In Response To: Are you kidding? (Simpsons Rule)


: At #2, a guy getting a triple kill as he spawn-kills people on The Pit?
: That's the second-greatest moment MLG can provide? Great show of skill
: right there...

: -SR

Don't think of this order, as an order of skill needed to perform, it is more of an order of "amazingness" of the clip. Many of these clips are from matchmaking, that though they are some great plays, take nowhere near the skill to perform as per say, a high level custom game of MLG v4 settings.

So again, don't be surprised if some crazy luck random stick from across a map makes it high on the list in future top tens. Skillful? Not at all, but amazing? Of course.

As for the placement of this clip, a number of factors propelled it to #2. Part of the amazingness of this clip is that he created a spawn trap, pretty much breaking our gametype, forcing us to re-forge the map. It is also a kind of throwback to Halo 1, where knowing and predicting spawns are half of the game.

Another part of the amazingness, is that it's Strongside, member of the Gilbert Arenas sponsored #1 Halo team in the world, Final Boss. Another part would be that it is in a custom game against other various competitive players, and even other Pro players. Another part would be that he starts out with a couple kills, showing great cover for his teammates trying to get the flag, then turns it into a triple kill, and almost an overkill, the entire other team.

So again, these are not just ordered from 1 to 10 by skill needed to perform.
