Fcuk Slasher show sucked... and so did its turn out... Not even a 1000 people watching it at times.
Not sure aobut the SC report... but id imagine the same.
State of the game is staying because it was the best of the bunch and had established names on it.
Good on MLG... out with the garbage. Sc Report and F Slasher had like 8-10 production people working all day for it. Sotg costs 0 dollars to make
Your point? Still sucked.

Good on MLG... out with the garbage. Well we can obviously see your bias. His show was actually at 2.5k for its last several shows.
My bias? Show sucked man. Sounded like I was listening to a radio station on grand theft auto 4.

I like this. I don't think it's really MLG's place to host these shows.
|
I really liked !@#$% Slash  He's a good host and I hope he does start up another show of some type; maybe not MLG affiliated.

A lot of people on this thread obviously liked it. Who are you to say "it sucked" ? You know, everything you don't like doesn't necessarily suck.

dislike slasher never seen the SC report, don't really care entiehr of these things affect SC2 as a whole........ better not touch SOTG

@Caydussc chobo left because he wanted to go back to indie and F-slasher didn't get enough viewers to make sense. Sad but true.
New tweet from Sunny D. Pretty much sums up what I already thought about the sitatuation. Shame really F Slasher was a really good idea and show. I loved some of the interviews he did with players and people.

Straight from the horse's mouth.
Slasher's poor ratings are killing Esports.

I had just started getting into Fuck Slasher so I'm sad they cancelled it. =(
SC Report just can't seem to find a home unfortunately. First JP and Chobopeon were doing it on youtube, then it went on hiatus and came back as an MLG program, now it's gone again. I personally like having it around so I can keep up with the scene when I'm busy.
At least State of the Game is still on! They'd be fools to cancel that.

Wow this comes as quite a surprise actually, I didn't expect so many of MLG's show to close down, this is a total shocker for me personally, but let them about their own decisions. IMO there will always come new shows who will be just as popular as the old ones and as Sundance has said, It's time to focus.
Looking forward to another year with the greatest game in the world

Fuck slasher would of been great without slasher. They got a lot of interesting people to interview and then slasher would ask bad questions and interject their answers with his own. Sometimes i got the feeling he wasn't even paying attention, the person being interviewed would spend 3 or 4 minutes giving a good in-depth answer and after they would finish slasher would ask them a question that they had already covered in their answer.
There have been times when I've seen slasher ask a great probing question or a controversial one which other interviewers avoid asking but this is the minority, not the majority of the time. It's a shame to criticise him because he puts out a lot of content for the community and he has some good qualities which could make a really important part of the community. Unfortunately too often than not he can't support his controversial opinions with a reasonable argument and he get's caught between being edgy and being safe in interviews.
It's not any of my business but i get the feeling Slasher would be better off going independent where he wouldn't have to worry about representing a large organisation (even though MLG do seem relatively laid back). I'm not entirely sure what he does for MLG now that he's not hosting fuck slasher and JPs a much better liaison between MLG and the SC2 community.

Fuck Slasher was alright, even if some days the show was pretty weak. I know Slasher gets a lot of guff, but he asks a lot of good questions to his guests.
I watched it a lot while at work. Shame to just see content disappear.
|
I feel think this was a very smart decision by MLG.
When I started reading this thread, I was baffled by how many people said they would miss Slasher. But then again I was always baffled when he went over 1k on his stream which was always I checked.
So these shows have something that people like, but I feel at least slasher was very polarizing, and the negative reactions tend to be very very negative. I guess many people are accustomed to the cerebral approach to Starcraft and don't 'get' what Slasher is about, I know I didn't. These shows were a lot more MLG than SotG can ever be, its awesome but you can't edit these people, they are not your employees. And Slasher just reflects very poorly on MLG to just some of the people (maybe alot).
|
I wonder if they're downsizing these avenues so they can invest in others... I'm excited to see what MLG gives us in return for cutting out these shows.
|
At least we still have State of the Game. I would cry so many tears if that were to go away
|
Fuck Slasher was the most badass show out there.
SOTG is pretty untouchtable, incontrol + artosis = 100$ humor show on broadway
|
I liked Fuck Slasher too. As a weekly show, I might have watched every episode.
|
maybe not many people are that interested in 267746 shows about sc2? State of Game and the like will be ok
|
not sure why they would get rid of them they could have just toned them down and put less money towards them.
Anyways.. merry christmas TL!
