MLG Winter Pro Circuit will feature fighting games

Guess all that aimless stream whining paid off. (Not that Sundance did that IIRC, just that John Laurenitis sounding guy who yelled at Spooky.)

More seriously, what game(s)? I'm guessing SC V would make it in with Namco's blessing.
 
My guess is Soulcalibur V, in which case, I sincerely hope it shakes out to be a good game. It's still extremely early to judge.

In a perfect world, IPL would get SSF4, MLG would get Marvel or something to that affect, but I'll support whatever happens.
 
Yeah I really hope a capcom game makes a showing, would be pretty hype at an MLG venue I'd imagine. I got into competitive stuff too late to understand what the beef between Capcom and MLG was, but whatever it is I don't really care, I just wanna see it up on the big screen.

Also they were supposed to announce a bunch of stuff about the circuit tonight, but it got delayed for whatever reason. Hopefully when the announcements come they'll reveal the specific fighting games.
 
MLG is SC2 + whatever for me.

Halo and CoD numbers were pitiful lately. LoL can do good numbers. I think they want to push a game made in the US (they're like that), so they'll probably go for Mortal Kombat.
 
I'm just hoping for a Capcom fighter or KOF. I think a namco game would fail since the community just isn't strong in North America.
 
My guess it's MK and SCV. MLG have good relationships with Namco and Neatherealms. In a perfect world KOF would be there because that game is really good and has a strong internationals scene.

KOF? Yeah not gonna happen. SSFIV AE2012 and UMvC3 are my bets (And maybe Tekken Tag 2 since Tekken 6 was featured before)
 
I suspect it's SCV. Supposedly Daishi's twitter left a hint.

If they do it right, I can see the SC crowd taking to it. They're more open to the idea then the SF community.
 
"I've read dozens of articles about the esports stuff and cannot comprehend it. :("


I have no idea what problem you could possibly have comprehending it.
 
If only Virtua Fighter and KoF were ever popular enough to be selected. Then we'd see some real pro play!

Not that Namco and Capcom's old stand-bys are bad either, but the former two franchises could use some more recognition.
 
Glad people are supporting vF5 in this thread but high level vf play in the states is pretty much non exsistant. You wouldn't want to watch a vf tourney at the level the community (or lack there of) is at now.

It needs to be SF4AE2012.

To be fair, MLG is not against bringing over Foreigners to play. There were foreigners for Tekken when it was featured on the circuit.
 
SCV and SFxT please. There is no good reason why Capcom games can't be in and it would be illogical for Capcom to deny MLG this. MW3 seems a bit shit for a competitive game as it's not nearly as balanced as Black Ops in the maps, so that can stay away. Halo should stay of course.

They should also make sure to secure LoL and eventually DOTA2 when that comes out.
 
My votes would be for:
UMvC3
KOF XIII
SFIV:AE 2012

SCV, Tekken, SFxT, etc don't grab me as much.

Now that's not nice

If MLG picks up Halo again, SFIV AE 2012 or SFxT and obviously has SC2...damn, lots of streams to be watching, lots of games to be playing.

It was meant as a legitimate question, actually. :p There are some people who just don't "get" sports, shaking their heads in disbelief when others cheer for their favourite Baseball or Football teams or whatever.

I'm not 100% sure about that but I think Capcom would have to contribute to the overall pot if they let their game in any pro-circuit and I don't see Capcom doing that right now.
 
They should bring back Halo 3. I had a MLG settings LAN with Halo 3 recently and it was a lot of fun... unlike Reach.
 
Hope not, unless it's mortal kombat. They can have that and institute the typical idiotic mlg rules.

Remember mlg sponsored evo 2005 and left without paying the winners. Also, these idiot's wanted to ban gouken for mlg tournament play back when vanilla sf4 was being considered for mlg. OMFG!!!! gouken can throw into ultra!!!!! CHEAP ban him!!! These idiot's never even heard of throw teching.

Double also, mlg runs the worst sc2 tournaments, their rules for seedings is terrible they give preferential treatment to guys who plays in a lot mlg's which is how guys like incontrol can linger so long in seedings despite lackluster performances, and an mlg champion like MVP winds up without a seed in providence. And dont get me started with extended series which they kept despite overwhelming negative reactions form both players and fans alike.

In short MLG sucks. Fighting community stay away!!!

We're still talking about this?

Sundance said that anyone who wasn't paid for Evo 2005 should come forward with proof and he will pay them. I might be wrong but I didn't hear anyone come forward.

Yeah this is bullshit. I'm not a fan of the extended series stuff but MLG SC2 tournaments are awesome.

They have also changed the seeding system so your complaints are no longer relevant.
