I haven't posted in many years - This is really sad - I wish AfreecaTV would reconsider.

If Korean think tanks have decided this is not worth the money, then so be it. Artosis/Tasteless are amazing. I hope some sort of crowd fund adventure happens and I would totally give just to say fuck you to the "businessmen" who decided this wasn't worth it.

Please, I understand I'm just an angry fan, but could you explain why? Surely the return on investment isn't being questions? This is very un cool to just suddenly pull (on some TL thread no less)

What a terrible tragedy this is. I haven't posted in many years and logged in just to post that this is a tragedy.

Been years since I've logged onto this but that's how strongly I feel about this move AfreecaTV. With this move you've completely lost my support, I'm not watching or supporting the ASL without an english cast. And I encourage every foreigner to do the same.

Where's the loyalty for not only the english speaking community but the casters? I've watched competitive SCBW for 20 years at this point.

Huge shame, but you can't squeeze water from a stone.

Thanks for supporting the community up until this point!

Don't fret, this won't be the end—now we get to see what Tastosis end up creating on their own

Tastosis will be fine--see their foray into Valorant. Fuck whoever is in charge of Brood War in Korea.

i suspect Tasteless & Artosis have known this announcement was coming for some time. It also partially explains why they have been casting Valorant for AfreecaTV instead of casting BW events like ASTL 2.

Still a bit of a gut punch though.


Tosis just said on stream he asked them to let them know before they announced it and just found out they did on stream so pretty sure they kept them out of the loop either way its fucking bullshit

Artosis just said on stream that Afreeca didn't even tell them they had made a final decision before posting this announcement on TL :-(

Edit: Artosis clarified that it was supposed to be that they told them before they announced it, but they had been informed of the decision ahead of time.


It's a dick move on the part of the AfreecaTV management to not tell them before the announcement. Not sure what else to say really.

I'm shaking my head in disbelief as I write this.

Aw man, this sucks. I've watch most of every ASL season, having official english streams and VODs for those events has been really amazing. I guess it's back to the good ol' days of english casters talking over the korean stream while sitting in their car in a parking lot or something.

This exactly, haven't posted on TL for over 5 years, no matter what happens (and i urge afreeca to reconsider) we will support Artosis and Tasteless.
