical moment. So the team would often consist of someone who understood the tactics very well and was able to play very well objectively. There was always some Players who had a really good sniper. In order to dominate the game, each very accurate and smart callouts must speak and everyone must understand it. This was an important point in the team. The team always consisted of friends. If you do not have good relationship in the team, then you need not even begin to play.
The team was often nominated in the years 2011, 2012 and 2013 for the top 4 in Europe. But the team were only seventh on the offline events.

After Mega lan VI the team collaps often till 2011.
Team members had competed at other events/tournaments as affen im zoo, 4 Reasons to Choke, be Ready, prediction Gaming, n!faculty, deutsche zocker schinken and apeX eSports.
Most of the members are considered to be one of the best german-speaking gamer in history.
Mean Machines thought to be one of the top two German speaking teams in 2010 till 2012. In 2013 the team was undefeated (Online). Meanwhile, the team played a tournament, the team broke up briefly before the final.
The team collapsed for the last time in June 2013 because it was bought by Soldiers of Honor, which also broke up a month later. In 2013 Halo 3 was free and there were some tournaments, the team participated in a familiar roster.
