MLG steps down after leading the esports scene in North America for quite some time. For many years, the company successfully ran tournaments across the United States for StarCraft 2, Call of Duty, and other titles. MLG also announced that it was building an arena in China.
However, MLG has also taken on recent blows, such as when rival ESL was named as the tournament runner for the Call of Duty World League.
Only time will tell how this move affects other MLG ventures, such as the upcoming Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Major Championship in Columbus, OH. The only thing known for sure is that MLG, as we know it, is over.

Riot is irrelevant here though, these were two Leagues that battled over games like CSGO, Battlefield, Halo, etc.
Riot just does their own thing solo and because they can.
MLG was fricked when they lost CoD to ESL, CoD is still huge. Will be interesting to see what happens with CSGO, the tweet about that big MLG CSGO Tourney coming up was deleted.
It also makes you wonder if maybe ActiBlizzard is going to do their own thing as well...HOTS, CoD, OverWatch, Hearthstone, Starcraft.

There is a MLG arena here in Columbus that nobody really knows about. It's crazy... maybe I'm not in the gaming scene as much as I thought but never see tournaments get advertisement or coverage locally.
