Big grats Artosis, all well wishes from here, and hurrah for the community!
Great interview too :D - Daniel Lee seems to really make a big deal out of foreigners, and I surely hope he together with the people over at Gom will make it expload out here at some point together with awesome people like Artosis and Tasteless.
*Million thumbs up*

Congratulations! The first time I heard Artosis cast was in the TSL game involving the line "Probes don't go to heaven." I can't remember off the top of my head which game it was, but I've been a fan ever since.

Wow man that's excellent. I hope you get to do some dul commentaries with Tasteless. I loved all your commentaries in TSL so I'm really happy you made it.
|

SC2 should arrive just in time to nip these wonderful developments in the bud. but that said we're all going to enjoy it while it lasts. congrats man

I don't understand this. BW is really in its peak of popularity. Blizzard has never released a game on time and it's not unusual for them to delay a game a full year after the intial release date is announced. The release date for SC2 hasn't even been announced yet, so I can't imagine SC2 is any closer than 16-18 months.

I agree with Chill and I also dont see a problem with SC2.
IEG are doing their Buisness. They have got the broadcasting rights for the korean SC leagues and they seek any income they could get. It is a fact that the worldwide Broodwar Community is growing atm because of SC2. Why not give them a chance. Gom TV was a success and obviously they want to involve the non koreans more in Korea. If we have ProGamers from different Nations not only the Broodwar Community wants to see them play. If they place foreign progamers in every team (what is a goal of them) and broadcast the proleague and MSL in English many people will view it. (Ya I think at least the PL after the next PL will be also broadcasted in english). And there is another positive effect. I think the koreans would enjoy foreign pro gamers. It would give SC a boost in Korea, maybe more koreans would view the games and that is the main goal of the organisation that holds the broadcast rights. So you see it can be a good plan on the long run to invest in the foreign community for IEG. Before I finish regarding SC2: The big worldwide SC2 Community would also watch a fameous foreign SC1 pro-gamer competing in Korea, at least if its one of their country.

+ Show Spoiler +maybe i'm just greedy. but things are going so well in BW right now it seems, they are finally paying attention to north america and bringing in foreign commentators and players. i agree BW is probably in it's peak right now. and that's why everything just feels right. it just seems like things are going so well in BW that i don't want to add the destabilizing factor in 16 months when SC2 comes out. maybe i'm being paranoid but it just seems like everything is going so well and going in the right direction and i'd be happy to see BW continue like this for 5 years uninterrupted. i didn't want to make a 2nd post on this because this thread should be about the good things that are happening, and i think it's great that artosis is "to korea" and exciting that there are plans to bring more foreigners over to play. i just wish it could go on like this forever  EDIT: i'm going to spoiler that, i feel like my first post was sufficient and that hammering away on the issue will just spoil the party. 'tis a time for celebration, not somber reflection.

I think theres very few foreigners that will actually benefit from going to Korea and im not sure they are interested. Mondragon and Dreiven I personally think would benefit most from it and maybe a younger talent such as JF who still has time on his side
|
Mondragon has stated many times though that he wouldn't go. Such a shame, a few years ago I'm sure he would have gone, given the oppertunity.
So, JF, White-Ra, Strelok and a couple of Chinese players imo, if there is going to be multiple foreigners.
