EPTObviously I'm bitter about the "new beginning" motto too, but whether they're thinking about their future or they're trying not to piss off their producer and sponsors, I'm not going to blame them. They are at least acknowledging that putting away BW is not done willingly.

 English cast will undoubtably be more laid back than the Koreans, catering to people who don't know the first thing about BW.I don't think it'll be a random SC2 dude. It could easily be Artosis, Tasteless, Day9, Sayle etc. Or just a Korean with decent English that they don't have to pay too much. Sayle would basically do it for free from home anyway, so all they would need to do is contact him and make his stream somewhat official haha... | ||

Basically they have plans for the foreign fans, they said. | ||

I feel ashamed to be part of this community, wth there are a few english casters that I like: sayle, hackebeast, kiante/sirjolt (for the most part  )although of course I would prefer for korean tournaments to just have the original korean casting (because I can follow the game along fine without a caster and I enjoy the excitement added by the casters + audience) instead of an english caster talking over the original audio. ESPECIALLY because it is so annoying when you hear a caster say something that is just totally wrong or miss an important detail that you catch. it distracts me from the game SO MUCH :\ | ||

ESPECIALLY because it is so annoying when you hear a caster say something that is just totally wrong or miss an important detail that you catch. it distracts me from the game SO MUCH :\ ThanksI'm curious who the get to cast it. I won't watch the English live just because at this point it means so much more with the original Korean guys, but I'll watch the English rebroadcast later. I want to see how well an English cast can sound with proper audio equipment and (presumably) the wide berth of information they give to the Korean commentators. + Show Spoiler + Also because i'm a petty person, and I want to watch for all the errors they make and think how much better it would have been if only they had asked me | ||
