First seen on Alloy esports, Axeltoss and Axslav will be leaving MLG as their in-house SC2 casting team.
It's now been five months since MLG had WCS, and with SC2 being absent at their next event in Columbus next week speculation remains about the organization's involvement in Starcraft in the future. For the past several months Axeltoss and Axslav have stayed on as casters, providing coverage for a host of online events through the months and even casting the non-main stage games of the recent IEM New York.
Axeltoss has gone on record in the above article saying he will remain in esports, and Axslav likely has a similar perspective though he has not said for sure. With the WCS 2014 plans yet unannounced a lot is still up in the air for the next year of SC2 and we will have to wait to see what MLG decides in the coming months regarding their circuit.

I call dibs, o' mighty administrator.
Edit: You're evil. Down with the tyrants, and all that. 
On a serious note, Axslav was released on his birthday:

I think you got ninja'd Heyoka

You are too slow . Though I guess we will be using this thread?

I hope they both get picked up - so much passion despite MLG being quite negligent of SC2 and its awesomeness.

Same as the 2013 circuit but SC2 replaced by Dota2, who's taking bets?

yeah looks like it. even the author of the article can't have this thread
quite sad for the 2 Ax, and really not a good sign to see SC2 back at MLG :/

Oh whoops. I didn't realize the author remade another thread. All I noticed was a fourth thread on this topic.

2Axes 1 tournament WCS2014 make it happen!

Thank you for quoting us and the article. My threads kept getting closed 
|
good decision, makes me happy 
Axeltoss might not be my favorite caster but i felt really bad for both of them everytime i saw them cast something for that awful organization.
|
Damn I want the WoL days with regular MLG tournaments with recognizable players from the NA scene and some EU
|
MLG was doing a lot of fun community stuff lately. I guess you can't really pay two guys and a studio off of that though.

No idea, but I side with this opinion.

kinda sucks to have a "job" at an organization that doesn't give a fuck about the game you're casting and you're forced to do all kinds of weird shows and best-ofs and shit like that that nobody watches or cares about. and whenever MLG do something for sc2 that people actually want to watch (e.g. WCS qualifiers) you have to apologize for their stupid mistakes for hours on end even though it's not your fault. they were just wasting their time and talent and probably putting a lot of psychological pressure upon themselves with MLG.
i'm sure they'll be able to get gigs with organizations that care about sc2 and that people might actually watch.

The MLG bitterness is utterly pathetic.

That's it for MLG and SC2 I guess... Hope Axeltoss and Axslav will find a new home!

I think he's totally right. Talent wasted.

I wonder who will pick them up, not many org's doing sc2 outside of the WCS ones these days.
