That's a great blog post, and I feel like a total jerk saying that what stuck out to me most was....

...the OSL casters are called "Noah and DoA"?

(I also think you're a great choice for OSL).

Dude, I'm sorry, just seems like 2 children cannot get along. Who knew that even after 3 years these two organizations still can't get their stuff together.
Might as well go to gom an cast some GSL in the meantime. XD

Looks like the sc2gg guys are doing big things again. I don't know what you think of those days, but I think it's pretty cool what has changed since I first heard of you.

Good luck Doa, I miss you on the GSL. Really looking forward to having you back here in korea, and I look forward to the day that I get to meet you (hopefully will be able to make it up for at least one OSL, if that goes through now).

I hope your not too stressed by the woman issues, and that you will realise that everything happens for a reason and one day you will find a sweet ass girl who will always be there with you <3

Well with your love for Korea, and your recent split. Might I suggest a night on the town with Naniwa and Sase. Combine your two loves and enjoy life! You're really living a nerd dream of many, live it up man!

SAYLE FIGHTING!

Naw but seriously, congratulations on the work with OSL. Women can be a bit strange some times, but the same way as we oftentimes don't understand why people do what they do, maybe she never fully understood what e-sports meant for you. Don't take it into account, and, as you said, you can move on with no hard feelings, since it is good that you both noticed that it could not go on like that.

Hopefully I'll be able to be up in time to watch your casting mate, it will be awesome!

Hope you recover soon! Thanks for sharing about your personal life, sometimes just a bit of sensitive information can abaite undue curiosity and concern, and lead to more respect of your privacy.

Dude, casting the OSL..... WOW, I don't even. OSL is a really big deal, even if it is in a new game. You don't 'just throw out' a dozen years of history, and though they don't follow or appreciate the sequel like they do the origional, a lot of people still follow the OSL because of their attachment to the players.
That means its really important to respect the players. Yeah, no shit you would, and obviously they will in no way be slandered. But just to let you know, some people can get quite touchy unless you are absolutely safe and well-reasoned with any comment you make about individual players persons.
If we're following our heroes into new waters, we really won't be happy if they're not looked after, and demeaned. Not saying it will happen (I trust you) just -- I'm pleading with you now, please don't make broad comments about their personalities or histories without thoroughly doing your research.

Stick to what no one can argue about or contest (recent results, played well played bad, favoured unfavoured), weaving drama and story and history takes long-time immersion. In fact, I would really be delighted if you guys could share some more behind-the-scenes stuff, like how they were looking when they came in during the morhing, what sort of food and strippers are sent backstage, and whose fan(girl)s are more demanding and agressive q:

Its ok if you don't know all the (I'm assuming just the Kespa) players, their past drama, history, notrities or incidents. That'd be nice, but its not essential, and is totally understandable that you wouldn't be 'in' on that sort of stuff, so leave it to Moletrap and focus on sharing SC2 to a croud that probably has more 'new to SC2' people than usual.

It should be a lot of fun, and I really hope you can make it. Tell your stomach whose boss, DO IT FOR ESPORTS!~

P.S. Please also tell Moletrap to seriously do his shit and come up to scratch on the recent (past few years) history of our dear beloved players. Referring to them in the states they were when he left is not accurate, adequate or appropriate. New stuff has happened since, and if its up to him to know his stuff on them, he'd better know it well! (:
