[edit] History
Str8 Rippin was formed for the 2005 MLG Season. The players were acquired by British club Trademark Gamers by MLG Las Vegas 2005, but the team transferred back to Str8 Rippin for the 2006 MLG Season. In July 2006, after a disappointing 7th place finish at MLG Chicago, Defy filed for free agency in order to get back together with his former teammates, Mack and Vash with whom he claimed to have better chemistry [8]. Str8 Rippin replaced Defy by acquiring Cpt. Anarchy from Team Ex.[9] At the end of the season however, Cpt. Anarchy was released from the team.
