| | MLG, '''Major League Gaming''', is an unoffical sport where thousands of people play [[Halo 2]] in tournaments. Every year there is a MLG tournament called the Pro Circuit. |
|
| |
|
| '''Major League Gaming''' ('''MLG''') is the largest organized league for worldwide professional competitive gaming and tournaments. The privately held company was founded in New York City in 2002, and has now attracted competitors from over 28 countries worldwide. MLG uses several media outlets to popularize their tournaments, mainly through TV, via ESPN in the USA.

|
| MLG also posts videos, tactics, leaderboards, tips from professional gamers, and other content on the Internet. Fans can visit [http://mlgpro.com/ MLG's website] to upload their own videos to the site, and to access the content of their favorite game that MLG currently focused on, such games including ''Gears of War 2'', ''Rainbow Six: Vegas 2'', ''Call of Duty 4'', ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.
| | In the Pro Circuit 2 teams of 4 players play against each other in [[Team Slayer]], [[Team Ball]], [[CTF]], and [[Neutral Bomb|Assault]] in multiple rounds. It is cut up into 7 events, 5 regular season and 2 playoffs. The tournament is a double elimination meaning if you lose once you go from the Winner's bracket to the Loser's bracket. If you lose twice your team is out. The winners from the Winner's bracket and Loser's bracket face off against each other in a championship match. |
|
| |
|
| MLG also runs a video series in partnership with ESPN called MLG/ESPN Top Ten, in which ten short clips of unusual or exceptional ''Halo 3'' multiplayer matches of the week are presented in a quick, concise manner. Fans can submit their own videos to be considered for inclusion.<ref>http://mlgpro.com/topten</ref>
| | In each round the first team to reach 3 wins moves on. However, if 2 teams face each other a second time in the same event of the tournament then the first team to reach 6 wins moves on. |

| MLG's main function is to organize competitions and present leaderboards of the top competitors in a game. MLG's most famous tournament series is the MLG Pro Circuit, a series of five events that occur each year. In these events competitors of all games compete at various locations (usually a major city in the United States, though one event has been held in Toronto, Canada). Because MLG is fully sponsored, players competing in an MLG tournament are provided with all necessary equipment, including televisions and video game systems, but not game controllers. Some players may choose to bring their own equipment anyway to practice before the competition. Typically, each MLG tournament is held over the course of a weekend (Friday through Sunday), with the only exception being the Playoffs/Championship, which occurs over a period of four days.

| ===Pro Circuit Ladders===
| | The gametypes for the 2007 Halo 2 Pro Circuit are as followed: |
| Players wishing to participate in an MLG tournament compete in online tournaments called Pro Circuit Ladders. ''Pro Circuit Rank Points'' can be earned by winning Pro Circuit Ladders; these points determine seeding for the Pro Circuit events and often offer cash prizes. The Pro Circuit Ladder is split into two groups: the Ladder Competition and the Playoff Bracket. Top teams in the Ladder Competition, who compete over several weeks of tournaments, earn a spot in the Playoff Bracket. The Playoff Bracket is a double-elimination tournament to determine an overall victor. To enter Pro Circuit Ladders, players require MLG/Gamebattles Credits, which can be purchased from the MLG online store.

| MLG uses ''Halo 3''<nowiki/>'s [[Forge]] in order to create MLG-specific map variants for use in their events, the MLG [[Matchmaking]] [[playlist]], and GameBattles. Between the Default maps and MLG maps lie many differences. These included: Player spawns, player characteristics, weapon placements, weapon spawns, no vehicles, and no equipment.
