Please have some respect for the players, teams, and tournament.
Criticism is fine, criticism without anything to back it up isn't so cool.
Thanks! |
thought this was mirror match

It means the Cuse lost... T.T wp by Ohio State though, cuse was just not up to the task.

Really, why do people want to go back to MLG pre Koreans attending days?
Rget were boring as **** and had on average worse games. The fact that the only highlights people remember from those were Huk trolling speaks about how bad the games were.

Yes they do because, shockingly, some people have different tastes in music and other arts than others. Pretty weird, I know. That's why MLG should go with a sort of music that is generally more acceptable. Pretty much everyone like alternative and rock. Dubstep however, is annoying to some. thats why they also have their uninspired guitar riffs, because everyone loves those, right? That's not the point I'm trying to make, my poin is that they should go with something more generally popular. Alternative, or soft rock.
doesnt matter what's more popular if they have to pay royalty.

Why does grubby get so much stream time? He doesn't. 2 games is a lot? But if he did get more... uuh because he's Grubby with a huge fanbase?
Also there arent exactly a ton of games left to show and this is probably going to be a good one.

not sure where he said that, but in his TL interview from this event he said he always plays at least 3 hours, usually more.

Polt 1-0 vs. Ostojiy. It's on stream and says 0-0 or am I lagging? Oh? I was going on Polt's match history. He just won a game on MLG Antiga.
How long was it? They are playing on A1 on Antiga right now and it says 0-0
They might be doing a regame and Ostojiy left first

Well it was also the biggest team in Halo against a team people have been hyping to win this event putting on 5 close games so at the end the crowd was going to go nuts. That too, Instinct has a ton of fans. But I think the crowd would've gone nuts regardless of it being Instinct or not. Haven't watched Halo in a while (yeah Reach does suck) but that sounds insane. Especially been disconnected to it cause I haven't really paid attention since the H3 days. Still a big fan of pistola though (have been since before he broke out with TD in H3). Hope he does well. If Reach dies after this MLG season I hope they'll pick up Halo 4 anyway, from what I've heard from my friends in the scene 343 has done good things with Reach (allowing removal of bloom, etc.) so I think they could do an even better job with it than Bungie. Yeah I've been pulled away from SC2 for a bit to watch the series so that says something. But if the Halo crowd keeps this up it'll start rivaling the SC2 crowd in intensity and it won't be dropped until 4 comes out. I just hope H4 is like the originals, not Reach. What changed in Halo: Reach? I don't know anything about it, but I find it hard to believe a console FPS game can change all that much. Bloom, equipment, no BR, etc. Not to mention the maps Bungie made were pretty bad. It just wasnt fun at all. It was boring, especially the maps. What's Bloom?  In FPS games you have the target built in, well with bloom there is a circle that expands when you move or shoot, meaning your accuracy goes down. So if you shoot you have to wait for your circle to get small again to shoot or you'll miss. Works in Shadowrun, but not Halo. That's not bloom, that's a dynamic crosshair... and that's in every FPS game that's good, other than Quake. Bloom is with the graphics, it created a little outer flow around models that softens the outside. Only with Halo it was set up in such a way that if you ignored bloom and just shot as fast as you could you could win against the player who was theoretically shooting right. Not to mention that the randomness made the shooting feel bad, like you should have hit someone and that didn't happen. It reminded me a lot of shooter-RPGs that have dice rolls for accuracy, only you don't want that with Halo. MLG settings now have bloom turned off (one of the things 343 did right), so we'll see. Still haven't returned to it though. old halo 1 map DLC replacing shitty Reach maps help too.
Pretty sure that magnetic targetting carried over from H3 IIRC. That was one of the dumbest things they ever put in the game. Completely crippling game-skill.

Rofl, you people complaining about dubstep must be like 50 years old.
And don't act like you are too cultured for dubstep because I guarantee you would think most classical music and jazz is just noise as well, let alone serial or panchromatic music.
I'm not saying that dubstep is comparable to Stravinsky or anything but open your mind. Music isn't supposed to just sound pleasing, some of it is supposed to be challenging and some of it is supposed to be aggressive. Dubstep is supposed to be aggressive. It is like the metal of electronic music.

So I wasn't able to watch a lot of the games, which VODs should I watch?

Exactly, and even if it was true, he better get his ass to practicing more because he sure isn't the best player in the world..

They're playing this dubstep because the producers are paying them for it? is that what you're saying?

Stephano just stated in the interview at this MLG with Hot_Bid he practices 3-5 hours a day, not sure where this 2 hours a day number came from, perhaps that was from awhile ago.

(okay sorry for being a cynic but I've had a bad day) People want to see the best games. If you don't allow koreans your admitting foreigners suck and we get shitty games. He does have a point about the well funded point. We will probably never see a Zenex player, and unlikely see a NSHoseo player at the National Championships because these teams are not as well funded, and thus will not send their players overseas unless it is an all-expense paid trip like Arena. For example, Puma, JYP, Hero, Zenio, MC, aLive can go to many foreign tournaments because their teams take very good care of them, but what about players who are on poorer Korean teams? Maybe I'm being idealistic, but I'd love players on smaller teams (foreigner and Korean) to get some more opportunities. They can qualify through the Arenas MLG pays for those players.
True, and I'm glad that MLG decided to do that.
