Don't forget Quake 3, and Quake Live which will should be out of beta and have a media push extremely soon (according to what Carmack was saying at QuakeCon it should have already happened I thought) I played a lot of competitive CS and Q3 growing up

MLG actually hosts WoW Arena competitions with every halo3/gears/etc event so they already have all the necessary equipment to host a pc gaming tournament.

JP I think I have a mancrush on you Buddy~
I can see SC2 potentially being pretty cool as a main stage draw at MLG events, however I'm not sure if the typical HALO 3 BROm CONSOLE FPS IS STR8 RIPPIN' fans will be able to adapt to it, but then again from checking out streams SC2 is easy on the eyes and isn't hard to pick up from a viewer perspective so who knows.

Aw yes, quake is definitely up there with the other 2, It is the top computer 1x1 shooter game... Personally i love watching cs 100x more, maybe thats because I have always been more of a cs player than quake, but also i think theres just a lot more strategy, and strategy/teamwork are the things i look for most in competitions.
Also for what i was saying, HL was built of the quake 2 engine, and CS is a HL MOD, so that makes quake and cs some how interconnected which explains why quake is succesful even though it doesn't have the letters sc in its initials, but because it was used to make a game with those initials it must have everything that makes a good game.

LOL, I like your logic  Yeah Quake is good for 1v1 but I agree with you strategy is also extremely fun to watch. Q3 has that too though with CTF. The spectated/broadcasted matches at QuakeCon were extremely fun to watch when they go down to the wire.

Didn't know there was competitve CTF for Q3 v-v. I would just watch the pro 1v1s @ big international tournies i followed for cs anyway. I loved playing CTF and CTF instagib for UT... Any competition still go on for that?

The spectator sport part happens each year in Dallas at QuakeCon. I watched team EG versus I can't remember who, anyway the pros are all out in force at QuakeCon for sure.
