RIP NASL, the only surviving NA broadcaster. Unless... MLG wants it back? Do they have SCII casters anymore? | ||

They are bringing back SC2 at MLG Anaheim. I am not sure if they still have their studio in NY. | ||

I know they're bringing it back at their tournaments, I was talking about WCS specifically. After how season 1 went for them last year, I doubt they really want it back. Plus, it would probably be on their own website instead of twitch with the terrible chat and no view counts anyway. | ||

If nathanias knew, then don't you think Rotterdam would know too? Not really, an hour before that he said So it seems more rushed. | ||

It was a bit of a shock but no need to worry, I should be alright. on twitter at 7:50 (CST) today. | ||

Blizzard isn't going to let there not be future AM seasons just because NASL stopped being their broadcaster. It would be unfair to so many regions. They'll find a broadcaster for future seasons for sure. | ||

Especially for the NA powerhouses who could easily make it into EU premier. | ||

No reason to leave even if possible At this rate, dissolving WCS: AM and integrating it with WCS: EU (to create say, WCS: International) seems like the most logical move. | ||

the whole scene is still very infant and inexperienced, these announcements should have been notified to some parties and certainly should not be done during mid season. | ||

Which was a nice event for sure, but nothing amazing that ESL won't match or better. ok, so we pretend it never happened to make it seem like everything is fine? LOL. fewer live events is part of the general decline. SC2 eSports live events in NA in 2014 won't be as good in terms of quality and quantity... and this haphazard switch from NASL to ESL is merely a symptom. the decline continues. i'm not blaming ESL in any way. they are just the guys left holding the bag with fewer and fewer resources being dedicated to making live events in NA a great experience. | ||
