Place your bets :)

Excerpt ::

( in theory ) The AGP Tour is an international series of professional video game tournaments consisting of the best players in the world. ( fictively speaking ) The players are all part of the AGP (Association of Gaming Professionals).
Following Quake 3 and its 10 years of history as a pro sport ( pro.....sport...right ), Id Software’s Quake Live has been released as its successor. It will be featured and focused on by the AGP Tour as the next major sport *( no fucking less )* and will be presented online ( because streams are clearly better than GTV ) as it has always deserved. ( says who ? )

( in practice ) All you just read , besides the stuff between parenthesis, is made of opinions and assumptions.


So my question is when ? After the recession ? During Obama ?
In 17 minutes ?

( This is an excerpt from another post, I figured id make a thread on forums for more visibility, beware, its kind of a long read, one which I hope will raise at least a few questions )

I know this is flamebait material, but I figured some of you may not be as narrow minded as they pretend to be....believe me theres a lot to learn from the console kids :)

I recently went to the dark side and bought a xboxcircle. Halo 3 may be filled with kids and shit, mlg seems to be a stable and ongoing platform.

Like any other quake elitist, I jumped in the console FPS fray thinking I would be able to beat 70% of the competition from day 1....lol what a world of hurt.

Halo 3 at high levels is very comparable to Quake at high levels, especially if you consider there is a very active population of 20 000 mlg players on the ranked playlist. ( in other words, im getting my ass raped 8/10 games vs mlgpro teams )

Anyhow, not trying to maraude you people over the xbox scene but anyone reading this and owning a 360 with a copy of halo 3 should at the very least try the new mlg playlist included in ranked games and realize FPS competition is alive and well in america, just on a more standardized platform with a league that actually pays the earnings :)
