You are correct, I just checked my old bookmarks. The Youtube part was about Valor Starleague (also casted by Tasteless). GOM had their own thing, I remember them eventually introducing anti-spoiler games, so that you weren't able to see whether the matches ended in two or three games. | ||

I had done some playlists of the GOM Classics some months ago, but deleted them because I couldn't stand the 240p rez anymore. | ||

The voice is a big deal, if not the biggest, of the package you're presenting. You're not going into hosting radio or announcing when your voice isn't liked. Now if it's just like one or two people saying this and you still get 10+k viewers and like/dislike ratio is better than 1, you shouldn't worry about it. I think negative feedback is often too easy to tunnel on, because -like it's been said before- it's easier for people to comment something negative (and people that liked it aren't going to comment as fast imo). If 1000 people said something about your voice, I'd understand that maybe doing something -and uploading that for everyone to check out- while only using your voice, isn't the best of ideas. Your commentary may be the best, the most analytical, the funniest, but if the voice is just too harsh to listen to, it all falls flat on its face. Also: I got primarily into starcraft because of Diggity/Klazart/Moletrap/Cholera. I registered on SC2GG before I even heard of TL and thought TL was their nemesis (which I guess seems kind of correct now lol). Sadly I also switched to TL because they had the live streams, which could temper my ever increasing BW addiction. | ||

I don't know why you'd get offended by someone saying they don't like your voice (unless they were being a dick of course); it's literally such an easy pure subjective thing that you can just chalk up to "well obviously not everyone is gonna like my voice" and move on. It's not like you're expected to change it lol (unless, again, the poster was being a dick). | ||

It's not like you're expected to change it lol (unless, again, the poster was being a dick). If the criticism was constructive, like you talk too fast/slow or too loud/soft that would be fine. But when you get YouTube comments saying you sound retarded or to come back when you don't have braces or other stuff along that line it's frustrating. I remember one of the early criticisms of moletrap was that he swore too much, so he worked harder to not swear during casts. I'm not sure if it's still out there, but he made one video where he swore like a sailor the entire time and it was hilarious. If you don't like the sound of my voice, fine. Don't watch my videos then. There is no positive outcome from posting an insulting YouTube comment on my video. | ||

Back then I was one of the silent listeners, just enjoying the casts by Moletrap, Diggity and Klazart and not posting much. Its almost always a small group of negative people who post hate/complaints while the silent majority simply enjoys the content provided. I'm sorry to hear you guys took so much hate, so know that there were plenty of us quiet folk that immensely enjoyed the effort the spend on bringing BW to the west. | ||

I can't necessarily say I wish everyone who was involved back then would jump back into the scene-- what we have now is definitely way better. But I really appreciate all the more-or-less selfless work those early casters put in to pump out all that content that got me (and many others) into brood war in the first place! I've got to say though, I'm kind of disappointed that people who were involved in the scene back then haven't come forward to tell more behind-the-scenes stories. The circle of foreign BW pros/casters/community members always seemed to allude to crazy stuff that had gone down that they couldn't talk about. I specifically remember Kennigit saying on a stream or an interview or something that as soon as he was out of the scene he was going to dump so many juicy drama bombs about what REALLY had been happening at tournaments, between players, etc-- but obviously that's never going to happen now | ||
