According to TIG, there would be no more MSL in the near future.
The article mentioned that MBC Game has been preparing for "channel switch" from gaming to music, which it's been reported at July, 2011 by TIG. Recently, for that reason, MBC game underwent some internal restructuring and made a contract with one of the music tune website, hiring the producer who specialize at music-related programming.
The article states all e-sports league (MSL, Tekken Crash, STX Cup) from MBC Game which are still in progress, those would be the last run and no more new-or-continued e-sports league from them in the future. All BW or gaming-related programming like (Sungchoon Show, Star infinite Challenge, Show! Funny Replay, etc) are also shutting down.
Even if the player for MSL are already determined through Survivor Tornament and still in progress, but it seems the hosting of MSL is nearly impossible.
The article also states that MBC Game was trying to do their best to follow their policy like "If there is a league still in progress, we will see it to the end." commented by an anonymous MBC Game employee. But it said that they failed to made a deal with several companies or corporations for sponsoring MSL.
An anonymous MBC Game employee also commented that BW-based e-sports league has been facing an severe downturn and we kept trying to continue BW league even if the only thing we had is a deficit. But since MBC Game decided to switch the channel from gaming to music, there would be no way to continue MSL with a deficit again.
By the way, the article states that MBC game also give up the broadcasting of Proleague 11-12. MBC Game did discuss about the broadcasting of Proleague with KeSPA. But they decide not to broadcast Proleague 11-12.

I feel like my heart just broke again. I kept holding onto that tiny flicker of hope, that maybe they'd pull it through just one last time. It feels like such an unceremonious end, to just cancel after all the players made it through survivor and no goodbye episode or whatever. I hope OGN is doing better and won't end up following the same path any time soon.

MSL was really the first tournament that drew me in fully to the Korean scene, I always liked everything better about MSL than OSL. I watched pretty much all of Arena, when I got first really introduced to the pro-scene. Still remember the intensity and edge-of-the-seat feeling I got from watching Kal and fOrGG's Round of 8 match. And the awe I felt watching fOrGG take down Flash (lol14ccEVERYgame) and then Jaedong 3-0 (huwha???).
Since then I've always made a point to follow MSLs even if I wasn't fully paying attention. It feels like a piece of me died today.
