!@#$ Slasher was the best most entertaining show on e-sports. I hope it can live on elsewhere.

Perhaps they are really focusing on the LAN parts of their tournaments. I doubt State of the Game will get cancelled. JP will probably do it without MLG if they don't want to help him.

i see no reason why these shows require MLG to exist. so they won't be on MLGs stream anymore, big deal. the biggest thing i see here is that it could potentially delay the next SotG episode, which would be unforgivable and i would thusly stop watching all MLG related content... not really but i woulnd't be happy about it.

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.


pretty much sums up my points from earlier

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

Exactly this. State of the Game is undoubtedly the best Starcraft stream without actual matches actually being featured as the focus of the show, and the viewership solidly reflects that. Preserve State of the Game, and you still have my support!

the issues you may have though are:

1) MLG may own the rights to SOTG, which means rebranding the show

or

2) MLG may not allow JP to do the show if they opt to nor run SOTG due to "conflict of interest" or any variety of reasons a company won't let an employee venture out


it'd suck to lose SotG imo, hopefully they realize the huge following will make MLG realize dropping them is no bueno

ROFL conflict of interest in the esports scene!


im prolly the odd ball out here but i feel even SOTG has run its course, and i wouldnt really want to show it to people who arent into sc2 already. at least not until the hosts either change or grow up a bit

There's too much Starcraft stuff going on and yeah oversaturation is the flavor of the month for SC2 e-sports news.

It's a good thing: the industry is competitive. The consequences are that less successful ventures will eventually close down, because the number of potential viewers/customers are finite and it has reached the point where supply exceeds demand.

It's a consumers' market guys. Gone are the days where we zealously defend and support what few events we had.
Nowadays how we voice our criticism, where we spend our money, and what shows/events we consciously decide to support has a huge impact on Starcraft.
A virtuous act is performed habitually, and not once from incentive alone.

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.

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).


Nah, it's a lot different. You can't really blame them, but it's very different than it used to be.

This could actually be a good opportunity for a real independent eSports news source to pop up. I'm imagining a world where Fuck Slasher, SC Report & other quality shows (imbalanced? lolo) are all united under a single eSports News banner (unaffiliated with any events/teams ^_^).

I actually like F Slasher a lot and he was my go-to guy for news outside of SC2
and SC report was for anything within SC.

What a terrible thing today D:
