I am actually hoping for a tournament in the deep south next year. Possibly New Orleans. It would be awesome if they could make that happen.

We're hard at work finalizing details about 2012–get ready, because you'll be seeing some very major Pro Circuit announcements next week. While setting up the new Season, we've been taking a very close look at our broadcast schedule, and we've decided to shift our focus entirely towards competition coverage. We've also come to believe–and we hope you'll agree–that the greater world of eSports is best served by community-driven journalism, independent of a connection to any particular League. With that in mind, MLG and State of The Game (SotG) have mutually and amicably decided to part ways. JP was first to raise the issue with us, and we agree and back his choice fully. In order for the show to best serve the community, SotG will return to its roots, becoming fully independent once more, and will no longer be broadcast on MLG.tv. Going forward, the live show will air on twitch.tv, and VOD will be posted on JP's YouTube channel. JP will be posting more details on his personal blog soon.

The show will begin airing at its new home on January 19th, at 7pm EST.

Weekly Warfare and the MLG Weekly will continue to air on MLG.tv, along with new shows that will be announced over the next few weeks. Please stay tuned for additional announcements about MLG's new Broadcast Lineup and the 2012 Pro Circuit.

please not Columbus again. Chicago is way better for the majority of Midwestern fans due to the different transportation that could be taken there.

Are you kidding me? MLG Columbus was the highlight of the year. It game MLG the turn-around it needed after the miserable failure in Dallas. Columbus set the tone for the rest of they year-- it set a multitude of precedents, and it was the reason StarCraft II was on the main stage in Anaheim.

Chicago would be a silly decision. Parking would be a nightmare, and the cost of the venue alone would drive up ticket prices twofold. It's a great city, but it wouldn't be a good decision this season.

I don't care where they do it. Just get a venue with fast food options! MLG Orlando last October at Gaylord Palms Resort was horrible! Oh my goodness, I don't know where to start. How about the overpriced sushi that wasn't even half the quality I could get here on a daily basis in iced-out Minnesota! No McDonald's, no nothing within walking distance. Seriously, I don't even know what the players ate to sustain a high energy level.

I loved MLG Orlando. There seemed to be a way of ordering food that people discovered on the second day. Either way, the Gaylord Palms was a beautiful venue.
