Carolina Core

Carolina Core
Founded	2007
History	Carolina Core 2007 - 2008
City	Charlotte, North Carolina
Colors	Black and Gold
General Manager	Mark Dolven
Franchise Player	Ryan "Offbeat Ninja" Ward

The Carolina Core is a professional gaming team based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The team was one of the six original franchises playing in the Region 1 of the Championship Gaming Series.

Franchise history

The Beginning - 2007

The Carolina Core had the last pick going into the first ever CGS draft. Mark Dolven, the General Manager, picked Ryan "Offbeat Ninja" Ward directly followed by Joe "Phantom" Tackett.

In the first season of play, the Carolina Core advanced to the playoffs, and to the Region 1 Championship game. The Core fell to the Chicago Chimera in the final game of Region 1 by a score of 22-21. Because of their second place finish, the Core advanced to the World Championship and went to the World Final. They lost to the Chicago Chimera, 27 to 15.

Dolven's first pick, Ryan Ward, was the best Dead or Alive 4 male player throughout season one, having a record of eleven wins to only one loss.

The Second Season - 2008

The Carolina Core picked up a few recruits going into season two of CGS Competition, including Eric "General E Live" Earley, playing FORZA, and Andrew "Anomaly" Brock, playing FIFA 08.

In the second season of play, the Carolina Core advanced to the playoffs for the second year in a row. They made it to the Region 1 Championship game against the Dallas Venom. The Core had the advantage through most of the game until Dead or Alive 4: Female team member, Katherine "Mystik" Gunn lost control of a 4-2 lead, losing 4-5. Then in Counter-Strike, the Venom rallied back, leading 9-3 at the half way mark. The battle went to the very last 2 men. The score was tied 20-20 and the Core was victorious, winning 21-20. They advanced to the World Final and won their first match against the Wuhan Dragon, 29-12.
