"Ryan is a programming thought leader in our industry, who will help take MLG.tv into the future. With Ryan on the team, Chris Puckett can focus 100% on expanding ESR from the premier weekly eSports news property to the world’s first daily, real-time news source for the global eSports phenomenon."

　　Chris Puckett, current VP of programming, will now become VP, Executive Producer of MLG.tv’s eSports Report (ESR) and all MLG Pro Circuit competition broadcasts.
