However, there's a competitive aspect to it, thus they play it competitively at tournaments. Why are you guys so judgmental like your perfect?
Competitive gaming was labeled as an e-sport WAY before MLG so why does EVERYONE target MLG for? Is it because you get owned by some stupid little MLG posers who think they're part of our community because they have an MLG gamerpic, so in turn you think everyone in MLG is a douchebag who plays video games 24/7?
That seems to be the case with most people. They base an entire community off of one poser.
I played FPS games competitively on the PC for almost 12 years so I have nothing against playing in clans but it seems the mentality of a big chunk of the MLG community is that of a 12 year old. This could also be that most of the MLG community is made up of kids around that age. The difference in competitive PC gaming vs console gaming is so huge that it is crazy.
Meh, I never got into it. It felt as if every single "MLG" person I ran into sucked serious... But in all seriousness I did play Call of Duty 4 Competitively for a time. I tried Gamebattles (I know... I know... i don't wanna hear it) and boy did it suck. Not only did we win every single clan, or whatever it is they call their groups, but they all declared us as the losers. So much for sportsmanship. I stopped after 20 groups declared a victory over us.
I dont mind MLG. Its just the majority of MLG players I've run into have been immature kids.

I completly agree i mean its cool to have a copetitive gaming community but i used to be really really into MLG with Halo and as i look back on it most people were No life immature jerks that talked crap did nothing but play halo and practice there BR and never enjoyed the game they jsut yelled and screamed and complained and whined. I had this one guy on my freinds list that stopped inviting me to his games cuz i out BR'd him and he happened to play like 8 hours everyday and he never went pro. I stopped that crap becasue I got tired of being upset or not enjoying games. So i guess you can still consider me a Hard core gamer just not at that freakish MLG no life level.
I don't see the point in it myself. Games should be for enjoyment. I feel that as soon as you turn them into some sort of competitive sport then that enjoyment is gone, and the games are played purely to find out who is the best at them. Call me old fashioned, but I don't see any fun in that.

Is this how you feel about Basketball, Baseball and Football? Not that I consider gaming a physical sport, but they all promote competition in addition to the fun and enjoyment of playing them.
Taking games that seriously is a joke. They are designed to be a leisure activity. As much as I play them and enjoy them, I think it's incredibly stupid to take it that seriously. It's kind of like calling poker a sport. As a real athlete (boxer) it amazes me in it's stupidity.

I agree. Plus, they have huge poker tournaments and stuff like that and personally, I think it takes more skill to play a video game than play poker. You do have to know stuff with poker but it's still more luck of the draw as opposed to being good at aiming or picking the right person to pass to (football game).
I don't think people consider it a sport. I don't. But hey, if you're good enough to play professionally and get paid to do it. Why not? I know I'd love to have that job.
I think it's neat. people who aren't athletic can compete at something not TOO many people who play sports are good at. and it's REALLY competitive, too.
I've run into a few "MLG" players in Gears 2. My clan mates and I annihilated them, then they started saying we "Sucked". Clearly they were posers/12 Year Olds.:D
It's not a sport, and anyone who thinks it is has their head up their ass. I fail to see how it can ever become popular because honestly, who likes watching someone else play a video game? That's why they created multiplayer, so you could both play the game. Especially since I can just walk 5 feet to my room and do the same thing the "pros" are doing. That's my opinion, I won't even get into how the "pros" are geeks, that's another story
It's stupid..Especially when COD4 came around. After that, is seemed like every 12 year old kid wanted to be MLG. I even know a few people who got too addicted to that game and changed..All they do is talk about that damn game.
I have nothing against MLG. Some do think that they're the greatest thing to grace the game but others act very humble. I don't see anything against getting paid for something you're good at, especially if you enjoy doing it.
