I'm glad Chobo kept back the SC Center name; I was kinda surprised they decided to change it when they started up with MLG, but in the light of this it makes perfect sense. It's a totally awesome show and I will definitely seek it out and watch regardless of where it's being put together and the production values involved. I just hope it continues to exist somewhere! | ||

Very disappointing news... I feel without F Slasher there is no other decent e-sports journalism? | ||

It also makes sense from a financial aspect. We have to remember the community has been clamoring for MLG to improve their prize pool, the quality of their high-quality streams, and so on, as well as the fact pros have been asking for a while for a dedicated pro area. While MLG did grow amazingly over the past year, we don't know their financials. What we do know is it seems like they have a strict business plan, and money doesn't grow on trees. If they wanted to improve their tournament product and the growth of 2011 wasn't enough to do so then cuts needed to be made in other places to improve what is their main product, the tournament series. So while it stinks, and I enjoyed those shows, it does make sense. I wish the timing had been better, letting people go and cancelling things right before Christmas and the new year was pretty Grinch-like to those directly involved. That said, I see Scoots tweeting about a new Slasher show already, and Chobopeon's in this very thread talking about bringing SC Center back (who knows, maybe OneMoreGame.tv is the place to go in the future for "television" SC2 journalism), so at the end of the day this may end up being a good thing. | ||

I don't think they will stop doing these shows completely, maybe they will merge into 1 good show ;-) SC Center was a very good concept in my opinion, hopefully it will not die! Also State of the Game could need some refreshment... ah and... fuck slasher! ;-) | ||

Watch Slasher's show, he might often be the only one on camera, but he has a producer at least, and getting the guests and preparing the topics actually take a lot of time, and the show will often run like 2+ hours, it's a very big time commitment. | ||

You know you sometimes say stupid stuff, but at least I think there will be a hole in the place where your show (and SC Report as well) used to be. The scene seems to be too big by now for Lo3 to fill by itself. A weekly show instead perhaps at some point? | ||
