Is is moving in the wrong direction when your direction hasn't changed since last year? From what I see, they are in the same place, which is better than the competition if the competition has to keep changing to keep up.
Also this point:
-MLG went to Xbox One instead of PS4
Whoever sponsors them is what they will do it on. MLG should be a level playing field, so all controllers/button layout/method of control should be up the player, even if that is Xbox controller, mouse and keyboard, DS3/4 or even a wii mote if they want. MLG is broken in this respect.
