Awesome video.
Saddens me that people constantly rip on other games in these forums because they don't meet the "standards" of BW or SC2(I know it is a BW and SC2 website). It helps make a lot of StarCraft fans seem like assholes to outsiders and puts us all under the same stereotype.
FPS games are different practice, the teamwork comes first and the skill compliments it. SC2 is more about the build orders, reading the opponent and getting your timings correct.
Hopefully they have one of these after Raleigh!

This topic has been slightly derailled but I wanted to thanks the creator of this video That's exactly what I needed; MLG produces so many games that's it's hard to keep all of them in mind. Also I enjoyed the part about Halo, I've been a fan of the franchise since the beginning and I'm a casual console gamer, so that's fine by me. ps: We need bigger prize pools

That's nothing compared to what Starcraft players put in. 3-4 hours AS A TEAM. The Halo players practice all day in custom games, but getting 4 players together for team practice is difficult considering they're usually college kids living in disparate parts of the country.

I think there are fps games tht most starcraft players respect, like cs and quake. halo/cod not so much. and ive competed in cod4 so im not trying to be a dick here its just the truth. competitive fps games have been going downhill for a long time now.

Aren't they splicing in the main SC2 crowd cheering as they show FPS clips? The two columns of seats, fully filled?
Curious if anybody else saw this or was I mistaken.

MLG is like the only big tournament for Halo wheareas SC2 seems to have something big every week. My guess is Halo players need to have jobs aswell to support themselves so 3-4 hours per day may be all they can afford?

Sick video, gave amazing insight into the other games there, will start following Instinct in future MLGs now!
|
Great video. MLG should look into setting up mics on the crowd to give a better sense of how loud it was. The crowd at Anaheim threw down the gauntlet. You're up, Raleigh!
|
I'm kinda sad that there will only be 4 events next year sigh..

50 minutes is a bit long for a recap video. Of course that's just my opinion. I spent hours watching the event. I don't really feel like watching another hour of it. It's the thought that counts, and I appreciate the time it took y'all to put it together, and I'm sure others will enjoy it, but I would prefer something around the 10-15 minute mark.

The best part: Idra vs Cruncher, JP saying: "Shake hands if you're going to" and Idra just walks away, missed that live.

I very much enjoyed this recap, thanks.

Maybe you are thinking of a highlights video.
