I just finished watching a single MLG King of the Hill match on Battle Canyon, and it honestly felt awesome. It's so nostalgic to see players coming back to that particular map that has always been with us since the beginning. Everything was so cheerful, everyone seemed to be having fun, and the map had life in it, it had color, it had soul. It was beautiful.
But then, the video was over and I found myself upon the endless pile of gameplays, commentaries and montages done over gray, dull maps all over Forge World.
Sometimes I hate the fact that competitive players want pure symmetrical maps in order to play. Sometimes I wish there had been MLG matches on Reflection, Anchor 9 or even Uplink (if anyone remembers that, map, which in my opinion was great).
Sometimes, I wish the so called "skill" was agreed by everyone to actually be to play on Default maps, and not boring forge variants.

Theres a reason people like me still stomp people like you on those maps. Its just stupid for 2 good teams to play each other on maps that give an inherent advantage based off a team color. There is also a reason that everyone who is good still managed to get a 1% in arena when all the AAs were still there. And a reason that people who are good were playing MLG since before the revised settings. None of us like bloom, or AAs because they involve luck. Luck ruins skill. [Edited on 05.06.2012 1:18 AM PDT]
