And if its going to be like that for SC2 I really don't want them to enter the scene.. I guess they really can't do it like that in SC2 though because they don't have the same monopoly they had in Halo. edit: http://www.mlgpro.com/content/page/116416/MLG-Naming-Rules-Clarification this alone is pretty fucking harsh imo.. it reaches the same level of nazism KeSPA does, why interfere with things that wont hurt them in anyway? Why does it matter if a team is called "Team Pandemic" for example or "Evil Gamers" or something.. http://www.cinemablend.com/games/MLG-Turns-Pro-Gaming-Into-Backstabbing-Travesty-14817.html Does this mean MLG has this kind of control over the Halo 3 teams? Lol thats terrible whattf. | ||

[B] http://www.cinemablend.com/games/MLG-Turns-Pro-Gaming-Into-Backstabbing-Travesty-14817.html Does this mean MLG has this kind of control over the Halo 3 teams? Lol thats terrible whattf. qft Thats pretty horrible but expected from any type of "big" company that has a chance to dominate a new market. If money first, players second is their underlying motto then I dunno if I want them to start off the SC2 competitive scene for NA and leave a bad taste in the mouths of its gamers. Oops I can't say "Gamers".. | ||

Lol thats terrible whattf. I think you have put down some good words here mate. The problem here is that every fucker is going to be trying to get a piece of SC2 ESPORTS bucks. If the better folks can really compete with the draconian fuckers, then we've got ourselves a situation the market's going to solve. If there isn't a lot of interest and there are only a few parties who are fronting prize money, then we've just gotta go with what works or abandon ESPORTS altogether. Now I want the SC2 scene to be competitive enough that nobody gets a KeSPA style hold over it, but now is early. I think that supporting the pro scene just by making the game competitive in the first few weeks is a good thing, whether or not the folks doing it are the idea human beings. So, as ESPORTS as a whole goes, I have always felt that MLG is misguided. Not only that, but they have policies, which you have pointed out, that are infuriating and are stunting the growth of ESPORTS (the more sponsors that can get in on the action the better, right?). In the short term, very very short term, depending on how things end up unfolding, MLG can still be a good thing, getting people to practice and play. In the longer term, they will need to change or they will be a very bad thing. That's how I see it. EDIT: Fuck, I don't blame you, JP, for the problems with the VOD. Your higher ups can be fucked by an ultralisk as far as I'm concerned though. We all waited hours for nothing. I hope to see some creative bullshit excuse for why MLG couldn't make public a few youtube videos. I also hope that the scene for SC2 ends up being so cool that MLG fucks can't make a single dollar from it. /rage | ||

Also, those articles on the MLG don't exactly paint them in the best light either. | ||

I've watched those US-Game Leagues and it was pretty weird: - They played games that are just being played in the US (CS:Source, PGR and stuff like that), compared to SC, CS 1.6 etc., those games are unsignificant in the overall professional gaming-world. It looked kinda shady to me, because the level those players where playing on, was just not that high as in other games, so it felt like: Okay, we make a League and push some noob's with sponsoring and because they don't have the slightest chance against ppl from all over the world (I don't say American Gamers are worse than gamers from anywhere around the world, just that those particular players were), we just play games nobody else plays! - It is nice to see that ppl are willing to promote ProGaming as a serious Sport, but the way this "Show" did, was just hilarious: With Cheerleaders and overenthusiastic Commentators that commentate 5 different games but don't really know any of those. That stuff doesn't fit for gaming as of yet. It's about realizing that playing those games requires a lot of dedication and skill and to really concentrate on the Game, rather than to wanna appear to too much ppl by distracting from the fact that it's gaming, becuase everyone was so afraid to make a show about gaming, because it's for Nerds and stuff. -.-° Pretty embarrassing IMO... ^^' I just wondered because this youtube-channel totally reminded me of this Gaming-League... | ||
