I have a serious question: Why did MLG take up Reach?
Because it takes way more skill than CoD or Battlefield, and games like Unreal Tournament and Shadowrun are all too old to have a thriving fan base.
Battlefield actually won't ever be labeled as "competitive" because no one in the current age wants to form teams of 12. Also Battlefield is not known, at all, for its deathmatch.
And please, don't pull the "too old" card, Super Street Fighter II Turbo is still played competitively at Evolution, God's Garden, Super Battle Opera, as well as others.
Personally? Sometimes I wonder if FPS MLG somewhat begs off from PC FPS games because they take "more skill" than console FPS games. Because quite honestly, MLG has been clinging to console FPS games for a long, long time, and pushing other games out until recently. To my knowledge (I may be wrong) but didn't MLG WoW stop? SC2 finally earned a higher spot and LoL finally was given a spot. Smash Bros. was also dropped.
Well console FPS's is what got mlg to where they are today.
I dont quite know why WoW stopped, but it was barely even on the circuit. It probably wasnt worth the trouble of holding events for. Also, Smash Bros probably got removed because they werent allowed to stream it.
This is only SC2s 2nd season on the circuit, so it wasnt gonna be the main game right away.
I wonder if StarCraft 2 and League of Legends will eventually take a much bigger portion of MLG. League of Legends, on its own, has a larger fanbase than all of the FPS games on MLG combined.
