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. | ||

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

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 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. | ||

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. | ||
