The Eye of the Hurricane

The Eye of the Hurricane can be explained as the calm or quiet center. It is the respite given by Mother Nature in a time of chaos. You can never prevent a hurricane seeing how it is an act of Mother Nature. All that one can do is prepare in the best way possible to try and remain comfortable, safe, and even alive. Major League Gaming boarded our windows, stocked our pantries, and spoiled us to the point of carelessness. They’ve continued to build on the house that is ‘Halo’ making us more and more arrogant and feeling even more entitled to their support. Ladies and gentlemen we are now in the Eye of that Hurricane and MLG has taken down our metaphorical defenses, food, and now left us in a state of panic and has forced us to take a huge reality check. That reality check is that there is a nicer more valuable house next door, ‘StarCraft 2’.
Now we sit twiddling our thumbs and speculating about how nice it will be when the storm is over, ‘Halo 4’. We forget the glimpse of what we can do that we saw in Columbus, Ohio. And now risk the threat of permanent dependency destroying the foundation Halo was built on, Passion, excitement, and genuine drive. Major League Gaming has forced us to pick up the tools they have left and has given us the responsibility to survive. High quality streams, The Halo Council, open support from companies like Steelseries, Gamma Labs, and Bonafide Boards. Enthusiasts like the Suddoth twins making an upstart gaming company called the Console Gaming League (CGL). Now will it be the size of MLG? I wish them the best of luck and admire their enthusiasm and current success in creating widely accepted new settings. So now the question is who will inspire the fire that is our re-dedication to greatness? Who will stand strong and firmly say, “ MLG is not Halo. We, are Halo.”
