IMO makes sense, give a several shows a go, see which ones thrive and which ones are just surviving (ie not making money)

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. You dont get it. You shouldnt be looking to Slasher for analysis on the games. You look to Slasher for info on news in the scene. Kobe isnt showing you highlights on espn. Kobe isnt doing interviews with Lebron. People like Slasher do that. exactly. kobe isnt going to criticize other players. kobe isnt going to criticize the league. players and people like day 9 cannot be used for any kind of honest analysis. why not. there is a pretty good balance of opinion on sotg tbh. Why are you comparing sotg to fuck slasher? They arent geared toward the same thing. Fuck slasher is more news focused while sotg is more game focused. SotG doesnt discuss the game anymore. Where have you been? They cover the news and upcoming tournaments. The closest thing that they ever get to discussing the game is Brood War. I said game, not game play. They talk tournaments and thats pretty much it. They talk news when its a huge story, but thats it. Fuck slasher and sotg are very different shows. And sure plenty of people can do it, but they dont and they dont have the appeal of slasher. Like it or not, he is a polarizing character that people like to watch. And he actually comes at it from a journalistic standpoint, something that is badly needed in the community. Personally i would love to see slasher go indie like chobopeon so his hands arent tied at all, but i understand that doesnt pay the bills like MLG does. well numbers prove you're wrong considering if he had the numbers to back his show, then he wouldn't be getting canceled right? not sure this 'appeal' comes from either. he doesn't offer any good insight, not really any good questions, is kind of awkward, and isn't even all that visually appealing (no homo). again why is he relevant. oh yea '10 years experience in the esports scene'. You realize your opinion of him isnt the opinion of everyone right? Why does Bill Simmons have appeal? Slasher does offer vreat insight because he often has the scoop on news stories in esports. Stop looking at this as an analytical thing and look at it as a journalistical standpoint.
can't take your post seriously with the word journalistical in it. can't ignore that irony. JOURNALISTICAL STANDPOINT guys.
rebecca black made a lot of money via itunes, mw3 sold more copies than sc2 + hos + heart of the void probably wll sell together doesn't mean any of the aforementioned subjects are any good at their respective fields. in fact they're pretty trash.

Rebecca black sold music because she was hilariously bad. William Hung did the same thing 10 years ago. Mw3 selling millions of copies means is more popular than sc2, which it is, as a game, not an esport.
And whats the point?

well since you need me to point it out to me it involves someone being bad, but getting 'increasing more views' even though he has about the same number of views as any number of pros streaming.

Huzzah! Much love to JP for assuaging our fears. The crisis has been averted.

Slasher brought actual content with people involved. Even when he couldn't give his opinion he had guests who could.
You can not compare SOTG with FSlasher. And i would say that Slasher had more outspoken guests and therefore more opinions than SOTG ever had. SOTG is a talkshow. Nothing more.
Slasher had much more insight. It was news.

.never said he has no appeal, but clearly my opinion is reflected by the fact that he got canceled.
i mean if he makes it big .independently you can make me eat my words.

can't have insight when you don't know shit about any game you're talking about.

So not only do you represent the opinion of everyone in the community, you also know what i meant to post. Clearly i didnt mean journalistic, because its not like i said it earlier in this thread. Im sorry i work 50-60 hours a week and get tired.
Slasher would get more views than most pros. He shouldnt because more emphasis needs to be on the players but thats another topic.
And once again you are assuming the show got canceled due to lack of viewership. We dont know this. We do know mlg will be putting out more gaming content next year taking up their resources and broadcast time.
And slasher already made it on his own. Its why he is popular today. Do you think he only has a following because he works for mlg?

slasher is trash, glad his show is gone. he ruined the last sotg for me and many other people. i had to turn it off 5 min after he came on. if i remember correctly the viewership had gone down like 3k viewers before i logged off. hes the only personality in esports that consistently takes talking points and turns them negative. less slasher means more awesome people talking about starcraft.

Yeah because with no fuck slasher we will see Waxangel talking gsl after each round. We will get so many interviews with DRG.
Oh wait... they, along with a ton of other pros, were all on fuck slasher...

Hmmm... so there are changes incoming? Still a little weird that they would cancel shows that really don't cost a lot to produce.
But I guess there will be new shows.... or I hope there will be new shows!

Consider me not part of your many other people.
Keep the harmful remarks out of this thread, please, no one deserves to be told they're trash.
Ontopic: My guess is that this has to do with MLG wanting to be televized. Full focus on the conventions, less on the streams.
|
wasn't watching any of those, and SotG would continue even if MLG wouldnt want it. Afaik only one of the 4 hosts is an MLG emlpoyee
|
at first he says he wasn't sure
and then he says he made the decision beforehand
it is a blatant contradiction
he then goes on to try to find some middle ground, saying "this only made me more sure of my decision"
I feel as if he was considering this, and then decided to act like he had pulled the plug previously to MLG doing so, because it is hurtful to have someone end a relationship, and that's what this is in a sense, a relationship. I feel bad for you guys that watched this show, and while I would normally wade through 27 pages of content, I don't have much invested into this. I was worried about SotG, personally.
I am referring to ChoboPeon, I believe. I am not really "up to date" with these shows, admittedly, but I try to stay on top of my SC2 news.

SOTG is the only thing I watch anyway
