Ben Jackson (born March 1988) (also known by his pseudonym Karma) is a professional gamer from Murrieta, California, United States.[1] Ben Jackson attended Murrieta Valley High School, was in the graduating class of 2006. Where he "hung out" in the rear of the school, Jackson began playing the yu-gi-oh card game around his sophomore year, and started playing halo heavily when halo 2 was announced, and the xbox360 started being advertised heavily. Jackson first attended a Halo 1 Major League Gaming tournament in Los Angeles, but performed poorly because of lack of tournament experience.[2] At the age of 17 in May 2005, Jackson became a professional Major League Gaming Halo 2 gamer. After initially participating on Team Carbon as a part time player, Jackson became a full time team member in late 2005. At the 2005 MLG National Championship in New York City, New York, Jackson became the MLG National Free-For-All (FFA) Champion in Halo 2 and would remain unbeaten throughout the 2006 MLG season leading to another title.[3]
