This is first game tl has had that I've participated in major tournaments and travelled for(not that I was ever on top but I at least competed XD. Heading in right direction for me to some day wear a tl jersey . Just need to pick up some
Kind of ccg now. Tell me which one in advance so I can practice it please . I like what's going on it's like your coming to me instead of me coming to you .

Kidding ...

I love that tl has picked this up though, i can probably tune into halo 5 once in awhile once it comes out and root for a tl team. Can't really root against ogre 2 though ... So gonna have to figure that out.

Was this a joke or is this real? Is Halo actually an eSport?

If you have video game and stable $$ competitions scene then it is an esport.

Really cool and unexpected. I love Halo and Ninja seems like an awesome guy and player. I used to watch his stream a while ago and enjoyed it. There's a lot of good buzz for Halo 5 multiplayer so I'd have to imagine that this pickup is partly banking on Halo 5.

Maybe it's because I used to go to a lot of LANs when I was younger but the amount of people here that don't know Halo has been an esport for a really long time is mindblowing to me. I remember seeing it on cable TV at one point and thinking 'I wish people would like starcraft as much as they like halo'

I just assumed all the people who act like they didn't know it was a sport are trolling. Halo has been big with MLG for years and even MLG L.A. had Dwight Howard in attendance. And for SC2 people, Red Bull Orlando was hosted by Halo 3 pro "Walshy" who not only has been great as a host for Red Bull events, but has played Starcraft and surfs the TL forums from time to time.

Guys speaking of HALO, what is the closest playable thing to Halo on PC which is fresh ?

Halo CE is perfectly playable on PC and the mod community has created some fantastic levels. Halo 2 though is still hard to find a copy and installing on Windows 7 is kinda a bitch, it runs OK on Windows 8 though.

Was hoping something else :/

I'm fairly sure The Master Chief Collection is coming to PC at some point, hopefully this year.

That looks a long way away, isn't there anything similar that a lot of people play ?

The Thing is... Afaik there is no such thing as "console" E-Sports in europe.

There is no FCG (or it is extremly small). I have never heard of a "console" LAN or anything like this. The only reason MLG got "known" over here is because of SC2, before that I didn't know it even existed. At least in Switzerland/Germany/Austria there is also like absolutely no Arcade "culture".

It is/was basically all CS, Quake, SC/BW, WC3, SC2, Dota/Lol.

The whole "console" E-Sports sounded just strange and funny to me. It just doesn't exist (or is hiding itself extremly well) "here"...

The world is a whole lot bigger than the 10 million square kilometer-area called the United States of America. Console esports are nonexistent over here.

Great point. I thought there would have been MLG equivalent tournaments in Europe for halo. Thanks for the information.

I'm going to assume the guys above are only refuting my statement on the basis of this halo team being competitive on the console and not the PC.

Its hard to speak for "all" of europe.

I can make pretty save assumptions about the german speaking countries, outside of that its hard to tell what was going on at the time. Especially France allways felt very seperated community wise.

Not really no. I can only speak for Belgium, but any Halo esports scene or esports awareness was nonexistent, or at the very least extremely limited. Esports-awareness is still very low, not in the least bit due to a pervasive conservative mentality towards IT in general and towards gaming more specifically, both among youngsters and the older generations.

On top of that, Playstation is the more popular console over here.

On a personal level, I never found shooters to be fun to watch, whether they are played on PCs or consoles.
