It was an interview with some SC2 pundit on youtube. I love that they are back. tastosis....yay we can all look forward to them talking about SC2 the whole game like last time. | ||

Sure they did that a lot of that in the beginning, because they were being mindful of the fact that they were drawing in a lot of viewers from SC2 that might had little to no knowledge about BW. I do hope though that they invest more time outside of their commentary into refreshing their memory of the history of both kespa and post -kespa scene. Knowing about the history of a competitive sport sparks the immagination of the past and gives meaning to the present. Meaning: When you understand how the game and gamers became what it is today - you will care more for it. They also need to update their knowledge of the current metagame. Its been a while since they both were playing BW regularly, so there are som holes in their general knowledge here and there, but nothing they could not fix. The positive side to them is that they have amazing chemistry, experience, charisma and enthusiasm. There is NO denying that. There is a reason why they have arrived where they are today. What is important in the grand scheme of things, is the continuation of BW and its legacy. Tastosis is going to help to make that legacy survive, because they are raising the status and awareness of the game in the minds of thousands of people new to the game. And without new blood and interest in this game, the game will die slowly. And talking about community, this is where people like Sayle, Catspaw, Bisudagger, Prech, Cele (the list goes on and on and on), are the most important when it comes to sustaining that interest into something more than just what you get with your average casual viewer of someone like Tastosis. But it is Tastostis that is initially going to draw these people into BW in healthy numbers. | ||

I've always casually tuned into BW streams but it wasn't until Tastosis started casting that I really began to get interested, reinstalling the game, looking up youtube build guides and poring over years old TL posts. It means a lot to me to see the two games bridged by casters I love and am familiar with. | ||

 , and the Starleague webpage, and it shows the prize money awarded for all 28 participants. Presumably this is the 24 qualifers + 4 seeds.If TaekBbangLeeSsang automatically earn seeds/spots in the Ro24 (unless Kongdoo/Afreeca advance them into the Ro16), seems that only 20 players would qualify from the offline prelims... | ||

oh of course sc2 teams are disclosed with closing of proleague so stork probably has loads of free time to play BW starleague aswell although im a bit puzzled how he can switch that fast from being fulltime sc2 playing coach in sc2 team to playing star at pro level (i dont think stork has been smurfing on fish server or nobody noticed it at least?) | ||

Yeah makes the most sense to me as well. Let's hope TBLS make it throgh the qualifiers though, more hype for the tournament is a positive | ||
