In Response To: Re: And herein lies MLG's downfall.... (RC Master)


: Eh, I already understand the reasons why Starcraft is more popular, and I
: don't care. I cut off my comment because it turned into a critical
: statement about MLG's (mis)handling of their Halo league.

: Yeah, Halo is less suited to esports, but MLG took that game, altered the
: settings so much so that it was basically a different game, and lose a
: large portion of their potential audience by default.

: The thing is that a lot of the MLG community players, and seemingly the MLG
: tournment designers, obsess over making a game that is more innately
: competitive, while not really focusing on making it a great game to WATCH
: playing. Which at the end of the day, it's a spectator sport, with
: sponsors and prizes and so numbers (sustainable) are important, and
: they've thrown away vast sections of the audience in their obsessions
: about designing a new halo-sub-game rather than a Halo Spectator
: Tournament.

I agree that Halo can be a more interesting game to watch than what MLG offers if it includes more to see. For example vehicles and larger maps.

What I don't know, is there enough action in matches that include more default sandbox weaponry and vehicles to keep viewers attention.
