I was thinking of going to a DC event next year too. I am a little disappointed with the line up changes to be honest, but I guess Competitive Gaming is changing. It will be weird to see a big event without Counter Strike, but if they pick up Quake I cannot complain. Blackops and LOL is odd though. Neither games are built for Competitive play (don't wanna make fun of either game (LOL JK Blackops is lame)). I will support MLG either way and I think it is a good business move picking up really popular games, even if Competitive play isn't their focus. Lets hope Gaming keeps on growing wether it be Black Ops or LoL or Starcraft 2, even though i'm Confident Starcraft 2 will be their biggest game on the circuit. GL MLG. Hope 2011 is even better then 2010. | ||

I played the game for years, its dead, the community will never be larger than it is today, and the logistics of teams of 5 taking up the computers non stop just won't work, not to mention they'd need to find commentators/camera men who know how to spectate CS, which is a lot harder than it sounds. It wont happen. Quake makes sense, there two guys, the community exists and camera work is easy. On December 24 2010 03:09 ExoFun wrote: Please CSS support it. Awful game, not a great spectator game to watch either, considering graphics are between COD and 1.6, and gameplay as well. Its the middle child that'll never get attention that it largely does'nt deserve either. On December 24 2010 03:03 Never_Never_V_ wrote: No CS. No SF. Quake Live MAYBE (If Bethesda throws enough cash to promote Rage). There is no way to take this as anything more than an overhyped Ad-fest, E3 with prizes. If this is eSports, then I am no fan of it. CS, well I've addressed that. SF, Capcom won't help them out, otherwise they would have put it in over Tekken last year, its unfortunate but its not MLG's fault, and your second sentence is just an utter pile of crap if you've paid attention to esports whatsoever, so I guess you're not a fan. | ||

Thats not how it works, otherwise BW, Halo 1, and Quake/1.6 would be there instead of SC2, Reach, etc. Don't be ignorant, this is how esports works. On December 24 2010 03:32 zoLo wrote: the SSF4 community doesn't want their game to be at MLG because of past problems. That is so far from the truth, the community wants their game to get big and make money so people can make a living off of it, MLG's not adding it because of issues with Capcom not the community. On December 24 2010 06:15 Liquid`Tyler wrote: 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 + Show Spoiler [nvm i guess i got trolled here] + Maybe you quoted something that was editted out but this is one of the most off topic/irrelevant/oddly misinformed posts I've ever read lol. Gameplay isn't very balanced in general compared to HoN or DotA, nor does it take nearly as much skill, also it looks like utter crap compared to HoN and DotA so that can't really be used as an argument. There aren't as many competitive teams around, spectator mode doesn't exist when it does in HoN and DotA, there are already professional sponsored teams that exist for HoN/DotA, etc. I don't see how the Baron argument matters, its the same setup as every dota game in the past where the roshan-super monster type of guy is located along the river, nobody has ever complained that the positioning of it was imbalanced, if they did they're pretty damn stupid as well. There are many reasons that LoL wouldn't work, but yeah map imbalance would play none of that, gameplay imbalance might but I don't think MLG cares about gameplaly imbalances (We ARE talking about the people who put on SSBB and Black Ops among other games). The game itself just isn't ideal in my opinion, if they put one in I hope they wait until Dota 2 comes out since thats made properly by icefrog, if not they talk to S2 games and hook up HoN because that is currently the most competitive. PS: I'm gonna be pretty sad if they don't come back to DC =\ guess I won't be able to make it to any MLG's this upcoming year otherwise. | ||

Not sure why but I guess to me they feel like something that only big sports and big events in general get(or highly specialised by and auto maker e.g.). Sure there is the Lexus or KIA or whatever it is that you sometimes see on monitors in the background at GSL(in breaks between games you can see the screens behind tastosis) but sure would be nice to have sponsors like that outside Korea. Intel/MSI sponsors? So we can get more computers on the circuit? Plz! :} | ||
