All I know is that, over in Korea, professional RTS playing is crazy popular. The pros are like movie stars over there. It's freaky. Anyways, I think Halo Wars is the perfect game for breaking RTS games into the American and European mainstream professional gaming culture. It has a built in fanbase that is astronomically large, and, because it's Halo, it takes away alot of the "nerd" factor that is usually associated with RTS's. The only thing yet to be seen is exactly how "competitive" this game will really be. If has no depth, then it will not make it to MLG. If it does, who knows.
