i flipped over to tsn the other night hoping to catch one of the hockey games and instead they're televising a bunch of greasy virgins battle each other on halo 3. what the hell is this shit? is this the future of male entertainment? first, it's a bunch of old, fat hicks playing poker, and now this. jesus christ.

I love the announcer's, like how do you gte qualified to do that. But seriously televising that is gay, especially over hockey.

and its not only hockey. i mean, with the amount of sport that takes place on any given night, professional, college, whatever, how is there even room for this on television, period?

Hey Asswhole, MLG is the shit. IF they have poker and painball why not Video Games. Some people I know are paid 100k. to go to events.

SO shut the fuck up with your comments. I myself am part of MLG and I live in Whistler/ going to college and I ski.

This makes me feel dead inside.  I could go on, but for some reason it doesn't seem worth the time to comment on this.

yep, i've been on the forums for a couple years following it, and its gotten huge over the last few years with some serious money.  Don't hate on it, some of the pros are actually pretty cool, not your typical fat geeks.  I've never been to an event because i'm not that serious about halo, but it's pretty cool.

i've been to some mlg events and most of the people aren't like the stereotype. it's actually really fun and i don't see why you have to hate on it for being on tv. if you don't like it watch something else

I like to play games, watching other people play just sucks. It's like when you have 4 people and 3 controllers.

Alot of video games are becoming what is considered an "e-sport". Some of the largest out there are Fifa, Halo, Starcraft and World of Warcraft.

There is an aspect in World of Warcraft where you make teams to fight in an arena, gladiator style matches. This arena fighting gets ridiculously competitive. They had a tournament not long ago where it was the best 5 vs. 5 teams in the world coming together. The first place team received $500,000. That's just sick.
