Question. Is it only NA players playing FPS games (COD, Halo) at MLG too?

If not only NA then why only NA for SC2


I honestly don't think there has ever been a non-North American Halo/COD team at an MLG (correct me if I'm wrong because I don't actually watch those games)

I'm pretty sure only the online event is NA only. The championship in Anaheim will have an Open Bracket.

The NA invitational isn't the offline event.

If MLG were to "abandon" SC2 again, would that be worse for you than them not coming back for a tournament or two at all? I mean people love Iron Squid to hell but they "only" had two tournaments before deciding that it didn't bring in the money necessary. MLG has hosted significantly more than two. I don't get the toxicity about them. Tournaments > no tournaments, right?


if people are going to direct their hatred somewhere, point it at blizzard and the WCS for crippling the tournament scene. they essentially put restrictions on all of the tournament organizers that discouraged competition against the WCS. MLG is in the business of making money, fuck them right?


So why did Dreamhack succeed?

Its going to be fun watching Destiny try to hype the Avilo vs. Maximums black final. I guess HuK might show up and take all the easy money, Shoutcraft style.

Do you honestly think there are no good players in NA?

HuK and Scarlett. Who is even close? I thought maybe DeMuslim but this isnt ladder so he is out.

I was curious because the two names you came up with were avilo and MaximusBlack.

Vibe, Minigun, Hendralisk, Kane, Major, JonSnow, State, Illusion, Suppy, Masa, Massan, Goswser, a whole host of unrecognized talent on teams like Clarity and Root's academy (seed). I'm probably even leaving some good players out. I'm excited to see NA players battle it out.

In the context of Destiny claiming that with proper hype watching two NA masters is the same as watching a GSL game. So Now we'll see.

Oh sorry about that I didn't realize you were referencing a quote by Destiny. I hadn't heard that he said that.

I wonder what kind of player will be played I'm hoping for Major, but I have to feel that Scarlett going to take it also does that mean Polt can or can't play in MLG? I am a little worried D:

Money from the Swedish government and a lot of volunteers, that probably helps

He never said the hype would be the same, he said the average viewer can't see the difference.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Might be a little funny if Polt doesn't participate in MLG considering he is the reigning MLG Champion.

Great to have some awesome news to remove some of the sour taste left in my mouth from the Epik + Startale news of late. This has some great potential and I hope MLG can pull off something really interesting.

Technically but it is possible that MLG decides to only allow North American citizens or something.
