Also, MLG does not have a studio and is in NYC, which cost a mint. It is to hard for them to do SC2 something weekly and give it the love and care it deserves. If they backed out of this on their own without a lot of pressure from Blizzard, I give them a ton of credit to focusing on what they do best. I feel the same way about Dreamhack, who I think would have run into similar problems if they were given WCS EU. You can't beat an in-house production studio. | ||

You don't know that's what happened. MLG is a strong brand in itself, it never made much sense for them to suddenly let Blizzard dictate their content. All the negative pr and poor response to WCS AM wouldn't exactly incentive them to continue doing it. I'd rather have MLG and Dreamhack outside of the WCS doing what they do. Wheter it was Blizzards, MLG's or both that took the decision is kind of pointless. | ||

Wheter it was Blizzards, MLG's or both that took the decision is kind of pointless. you're right, i don't know what happened. that's pretty much my point, just because they say it was their choice doesn't mean it was, and neither does it mean it wasn't. either way, it probably was a good decision for all parties in the long run. certainly for the viewers. | ||

This was probably in the works weeks ago and why NASL have kept very quiet about their future with SC2. NASL definately the better fit for WCS, I was surprised that they didn't get season 1 as they have the experience of running a full time league like WCS and produce great live finals. Hopefully this will bring us the level of production we deserve for WCS AM and a live finals with crowd shots! | ||
