Not enough people I know are going from the MLG Forums/Live to warrant going as a spectator, and I just haven't been able to get into the competitive side of Reach deeply enough to try to get a team going. Hopefully the rest of the season is more enjoyable, I don't think I'll be happy if Ace and Clutch are top 3. My pick would be Warriors, just because I refuse to jump on the Instinct wagon. . .
Yeah seriously, has ace done anything memorable besides being on SQ? Enable teabags and shoots dead bodies on the main stage, and I get why that annoys people, but Ace and the other SQ guys just seem to play and move on with their day. Anyway, not going to be at Columbus, but if anyone else is going to Anaheim, I'll be there.
It's not that I'm not an Ace fan, I like Ace, it's just given his performance in H3 I don't think he a "top tier" player and I hope that it isn't a sign that Reach is going to be bouncier in placement than H3. Though I won't be preaching doom-and-gloom yet, I just have to remind myself that Classic got 2nd at Meadows '08.
Ace worked his way up to the latter stages of H3, but most importantly that was as a part of SQ. We can all remember his days of relative top 16/24 floating with the him and Chig duo, but to be fair he's always been a solid player, he just needed to learn his role and solidify it more, and do that within a good team. He did that with SQ, and I'd say that he definitely earned his title as a top tier player by the end of the game. Not top 5 players or anything, but still a guy who earned his name imo. And, to be fair, he seems to be noticeably more individually skilled in Reach than he was in H3.
That's just it, he earned his name, but his name is more of a top 8 kind of guy definitely not a top seed. Though I guess that team is better than I am giving credit, but it's just I've always seen Ace as sQs weak link.
I’m sitting this one out spectator-ing home. Sorry Craig, Bryant, Andrew, Christina, and John I'm definitely going to Anaheim and Disneyland!
Thank. God. Normality returns. sQ played bad, FB and Instinct played good, and the Sudds sucked worse than usual. Starcraft was REALLY good, but since this is a Halo site I will exclude that from the topic .
WOW. I have never seen such a dominant team. That was intense. Also, Starcraft is AMAZING here. The crowd is great too
