The past weekend was MLG Dallas for those not in the know. Our clan team Profanity decided to pack up thier balls and head down to the Big D and see just how they stacked up against the best teenagers MLG had to offer. Drost and Malice showed up at my place around 10:30 or so Wednesday evening. Xssmoke and Eks were staying at Soupnazzis place in town as well. The team consisted of Drost, Malice, Soupnazi and Eksessiv. Smoke and I were simply along for the ride and to interject our sagely advice as needed.

Here area few pics:

BTW Face, what the hell were you warming up for?

Dont ask about the results of that match.

So a quick re-cap from an observer of MLG.
  • If you think you know how to play Halo and you are reading this, YOU ARE WRONG. There were tactics and playstyles utalized in the tournament that are foreign to the vast majority of 2o2p, ourselves included. If you have a good team and want to try out MLG, go ahead. Just heed this advice, practice FFA like there is no tomorrow. It matters.
  • Never get fixated on a kill in FFA. Plug a few shots and be ready to move on when that rabbit jumps down a hole. If you pursue a kill, its only you who ends up dead.
  • Sign up a coach with your team. You get an extra pair of eyes if you want and they can be a help pointing out global issues in-game that you might miss on you half-screen
  • Teamwork and communication are paramount to being able to do anything in the tournament.
  • Headphones. Get em. Also get an audio splitter so that your split-screen partner can use headphones as well. Turning up the TV all the way works for some people, but headphones are the sure-fire way to go.
  • Did I mention teamwork?
  • Dont underestimate the goofy looking kid with his pants around his knees. When he is done with you, YOU may very well be the one with YOUR pants pulled down...

Id like to add that I teabagged facehumper during that warmup just to keep the tradition going. I even got killed in the process by Malice I think.

Em, it was a blast, got to see one of the Athena twins and LiL Poison. LiL Poison is freaking SICK. Little kids destroys some of these older players like a hot knife through butter. It was amazing to watch.

That looks like it was a lot of fun. You guys going to go to the one in Chicago? If your not playing in the tourney do you have to pay to get in?
