| Halo 3’s inaugural season on the MLG Pro Circuit is paving the way for a new generation of professional gamers to pick up where some of their predecessors have left off. However, these teams will need to possess even more talent and dedication than teams of the past. This fact is largely due to MLG’s ever-expanding player base. By waltzing through the Winners Bracket en route to an impressive second-place finish at the 2008 Pro Circuit season-opener, Classic proved they have what it takes to fit this mold. And with a growing trophy case that also includes first place in the MLG Holiday 4v4 Tournament, first place in MLG’s E for All event, and first place in the Old Spice-sponsored GameBattles Fall Season Playoffs, Classic’s legitimacy in the league is now impossible to overlook. We pulled up a chair with Fear, Ant, and Soldier187 to talk about the past, present, and future of Classic. MLG: Great job this weekend fellahs! You guys played incredibly well throughout the weekend. How confident were you coming into the event? 
Classic's debut on the Pro Circuit was extremely impressive.
Ant: Thank you. Yeah, we were pretty confidently after playing with FB. MLG: We’ll touch on the LAN with Final Boss in a bit more detail later. For now though, tell us about how it feels to be pro gamers for the first time? Ant: It feels amazing to finally be an MLG pro! Fear: Feels great! It’s always been a goal for me to achieve pro status. It feels especially good being the second seed heading into San Diego. Soldier187: It feels awesome to finally get the recognition we deserve for our skills. Fear: One more thing, I would like to thank every member of our team for their dedication. We worked extremely hard to get where we are. Congrats guys! MLG: Group hug? Team: (laughs) MLG: Let’s talk about your success prior to Meadowlands. You guys dominated nearly every competition you entered in the months after Halo 3’s release. Do you think that played a part in your success? |
