Halo is their bread and butter and basically why MLG exists today.

Very good news. I'm loving MLG more & more. Hopefully the tournament format will make sense.

Great to see more money being pumped into SC2, especially in NA.

Some people in this thread need to realise that Esports isn't just SC2... other games are involved.MLG owes its huge success to Halo, and for the foreseeable future, Halo will be its main game, that SC2 so quickly is considered Halo's equal considering what Halo has done for the MLG, should be taken as a compliment.

This is nice. Very nice. This is the kind of money a pro player can live off if they are strong enough. Hopefully see some top Koreans/Europeans making the journey.

A chance at $5,000 might not be worth the travel expenses for a Korean but I'm sure some of the sponsors will still consider the overseas exposure and send some of the better players. I mean, with all due respect to the TL players, they haven't really covered their own expenses with winnings (maybe Jinro has) . It's an investment by TL, TLAF, and all the other sponsors to cover those expenses.

Can't wait to see how the nationals turn out. I like how anyone can still enter they'll just have a harder time through the brackets if they didn't attend any prior events.

I think people don't realize that GSL shells out 50k almost every month, MLG only once a year.

I think you don't realize that you can win 50k by playing StarCraft 2 for two days in MLG. If you want to win 50k in GSL you pretty much play for a month and abandon any hopes of going to play in other tournaments outside of Korea.

My biggest question now is what is the map pool going to look like? The prize money is awesome but if they dont tackle the current map pool problem its going to overshadow the whole tournament. Four terrans in all the finals kind of overshadow...

Yeah baby! I can't wait to attend some of these events. Should draw lots of great players and some big crowds! Do you think they'll also spend a few hundred bucks on some seating??

Shibby - "With 3 mainstages, the Old Spice Swagger matches, over 700 competitors, spawn across 6 major titles in the business. 5 regular stops and one grand final for the Pro Circuit. For those of you who weren't so good at maths in school, that is one major event every 2 months, bit by bit. The MLG is looking like a top seed, for this years e-sports events. The pressure is on, IEM you better not be sleeping.

Chris Puckett - "I can feel you on that one Shibby. With the increased pricepool and the overall improvements to the league, we can expect the thoughest competitors in the world, to be in this league. DMAQ, it's looking like the MLG team is on fire and will come into the 2011 season as a top contender, how do you feel about it DMAQ?"

DMAQ - "First off Puckett, I think you are absolutely right, I give you kudos for that, the MLG roster, is looking so fierce, and all the competitors, on the circuit, they can definitely do some damage. Going forward, I would be surprised, if this years, MLG, in Dallas, doesn't kick off as one of the most dominant, MLG circuits, we have ever seen, in the history, of the league . Statistically speaking Puckett, that's exactly what my prediction is gonna be. Moving forward, that is why, this year, is going to be huge, for e-sports, in the western hemisphere."

Chris Puckett - "They are stepping up. We just gotta see that, the MLG squad, does not have to fear for being on the bubble. This years circuit is gonna be really freaking sweet and I'm talking about Dallas, Raleigh, Anaheim, DC, Columbus. Get ready for the MLG bros.

DMAQ - "I gotta give you kudos for that too, Chris. But, statistically speaking, something that will be on everyones mind is ofcourse, player fatique, during the league. We've seen it happen at the DC stop; SeleCT, QXC, KawaiiRice,Socke, Tyler, HDStarcraft. And going forward Chris, with the increase in players, in that regard, will the Pro Circuit be able, to stay true, to the competition Chris?

Chris Pucket - "Only time can tell DMAQ, but on the otherside, I expect that we can bank on the MLG roster, to step up and prevent any such wildcards from being played DMAQ."

Shibby - "Alright guys, that's gonna be it for the Doritos pre pre-season season analysis, Dallas is gonna be a blast, all weekend long, starting on april firsts. From Chris Puckett, DMAQ and I'm Shibby, goodnight."


I wrote a bit in a normal style and added a little bit of this "satire". Then I realised I could put some of my points in there, so I wrote it up like this and its just meant for a laugh. If you cannot place it, it's the Halo Commentators and I tried to thicker it up a lot for extra effect ofcourse.
