It's not MLG that people hate, it's the people. Not all, just the ones that believe themselves to be "too elite" for anybody to play with and that if you're not doing it their way, then you're not doing it the right way. The ones that sit on a self-appointed pedestal and criticise anybody just there to play the game. They're the people that like to turn a good, fun game into an e-peen measurement contest. The ones that believe they're entitled to put up the velvet ropes that section themselves from everybody else. Unfortunately these kinds of people are everywhere not just MLG.
