The MLG Official Thread (Providence Results, New Thread Owner)

Read: I'm now the thread owner, as sportsboy is no longer around and he had previously asked for the thread to have a new owner. Nothing's really going to change, unless there's some huge increase in interest in MLG here. If there's anything that should / could be done differently, let me know, but otherwise this format is probably going to stick. An OP with full team lists for each event would probably get to be a bit long, so I'll likely just redirect that sort of thing to the MLG forums themselves.

Carbon's got it wrapped up. If they play the way they did in dallas (im looking at YOU naded) they will win it. Especially if Defy's BR gets going hot

Look for Str8 to drop someone (probably Elamite) if they dont win.

Also, naded is a fucking beast.

EDIT: I tried starting this like a year ago, but it never got started up. Hopefully this will

Anyone else thinking of a certain episode of Arby N the Chief

? Sorry, that's just the first thing that comes to my mind when it comes to the term.

I've watched some of it on TV before, but didn't find it all that entertaining. Maybe it was the timing, but it just seemed as boring as watching football (please don't shoot me >_>). I can see the draw, though, but I can't really see myself watching more than an episode of any kind of MLG show.

I'm pulling for Carbon because I'm a huge Walshy fan (Michigan FTW), and I think they can do it if they play superbly like last event. Otherwise I'd like to see Triggers Down win again. I'm calling Status Quo top 5 finish too, mark it.

I really want Str8 to match up against Instinct at some point. Neighbor and Elamite have been going at it this past week over facebook and twitter and there is sure to be some ridiculous trash talk if they get matched up

so it will be interesting to see how them and their teams perform.

I'll be rooting for Believe the Hype as always but top 4 will probably be Carbon, Final boss, Trigs, and Str8

Instinct is gonna be top 6 with classic probably.

Also CoD4 Nationals ftw!

Gotta say I'll still be rooting for a Carbon win, supported them since Gandhi was my favourite player. Having Walshy and Naded on the team helps too

Surprised to see BtH beaten by Dynasty, I had them maybe causing an upset against one of the 'main' teams.

Carbon were awesome last night, Nadeds ball grab in the first Heretic oddball to tie the game was beyond clutch, and then went and drew highest K/D while getting most ball time, he's a beast.

Out of all the teams if I had to pick I'd still guess a TD victory, however all the teams look pretty strong at the moment which hopefully equals a damn good event.

It's more fun to have a legit team together and just rape everybody in public matches. Since I know I don't know enough REALLY REALLY good players to compete in MLG. I do have a couple of real good friends though.

And I'm not talking about Halo, by the way. I'm talking about CoD4, and MW2 after it's been out for a while.

Alright guys, Since anaheim is going on right now (I have 2 papers to write and my internet blows at home so i cant watch it) I have a friend watching it and he is gonna update me on the pro teams. Ill add the news here as well.

So far, Final Boss (Lost to Dynasty in the Quarterfinals) AND Carbon (wtf guys. Lost to Str8) are BOTH in the losers Brackets. I had carbon winning. Gonna be tough for them.

Thoughts?

I was at the Michigan game up until this point, so I haven't seen any of the matches today but Final Boss to Dynasty O_o is a huge upset. So much for FearItself being a good pickup. Also, Carbon losing to Str8

Looking like a battle between Str8 and Triggers Down is lining up to happen yet again, but who knows what could happen between today and tomorrow.

Has the site been down all day? I can't watch anything right now

EDIT: Site just starting working for me thankfully
