Not like the vods for these shows ever seemed to work when I tried them on MLG.tv anyway >,> I have the latest flash and browser and more often than not there's just blank space where the video should be and it never loads no matter what I do.

Not sad to see "fuck slasher" go tbh. That type of immaturity and lack of professionalism doesn't really add much of value to the scene or look good to investors imo. There's a big difference between not being afraid to prod a bit to get the truth with "hard hitting journalism" and just being a foul mouthed asshat for attention and to make a name for yourself, as is more the case for Slasher imo. Just my opinion though and I'm just one person so, respect whatever decisions MLG makes as long as they keep bringing awesome tournaments.

Now we're two.

I think 'foul mouthed asshat' describes him perfectly. His one appearance on SotG left me going 'please don't get him on again'.

seems like people watched fuck slasher...never watched it, since it had kind of a retarded name and i dont even know who slasher is? why does his opinion even matter. with state of the game you know who's on it, that they know what they're talking about, and its pretty fucking funny.


do you even read what you type? half of what your saying has no relevance at all, also slasher is a journalist who has been in esports for 10+ years

of course sotg isn't going anywhere don't know why people would even imagine it does

... I can't even tell if you're serious.

Slasher has been involved with E-sports for longer than almost anyone else. I'm not a fan of him or his show, but his opinion definitely carries some weight.

Canceling "fuck slasher" was a good idea, if MLG wants to move out of the basement, put on a suit, and actually get mainstream advertising support.

SC Report...make it a weekly show, and show it on Monday before or after Day9. I just don't think MLG has the production capacity to turn out Sportscenter-like daily recap.

Independent journalism in eSports was the "in topic," but we just need more (and better) journalism in general. I don't understand what MLG was thinking when they brought Chobopeon and SC Center in, only to kill off SC Center two months later.
Thank God and gunrun.

Sorry if this has been brought up, but what are the chances these were cancelled due to a partnership with a greater media distribution company? Having something called "Fuck Slasher" doesn't exactly look good for say, ESPN. And the bigger the company, the more control they will want over MLG's product.

His opinions about esports in general are relevant, of course, but his opinions on SC2 carry even less weight than Tyler's "I have nothing more to add to that" XD

umm well considering one of the shows that was canceled was called the WARFARE WEEKLY, ya i think it does kind of have relevance especialy since mlg hosts CoD as a competitive game.

and i care that slasher is a journalist (even if its in esports of 10 years)? why does his experience matter if he doesn't really know shit about the game.

to me he's just some sloppily dressed fucker who i've never seen before offer some rather useless opinions about starcraft.

actually no, i would rather listen to opinions from someone like tyler or incontrol even if they aren't competing at the highest level anymore, because they actually have played at the highest level before and play the game better than 99.5^% of the community and they are more entertaining than some so called 'journalist with 10 yrs of of exp.

10 years of experience doesn't count for shit if your thought and opinions aren't relevant.

I seriously don't understand you guys. Slasher is really the only person on LO3 who keeps the show somewhat no fluff, and even on his own show being employed by MLG he was pretty honest and outright said when he couldn't comment on something due to his position at mlg. If you consider this immature perhaps you want all your media to be circle jerks like SotG, which although often entertaining, is far too embedded with major sponsors to say much of anything substantive.

JP did a great job in having the initiative to create a show with a good premise, but he is not a very good host and nothing resembling a journalist. You should have some more respect for slasher, someone who is actually willing to make people uncomfortable and control his own show instead of just letting his guests talk for as long as they want off topic.

Can you be any more ignorant? Fuck slasher was a good show not because of slashers opinions, but because each day he was able to get big names on the show relating to current topics and issues. And it wasnt just sc2, it was all of esports in one place. Slasher never claimed to be an expert in the games, but always got some experts and pros in daily. It was a great show and i will miss it. Slasher has worked harder in esports than most people. Just because you dont know this doesnt mean you get to be a prick.

in other words he could be replaced by someone else who actually knows what theyr'e talking about, or he could be replaced by several shows with people who actually know what they're talking about interviewing the same relevant people.

In theory yes. In practice fuck no. All those people are so in bed with the industry that you will get a ton of softball questions which answer nothing.

Something about Fuck Slasher, though, is that it had quite a few guests (SC2 pros) come on and talk. State of the Game is usually the same people talking about other events whereas Fuck Slasher had the people involved in the events. I mean you guys can hate his foul mouth all you want (and yeah he can be a bit awkward) but he brought some pretty nice content. Hell, he even kinda got me interested in the other MLG games and fightan

Edit:
While he may or may not have any idea what he is talking about, he brought on people who definitely did (TLs Waxangel for GSL predictions etc, big name people for FPS games, prominent members of MOBA and fightan community even). I mean come on, this work must count for something.
