It is unknown as to what the future of "State of the Game" is as the source did not disclose if the show's syndication as part of MLG's programming will continue.

So what does everyone think? I know I watched Fuck Slasher and SC Report like ever day, and will be bummed out to see them go.
Also Chobopeon has left MLG as he said in his personal blog
From Chobopeon's Blog
I’m leaving MLG and Tuesday will be the last episode of the StarCraft Report.
In short: Tune in Tuesday @ 5PM EST for the last episode of SC Report. It’ll be a big highlight show and I’m gonna have a ton of fun with it.
Now, allow me to explain!
First, I want to thank MLG for bringing me on board even if it was only for a couple of months. It’s been a huge learning experience. Getting to know the people behind the scenes has been invaluable and, better yet, fun.
Since even before I signed the papers and worked at MLG, I’ve wondered if it was really the right place for me. Shifting away from an independent perspective has been tricky for me and, truth be told, I’ve been itching to get back to indie work. Even though the folks at MLG have been nothing but wonderful and helpful to a clueless guy like me, I’d been considering the move simply because I have more fun this way. I think it’s a viable path.
As the community has focused more and more on independent journalism in recent months, the itch has become stronger for me. I had made up my mind before the company made clear that it was shifting focus away from the sort of content I produced. I was told last week that SC Report would be cancelled. I didn’t know what sort of thing I might be doing at MLG from that point but it didn’t matter because my mind had been made up and this only sured up my decision.

A lot of people don't seem to like me or what I do, but I appreciate the support from everyone nonetheless! Hope to be able to provide meaningful content to everyone again sometime. I would like to go more in-depth surrounding this topic and independent journalism, but not at this time.
I still work for MLG, just will not be doing the show anymore, for now.
