If he never plays BW at all, then yeah Idk why he's featured.

As mentioned earlier, it's hard to watch his streams if you don't speak Korean. I don't, so I don't get much entertainment value from him.


But W/E.
Do something today that your future self will be thankful for.

Britney broadcasted MPL last year and it was honestly my favorite BW tourney of the year. He has done so much for Starcraft, I think he should stay featured. I mean if you know he probably won't stream BW, why even click on his stream? Also, every time I tried to watch JD the past few weeks, he was playing LoL. Surely you guys don't want to remove him as well?

Bad point. This section was made for featured players, not streamers or hosts, am i right?

If you love Britney's stream go to https://tl.net/forum/fan-clubs/ and create a page of him.
If Britney is hosting broodwar tournament create a page in here https://tl.net/forum/bw-tournaments/

He still plays Starcraft occasionally - once or twice a week, not too seriously though. He's actually still pretty good! Could probably hit 2600+ if he took the game seriously. He is starting to stream some more Starcraft content (during his 240 hour relay stream, which is starting tomorrow), but it's not during his 'main' broadcast times since his variety fans hate him playing Starcraft.

Britney and Terror have played a big role in helping Starcraft pros make a living in Afreeca also; not only do they keep the scene going with tournaments, their popularity allows them to frequently feature ex-BW pros in their broadcasts, which have been a massive boost to their popularity on Afreeca/Youtube and such. For example, Bisu has benefited a lot from his relationship with Terror, while GuemChi's success can partially be credited to Britney.

It crossed my mind he gets more clicks from TL net just cuz his nick looks more badass with that Korean flag. He's the only one with the flag, and it makes him look like a champion of korea or something.

As a matter of fact, I just noticed his huge numbers, thought about it, came to this flag conclusion (which obviously may be a minor thing, now that I've read the thread), then searched TL for "why britney" and ended up here :D

I think that is because of the chinese culture. Like their crazy non sense game shows, which only they enjoys.
I was always wondering why some random chinse guy sleeping and 10k viewers watch him... I don't get it too.

Also, I noticed it is very popular, these streamer to be kinda odd. Like, i am watching Bisu and Flash streams a lot, and sometimes there are 3 guys who are yelling and screaming like crazy when a marine kills a zergling... 30+ years old guys screaming like crazy and thinks that is funny... dunno.

On Bisu stream, occasianately there are like 4 guys + 1 girl and all of these 4 guys screaming and acting like crazy around that girl. 30+ years old guys, act like 12... I feel sorry for their girls. I just don't understand it, perhaps it is a cultural thing.
