f-slasher was pretty good man, and screport was picking up as it was pretty much unknown..

mlg seeing hard times or what?

am i only one that thinks this might have something to do with the Gomtv/MLG code S issue, cause i read somewhere they told slasher that he does not express the views for mlg even though he worked for them.

I assume this is just because they were obviously losing money? I assumed MLG figured the publicity/buzz they created was worth it, but it's reasonable to think otherwise. I'll miss SC Report, but it is actually better if shows of that sort were run by third party media groups, not one of the major leagues themselves.

Aw man, I liked Fuck Slasher

But I swear, if they stop SOTG, I'll cry.

Would love to hear something from Sundance on this. Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, SC2 explodes making your events huge and you nix content that covers it?

The article won't load at all for me, but this is sad news indeed

Let's hope SotG continues on

So it's "fucked Slasher" now?

I hope they don't cut SoTG, but then again I preferred pre-MLG SoTG for a number of reasons anyway, I really disliked the affiliation. Also SC Report was great.

Shame, I had just started actually enjoying f Slasher and it was kinda growing on me. Very weird news seeing as MLG doesnt seem to be in financial trouble from what I thought. I mean they are setting up an even bigger 2012 circuit right? Strange.

Dang, I liked these shows. I don't know what I would do if they cancel SotG too.

Didn't watch any of the shows really. Tuned in a few times, but they all felt like watered down or in general worse versions of SotG, which I hope will stay. I felt the hosting just wasn't up to snuff; not that JP is a godlike host either, but the rest of the pillars make up for it.

Well, MLG employees were running them, right? And they had good production, so someone must have been doing that. I can't imagine people were working for free. SOTG gets 16K+ viewers. F slasher was only getting like 1 to 1.8k.

They must be doing some serious overhauling with their content in order for them to just want to do away with all of these really successful shows.

Why the hell would they do this? I watched Fuck Slasher and SC Report regularly and they always has a huge amount of viewers. I can't imagine either of those shows are losing MLG money...

Fuck Slasher, literally. Jokes aside. I really enjoyed what content Slasher brought to his show. If it really is the case that the online show is going to be closed - then I'll have a couple of hours each day to do something else.

Fuck Slasher!

Even if SOTG was not affiliated with MLG, I'm sure JP would just do it on his own like before

None of them were particularly important but if SOTG is effected that would SUCK.

Kind of disappointing, as much as people dislike Slasher he had a lot of content + got guests for his show on a regular basis, I for one will miss it.

Never really got to check out SC report much though
