He got promoted and basically helps run the whole tournament now. The main Reach commentators are now Walshy, Bravo (did a great job) and Gandhi.



MLG has been in danger of bankruptcy apparently because all of the big sponsors like Old Spice felt as though they weren't getting the returns they wanted based on the money the funneled into MLG. Halo's following last tournament was extremely small but they Reach turnout this tourney was completely unexpected. It may be the only reason Halo stays on the circuit. With the new FFA thing on Friday where  everyone could participate they even streamed til like 3 AM although they were only expecting to go til like midnight. The support was overwhelming and you could even see the excitement in the commentators that it may save Halo. It just has to survive to Halo 4 which may bring it even to Starcraft's level


Ah. I knew tournament attendance had been dwindling, but I wasn't aware that MLG was on the verge of bankruptcy. I figured SC2 would have given them a huge cash injection to more than make up for the lack of interest in Reach.

Well I'm sure it did. I have a rl friend who's been getting known in the MLG world because he writes articles and stuff and has done a few interviews with some pros and he keeps me updated. Sundance has apparently been freaking out about MLG having to shut down but after CBus idk if that's the case. They were absolutely blown away by the attendance and whatnot

That's pretty cool. I wish I was older back when H2/3 were on the circuit :/ I always wanted to really get into competitive gaming, but I was too young to realistically do anything. Probably too late now for Halo sadly.

Too young? dafuq?

I started gaming when I was like 13ish (all because I moved and knew no one here at the time) and was pro when I was 15/16. You are never too young

Yeah but the new announcers aren't too bad. Beat the shit out of Shockwave and other pros who knew nothing about what they were saying. Nobody can compete on Puckett's level though.

Yeah I wish I just knew about MLG more than two years ago so I could have maybe gone to a few events. I am 100% without a doubt going to my first event ever next year.

Would be pretty difficult to do. 4 streams of sc2 is pretty crazy and has to mean something.

Really depends on what people think of halo 4 really. It has the potential to be real good or have people feeling the same way they do about Reach...
