This whole thing seems weird, hope MLG is not collapsing or something. I've watched F Slasher, SC2 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 SC2 Report, and make the show more rare, but still keep it, imo. Educated/experienced people are actually REALLY expensive in the US. The only way to significantly cut costs for a lot of firms is layoffs. Merging the two shows while still paying all those salaries is probably not as penny pinching as you'd think. | ||

I hope all the shows find stable sponsors and are able to continue without MLG's support. | ||

It's SC Report, not "SC2 Report", sorry about that. | ||

I don't care for MLG to be branded over everything they own - hence why i stop watching SotG. So you stop watching shows you like, because they are on the MLG stream? Why would you do that?~ | ||

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. Pretty much this. I won't be surprised if we see them debut another show in early 2012 that is a weekly show with Slasher and some other MLG crew members to do a 2-3 hour eSports news + interview show. SoTG is sort of going that route but it is focusing more on the players and commentator's reactions to SC2 news and events and patch changes, where-as F*#@ Slasher and SC Report were more of a neutral, 'just the facts jack' kind of show. | ||

We've seen what has happened when MLG tries to move away from their core focus (see: Gotfrag.com). | ||
