As long as SOTG is unaffected, I don't care. The other shows were nice but losing SOTG would really hurt.


I share the same sentiments. I never watched Fuck Slasher or SC report because I didn't really have the time.

Didn't really watch any of those shows, but this is kinda shocking to me.
Good thing SOTG is way to popular for them to close it.

I love how he says "No offical comment" but then follows that up with "Lean and Mean in 2012." Mean is certainly right if they don't even think this is PR document worthy.

I think this primarily means is that MLG doesn't want to become the eSports/SC2 online channel that SC2 Center/F*** Slasher/SOTG was taking them down... this probably also means less streams from them outside of MLG events.

I suppose this could have something to do with all that TV/ESPN stuff Sundance was talking about earlier in the year. His tweet suggests that something bigger is on the horizon and I think that would be a logical conclusion.

After all maybe Slasher will keep up to his promise from IPL3/MLG Orland (that if foreign wins these tours he will quit journalism)

SotG generates too much traffic. Probably had a threshold the other shows needed to come to but could not, so they got pulled.

I really hope Slasher tries to get it back or make his own f slasher in some form. I looked forward to it every day when I woke up.

Seems like a really weird move...

SOTG brings in too much blingbling, TBH. No way it's getting dropped.

Is it possible they are going to have other content in its place. They were talking about online leagues and what not.

This is a bit sad, people just seem to care about State of the Game, which is fun, but quite useless in terms of sparking discussions and giving spotlight, coverage and interview time to up-and-coming players who the SOTG pillars aren't friends with which is exactly what Fuck Slasher in particular provided.

I hope we'll see something similar to Fuck Slasher again from someone, be it under the MLG flag or not and I sincerely hope that chobopeon revives SC Report and fills the role as the independent esports journalist again, which suits him better than the MLG work anyway, imho. He always seemed a bit restrained on the MLG shows.

I really liked F Slasher because it didn't just have SC news, it had esports news. Learned a couple of things about the other games and communities. Hope we'll see something like it.

omg talk abot ruining e-sports culture. I hope slasher finds an alternative broadcaster but chobo can do whatever he wants. SOTG is only good because artosis is there.

Nooo! !@#$ Slasher is really good, I really hope they don't do anything to SotG.
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞
