The Slasher show only needs to be a weekly segment, it's just none sense to have it daily. Regarding SOTG, they need a shakeup in the cast, there's too many 1 race (protoss) represented.

F Slasher was an amazing show, the starcraft community (and gaming community in general) really needs people like him who are not afraid to rustle a few feathers.

Im sick of all the nepotistic ego-stroking friends club content that is produced.

SOTG is fun, but its rubbish for news and honest views.
LO3 is good too, but its EG-centric.
Inside the game was awful, don't know if its even going.

Slasher was our beacon of hope

, the only one brave enough to call out his friends and enemies alike.

I wonder if there was some type of crazy news that came out of MLG, or possibly new direction? I'm just lost at this point...

It's not that I don't like Slasher, I just don't like hearing his opinions. So I avoid his show like the plague. But then everyone parrots and spreads it, eventually to me.

Kinda glad he's going off the air.
SC Report on the other hand ;;

the content of the shows where really bad and the View count was not enough for actually paying them wages. Plus they actually had support staff in studio. Makes no sense to run these weird "sportcenter" type shows for 1k people. It was nothing but a money sink.

Also lo3 / slasher spend way too much time each show recapping things people that care already know

If they fucking take away SOTG....

State of the Game was around before MLG took over. It will be fine.

While it is a shame MLG is discontinuing there shows, I have a feeling that the shows will still exist in some other medium, like SC centre used to be on youtube daily and state of the game has existed long before MLG took interest.

I did like F slasher but I feel the show title really needs reworked as it's too offensive for the random viewer who sees it.

I really liked Fuck Slasher. Sotg is entertainment which is fun, but Fuck Slasher is actual journalism which we don't have enough of.

Mmm... downsizing/layoffs and now this? Not exactly sure what to make of this, but with the obvious increased growth in esports/sc2 I can only assume Sundance/MLG know what they're doing.

Personally I never really watched SCReport/FSlasher (wasn't interested and didn't have the time during that time of the day) so I'm not sad to see those go; however, I will be extremely sad if they also cancel SotG... then again, SotG is vastly more popular than the aforementioned AND it's only on once a week (relatively low maintenance you can assume, well at least low maintenance to fslasher/screport).

As someone previously mentioned, SotG will still carry on even if MLG doesn't "run" it.

Never really watched Fuck Slasher but I always enjoyed the 'starcraft report'. This is a real shame, it would be nice to hear an explanation from MLG.

Guess I have no reason to bookmark MLGPRO.COM now. Thanks for helping me clear unwanted space. TT

The only show i really care about is state of the game. Hopefully that stays. I always honestly found slasher a little annoying

Well, I'm sure they have some reason for doing this. I hope MLG can give us some sort of statement confirming why so that we don't need to guess. Would be nice to at least know, they were good shows. I really liked F Slasher and he always got some great interviews.
