I was wondering if Totalbiscuit and Diamond could team up and merge the esv and shoutcraft tournaments into a big regular online tournament for Korea. Diamond has lots of experience with running tournaments in the Korean scene and TB can bring in lots more viewers and money than esv could by casting the quarterfinals and up as if it was a shoutcraft invitational. I think it would be cool to try at least.

Not sure what TB and boss could do together though Im sure if they did work together they'd do something awesome.

Well if FXOboss and TotalBiscuit could pull their own heads out of their own asses for a second, they might realize that they might work together to make the korean sc2 scene a better place. Both of you dont seem to realize how nicely you could help each other out. You could work together on a seperate project, that would benefit the whole scene (with your combined expertises), but you wont, because you have enough to do with your regular scedules. You will both persue your own interests and this whole debate in this topic is just a waste of space.

I dont doubt for a second that both of you have the noblest intentions concerning the sc2 esports-scene (korea in this matter), but both of you wont cooperate. Which would make this discussion a little bit meaningfull.
Both of you can state your points all day long. Boss you do that often enough in your blog, and you dont seem to have the intention of beeing a creative force that changes things, and tb, well he is just a nerd that wants to help the scene grow and if it makes him money, thats a bonus.

Both of you are very outspoken and both of you dont seem to go the last step to really make me believe in you. I might have gotten this all wrong, but if you two are really interested in helping the korean sc2 scene, than why dont you two work together and try to make it better? I guess both of you rather point out the differences between you two , than to do anything like that. Rather point out what is difficult, than try to change anything.

You two speak like you could change something in a meaningfull way, but both of you dont seem to be able to forget your own ego and maybe help things along.

Sorry for that rant. I am a little bit drunk and if my words are confusing, well i am confused enough.
@ fxoBoss stop talking, start doing
@ TB stop validating with other people, start doing. +
@ Both start working together and forget your inflated egos.


It's remarkably arrogant for you to come in here and lecture these two professionals on how they should do their job. Since both their incomes rely on e-Sports, you can bet your ass they want e-sports to succeed. You think if it was as easy as your drunken self thinks it is, they wouldn't have already done it?

I'd like to thank both TB and BoSs for their contribution to the community on these forums, it's always a pleasure to read your insights. (and i'm mad jelly at BoSs but whatever XD)
Zest fanboy.

FXOboss's globalization is the endpoint that we're all trying to get to.
But it has to first be mobilized by people like TB, we don't all have a forex company sponsoring us...

I applaud TotalBiscuit for his grassroots movement.
Things can get done if there's a rally cry for it.
And we all know how big TB's voice is...this whole thread is one hell of a rally cry.

Thanks again.
You have my support,
In writing and in dollars and cents.

Sc2 still just isn't that popular in Korea compared to bw.

Just look at GSL live events/finals. They don't even nearly compare to bw finals which in their peak were exceeding over 100k live audiences. If I were a sponsor getting involved in something that just isn't popular in my country seems so risky. Not sure how or if it will change, bw fans are being force fed Sc2 now with the removal/switch of OSL and Proleague to SC2 but it remains to be seen if they will actually make the switch or just jump ship.


Fixed for you.


there was never 100k person live audience what are you talking about lol.

I'm talking about people attending live not watching TV or online.

BoSs funds an entire Korean team. If we're putting a charitable spin on things and talking about helping out the Korean scene, I'd say he's done his fair share, wouldn't you?

So much for the afterglow...

I'm honestly curious as to the uptake among SKorean audiences of SC2. Is it as big? Half as big? Only a quarter?

SCI not SC1. That's ShoutCraft Invitational.
Playing better than standard requires deviation. This divergence usually results in sub-standard play.
