SOTG won't get cancelled, no one is stupid enough to cancel that show, but I understand about the other shows. SOTG occupies my once-a-week show slot.

SC Report is pretty awesome :/ I really enjoyed watching it... And I wouldn't worry too much about State of the Game guys. Even if State of the Game was dropped by MLG, I think they would continue doing it as their own project (like it was originally). The only way I could see it completely dying is if MLG specifically told JP he could not do SOTG while he was part of MLG, and the other hosts didn't want to try doing it without him. Personally I don't feel like MLG would do that, but I do not know their reasoning for cancelling any shows in the first place so who knows...

I'm glad this happened simply because Chobo is going independent and now that he's gotten a little more exposure through MLG it should carry over. People just need to support and tune in when he starts his own thing. Web cam + overlays + PC powerful enough to stream is all he needs. I think everyone including Chobo will be better off for it in the end. I'll be watching.

Just another thing: I hope MLG won't go all out corporate style from now on. If this becaem visible, they would lose all support from us little nerds, since we distrust any too big to fail companies for their back door deals and hidden agendas.

This is almost like GGL all over again. :/ Great shows just don't have a chance if they can't get sponsorship or advertising dollars.

Well said.. was not aware many here knew who GGL was. I look back at my time there and now realize as many stupid mistakes as they made.. they were ahead of their time with their production value. In fact.. most of their shows and content is still way ahead anything out there now in esports.

in the end though.. they spent too much money on 'media' and trying to be an 'entertainment' org and they lost out.... hmm.. sounds like the same road MLG has taken.

interesting...

Let's all pretend that MLG isn't having financial problems. and if they are, i don't want to know about it.

F Slasher had really good viewer numbers considering it was a daily show. Often it was between 2k-4k depending on guests.

state of the game is the only one I watched, so as long as that is still around it doesn't bother me.

As much as this shake up, nearly everyone involved I think will go independent, I will watch fuck slasher, sotg and read chobopeons articles whether or not they are associated with MLG, and as long as there is interest, I don't see what is stopping said producers of content from going solo.

I don't know how you can expect MLG to continue to run shows that generate 1000-2000 viewers.

I assume State of the Game will stick around since they seem to run 15000-25000 viewers regularly. If not I'll be pretty pissed.

more like the road mlg is stepping off, considering this latest move. I still see mlg as a successful company just trimming the fat.
