The best players are in America. The best European and Australian teams have went to the Halo 3 MLG tournaments. None placed top 16 I don't think. So we win, get over it.
Don't act as if you understand MLG, because if you did you'd realise that when a new team enters the tourney they have start right at the bottom of the am brackets due to having no points.
All the current top MLG teams are American (apart from the European Power Gaming who are actually now Top 16) solely because they've been going to tourneys for longer, hence the more seed points and how much easier it is for them to keep the points.
Using that argument is just pathetic, we don't see your American teams coming to compete in ECL, so by your logic I'm free to say "All European players are the best because no American teams have finished top 16 at a European event."
That's the thing with you yanks, 9 out of 11 times, you're wrong.
MLG isn't just exclusively American. You don't see that in the name of the league, it's open to any country. And MLG is much, more popular and respected. So the best European team can just slip barely into top 16 yet Europeans are better? Pure bs.
I'm tired of all these stupid arguments. Americans are better at Halo 3, it's fact. Take the top MLG team and they will win the against the ECL teams. No doubt about it.
You're not even responding to what I said, you're just pretending I said something else and basing your response on that. In all honesty, I wouldn't expect anything more.
You don't realise how many hurdles new teams have to jump when starting at MLG events, it takes a while to get your footing in, get seeding points which determine who you face. All the current pro American teams have been attending H3 events since the game was released, which gets them more points, which gets them straight into the Champions/Winners brackets, not only with a guaranteed high placed finish, but a safety net if they drop a game or two.
Now that the few European teams are more established, they'll be able to improve on their rankings without having to spend all day fighting through the Amateur brackets, just to be dropped straight into the Losers brackets.
You're judging an entire nations skill on this shoddy system that MLG themselves admitted to being unforgiving to new teams, hence the new Combine events.
