There were more stations, and more gamers for halo. that is hard to deny. however when it came to spectators, I'm fairly sure that we were the "star" of the show. every fre hours you would hear a massive cheer from the Halo Crowd. from us you;d get one every time a match started or ended. applause at awesome stuff. to quote the stream "Ah, Starcraft 2, the only eSPort where you'll get a massive cheer when a drone kills a probe". EDIT: do they do DC every year? | ||

EDIT: do they do DC every year? This has been gone over countless times in this thread.. Halo is their flagship game. They've bought that equipment for halo 3 quite awhile ago. Also the # of competitors that attended for Halo 3 and Halo Reach is pretty ridiculous compared to the number of people that SC2 had. Sure we only had 64 tickets, but I mean according to DC stream about 1000 people showed up for reach, and Halo 3 always fills out the full 1024 players. Obviously they are going to have way more stations.. From what I've come to understand over the weekend.. MLG posted in this thread how they only have 4 big trucks that go from event to event. They barely barely squeeze ALL of the stuff you saw in to these trucks. These events are budgeted and planned a LONG time in advance according to DJ Wheat on the state of the game podcast last night... Also.. they did NOT know how Starcraft 2 would take off. The other thing is, the sponsors are all on board with Halo(the sponsors have seen the numbers, know that it's been successful for them, etc), they need to show these numbers to the sponsors, and get some money for Starcraft 2(for all sorts of things, I'm hoping next season there are 2 sound proof booths for the premier match of the round and the big matches like Winners finals, losers finals, championship match), stadium seating like Halo has, hopefully 3 big screens like Halo has (1 for each player's first person view, and then a center screen for the observer's view). I'm sure that the stream views are huge on SC2, but Idk if they need us to have 1000 people show up to play, it's hard for me to imagine that happening personally since I mean, I know I don't have a chance in the tournament, and I can't really afford to travel to the East coast.. and Halo pretty much ruined any chance of the west coast having events(low attendance in the past) I'm sure they thought Starcraft 2 would do well, but they couldn't really just say, let's dump a million dollars in to the production and hope that it works out like GOM could.. GOM had previous experience with brood war, as well as backing from blizzard.. MLG kind of had to flip a coin. Now that Starcraft 2 is taking off, if we keep supporting MLG, they will improve everything.. If we just don't watch or don't go, then MLG will drop the game, that's how it works. Overall I thought MLG DC was an improvement, and a success, but the streaming delays on Friday I thought sucked, they should have been testing that stream earlier that day and made sure it was working. Also, winners finals, losers finals and championship match need to be best of 5 imo. | ||

I can assure you that there are no Halo forums filled with immature banter re: Starcraft. Read into that what you may.... | ||

I like the guy who said "First" when he had the fifth comment.

We Starcraft gamers freak out over the slightest BM and they have it every single game. You're being a total douchebag too. Just because someone prefers to play games on a console doesn't mean that you should put them down. I mean, I play console FPS games like Halo, because I have trouble using a mouse and keyboard to play. That doesn't mean I suck, and it doesn't mean I'm a fag. And people on every game are BM. Halo players aren't BM because they're fags who play consoles, it's because they're people. People are douchebags. SCII has a lot of BM on it as well. Because people play it. | ||

Just like any FPS, it's cool to see a frag collection here and but a match as a spectator may it be halo cs or quake always looked soooooo bad to me. You are never able to both see what is very skilled and the overall game, I mean spectator view show the overall thing in a fps match-up but you can't see how good a player is and it is kinda sucky to watch compared to player pov, and point of view cam is the other way around : you don't know shit about what is happening. And I enjoy playing those game though. And in my opinion console controls make point of view very clumsy compared to what we were used with UT, Quake and CS. But well you need everything to make a world I guess. P.S : and i'm not even speaking of WoW which is even far worst as a spectator point of view. | ||
