Dear Fans,

It’s unfortunate for us today to announce that the ASL will no longer be supported in English.

It has been the most exciting adventure for us to share the ASL with fans all over the world.
We thank you for all of your love and support over the years.

The ASL will continue and can be watched at afreecatv.com/afstar1.

Communities and English casters are still allowed, and encouraged, to broadcast the ASL to their own fans through our clean feed on their AfreecaTV Channels.
If you are interested, please contact us here!

Thank you,
AfreecaTV

We need to come together as a community and petition Afreeca to bring it back. if we can get the whole weight of our community behind us im sure we can make change happen.

If not, let's hope that there will be an english cast on AfreecaTV.

Would be amazing to understand a wider context behind that decision, e.g is it just the cost of hiring them, or no revenue from ads running on foreign stream, or...? AfreecaTV, please give us some insights, I am sure that foreigners scene can fix that easily.


My understanding is that Afreeca is not willing or able to invest any money into tastosis salary at this point. They explicitly offered the clean feed stream for community casts, but as pointed out the youtube stream provides them no marketing bonus for Afreeca.tv whatsoever and likely close to 0 income from merch.

If Tastosis salary expectations were just to high from afreecas pov, they would have hired somebody different, which they didnt.
Tastosis make a living from casting, so obviously its nit an option for them to do it 4 free.
Thats my take.
Broodwar for life!

Well broodwar is for the most part a korean thing, nobody play the game outside of korea and nobody will, the foreign viewers are a very tiny part of the audience and it will continue to shrink that's normal, that's life it was a very good journey, thanks to artosis and tasteless and everyone for the amount of work and passion.

As a spectator, I understand this decision. I'm no genius, but isn't the goal to run a profitable business? 18 matchdays * Attendance * Admission Price. Obviously, there will be fluctuating demand depending on who is playing, so we can assume they wouldn't be selling out, even without the current situation. With AfreecaTV as the title sponsor, there also appears to be little demand for that, and I'm unaware in what other ways AfreecaTV monetizes their broadcast.

From the community side, I think this will actually work out wonderfully. Obviously, Tastosis are blessed to have the freedom to be themselves on broadcast, and from what they've made public, are mostly left to themselves. There will still be demand for these games to be brought to a western audience, and that need will be served, most likely by Tastosis themselves(but maybe not live due to broadcasting rights), if not by our other excellent voices.

I think GSL for SC2 is going to be done just after the esl contract (end of 2022 I think ?) for the exact opposite reason : nobody in korea care about sc2, nobody is playing it, the viewship is mostly from outside of Korea. if SC2 lives it will be without a korean scene, there will still be the old gard of players who are slowy going away (innovation, maru etc)

I got into ASL because of Tosis and Tasteless, English casters were a must. Big Mistake. How could this possibly be the more profitable option for your company @Afreeca?

Sad news, Tastosis casts were great! Anyway, I will not stop watching BW, cause I love it! Hope we can make some sort of crowdfunding for Tastosis in order to let them stream anyway, I would be glad to support it!
