According to

it was MLG's choice to move away from WCS

did you expect them to say "well, Blizzard thinks we kinda suck so they decided to take WCS away from us and give it to NASL"?

When Mr.Bitter teased with that Soon(TM) picture, I didn't expect it to be THIS soon

I cannot describe how pumped I am for NASL to run this. They have a dog in the studio. That's how much fun they have! No one has more fun than NASL when it comes to SC2.

I kinda wonder if MLG was just handling the first season because NASL couldn't do the open qualifiers or wasn't set up for it yet. I don't think MLG bombed, but if this was the plan from the beginning, we should have known then.

You guys are NASL have NO idea how much she hated watching the MLG WCS stream.

NASL definitely mastered the "long online tournament into epic LAN finals" scheme. Perfect fit for WCS.

What about Dreamhack?

I don't understand why people want Dreamhack to run the WCS, their brand is strong regardless and we need tournaments outside of the WCS imo. ESL has done a good job, no reason to change what works.

I hope all this good karma is repaid. Would be sad if NASL screwed up, but I have a feeling they will give us a good product.

MLG finally saw their own production on VODs.

Maybe it was all the negative feedbacks they got after S1.

Great News! Hopefully it'll also allows MLG to come back to their great standards in terms of one-shot events, which is another great way to enjoy SC II.
