 With three 7th-place finishes and only one top 4 finish throughout the season, Carbon ended the season by a surprising 3rd-place finish at the National Championships.After placing 8th in the first two tournaments in 2009, Carbon decided to drop Ghostayame, who took Walshy's place in Team Instinct for Dallas.But a bad performance (Ghostayame went -53 that tournament (all matches combined)) destroyed a further cooperation with Instinct, who decided to release Ghostayame after a 3rd place in Dallas.
