I just want to let you the Ben Singer himself stated that the Death Battle Channel will remain up on Youtube. Because the status of Death Battle is currently uncertain (meaning it's not completely gone). And Chad James has stated that the crew are working to find a way to keep the show going.
Have you heard about Rooster Teeth shutting down? Can't say for who-know-what, since you hated that show, but I wonder what'll happen to DEATH BATTLE now that the company who funds them are gone.
