Updated Questions!
Some questions I thought might be needed to start off the discussion:

How do you guys think this LAN will go?
What are your predictions?
Who do you see contesting for the winner of the Tournament?
How do you think these newly formed teams will do with their current roster?
Do you see any breakout players on these Teams?

Discuss!

Will update in accordance to everything that happens.

Sorry about being late, Got caught up with Exams

SyA will not be attending due to a scheduling conflict!!

[DYNASTYBLUE2]

i think the lan will go great to see all the new teams and the teams that stayed together do on the new game i think SyA has a lil over the other teams but dont count out the pro teams. Its gonna be a great tourny idk what teams will come mabey the new bth and sq but we will see.

I agree, most of the pro teams know what to look for in the game and have players like T2 and Ogre 2 who have gone through the transitioning of different halo's numerous times which will help FB and Instinct greatly. I think it will be a fun experience to say the least.

[Sinstar94]

I think SyA will probably start off really dominant but Instinct and FB will catch up as the weekend progresses and the matches will get a lot closer towards the end of saturday and sunday.

[Lefthanded]

Gonna be a close lan i think.....or FB+SyA > Instinct.

[Annexin]

Definitely gonna be close, Thinking SyA will do really well

[Luke]

I'm thinking Final Boss will dominate and pistola will go off!

[Cheeky]

Gonna be a close lan i think.....or FB+SyA > Instinct.

Why you think Instinct isn't going to be up to par with FB and SyA, the lineup?

[Monk3y]

I've been a FB fan for a little while now so I'm hoping they win it but I've never seen the SyA team play yet so things are kinda unexpected seeing as it's a totally new game. Also kinda want to see some more teams in the top so hoping SyA does good.

[Jewjitsu]

SyA will do really well. I'm really excited to see the new instinct, i can't wait to hear what the best communication ever sounds like.

[Descendant]

I'm expecting it to be a fantastic LAN.

[aSAB3R]

really excited to see how FB adapts to reach

[DaMuSiCFiEnD]

This is going to be a good LAN.

[Waterboy7]

Finally .... OMG Cant wait :)

[Smallz08]

I can't wait for this LAN as well. I hope that HaE get invited they did really well in Dallas. thoughts?

[MichaelMongrel]

They need a 4th though. :/

[DaMuSiCFiEnD]

They need a 4th though. :/

i can sub lol

[Antidote]

I'm really interested to see this new instinct team. Depending how things go i might become a fan.

[Psyclone]

I'm thinking Final Boss will dominate and pistola will go off!

Considering the amount of time SYA have had with Reach i think the will dominate.

[Crinkly Duke]

Is FB still confirmed for this? On the TLN Talk Mr. P didn't mention FB (and I think he says "maybe" FB on the first episode), just Instinct, VS, and SyA.

[Juiceeeebox]

Can't Wait To watch it i say: Instinct FTW

[Cheeky]

Mr P said that It would be FB, Instinct, SyA, there was no confirmation on any other teams that Ik of, but I can try to check for you

[MS eMeRaLd]

i hope that warriors are there, i won't predict who will win i'll to see the first day of the LAN before i do that

[Monk3y]

I really can't wait for the LAN, gonna be the first time I buy a pass on the site so pretty excited to see how they are. I'm rooting for Final Boss all the way ^_^

[DROpher]

Hey everyone! I noticed Rob "Cheeky" put this up and wanted to say that Victorious Secret was invited through the help of some friends of ours :)

As far as I know, Swift Kill spoke with Mr. P. Final Boss I believe will not be attending but attending the WinterLAN instead. Instinct was confirmed (for obvious reasons). I caught word that SyA would no longer be attending because Blaze has class on that following Monday but I cannot confirm this so hopefully Rob can. Gimme My Money was extended an invitation, I've known Austin for a little while and I know these guys will show up to compete. I was told other possibilities were sQ, Carbon, and tD. Although I don't think Carbon will be there, or tD (obvious reasons).

Hopefully an official and final list of the teams who will be attending is put up soon!

@Rob - I hope you guys are actually still going, be cool to chill with you guys.

@Juicebox - Yo, I'm from Rowlett too, graduated from Rockwall High School, my family owns Kyoto Japanese Steakhouse :)

[Ermine]

I pretty much would like to see the skill level of each team, and how they'll do in reach. I've played with pistola a bit, and his shot is pretty damn solid. Also had a game against BtH and saw thier team skill level. Im anxious to see how well these players okay together in reach :) :P. I agree with Sinstar completely though, SyA will be very good at the beginning, then the other teams will catch up :).

[DreameR_ProV1]

im hoping instinct does well. id also like to see how sya competes with top tier pros.

It's really gonna suck if Final Boss and SyA can't go because those were the two teams I wanted to mainly watch. :\

[Micallus]

Today I heard that SyA won't be able to attend anymore. The reason I was giving was scheduling conflicts. I was really looking forward to seeing them match up with these other teams now that dallas is over and they have barely practiced sense then.

[Crinkly Duke]

Same here, I was so amped to just see how FB would play at this. Oh well as long as they are at the winterLAN thing, that's good enough for me.

[DROpher]

I did just get final word that SyA cannot attend :( it makes me sad.

[ThisGuyPwnage]

id like to see victorious secret there. but regardless id like to see this go down.. will it be on Jtv

[heuer89]

Um no... This thread is about the LAN happening here on the LAN network at the new Gaming House...

[Panda]

Im exciteddd :D

This will be the first LAN that I'm going to purchase, since I will be able to watch it without having to work :D

[Antidote]

I know I'm excited, now that I have a job giving me hours I'll be purchasing the membership need to watch this.

[MichaelMongrel]

I did just get final word that SyA cannot attend :( it makes me sad.

Dang it, arguably the best Reach team so far won't be there... that's no good.

[garymcbride]

So who exactly is going to be attending this? Because its 1 week away and it does not look sorted out at all, i really cant see this LAN happening if sYa is not attending.

[Kwame]

I think this new Instinct lineup is going to suprise a few people. Not that he wasn't in H3, but Lunch has been a beast at Reach so far, he just doesnt die. I'm excited to see he and Antz run objective all day while Roy and Tom do everything else. It seems to me at the end of H3, none of the top teams had a "main slayer", they had all realized that everyone, has to do everything. In my very humble ,uneducated opinion, all 4 of these guys can do everything...just my two cents.

Flameswords Beard to win first event MVP...

[iHade]

Flameswords Beard to win first event MVP...

LOL he needs a challenger..

[HavkinKnight]

so who are the teams besides Instinct and VS?

[KayBeSee]

I just saw this on the front page. What teams are attending, I see there are four teams on the graphic but only three in this post?

Let me know, I like seeing these Top AM teams (now Pro) coming here to LAN.

[heuer89]

Let me know, I like seeing these Top AM teams (now Pro) coming here to LAN.

According to the images on the front page the teams are Victorious Secret (Top Left), Gimme My Money (Top Right), Instinct (Bottom Right), and I think that the other team might be Second Nature. I'm not sure about the last one but maybe someone that knows that logo can come in here and let us all know. :)

[-Trigga]

^^^^ Second Nature that is correct.

[heuer89]

^^^^ Second Nature that is correct.

Awesome! Thank you good sir! It will be nice seeing some new players at these LANs! :)

[ThisGuyPwnage]

i think will be amazing to see.. im hoping to see what amish acorns has to offer.. i also wanna see more of what sicker than yo average has to offer..

[Jewjitsu]

i thought SyA was confirmed? that sucks if they're not going, i really wanted to see them

[YeaaaBooo0i]

so Final Boss isn't going now? I'm sooo confused.

[Crim]

I really want T2 to start doing well again! Been a fan of his sense I started following MLG in 07 because he lived in my hometown, Syracuse.

[Harsh]

IMO, LAN will go great. Great publicity for MLG and TLN with the first Reach LAN. I think teams will be learning a lot as the LAN progresses. Pro teams to dominate. Now that they've been practicing, I don't think other teams will be able to do much. Teams to invite: SQ, BtH, Triggers Down.

[Vitality]

I cant wait to see Second Nature

[Antidote]

I really wanted to see Sya play against some of the pros in this LAN. Can't wait to see how they perform.

[DROpher]

Unfortunately SyA did not confirm a couple weeks ago. Scheduling conflict is from what I understand. This will be a great LAN though, we promise to put on a good show :)

No doubts about this. I'm pumped for it.

[Justin21]

What team is the wolf? darkest hour?

[-Trigga]

Second Nature.

[Antidote]

Where are you guys seeing these logos?

[Vitality]

On the main page in the top right corner

[Antidote]

Yup, so don't see it.

Edit: Nevermind, apparently my browser was blocking it somehow. Weird.

Try emptying your cache. i just did that, and the pics showed up.

[Crim]

Who is on second nature anyway? I saw their gamebattles team but it's a bunch of players at the moment?

[Vitality]

FeaR, Arkanum, Goatzi, Trigga

[Crim]

Thanks I like arkanum played with him a few times but I'm not sure about the others I know fear has that halo tips site I think and was a top player and goatzi, trigga placed top 8 in Dallas reach sounds like a solid squad to me! Can't wait for this lan I'll watch some it but I'm also heading to NJ halo this weekend.

[Vitality]

yeah i'm actually steve (fears) web designer. i live 5 mins from him and it just amazes me the way he plays. their team will definitely be solid

(and on a side note.... fearzhalolessons.com has been totally revamped and will be released sometime around december 17-18)

[Brixxx]

I thought SyA was supposed to be at the first LAN at the new gaming house ?

[DROpher]

There was a scheduling conflict unfortunately so SyA couldn't go.

[Brixxx]

Thank you for clearing that up,so they are staying together for the opener then. (rumor was they split up)

[TheHangout]

Thank you for clearing that up,so they are staying together for the opener then. (rumor was they split up)

Nope the boys are still together...it was just a scheduling issue and if they were gonna go...they wanted to be it to be the whole team..no alts.

The Hangout....Proud Sponsors of SyA

Sorry Guys, I've been busy with finals and just finished today!

See you soon Leigh!


OP HAS BEEN UPDATED ENJOY!!

[KayBeSee]

This is going to be a good LAN, I can tell. These low seeded pro teams are going to benefit a ton from this.

[Cheeky]

I completely Agree, not only will they be able to hangout with the members of Instinct, but they will gain valuable experience from a LAN of this caliber.

Can't wait to see this go down! Im gonna b watching my laptop a lot this weekend, GSL3 and this.....

[DROpher]

I'll miss you Rob :(

[THC28]

Although I love GMM Im going to have to go with
1. vS
close behind
2. Instinct
3. GMM
4. Second Nature

This because vS has had more time to play the game, but Instincts pro experience will show how they are able to adapt!

Good luck to all the teams :)

[Sticky]

[ReFlex]

apparently 8pm Central

[Fir3]

Its past 8pm lol

[SL0WandP41NFUL]

1 hour later -_-

[CT Legacy]

You know it never starts on time lol its takes a lot of coordination i'm sure and then a bunch of warm ups and everything, also I predict Vs to do very well, watch out for Ninja, he's one of the best around!

[THC28]

This is very laggy for 11$

[-Drewsky-]

Why hasn't anyone from the new house post the schedule to the stream. Does anybody know around what time the stream will be back on?

[shrEd Gein]

I believe they are gonna start around 4 Central today.
