" I think it may be because CounterStrike's popularity slowly shrunk, and the market expanded to games such as World of Warcraft. "

lol.. world of warcraft is not a esports game.. you cant compare world of warcraft with Counter.Strike, the esports game number one with Starcraft! Counter.Strike should be in MLG and not LoL, it is the legendary game of esports since 12 years ago, and FPS games should be played on PC not console!


May be a stupid question from someone who knows little to nothing about CS but what's wrong with updating the graphics and modernising it (with the same controls because that's what makes it difficult?) and then putting it back on the market and getting more people into the game?


well no that's a silly idea. "updating" CS graphics is not gonna work. CS is CS, if you change any part of it it's not CS anymore and BTW the game engine is way to old to improve the graphic aspect of the game in a good way. CS is a great esport game but if they wanna do a new one, better do it on a new game engine. And btw, i agree with the first comment. FPS should be played on PC (at least at the pro level), not on a f*ing console. And stop that call of duty crap and bring us some cool new esport fps (not based on a f*ing stupid real war)

Great interview, and thanks to Milkis for the translation (and Sundance for the further clarification, haha).

I loved MLG Columbus, and if MLG continues to put on events like it I can only see them growing more and more. If there was an MLG anywhere in Ontario, Canada, I would definitely drop everything and sleep on the streets if I needed to to go to it =D Especially with the great player exchange going on between GOM and MLG. I tend not to follow the foreign scene too much because I think the quality of play is higher in the GSL, but if MLG's got the top players, well.. there's no excuse not to watch =D

I'm definitely very excited to see what announcements come out of all this teasing!

This is great. I was hoping after the success of LoL at Dreamhack we'd see it at MLG and a month later here's exactly the announcement I was waiting for.

The expansion into South America is exciting too. I can't think of any well-known progamers from that region besides Fenix. I'm hoping there's some undiscovered talent down there.

Sundance seriously is doing good things with MLG, it's actually a pretty respected tournament now for a lot of people that used to dislike them. They need to keep it up and keep improving at this rate. Sadly the popularity of LoL is way above it's competitive viability, but hopefully they can transition it straight into dota 2.

I like Sundance, he seems to have a good brain. He cares about the scene and doesn't look at Esports purely as a way to increase profits.
But yeah being a Korean gamer is very imba. If you're a non-korean gamer you have to balance your game playing with earning money and your real life. If you're Korean you just sit around playing games all day eating 2 cent ramyun and becoming gosu.

▼ How do you decide which players to invite? And are there any players you specially want to invite?
- Even if they're not Code S, we want players that have talents in many areas. Especially though, we hope that the previous winner of the tournament comes back for sure. And I hope that NesTea comes very soon.
lol everyone is a nestea fanboy!!!!! ^_^

▼ In the GSL, Korean Pop Idols have introduced the players, and in the NASL Grand Finals that went on recently, there was a female model that ran the interviews. What do you think of these attempts?
- MLG's casts are already made of individuals famous overseas such as Tasteless and Artosis. In the case of female cast members, I think what's important is to have people who know a lot about the game to increase the quality of production. You have to think of it within that scope of not damaging the production. I think NASL lacked the professional experience to a certain extent in that regard.

NEED MOAR JULIE ALEXANDRIA.

I actually friggin love both MLG and Sundance. They had a shit ton of problems, pulled through and held the best lan in NA. Keep it up guys, awesome interview.

Such a great interview, Sundance really wants to get invested with the SC2 community and put out the best competition for all of us, NASL can learn a thing or two from MLG.
