Also, once LoL gets a stage we can't let them steal our center stage. | ||

It should be replaced with something better, or just use the prize money from that on SC2. But prize money is not proportionnal to the amount of skills required. It is proportionnal to the amount of viewers, and I'm sure that you know that but I guess that you had a trolling urge  | ||

I never wanted to rain on that parade, and this is bound to breed bad blood between the two fanbases :/ Why ? Starcraft 2 is just a bigger game. Its just logical that the biggest game gets to have the biggest stage. Should 300 Halo spectators have a room thats big enough for 3000, while the 3000 starcraft spectators sit in a cramped spacing ? But just because I'm curious, anyone read on any Halo related boards regarding this ? | ||

Sc2 is clearly the bigger game, but when I was at MLG columbus, its not like there was nobody there at the halo section. They were out of chairs too, and I think they had more chairs than we did. Both are pretty big titles, I feel like we should both have all the space we need. And the whole "who's in the middle" thing is just a silly pissing contest. They should put blops in the middle just so the two huge crowds have some space in between them  | ||

Another thing to note about MLG halo players, most of us play SC BECAUSE of MLG. I know that I personally wouldn't play it or follow it at all if it hadn't been picked up by MLG. In this sense, Halo has directly increased the SC following. Also, as far as individual skill is concerned, SC blows away Halo, but don't underestimate the skill of, or the teamwork required to play Halo at a competitive level. | ||

And to be quite honest, kudos to large parts of the Halo community. Know that while this thread might not reflect it, we know that the SC2 fans that now get to see our game take the centre stage have a lot to thank Halo for. Without Halo, there is every reason to believe that we would not be seeing HuK v NaniWa v DRG, BoxeR v IdrA and all the awesomeness that looks to be coming up. I feel sad and commiserate with the Halo community. It is hard for a player and fanbase to go through what they have been going through. So I will say this. Let us be happy for Starcraft. Let us be sad for Halo. Let us be excited for MLG Anaheim. This is really nice news for us. We should be able to enjoy that without pissing on others. And we should realise that one of the things that Starcraft has is a fanbase that is super energetic, super excited and super positive at just about every event I have seen. I just wish that we could retain that positivity when it comes to announcements such as this. There is no reason to talk smack about other games, especially when they are hurting. For everyone's sake, it would be better for Halo to be as popular with the live crowd and with stream watchers as Starcraft. And whereas I do not personally have much interest in viewing the Halo games, I do wish them all the success in the world. <3 | ||
