Gave you a Thumbs Up hitmonchan, hope you get the gig. You're an entertaining writer.
Edit: @ AlienShogun, this weekend there is a LAN going on among 5 top Halo Reach teams, there are a couple POV streams on Justin.tv that can give you a better sense of competitive Reach. Their main site is thelannetwork.com, I think they are going with a free stream now, so if you setup an account you can watch there. They will be playing today and tomorrow for hours upon hours. So give it a look and re-assess your opinion. Watching the Suddoths play Reach on XBL doesn't give you a very good look at competitive Reach.
I also think Starcraft 2 will take the mantle as the Flagship for MLG, SC2 has global appeal and is a better crafted competitive game. If MLG can do it right, it will flourish in their league.
