AFAIK he left GOM after the SC2 switch and opened up his own PC bang (he didn't like SC2 and was quite open about it). But ye, I was half joking I guess  Yea, Tasteless and Superdanielman were an amazing casting duo. Their BW casts for the GOMTV Averatec Intel Classics (http://www.gomtv.net/classic/vod/), were some of the best and most entertaining English casts ever. They were knowledgeable about the game, but also had interesting and funny moments: like their famous "monkey milk" discussion, or the time Tasteless pranked SDM by interrupting him like 5 times in a row during a cast. It would be great if Tasteless and SDM came back to cast BW when it is viable. Last I heard, SDM was working at an insurance company or something - is that accurate? Is there a link to where SDM talks about SC2? And has he made any subsequent/recent comments about anything BW related? | ||

But you could think of it as, having english casters will take prize money away from the league and players (unless they do it for free) also i think most of us dont really care about english coverage (its always been nice, but personally ive never minded, though absolutely love eng-subbed korean casts) Also alot of viewers on twitch (the english audience) watch the stream through snipealots FPV which would also not require english casting. | ||

There's just not enough foreign audience.. around 500 ppl watch sospa events on twitch and usually more than half watches fpvs only - and that's including our chinese friends who certainly wouldn't tune into an english cast. Sayle could attract the numbers too but we know he can't cast live due to work and he's already got more than enough of casting with TLS I'm sure. Well the SSLs got a lot more than that. SSL finals had several finals, right? But yeah it's still not profitable to invest in a foreign caster. | ||

Sonic is a mind-blowing force. I have such respect for his energy and entrepreneurial thinking, he really deserves each of his ventures to be a success. | ||

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) | ||

(this is all based on assumptions we foreigners will be donating somehow) that is true, but from Sonic's standpoint he doesn't really have that much to gain (in the short term atleast i guess). BW was and probably will remain mainly a Korean pasttime, with a small underground foreigner following. Sonic's chief goal should therefore probably be to first try and make it viable within Korea for the Korean audience. I guess he could always expand later if he wants to | ||

(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. | ||
