I never watched these shows, but as they appear to have generated a lot of traffic, I don't understand why they were cancelled.

Damn even though i hate slasher, his show was fresh, all days they had something to inform you about other communities in the esport scene =(.

F Slasher was really good.
As long as SOTG remains im kinda fine but it seems like a stupid move to cancel F slasher imo.
A good strategy means leaving your opponent room to make mistakes

I hope slasher will do something else on his own, some of his episodes were really really good!

i wouldnt be surprised if chobo brings back sc center, i had a feeling he was hedging in case this happened ever since the official mlg version was called sc report and not sc center.

feel bad for their writers/researchers too

Weekly Warfare just debuted 2 days ago or something.. WTF is going on? The shows are low overhead $$.. so why cancel them? Something is brewing for sure. Most of us should know that MLG is always working off someone elses dime.. so if that dime gets taken away.. so does their ability to exist.. hmmm..

odd non the less.

Sad news, completely expected due to the lackluster viewing figures but sad nonetheless.

The only show I really care to watch is SOTG and it seems like things are still on track with that so I'm still happy. There's absolutely nothing stopping the hosts of the other shows from going independent.

MLG really needs to explain what the fuck is going on. First a ton of employees let go and now they're letting go of shows they took in under their reigns.

The fuck mlg?

I think it's better if these shows are run independently, but it's difficult to make money from it I guess. Everyone on sotg for example are involved in major ESPORT organisations and you can often tell when they discuss things that they are biased or not able to express their opinions because of it. I think sotg would need one or a couple of people that are independent, who can ask the tough and interesting questions.

well first you have your talent, then your director, then your writers, then your TD's, then your producer, and if you're paying all of them (which i'm going to assume they were, at least partly) costs go up quick, not to mention the equipment they were using etc.



Well besides F Slasher and SC Report , I'm pretty sure SOTG can fund its self and be worthwhile to produce.


yeah SOTG was just the guys on a skype call, so regardless i think they'll have some variation of it, may not be SOTG due to branding/naming rights, but if SOTG is cancelled, i can be pretty sure to expect someone to pick it up, however the question would be if JP would be on it due to conflict of interest as he works for MLG and doing a show on a "rival" network isn't kosher.

it'll be interesting to see how things go from here.

as someone who works in the entertainment industry (not just esports but like MTV, HBO, etc.) the costs to run shows like they were producing daily, can definitely be up there. its a shame, those shows were entertaining and well done, hopefully they find new homes/the hosts can keep doing what they were doing with new groups.



doubt highly they are paying any of them.. and in fact.. I can assure you that most are not. The production value on them does not require half of the things you listed that are needed. These are basically internet streams bro.. You could produce something like this without much investment.

SOTG won't go away I don't think. SOTG was independent to begin with, then MLG took it under it's wing sometime in the early summer. So even if they "cancel" SOTG. They'll just go back to an independent show anyway, I would think. No big problem with SOTG really. Just a sad day for the other shows really. Can't say I ever watched them, so I am indifferent but it seems like a lot of people liked F*** Slasher.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

MLG were cutting down staff right?

...my suspiciousness sense is tingleling


they have probably found that while they are seeing massive growth in their lan events, the online shows (mostly) arent keeping up and it just isnt worth the effort to them anymore

just my speculation though

Not a great way to handle this should be a post by MLG explaining the situation and why they are doing this.

Ending shows like this is how rumors come to life.

I'm guessing both F*** Slasher & SotG will continue regardless, sad to hear about SC Center though

Is MLG struggling financially or something (does this have anything to do with the layoffs at MLG recently) or am I reading too much into this?


thats what my question would be. But could never imagine this being the case.
