MLG is going for the big buisness model, can't have some dumbass like slasher giving you a bad image while you're trying to make it big time.

I'm a little bit sad that F*** Slasher is going away, but I hope that this means MLG will back off of SotG and it will return to something closer to it's roots, though I think that's unlikely.

I enjoyed Fuck Slasher quite a bit as it was a way to get some of my gaming news, not just SC related content, without having to dig through news sites and forums.

I can also see more podcast opportunities, which are much less upkeep, can be produced by a single person, and don't require the visual component. Monetizing comes through episode sponsorship versus streamed commercials. And it's more convenient. Plus, am I one of the few who thought the frequency of a show like #@%! Slasher was a bit high, especially given the platform and amount of non-MLG content that comes out on a daily basis (ie not much at all)?

I'm interested to see the new platform. Change sucks, but it is necessary. Thanks to Slasher and the crew for all their work. Best of luck guys...

As of right now this sounds like the dumbest thing to come out of MLG in my 6 years of being apart of their community. Really makes zero sense and I wish they would just fucking announce their shit already.

I tried to watch SC Report (aka SC Center) every time it was on and usually checked out Fuck Slasher when he had SC2 personalities on. Suck that they'll end. Hopefully Chobopeon and JP keeps doing SC Center even though it's off MLG.

Would be very surprised if they did anything to SotG, considering the huge following it has.

SOTG hasnt changed though. it was the same before and after MLG took over. the only difference is the site where you watch it (and, i think, but do not know, that the episodes are uploaded faster now).

Another difference was hearing "Anna, do you like horses?" on every break in MLG

It feels much more commercialized though, with JP constantly trying to juggle commercials in and stick to a timetable for everything. And it also seems (to me at least) that since it became higher profile everyone involved was trying to stick to a more professional attitude instead of the somewhat more relaxed appearance from the earlier SotG shows. Just my two cents.

That said, this drunken SotG felt like all the previous drunken ones and I was happy to watch it.

Do you even read? It doesn't matter if it was Slasher's show or Day9's, they are closing all the online shows to focus on their bigger goals like re routing all their assets to live production and traveling production for 2012.

This was long and coming. Talk shows revolving around Starcraft 2 were extremely saturated, especially as several of them were produced by a single company. If MLG had to cut something to shift its funds elsewhere, then these online shows was the best option IMO.

He has been doing commercials because he needs a way to easily break up the large video files so that the VoD can be up ASAP.

Well, it's not like they can't continue their shows. Chobopeon was doing his thing before MLG hired him and I'm pretty sure he'll continue after this. Best of luck to Rod and Patrick, but I don't think they'll need it. My guess is we'll be seeing them again real soon.
