This is definitely a great move for MLG though. They can focus on their true strengths.

Is there any word on whether or not SC2 is going to be at any future MLG events?
Or has this "pressure" from Blizzard disappeared?

Blizzard may try to pressure MLG. But , the results of this "pressure" have been a very badly run WCS-AM.

I do not think ATVI will try to leverage the CoD franchise against MLG to force MLG's hand into accommodating SC2 into their live events. They'll use their "CoD franchise power" for CoD related activities.

As stated previously, ATVI barely knows SC2 exists.

CoD, Skylanders, and WoW are the money makers.

JimmyJRaynor strikes with inside info on the inter workings of Activision. Apparently they barely know that SC2 exists, even though they alway talk about it at their earnings calls to share holders. Are they lying to their shareholders? Who knows? Do they even know what an RTS is?

SC2 isn't leaving MLG and I don't know why you would have that impression.


so far MLG stated they are doing the June 28-30th event.
MLG could easily "leave" SC2 as they "left" Halo OR they could have an event as good as 2012-Anaheim for Summer.
If MLG has made a commitment beyond Spring 2013 then post it. It can be placed in the post at the top of the thread.
If you do not have this then you are just speculating and then slamming other posters for speculating. An interesting hypocrisy.

SC2 is a very small revenue stream for ATVI.
Blizzard has already announced the size of their SC2 team.
It is much smaller than the WoW and CoD head count.

Skylanders, WoW and CoD are the primary revenue drivers of ATVI and this is reflected in all their public communications.

Like it or not SC2 is a small part of what ATVI does,

As we continue to move up the executive ladder we see Vivendi shopping ATVI around because they need cash.

Jimmy, you do know that if you get banned on one account they will ban every other account you may have as well, right? They can still track your IP

Man, he doesn't even try to hide it. He posts in all the same threads, even continues all of the same conversations...
