So, all over these forums you see people bashing on the e-sports community. People bash on their "inability to adapt." They say "pro" players use the e-sports rules as a crutch. All too often do I see people say that IEDs, C4, etc. aren't in GB/MLG rules because of an inability for "pro" players to adapt to these things. Overall, the community largely complains about it's MLG/GB brethren. Many other games (eg Halo) have a specific ruleset for their esports play. These rules are determined by groups of individuals (pro players) that devotes days to learning the games and finding the most balance, skillful ruleset.
Now, I don't do GBs nor am I MLG by any means; however, I am not ignorant enough to believe that I know more about skill or CoD than people that devote huge portions of their lives to this game. I would like to know, though, why other people think so lowly of the e-sports community. Is it ignorance/arrogance? Or is this community filled with prodigious gamers that never venture into e-sports?
