In the Gears world, I am hoping Gears 2 brings a better spectator experience for everyone. Gears was not truly that great to watch many times; the only thing that redeemed it (and trust me, it did) was the crowd and players getting hyped on Gears mainstage to get wow gold. The only reason to go and watch was the excitement through the matches, and not as much the matches themselves. On a similar note, Vegas 2 has now been moved to online only, which is a solid move in my opinion. Vegas 2 players were obviously hurt a lot by this change, but if it was costing too much time and resources to set up the Vegas 2 section of the event, then we can only hope that same energy is channeled into Halo, Gears, and WoW Gold. And hell, online circuit is not -that- bad. It is some of the time about World of Warcraft Gold.

Call of Duty 4 makes a return on the online pro circuit, as expected. This is not completely MLG fault, given Infinity Wards, for lack of better phrasing, complete and utter disregard and disrespect towards all of those who take their game seriously about cheap wow gold. MLG championships in 2008 featured the game at a LAN event, but I am guessing all of the work required to make it work well (trust me, it was fairly complex, and I will spare the details) was not worth it for live events, they decided to get wow gold.

I still prefer hemo over sinister strike as it does roughly 100 less damage at 171 DPS weapon and 3300 AP, but more than makes up for it with a very powerful debuff (and costs a lot less talent points). I hope they will add hemo to blade twisting however, it is still lacking on the damage per energy department.
