Secondly, any outfit with less than 200 members is going to struggle to get 1/4th of their member base online at a single time. |

Now the winning team has to split the purse 48 ways... so that greatly diminishes the value of a "professional" level competitors - so now its more amature league, which is ok I suppose. So unless SOE is doing really really well, this is just another in game ladder that has a MLG sticker slapped on it. No "pros" are going to take this serious. Then theres the whole, lets get 48 people to show up for matches, so now we are down to maybe 2-3 teams that can play each other. so yea, Higby is really quiet about details, and it makes me think they really haven't thought this through enough. I mean why half ass the announcement if you dont know how its going to work. Last edited by Rahabib; 2013-03-18 at 03:03 PM. |

I think people understand that MLG is for a rather specific player group but those same people don't seem to understand the level of dedication required for it. It's a competition level league that you have to earn to be a part of, not be given it. Sure everyone has a chance to be apart of the ladder and ranking system, but make no mistake people will be forming outfits specifically for MLG PS2, just like is done in other games. Think of the number of players who play Starcraft 2 for example, think about how many of them are part of MLG. Everyone has a chance, only those crazy good, sometimes no-lifers, are the ones who really go far in it. You really should read the article, it's what this thread is about.

no where does he address where it fits in with MLG as far as online only (ladder is - we know this) or in person (finals as most other MLG games). The only real info we have is:

I also disagree with your assessment that it won't attract high competition players. Sure it's not going to pull some guy whose top in his specific game, but it will attract plenty of 'professional' gamers. |

I am not sure how "likely" it is to be exactly like that.
It will attract high competition players who happen to already play Planetside 2. You wont see the level of dedication to it that you see for SC2, LOL, or more realistically COD or CS. Not for station cash and not for online only billing. I know they wont pay for 96 plane tickets - I bring it up because thats what it would take to be a top game at MLG and to get noticed. Otherwise its just another game on Gamebattles. Last edited by Rahabib; 2013-03-18 at 04:25 PM. |
