Because the acronym itself has lost all meaning. When I hear "MLG": I think of tweenagers playing CoD and screaming how "MLG" they are when they throw a knife at someone 5 metres away. The idea of MLG itself is a bloody joke. Edit: Furthermore, any gamer that claims to be hardcore is a mongoloid. It's a title given by children when playing games, I'm a WoW enthusiast yet you don't see me claiming to be a hardcore gamer. Calling yourself hardcore is just cringeworthy, mate...
