NOTE: Most of the reports and articles I found had different reasons for MLG not signing Halo. Nobody wanted to sponsor Halo (Mountain Dew begs to differ), Halo is too user friendly (I believe that it requires more skill then any other console shooter), and relations between the two have been sour.
Q: Is it upsetting?
A: Of course. MLG has been with Halo for nearly a decade. It's like losing a close friend.
Q: Does this signal the fall of Halo?
A: Hell no. Halo has already established a large following, and Microsoft won't let Halo fall apart. Money.
Q: Will halo leave the competitive gaming scene?
A: No, it still holds its own when compared to fps console shooters. Halo will continue to thrive. MLG already have their fame thanks to Halo, now its someone elses turn. It could be Agl or even Virgin Gaming. There are numerous smaller leagues like MLG that is waiting for a chance to work with Halo. Then there is Virgin Gaming. While the Infinity Challenge doesn't require much skill, it is vg's first attempt for Halo. It proves to be popular with the Halo fans when looking at the playlists populations. VG has already made their footprint with sports titles such as the nba 2k series. VG may be the next step for themselves and for Halo.
Remember, it can only get better.
