Subject: Why is MLG held in low regard?

I'm curious as to why some people don't like MLG. Personally I'm neutral about MLG, it just seem like an organization that matches an exceptionally good group of guys against each other in a variety of games(Correct me if I'm wrong). Why do I get the strange feeling I should put on a flame suit?

I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Just Zoid being Zoid ^_^

Allons-y!

Because they overhype themselves so much, as do other people.

Shut the hell up, Halo is my world

People blindly hate MLG, because they stupidly throw the competitive players that beat them to a pulp online and MLG in the same category. MLG is good for gaming, and people are dumb for hating on it simply because they aren't good at multi player games.

Let us just say, people aren't confident in the Future of MLG.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

People confuse actual MLG players and 12 year old tryhards.

I can only please one person per day.

Today isn't your day.

Tomorrow isn't looking too good either.

Why?

Because they made A LOT of games worse with their rules and then people were forced to deal with the fallout, like how in Rainbow Six Vegas 1 they didn't ban a rather massive glitch on Kill House that let you shoot people through walls while you couldn't be shot, or not banning weapon sliding in Gears 1 even though EPIC said it was a glitch and they were doing their best to remove it.

They also did a pretty bad job of policing their community for a long time, so all the loudmouths and asshats had the run of the place and made everything dislike them because they made MLG look like a bunch of rude jackasses.

And the smug sense of superiority many members tend to carry gets really old, really fast.

I don't so much hate MLG, but the masses of obnoxious preteens that pretend to be somehow affiliated with them. Eventually, you start to hate the organization just because that is the type of person they attract, and the rabble of morons is who ends up speaking the loudest on their behalf.

A little harsh, but entirely true.

This. The 10 yearold tryhard asshats that pretend to be mlg and put it in their tag/name are what I hate.

It's about on the level of KSI with me.

People somehow think that the screaming kids they see on xbox live are a representation of the pros that play in their tourneys.
Or just have no clue whatsoever about anything when it comes to competitive gaming in general.

MLG itself is just a company that hosts tournaments.

I like MLG. Hate the fanboys who take it TOO SERIOUS.

Long story short. They turned Halo from a story based game into a super elite competetive multiplayer arena.

'entirely' true?
Bang your head?

I've always been rather decent at the old vidya gaming, but never of the mindset of seeing it as something to be taken seriously on multiplayer. I wouldn't say I dislike MLG as an entity as that would be pretty silly, but the mentality required for it, especially in games where you can't control your own servers (so pretty much the majority of console games), is at odds with how I play.

Don't get me wrong, I'll play to win every now and then on Halo or Battlefield, but if I see someone on the other team just jumping around and having a bit of fun I'll leave them to it - the difference between the more relaxed types and MLG types is that an MLG fan/player seems to constantly be in 'competitive mode' with no off switch.

Its all about how seriously you view multiplayer gaming.
Like I said at the beginning of my post, nothing against MLG or their players, and really if they're in their own servers/gametypes, perfect - its just the attitude that some seem to bring that gives me a bad impression.
See me landing a jet in the middle of nowhere on BF3 - leave me to it damnit!

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

People are jealous.
