Community casters are still an option. Maybe BisuDagger can start casting again with a partner? Either that or LaughNGamez starts casting ASL. That's as far as my thinking takes me. | ||

Its literally the opposite, if there were 250k foreigners watching the games, they would obviously put more effort into the international broadcast. If you truly love BW you will watch the games and support whatever tournament, doesn't matter who is casting. | ||

I was an "SC2 only" guy before getting into Broodwar in the past year and a half. Artosis & Tasteless ASL commentary is the main reason I've grown to love Broodwar. There are lots of people that love SC2 like me that want to get into Broodwar as well and it was Tasteless & Artosis who made that possible for people outside of Korea. This decision is extremely shortsighted and my anger has turned to sadness, hence this post. Hope we can all ban together to rectify this situation somehow. | ||

Sad to see this end. Hope something comes along to replace it. BW has been 'dead' or dieing before, I just hope this isn't the last time. | ||

Though, I have to say, it sucks that they couldn't just keep on an official English stream on AfreecaTV only, even if they had to shut down the YouTube option for obvious business reasons. That seems like the obvious step to trying to get more international users to migrate to your platform, instead of just killing the official stream entirely. Hopefully the community casts on AFTV do well enough so that they consider bringing back an official English stream, even if it's on AFTV only. | ||

A special thank you to Artosis and Tasteless for sacrificing so much for the community and esport, you both are so appreciated! It is so terribly sad to think that my attending the season 8 finals at Childrens Grand Park in Souel ended up being the last casting you two would do of a Brood War Starleague in front of a live audience.
