I'm officially out of the closet: I heart MLG

[BuckFly]

No, I don't do it often, but I love watching MLG matches.

Whether they have announcers (who normally do a pretty could job), or just the action:

From the most recent MLG tournament in Columbus -

I just plain find it enjoyable to watch.

I love watching competition and I love it when people are really good at what they do. There are better matches if you search, but most of you probably won't be interested enough to do so.

Please let it be known to all that I have a rich and fulfilling life: great wife, great home that I work on, great friends, good job, I love sports, like to read, love music...the whole 9 yards.


...and this is the dirty little secret that I keep with respect to pro-gaming.

Had I known early about the tournament in Columbus I would have driven down their from Buffalo to be a spectator.

The first step is always admitting that you have a problem.

I always buy the HQ pass to their competitions. I love watching competitive matches, even more when they have announcers.

Ahh, a kindred spirit.

Thanks, Manny.

The fact that on great teams everyone knows there roll is something to behold.

'Pistola was doing things in some of those games that would have gotten a noob killed inside of 3 seconds, but executes things flawlessly.

...just good stuff.

What i don't like about this kind of competitions: after watching a match, i'm afraid of playing online. I realize how much i suck at those games

[NeoFoxTrot]

Haha. It is pretty amazing to watch. Some of those guys live and breathe this stuff.

BTW, you guys, that is why I like Bungies ability in Online Halo for relative noobs or crappy players like me to be grouped together in competition.

you scared me. I just read I came out the closet and was like WTF. MLG is great. Getting paid to play games is fun. And MLG is just beast. It reminds me of that G4 Show Arena.

Arena...holy crap, Sondi, you are taking me back, man!



...and no Sondi, if I were gay my wife would be really, really pissed with me.



...Not that there is anything wrong with that.
