  • Build a good team of friends!
  • Learn to control your rage!
  • Have a strategy.
  • Don't camp in one spot the whole game. Move around. Look around corners cautiously. Always be aware of everything that's going on around you. If your on core, the mini map is your best friend. Use it!
  • Keep extra controllers handy and make sure you have extra batteries as if you are playing in a long tournament.
  • Be a team player, whether you win or lose. Remember, it is only a game even if you are playing for top position and prizes.
  • Most pro gamers play on PC due to the better accuracy with a keyboard and mouse.
  • Talk to teammates. Control the battlefield and always have a plan.
  • For CoD players, lower your sensitivity to around 5 and play League Play.
  • Use dropshots and jumpshots to beat players in gun fights. Learn map routes. Use a gaming monitor with 1 millisecond response time. Buy a Scuf controller; they help with pretty much everything and get a pair of astro a50.
  • There is no age limit to compete in an MLG event. If you are under 18 years old (19 in Alabama and Nebraska), all you need is a Parental Consent and Media Release Form signed by your parent or legal guardian, which you will hand in when you check-in at the event.

Warnings

  • Do not cheat online by using modded pads, as this will only give you a bad reputation and you will no doubt be banned from MLG tournaments.
  • Practice hard! But don't over practice. You could become unhealthy and addicted.
