Let's face it. We're all going to miss screaming Korean commentators should the shit hit the fan for SCII in Korea (won't discuss it here). All of the best moments in SC history had the associating commentators SCREAMING THEIR BUTTS OFF for minutes.

The question I implore upon you, TL, is which channel has the better commentators, OGN or MBC?

I'll try to add videos that may be a bit obscure among TL netizens along with famous ones.

I encourage you to post your favorite OGN or MBC commentator moments in your posts.

P.S Sorry if this feels a bit rushed. I just don't want to dedicate myself on this topic to make it a page long thing that'll turn into TL;DR.

MBC for entertainment and fun. I just find overall MBC casters more enthusiastic compared to OGN.

The OGN commentators are much, much better. Their commentary has tons more depth and insight. MBC was pretty good when they had nal_ra, but now they don't, so they suck again.

Not a first someone has said this but when you dont understand the language fluently, its all good.

My personal favorite is the OGN video where 2 casters cast a couple battle. I laughed the whole way through.

I dunno, even in the funny department I find the OGN commentators to be much funnier when they do have their funny moments. But I guess that also is because I understand Korean fluently.

lol not necessarily. I understand Korean fluently, and the OGN commentators are always fighting to speak about... nothing. The fat guy, he's like John Madden, he says absolutely NOTHING when he speaks, just says boring obvious crap that no one really cares about, and STUTTERS too lol. The commentators are always trying to say more of nothing... and they talk about the most random crap sometimes lol, just like in the OP drawing. However, the biggest upside is that they have absolute toooonnssss of experience... after all, they've been around SC progaming started.

On the other hand, MBC also obviously has its problems... they do have this "nothing" problem too, but their casters are young and can think quickly. And plus they scream like hell, which is seriously funny and exciting to listen to. Also, they're actually really funny, while the jokes in OGN are kinda... old man jokes.

Basically, IMO, it's a question of old repetitive men with experience vs young inexperienced kids who can yell. For me, the latter is a lot more fun. One of the reasons I watch SC is to be entertained, and MBC just does a better job for me.
The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.

I don't agree with the general consensus of the Koreans in this thread. Am I missing out here? I always thought the MBC commentators were far superior to the OGN ones, and I don't think I've ever thought otherwise (TheMarine was really good, but I still don't think I liked him better than the collection of MBC commentators).

I've always felt that Um Jae Kyung, who's like the most senior of the OGN commentators, talked a lot out of his ass, and had the least understanding of the game out of all the commentators, both companies combined. Besides that he always repeats the same words, and stutters sometimes too. Plus a lot of the times the OGN commentators are super awkward, like when they see a cheerful and they don't really know what to say about it, or when they see a couple or attractive audience member, I always felt they didn't know how to respond well to it.

The glasses guy (I don't know his name) on MBC has like the most fluid speech out of all of them, by far, and maybe that skews my perception of his understanding of the game, but I've always thought he was the best commentator of them all, hands down.

I don't even agree with the point that OGN commentators have a better understanding of the game, although I don't have much authority on that subject because koreasilver most definitely understands the game better than I do. I can say with confidence though, in terms of just fluidity of speech, energy, and dealing with situations, MBC is much much better than OGN.

edit: Nvm, WaxAngel agrees with me. Awesome.

holy shit, no

the main trio for OSL is terrible at reading games... the MSL crew is waaay more knowledgable about starcraft than the OSL guys

as for PL, they are about even, and it's a different flavor for every day

what makes the carrier video so funny exactly? i dont get it :\

i was talkign about the vid with flash vs bisu
the commentator who is most excited has nick name kim carri, because he loves carriers
for the first 3/4 of video he gets really really excited about how bisu is teching to carriers and how that's the only way to beat flash
when they finalyl come out, he gets reallly excited
then the dramatic music stops and this sad music (not sure where its from but it's a korean meme) comes in and shows flash raping carriers
and kim carri sounds very sad indeed
