[Tidus]

Hello everybody, I am new to the MLG community and would like to know how you receive pro status? Also, do the pro bracket and open bracket meet up at all or not?

I don't understand, nice vid but do you have to have been playing since Halo: CE (lol)... I'm confused...

[chris_cr33p]

you have to do a number of things

It was a joke. Notice one of the players in the video is named Clockwork. Lol.

But honestly, you have to have at least some natural skill first, then put a lot of quality practice in.

You have to place high enough, usually the top 16, enough times to:
1. Accumulate enough points
2. Hold a seed in the top 16

Once you hold a seed in the top 16 you are considered professional.

Championship bracket and open bracket do meet after Winners round 5 or Losers round 7.

This lol:P

[theBEAST385]

Beaver Creek! Awesome map, but yeah u gotta hold sixteenth seed. It doesn't sound too hard, but it really is.

[Havoc]

How? Find someone better than you, play with/against them until you're better them, repeat until you can't find anyone better than you. Then go to some tourneys. :)

[darkon124]

lol i really though havoc was krillin....

Haha. Well our Avatars are similar. The difference is in the face. Pirate vs. Spartan.

[Tidus]

I liked what Havoc said, but you know how tournaments are broken up into pro bracket and open bracket... Well how do you meet up in the two brackets? How do you make top 16 if there are only 16 teams competing on one bracket? Do they connect at one point?

reread joe fries post a little closer and you will find your answer.

[Makin]

Actually if you make an income of any amount by playing video games your considered "Pro". But if you want to be know then I suggest you follow Joe Fries tips.

I thought he was KRILLIN too. Was thinking "Did I post in here yet?"

Lolz Krillin <3

[HavkinKnight]

lol krillin and yes once you reach a point (normaly when you swap from split screen to full screen) is when the brackets combine.

[Makin]

LOL Krillin cracks me up!

[KRILLIN]

LOL Krillin cracks me up!

Yeah, he has Pro Status in funny. OT Joe Fries pretty much wrapped this puppy up already.

[ZeroCool]

You have a long road ahead of you...

[LeftyB]

You might consider a name change before you start your journey...

see MichaelMongrel's post for reason.

Haha yeah, having the same name as a legend in the game is going to get you some unnecessary flaming.

[RagingChickens]

In that 2v2, was that Clockwork and Saiyan's POV? I assume so because they were getting destroyed.

[Chilley]

at the end of the season your points must be at least equal to the number of points awarded for placing top 16 all season long, or be a combine finalist

[animalxpert]

I really want to go Pro, If you have any tips please message me GT: animalxpert Thanks!

Joe Fries put it very well in his post. Practice hard, make friends and prove yourself at events.

[RagingChickens]

You really need to go to an event and pull of some flashy moves, get a good placing, and just turn some heads. That's how it all starts.

Can you explain InSaiyan...

[MichaelMongrel]

Tack a small work onto Clockwork I guess. I really don't approve of the InSaiyan using the name he does... but then again, I can't do anything about it.

[KRILLIN]

Can you explain InSaiyan...

Believe me, he's caught flak for that. And his is different enough I guess that he can get away with it because it's kind of a play on words.

[TheOutlaw]

In the end its all about points. Earn a high enough ranking in the AM brackets and gain the right to fight in the Pro brackets. Earn enough points in the Pro bracket to be 16th seed or higher in Pro bracket. Thus you become a Pro

[Gearijigu]

practice,practice,practice, and then you also gotta have a little bit of luck with who you meet and so forth also get out and go to some events
