So first MLG jumps ship and now NASL, who's gonna do it after this first season? Red Bull? I cant imagine MLG picking it up again after the disaster they had last year.

Best of luck roaming the globe for casting-gigs Rotterdam, you can do it!

If Totalbiscuit would have taken over the show and created a studio out of magic and digestives together with Crank the Brain and just run the absolute crap out of this crap it would have been brilliant, an unfathomably insane amount of brilliant.


TB is already GM at esports-saving. We can't rely on him for everything :D

I like how NASL was so god damn insistent on playing KR vs KR games on the NA server but now we get the lan portion of WCS NA in EU.

don't really mind whats ESL taking over, but having the games played in Germany seems like a bad idea to me. Even worse is that Europe and AM being played on the same weekend.

I think before they were still on the same weekend, but it was in 2 time zones. How are they gonna fit 2 finals in the same timezone in one weekend?

Everyone in here that is sad clearly was never a player in any NASL event. If you thought MLG did a horrendous job let us not forget the NASL admins just afking during qualifiers and so on. I really do hope some of their staff, such as the casters, find new positions; however, I am not in the least bit sad that someone will be replacing them for running future qualifiers. Them leaving mid-season really just carries across the point.

Never forget:

The end part from demus still makes me laugh. You can clearly hear his accent in the text haha. I really felt bad for him in that qualifier xD

My guess would be 2 production crews, 2 hosts and 2 sets of casting lineups. Early shift and late shift. But they have scheduled the finals for 4 days, so they might play them on different days

I hope MLG doesn't get involved.. They've made it clear they are not able to keep any sort of long term commitments.

We only have the NASL statement that they are leaving SC2, so I guess we have to wait for more information.

I think you mean bitter got out because he knew this was happening. Bitter got to a pretty high position within nasl, so I guess we should have seen this coming with him jumping ship. A decision like this doesn't happen overnight. Bitter knew this was coming for a while.

I vote to move wcs na to the saviour of the NA scene.....Mr total biscuit himself! I bet with all dat YouTube money he's got a huge mansion that can fit all the players...plus he's recently gotten to adorable dogs that can fill the hole that was left when chance the dog moved to esgn.

MLG won't touch WCS with a ten foot pole, and for good reason. NA just doesn't have any stable platform for a long term, weekly broadcast. From reading the statement, it seems like NASL is ditching SC2 altogether, which is probably the correct business decision.
