They need to bring it back...
I really hope they didn't get cancelled, but I've been wondering about it. I haven't heard anything either way, definitely curious.
This article should help answer some of your questions.

Basically the main show is being put down, but segments such as This or That, Mic Check, and The Penta are being uploaded to their YouTube channel over the week along with moments and match highlights on the week.
I was wondering the exact same thing, they are releasing some of the segments like This or That but I can't find PTL or any information about it
Riot cancels PTL and I stopped watching NA content. Fine with me, LCK is more fun to watch (Papa Smithy and Achillios, then Korean stream or mute NA stream for SPOTV casts... because LS and Valdes are as much fun as watching paint dry - Riot needs to replace them both). ^_^
They need to bring back PTL! I think if they were not happy with certain segments of it they could have easily worked out a different format. Its not like they didn't have all winter to work on it. It is frustrating to see a lot of what goes into LCS put in the last minute, fantasy LCS doesn't even get the single weekly news article anymore. What is with all the cuts? I thought LCS was increasingly doing better, not worse.
I think they cancelled it but now it's like segments of everything I don't know. I do know however that the PTL was an ok show like nothing great and I'll give you a rundown of each PTL show.
Opens up with a pun from Phreak or joke that's sometimes funny but after 3-4 shows the humor just starts to fall flat. This or that- where in my opinion they don't really talk much about the subject for example would be like 2016 Summer TSM vs 2015 Summer Fnatic and they would be like " Fnatic got to Semifinals" and that's the end of that discussion. Their also too careful to not step on the toes of people and their feelings and you can never get a straight answer from the people who are on the This or That segments.
Mic Check - " YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" " NOICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEE" " GO GO GO GO GO GO GO " that's Mic Check in a nutshell.
The Penta - was cool so I give it no cons honestly.
Then EU steps in for 5-10 mins or maybe it's still NA but they would constantly do these " guess this player's body part" like eyebrows or mouth or nose etc and it just wasn't interesting nor did it serve any real purpose, it was honestly just dumb.
The rest of the show were just memes that are getting so old at this point like " Troll " The first thing that comes to mind isn't someone who is acting like an a$$ when I see troll I instantly think of Boxxy from like 09 or so. Just stuff that if I was 15 or younger I would like but since I'm much older than half of the community I just found it to be boring and childish.
