Never watched MLG before, streaming it right now. It's more fun than I thought, even though I don't know any of the teams, they did a nice job recapping. Announcers are funny in a "hey they're talking about games!" kinda way.
What do you think about competitive gaming at present and in the future?
Eh, I don't think comp. gaming is as good as it was a few years back. I used to watch that one show where they'd do daily competitive matches in Halo, Mechwarrior 4 Mercs, Dead or Alive, all that gud stuff. Although I've been meaning to stream MLG, lol.
Watched this last night

Yeah we have a long way to go. It's something I used to be interested in but I dont really care about anymore.
It's on G4tv if you wanna stream.Originally Posted by GunZet
I wonder what would result of a video game designed specifically for MLG/competitive gaming. Be in shooter, RTS, or fighter, I think it would be interesting.
Shadowrun was designed specifically for competitive play
Don't watch for the same reason I don't watch sports. Though I guess it has the same appeal. I do like watching Let's Plays, though, probably for the humor.
Did not know that. Fun fact!
Why don't you watch sports?
If I'm not watching something funny in a video game, I'd rather spend that time playing one, is all. Like I can't watch a super serious live broadcast without losing interest. I can just barely stomach Evo because the announcers tend to be funny.
Completely respected.
I'm a natural-born analyist so modern pro sports interest me, due to all the stats and strategizing.
THere should be Battlefield comps. 64 person massive wars, strategy, the works.
I'm hoping Mechwarrior 5 pops back into the competition world.
