I really don't understand what they're getting at. When has a SC2 player ever denied being a nerd? We know we're nerds and we're proud of it. Look at examples like the Handsome Nerd.com run by Tasteless and Artosis. We don't try to hide it. Secondly, why would they hate on us because our game is harder and more demanding of our time? Most SC2 pros can't be involved in anything serious outside of the game because you need to practice 8-10 hours to be elite. To me they are just hating because SC2 players are FAR MORE popular and make more money. It is simple as that. No need to be jealous.

I was amused

Halo is a joke as an "Esport" anyways The real fps skill is with CS.


This and Quake. The fact of the matter is the fact that they claim theyre game is for casuals. Answers all the questions about why it doesnt or hasnt workedas an esport. Maybe it does have the potential and the wrong kind of people play it, which would make these guys not so bad.

Also they didnt really talk any shit about SC2 tbh.

I think a lot of it has to with the fact PC gamers in general do not like Console shooters.

And Starcraft's demographic are mostly PC gamers.

It's very difficult for PC gamers to respect a console shooter, when they have aim assist and the general slowness compared to PC shooters.

This causes a lot of tension. I'm perfectly fine with not supporting Halo tho. It's not interesting to watch, and while it requires skill, there are other games out there with higher skill ceilings. Quake and CS or any fighting game, although they have EVO, are way more interesting than halo. Or COD:MW for that matter.

I think it was pretty obvious they were joking. When one of them could easily list the 4 pros that were interviewed during some meeting at IEM it made it pretty obvious he respects/pays attention to SC2. They were even saying that SC2 is a much harder game.

Listening now. Man. People are making a big deal out of nothing. All they said was that sc players are nerdier than halo players. This is probably accurate, and who cares, because there's nothing wrong it. It means SC players are passionate about their game. That's cool.

Don't worry. Most of the Halo community thinks Gandhi, Dmaq, and Nexy are fools too. Bunch of old buddies from when MLG was building itself on Halo who got jobs with the company as it was growing.
Have a nice day.

Wait, these guys work for MLG?
Oh man.... I dont think we'll be seeing them next season at the MLG Pro Circut casting.
I play both Halo and SC2, switch inbetween those two streams when there is downtime in sc2

What the fuck. Most of these comments are just so ignorant and fucking stupid, I can't believe they even had the nerve to say live and also post up the video on youtube.

I realize that a few sour apples don't represent a few communities, but I think that this will really start some tension between both communities ._.

I've come to Starcraft from a background in the halo community. The actual way I discovered starcraft 2 was watching MLG for Halo and expanding my interests to watch the Starcraft Stream. I have been to MLG's competing for halo a under Team Xcessive...Some diehard halo fans might remember us... I'm now fighting to get my way into masters and watch MLG's for Starcraft instead of Halo.

What I have to say is that you cannot judge what Ghandi and the other guys have to say as "Our relationship with other games". This opinion does not reflect the halo community as a whole because the halo community does not have website like Teamliquid that conveys the opinions of the games community. During the whole course of me being a competitive halo player the only 'Halo community' that existed were a few people on the MLG forums who would complain about their team being bad.

Ghandi and these guys, while being somewhat known among halo players, don't voice opinions of halo players as a whole in the slightest.

Anything can be accomplished through sheer discipline.

I can't believe you are taking this much offense to what they said. It's like if a SC figure jokingly called Halo players frat boys (and I'm pretty sure something along these lines has been said in at least one SOTG). It's not serious, it's not a big deal, stop flipping out.

I don't care what other people think about other games or starcraft 2, nor do I care what they think about what -I- think about games in general.

Come on, who cares what a buncha halo kids think of SC2, they jelly bro.

All the starcraft2 community has to do is not be ignorant self righteous dicks towards other games. You dont have to "help them out", tbh that even sounds quite patronising. Just dont be an elitist dick.

Also theyr right. Starcraft guys are nerdy as hell. They never said that was bad. Its true.

as Gamers and members of e-sport community we shouldn't support all other games for the sake of e-sport, if a game is bad - halo (opinion)- i am not willing to help it out if i consider it to be cancer for e-sport. we need to support good games, that are based on competitive gameplay.

I think these halo players confuse e-entertainement(games for fun ex.skyrim/amnesia etc.) and e-sports(has to be comptetitive and based on gameplay and skill ex.BW, sc2, cs 1.6)

some games are in between right now, halo, COD, hon/dota/LoL. they have a competitive scene but they require minimal investment and dedication to be pro. the skill cap you can reach with analogs controller is very limited same goes with a 5 abilities based game like dota.

If there is a bigger scene for sc2 its because it is much more entertaining to watch due to the immensity of gaming skills that is recognizable when watching. playing dota and halo is quite fun. but i wouldnt pay to watch someone else play.


edit : wtf no style? TLO !

FPS' are great, it's just that among competitive FPS, Halo is the least respectable. Nothing against Halo, though, it was the Goldeneye of the next gaming generation and people have strong affection for it.

do you care if random idiot X says esports isn't possible or something stupid like that too? No? Same thing here IMO

Ignore the haters.
