League of Legends in MLG will be a disaster considering its lack of spectator mode, unbalanced gameplay and the fact that in EU and US combined theres about 5 competative teams with 5 players on each team means shipping them all out to the event will be very expensive. (Im a 1900 EU player) gameplay on summoners rift is close enough to balanced that it really doesnt deserve a spot on your list of reasons why LoL at MLG would be a disaster. the event is not gonna become a disaster because one time one team arguably gets an easier baron kill than the other team could have gotten
MLG should hire you as their LoL commentator.

MLG gets criticism for favoring popular games over competitive games. It is now Quake's chance to prove itself! For the brotherhood of esports!!
|
Ugh,, more console FPS's with autoaim and no snap movement. How boring.
Also no word on stream improvements 
|
i never really played quake but it was an absolute blast to watch it at IEM cologne. so much skill goes into that game. i'd actually watch something besides sc2 at MLG if quake makes it into the rotation.
i play LoL a lot but i find speccing it to be boring. i don't think it's that imbalanced for competitive play, though. there's a banning mode, etc, not like each team can't pick/ban some of the best champs.

Holy Damn this is huge. I've been following MLG for years and only recently come to TL. Sundance is the man amazing guy, always gives sick interviews. But wow this is huge for MLG. They haven't done anything like this before and 3 title games!
And even a possibility of LoL!!
|
tbh i would love to see LoL at MLG, the ½ a year i played it i always hoped it will get and E-sport scene. Quake ofc because it's awesome
CS is sad, but i didn't exspect it, shame still
|
And btw for Black Ops it has competitive settings, such as banned perks and certain gun attachments and no kill streaks. Also it is on the Ps3 due to Sony sponsoring the event and from what I've read are putting a lot of money into it.
|
They should have a turbo mode for LoL. Like 2 or 3x speed. That might be fun to watch.

They already announced 720p for 2011 during Lee's SotG appearance.

CoD BO isn't nearly as much fun to watch as MW2 in my opinion. Black Ops just has silly out of nowhere deaths due to RCxD and silly grenade mechanics, but at least MLG is getting some loot for it.
As long as SC2 is the main attraction MLG will do awesome.
Not sure what you're talking about as air support has never been allowed in MLG and grenades have been banned several times through CoD's existence.
Thanks for this interview by the way. A lot of great info for an advocate and ex-MLG admin.

Glad this was re posted. Being a part of vVv we get to bring to the public some more or less exclusive information and sneak peeks of what is going on. I encourage everyone to listen to the losers bracket as they have MLG reps on the show and the CEO (Sundance) quite often.
I am glad Raleigh is confirmed. I am hoping the other locations finally get announced soon. I am hoping that SC2 continues to grow and from everything I have heard it seems as though it will be.

they should team up with Microsoft and bring back halo 2 competitive, cause halo: reach is meh. And they can't really bring back CS, because the market for it is slowly dying in the US. There needs to be one dominant DotA game and SC2, and they would be fine.

Thanks for the interview vVv - appreciate it! Awesome to see Sony chucking it $$$ for CoD BO even if i don't think it's that awesome of a game haha..
More $ for starcraft 2 is needed i think.. $6k just isn't that appealing. Any mention on specific prize pools?
|
glad to see brawl gone. that game has no place in e-sports and high level prize competition. the massive imbalance between characters is so ridiculous that players end up splitting all of the prize money anyway.
with such an imbalance, it leads to things such as what happened to mew2king and adhd, and it can't ever be fixed and stuff like that would just keep happening. i love brawl but im glad MLG grew a brain and got rid of it, though i bet it had more to do with the obvious lack of support from nintendo.

Why is he so against CounterStrike? Is it really just because of the graphics like one of the interviewers said?

tbh it wouldn't suprise me, MLG talked about how eventough Brood War was so amazing the visual was a big turn off to get sponsors and new viewers, sucks really but when you think about it i can't really blame them. Sponsors want big shiny pretty visual games that gets alot of viewers outside of the hardcore
i don't agree with it, but that's how it is sadly
