There is absolutely no way Blizzard 'took' WCS away from MLG after just one season. MLG has been one of the most important partners they have in pushing SC2 and possibly their future games. If MLG wanted to keep going, they definitely could have.

I felt MLG was a lot stronger as a major weekend tournament host. They did fine with WCS, but NASL definitely has the experience edge there. I think everyone wins with this.
Pretend this quote is meaningful or humorous.

I really like this a lot

MLG / Dreamhack as the big weekend tournaments (for US and EU respectively)
NASL / ESL as the WCS tournaments for AM / EU

I've always felt like MLG excels at running big events with a lot of budget (in case you think that this is obvious/easy - you're wrong). It takes a lot of skill to do this and they have mastered it throughout the years. They are legitimately good at what they do with their events when they go all out. However when things are on a lower budget it seems that ESL/NASL are able to solve things by being cute and funny. Entertainment such as DIMAGA coming out in Carmac's bee suit, White-Ra as a bartender, and the random NASL dog come to mind. That is probably what WCS America could benefit from right now.

Wait, your telling me that SC2 and Esports should be fun and silly? NASL is pretty good at that. I remember Mining Out. That series was so dumb it was amazing. .

Thank god, I've grown so fond of the NASL crew. Happy they aren't being pushed to the side lines.

Well this could be very good für WCS AM, but now the NASL has a really heavy load on their shoulders because the expectiations will be very high.

Excellent news. I'm glad everyone involved recognized that you don't hire a carpenter to lay bricks and a mason to build a dresser. MLG's very good at hosting a big LAN and NASL/ZombieIPL is good at producing nightly content culminating in an offline final.

Alternatively, does this mean that MLG events are going to be back to the size we're accustomed to in the future because MLG has more time and energy to dedicate to the LANs?

now if only they could make GSL be WCS KR fulltime and OSL do weekend tournaments in Korea everything would be fucking perfect.

yeah, i know that won't happen.

I'm not one to pile on comments, but FUCK YES. NASL gets to really shine here, which of course is super awesome.

And this is good for MLG, too. They can do their big multi-game events, which they're best at, and not bother doing a regular show.

This is just great news all around.
