I fully approve of the casting crew that was selected.


Reasoning: Blizzard has taken to heart my expression in the need to maintain a level of meritocracy for caster selection. Zeweig and Tenshi have been casting Chinese SC2 since 2014. Since Legacy of The Void was released, I played less than 100 games on ladder, although I did complete the campaign. There are also more new players in the China scene that I never paid attention to, and they monitored over the past two years.


So, what prompted me to write this blog? There were a few posts in the announcement thread in regards to my absence at the event. I talked to the proper Blizzard NA offices and employees thereof in advance of WCS in Shanghai. They told me I was placed on a list of nominated talent for the Blizzard China to select. But in the end I just was not selected.


That's not to say I wasn't slightly salty when I saw the announcement, and I didn't make the cut, but the fact of the matter is, I have nothing bad to say about anyone selected. I see nothing wrong with them. I felt pretty wrecked to be honest, but although I have been unemployed for over 70 days, I am ready to make a big announcement in the near future, and I hope this is for the better. Hopefully it will come next week.

I just don't approve that I wasn't selected as well! Don't worry though!(?)

So you dont play the game, dont follow the (new) scene but are "pretty wrecked" that people are selected who did put up the work?

Honestly I dont get you man.
We know nothing.

I've been shoutcasting for about 4 years now and I've been paid to cast 5 different eSports titles. You would be surprised just who I have seen never put forth effort and still got their hands on WCS events. I know you must be thinking that I am stoned or something with that statement because you probably can't think of anyone who didn't work hard to get where they are (be it a retired pro gamer or otherwise), but caster selection can be very corrupt. I don't want to go in to massive detail about this, but maybe I will on the day I retire.

Glad to know you're in the works for something in the future and that this doesn't upset you or set you back from those plans.
