Xbox 360 Crash halts Major League Gaming win

[HELPERS]

magine the scene, you are a professional gamer and gaming is your life. You are just seconds away from a victory in a tournament, however the host Xbox 360 just suddently CRASHES on you and renders your near certain victory void. And that's exactly what happened to one unlucky pro gamer.

Major League Gaming held its Halo 3 National Championship in Orlando, Florida this weekend. Seeded first, many believed that the team Triggers Down would win the championship for the third year in a row, but they never got the chance. They would have at least advanced past the semi-finals had an Xbox 360 not malfunctioned in the closing seconds of a match in which Triggers Down was about to defeat Classic. Classic lost to Believe The Hype in the finals.

Playing Halo CTF, Triggers Down had all 4 team members of Classic dead, and only had to turn in the flag in order to win the match and proceed ot the next bracket. But just as the player Heinz was about to turn it in, the hosting Xbox froze up. According to MLG rules, when there is a hardware failure of any kind, the entire round is eligible for a replay. In the do-over, Classic beat Triggers Down by a score of 5-2 and advanced.

back to the original post. The clan must have been pissed off when they lost. The end of the day they did get to play another round and lost it anyway. What can you do all hardware fails from time to time, just it always seems to fail when its needed lol.

Back on topic.

If they were going to win the competion why didn't they beat them again? Sour grapes, frustrating maybe, but if you are simply that good they would have won the second time??
