I wanted to make a thread for TL'ers to show there appreciation to Uli, Christian and ESL TV for casting some of the games in english. Even though it wasn't all of them, we all appreciate what you guys did for all the english speakers out there.

If this starts as a trend, I'm sure you'll find more and more traffic from the loyal english speaking SC fans! Thanks again and looking forward to future casts.

The English commentary was okay, but once they switched to German it all started to get boring :/

The caster asked: "Will you still watch if it's cast in english?"

Let me make this clear. Not only will I only watch it in english but also... EVERY TIME YOU NOT CAST IN ENGLISH I WILL KILL A KITTEN!

Here's proof I'm not bluffing:

PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE KITTENS AND CAST IN ENGLISH!

English cast was fine but the jokes and puns, which they can only do in German, were definitely missing. The trademark of the cast, if you will, is not coming through in English. At least I enjoyed the German cast more but I don't mind if they cast in English or German.

Thank you so much for the feedback guys. Since English is not our first language (though I'd consider myself a decent speaker) and the show has a large German fan base, it was a gamble to do it in English. It's great so see that it was received so well. We'll look through all the comments and then decide where to go with this in the next weeks.

The English cast was entertaining. I only tuned in when I heard it would be an English cast but tuned out again when it finished. Hope you consider doing it again.

Only part I understood of the german cast I could understand was when the reaver drop failed and the guy started singing "I shot the turret... but I didn't shot the scv..." lol

But yea... please think about the kittens
