I was just watching a MLG game and the names of the players were quite simple, like clutch and enable. I want to know how these guys get their names without having to whack on a whole bunch of numbers and x's. They're all quite young, and I don't believe that as soon as Xbox Live was online that they went and snapped up these simple names. When the commentators were talking about the players as clutch and enable, I expected that these were their names in a shortened format, but when I watched the game I saw that indeed these guys had short one word names. I ask here only because I have nowhere else to ask.

so MLG players are magically the first people to register them?

Well not really, names like clutch and cloud would go very fast when registering for Xbox Live. I was curious how those names fell to MLG players.

How do they use it only in Tournaments? Is it like an offline account, or a LAN account?
