Lol. You should go back to casting SC2. I preferred it when you couldn't pay your rent; that way, you can't upload these atrocious videos.
All you care about are views.

I'm surprised and offended that TVing let someone like you cast in the final OSL

Squalid; that's what you are.

mvp was NOT that close to flash/jaedong he was far behind way way behind their leve, the level u chose would have been someone likel sea who was a monster back then and mvp rarely got chosen for matchs, woongjin stars terran...LOL mvp was no where near sea back then

I recommend you don't watch it. He just wants bw viewers to tune into his channel.

I haven't watched it, and just from the posts here, i can glean that this video is complete bullshit and a desperate attempt to get views.

I don't think MVP was close to being Jdongs or flash's level. You don't think July was close to Flash's or Jdong's level?

my summary of his vid
his "why" bw is dead
no sponsers and in the end its a business and it has no more potential even if people have a passion for it, the sponsers see sc2 as the future. He stopped watching bw since the beta of sc2 came out only recently started again feels like he still understands what's happening and therefore bw has become too stagnant. so sponsers won't want to invest into a game that doesn't get "exciting"(non-standard) games.

All the producers and coworkers at OGN love bw soo much but there's no money in it and they accept it has to die, he says the top of the chain don't feel like they get enough money from bw so they are switching to sc2 even tho the low teir workers would still love to continue with bw

thinks split league is genesis because from a business stand point it can take the bw fans and get them into sc2 as in Korea bw>sc2 in popularity, as it all comes down to the fans

believes only the top/best OSL players are mechanically superior than gsl players
his ranking of MVP back in bw compared to flash and jaedong
-flash
-jaedong


-MVP



-Hyun/forgg





-boxer
about 6-12 months to still OSL players are on the same level as gsl players
had a interview with stork and bisu and they said they are practicing sc2 nearly 100%
he is looking forward to flash and jaedong raising the sc2 skill bar when they catch up
sc2 needs new mechanics to make it exciting like bw eg: reaver shuttle micro

You guys know, all bw turned sc2 casters are like this. They get all impressed with the SC2 scene because all of a sudden the spotlight is on them. Back in the bw days where they would upload stuff on youtube and get 1000 views. It's only natural for them to forget about the past.

You really shouldn't criticize moletrap anymore than people like tasteless, artosis, and day[9]. Those 3 have said enough cringe inducing moments to broodwar fans that you can make a movie.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.
