I'm really hoping they'll cast again. I liked that they weren't over hyping things and when they got excited it was genuine.

Last days of MLG were the best days:

Man...I really liked Axslav and his analysis. I really hope he remains in the forefront of the scene.

anyone more remember in 2010 when mlg only can rise 5000 spectators?

or that time when their stream failed horrible with 25000 and the eagle's meme born?

or when sundance used a lot of fake twitter accounts to arise his exposure

and never forget the time he tried to make sc2 a forced ppv model.


mlg can go and fuck themselves.

In order:

Not MLGs fault.

Honest error when it come to managing their stream and bandwidth at the venue.

Just a bunch of bull shit you made up.

PPV is a totally fine model and someone needed to try it out.

MLG makes a SC2 PPV event and TL acts like entitled assholes saying they won't pay a dime.

Valve sells PPV tickets for DotA TV and makes $4 million for TI3.

Looks like TL and SC2 can go and fuck themselves.

but you know, the twitch stream is free, and the vods are free, on both twitch and youtube.

really different to a model exclusively PPV

Oh noes, where will we ever find another company willing to half-ass tournaments while in the next breath promising that they care about our NA scene? I'm still waiting for Sundance to admit that they pillaged the NA scene for all it was worth and left us a rotting corpse once it wouldn't make them anymore money. Won't watch another MLG production (and will actively steer my friends that are getting into ESPORTS away) until they do.

Sad for Axslav and Axeltoss, but I'm sure they'll find other work. WCS kind of shrunk the need for casters, but there are always production positions/Dota2 stuff to do. Dota2 is growing, and it doesn't look like it'll stop once you take into account all of the stability-longevity stuff that Valve has introduced.

This is more a news story for the implications of MLG's involvement in SC2, which hilariously MLGAdam was defending in a Dota2 thread just the other day.


I know it's trendy to hate MLG, but holy shit we could do with half the shit they're getting. They may have made questionable decisions and they may have screwed up (repeatedly), but their tournaments were unquestionably awesome. MLG Fall and MLG Winter 2013 are some of my favorite tournaments of all time. They weren't half-assed, they were awesome. All tournaments have flaws - Blizzcon did, Dreamhacks do, IEMs do - singling out MLG and claiming that they more than anyone else produced bad tournaments and somehow made sure it cost them as little as possible so that they could "pillage" is ridiculous.

Zealously biased towards those two tournaments because Life won them both don't be fooled.

But I agree, people do love to shit on MLG tournaments, and yet they were some of the best weekend tournaments out there.

Wow, some tumbler blog that freely admits to using the service themselves, how damning is that. That some fact finding right there, super reputable, very informative and clearly FACT. Clearly this master of tumbler has dug up some shady business and nefarious deeds.

Man, these MLG haters are the best. The endless amount of non-sense they will dig up just to try to justify their internet outrage. MLG is not without flaws, but no one in Esports is.

People forget that and just move on to their entitled non-sense. Its not even the entire community, but a small minority that just loves to whine and pitchfork anything they can.(damn, I miss SotG)

Because its not what you said it is, buying followers. No one is paid to follow you. Its advertising for twitter. What you is only partly true if you stretch the meaning of the word buying.

Good to see them leave MLG. MLG is extremely selfish, but sucks to see that there will be less events to watch if SC2/Blizz/WCS and MLG don't work together anymore.

Shame to see it go, they were really starting to grow on me.
But it was weird to see an outfit like MLG basically doing community casting, was never going to last.
I used to love to fall asleep to imba, playhems etc. They were filling that void for a while.

Having only seen that blog now (2 years later) I'm actually confused as to why RedEye wanted to post that in the first place. Looks to me like the service is just like the basic twitter "hey, you like this, why not follow this as well?". That's just advertising, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. It's also exactly as p6 says, not what the original guy said it was (buying twitter followers).

MLG gave us a starting point, and there's nothing saying they wont be back. They're a business and need to make money where they can. Axeltoss and Axslav with both be fine, they'll find something new, and they were given a huge opportunity by MLG in the first place.

Stop ragging on MLG for this, they've given more than they've gotten and they've decided they can't continue in this vein any longer at this time. Chill the hell out.

I really liked their casting and Axslav is one of my favorites. I hope they both find jobs.
