I didn't watch SC report, I tried a few times but lost interest. However, F Slasher I did enjoy from time to time and I feel like Slasher put a ton of work into the show to make it as successful as he could. I think given a better time slot and maybe less exposure (not on everyday) it could have made better numbers. <3SlaSher.

I am fairly sure the decision to cancel Fuck Slasher and SC Report was not taken lightly

They couldn't touch SOTG, even if they wanted.

edit: djWHEAT should pick everything up on one more game.

Was never MLG's place to have those shows. Produce awesome events/games, and leave the community programs to the community.

At least SoTG will be around forever, it's the only one I watch anyway.

Umm......? How do you make money off of 2k viewers and 3k at most? when you have to pay at least 3-5 people to produce one of the shows you lose an absurd amount of money

I don't see the problem, Real sports leagues like the NBA have their own channels on TV that produce shows similar to the SC Report. I think MLG just wanted to slim down the content they were producing but there was nothing wrong with what they were producing.

I hope nothing happens to state of the game. I love watching it every week.

Never really watched much of the SC report or !@#$ slasher, but I loved the mlg faq. Will be sad to see that go. Will be interesting to see if other managements or shows start up something similar to the shows that were cancelled.

I'm thinking they want to cut out all of the extraneous stuff and make the actual events bigger and better. I could be wrong of course, but come january and we will see. I'm gonna hazzard a wild guess and say that the cost/reward of these shows<cost/reward of an upgraded MLG event.

Again, just a random guess.

What difference would it make if they cancelled sotg. In all likelihood the guys would still do it anyway just not under the mlg label

I don't watch anything aside from SotG but it's sad nonetheless that these are all ending. Best of luck to everyone involved.

I actually watched SC Center a lot preMLG, then refused to watch it once it went to MLG. Obviously that did no good to support Chobopeons cause, but really.. I don't care for MLG to be branded over everything they own - hence why i stop watching SotG.

Based on Sundance's tweet I'd say there just doing what every other firm in the US is doing. The economy sucks and trimming fat is priority number 1. They probably lasted as long as they did because they were already budgeted through the end of the year, but there wasn't room for them in next years budget.

If they touch SotG, the shitstorm will be bigger than all the drama conspiracy booms of 2011 joined together.

This whole thing seems weird, hope MLG is not collapsing or something. I've watched F Slasher, SC Report every now and then (not very regularly, but also haven't missed many, and have often checked the VODs) ; and even one Julie show in which she interviewed Day[9]. While these shows were running, quite a lot of news happened on them, and the best source in such occasions was the show itself.

If MLG needs to squeeze budgets etc, then maybe they should join the teams of F Slasher and SC Report, and make the show more rare, but still keep it, imo.

I wouldn't be surprised if MLG ended their affiliation with SOTG as well. However, I do not believe JP will let the show die. Artosis is employed by GOM, but obviously is allowed on SOTG and looks like he has free rein to say whatever he pleases. I would imagine if JP stays with MLG in a tournament organizer/caster role, he will keep SOTG.

That's my positive spin opinion, anyway. I wish Chobo, JP and all the other guys (except Slasher XD) the best in 2012.
