I love that tl has picked this up though, i can probably tune into halo 5 once in awhile once it comes out and root for a tl team. Can't really root against ogre 2 though ... So gonna have to figure that out. | ||

I remember seeing it on cable TV at one point and thinking 'I wish people would like starcraft as much as they like halo' Halo 1 and 2 are on PC for sure. I just assumed all the people who act like they didn't know it was a sport are trolling. Halo has been big with MLG for years and even MLG L.A. had Dwight Howard in attendance. And for SC2 people, Red Bull Orlando was hosted by Halo 3 pro "Walshy" who not only has been great as a host for Red Bull events, but has played Starcraft and surfs the TL forums from time to time. | ||

The Thing is... Afaik there is no such thing as "console" E-Sports in europe. There is no FCG (or it is extremly small). I have never heard of a "console" LAN or anything like this. The only reason MLG got "known" over here is because of SC2, before that I didn't know it even existed. At least in Switzerland/Germany/Austria there is also like absolutely no Arcade "culture". It is/was basically all CS, Quake, SC/BW, WC3, SC2, Dota/Lol. The whole "console" E-Sports sounded just strange and funny to me. It just doesn't exist (or is hiding itself extremly well) "here"... | ||

The world is a whole lot bigger than the 10 million square kilometer-area called the United States of America. Console esports are nonexistent over here. | ||

I thought there would have been MLG equivalent tournaments in Europe for halo. Thanks for the information. | ||

I can make pretty save assumptions about the german speaking countries, outside of that its hard to tell what was going on at the time. Especially France allways felt very seperated community wise. | ||

I can only speak for Belgium, but any Halo esports scene or esports awareness was nonexistent, or at the very least extremely limited. Esports-awareness is still very low, not in the least bit due to a pervasive conservative mentality towards IT in general and towards gaming more specifically, both among youngsters and the older generations. On top of that, Playstation is the more popular console over here. On a personal level, I never found shooters to be fun to watch, whether they are played on PCs or consoles. | ||
