![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() MAJOR LEAGUE GAMING
February 2009 Champion MLG was started in 2002 by Mike Sepso and Sundance DiGiovanni and took on a lofty goal: to form a league, and enough buzz to actually turn video game addicts into professional athletes. Fast forward 7 years and its clearly mission accomplished. They have a television show on ESPN, prizes as large as $100K, tournaments all over the country, and have enabled hundreds of gamers to go professional. In 2008 they signed a deal with Dr. Pepper to put pictures of professional Halo players on 175 million bottles. Think about that for a second, that's not Michael Jordan on a soda bottle, its Tsquared, a guy who plays Halo for a living. Did anyone notice? PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS PHOTOGRAPHED WITH AN MLG BOTTLE ON INAGURATION DAY. Vote for MLG because you know you had promise when you were 16, your parents didn't see it, but you damn well knew you were the greatest Double Dragon player on the planet. There just wasn't a future in doing that for a living... back then.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() SABER TOOTHED DEER
It Lives!!! in the form of the Chinese Water Deer and the Musk Deer. The Saber Toothed Deer looks exactly like a normal deer, except that it is a little bit furrier and instead of antlers it has giant saber tooth tiger teeth. These teeth are retractable and can be moved out of the way when eating, or thrust forward to fight. They live mostly in China and Korea, but there are small populations in Britain and France where they escaped from zoos and began populating on their own.

As well as he was playing at Dallas I'd give him two green guns, and he'd still end up on top. Granted he's fighting a plant, but still.

Think of MLG as a Box, and the deer as Zyos. You know what happens.

What does he need those teeth for?
reply
The male Chinese water deer are very territorial. They will bite and sometimes kill each other if another male gets too close. (awesome) During the rutting season, males will also fight for prospective mates. (also awesome)
reply
killing the rare saber tooth turtle, of course
reply
what saber tooth turtle?
reply
it's very rare.

Sorry to bring this up, but shouldn't there be a hyphen? Like "Saber-Toothed," since that's adjectival?
I just think hyphens are awesome. reply
LOL, Olav, always looking for the awesome in awesome...
