Can't wait till they do Halo 4.

MLG. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Being a "Professional Gamer" is a contradiction and sounnds ridiculous. Hardly a title you'd brag about, Unless you are among fellow gamers. The title is far from respectable, And hints at no real accomplishments. On the other hand, Being a gamer, I'd like to get paid to game, And no other gamer would really question your skill. Seeing that these people actually make a living off of playing video games, I have a hard time questioning their lifestyle. I know which side I'd choose, But it would feel like a betrayal to my fellow gamers. Betrayal is not in my repetoire, so, I remain in the middle.

I guess I should pay attention again. I haven't really been watching since I stopped playing StarCraft II.

Did they just get rid of CoD?

So...any BarCrafts going in in San Diego during this time?

Time to mark the calendar!
by Monty1408 Tuesday, July 10, 2012 at 06:30 PM

I think I would be more impressed if they were playing more recent titles. Watching this video and the announcers talk as if this is life changing stuff is hilarious!
by musicalham Tuesday, July 10, 2012 at 06:31 PM

How often do they do this? Every season?
by pureinstinct 64 Tuesday, July 10, 2012 at 10:39 PM

This is literally the most disappointing thing I have read all day.... First off where is the Columbus event?! Second why is it just fighting, LoL, and Starcraft? Do you guys need to remember Halo? Halo is the only reason I got interested in MLG and e-sports... Now they're pretty much dropping that from the line up... I can deal with them not having it for awhile I'll admit Reach sucked and Halo 4 will be amazing, if Halo 4 isn't in MLG at some point I'll never watch it again. But again where is the Columbus event? Am I mistaken or are they just not having one? I finally have the money to go and they just don't have one? What the eff MLG

Get wait to see some fighting game action! Been pumped to see some more after EVO.

I wonder if they will have Counter Strike: GO events after the fall.
by Brandon Schlamp Thursday, July 12, 2012 at 09:00 AM

Lol at all the noobs asking why they are putting these "old" PC games on instead of the "new" games like Halo or CoD, the answer is, Starcraft 2 and League of Legends have 1000x the fan base and viewership, it also takes 1000x the skill to play those games and is 1000x as fun, and to those saying how easy it is to be a pro gamer and that it is not a sport...

GL, I'm sure you could do that ezpz, the guy isn't even considered a top level pro either. He is also executing many different strategies and mind games in that time with his opponent in that time.
