just because the current base is content without it doesnt mean we are the only ones interested
when sayle started casting the ssl the numbers shot up, the proof is there of outside interest. with increased numbers from an english cast comes an increased numbers of donators.
stagnation is death, at the moment all we have is snipes restream, which may not even be there in 2 months.
(this is all based on assumptions we foreigners will be donating somehow)
I agree with everything but it doesn't change what I said.
Sayle isn't casting this (at least not live = huge drop in numbers). There is no other english caster famous enough to draw the numbers that we know of who would start regularly casting this for free (or even some money).
Sonic is all to busy managing all that he does to expand and target foreigners who are as of now a force barely worth mentioning. Some kind of cooperation was probably suggested to Sonic already but he doesn't see the potential.
To make him see the potential we would have to persuade a famous esports celebrity to start casting this for free or hire them, and start collecting donations and send them to Sonic. If this works there's a chance he sees the potential and hires the man himself and uses him live in the studio etc.
I'm not saying it's impossible and yes, there is probably still some potential and it would be great to take advantage of it. If you're going to try and do something about it I'm of course on your side, but I don't see this happening from Sonic's side.
Did he say anything about not casting the SSL? Don't remember that just that the KoTh is during the week and he can't do it. When SSL comes out it will probably be during the weekdays so Sayle will hopefully decide to cast it.

I don't know.
Meanwhile Lee Seung Won is currently co-casting with Sonic
