So what, whenever a korean made a mistake the commentators should say "well looks like the lag is getting bad now". Not only would that totally ruin the experience, it would be impossible for them to know when there is lag and when there isnt. I'm speechless. I put a disclaimer in the middle there pre-emptively citing how I expected people to respond, I addressed it, and you still respond in the same way. All I was saying was that a nice little acknowledgment would have been nice, rather than the casters either ignoring the lag completely (even though plenty of viewers could see differences in MVP's play from the GSL and the TSL) or even trying to imply that everything is perfectly even. | ||

Day9 was just as biased as Chill on this aspect and no one complained. | ||

I know, I'm basing my argument on a good amount of assumptions. I'd say that foreigners are starting to level the playing field. TSL is a bad example to use though, and I do agree with the OP. Edit: Above all else, the commentating was fucking fantastic. They couldn't have done a better job. Just the references to korea v foreigners seems a little much, especially during a cast. | ||

 Didn't think it was unprofessional or overdone. He was excited about the results and that was reflected in the cast. Entertaining cast as well, Chill did a good job reigning Husky in as well. Much better combo than DjWheat/Husky last week. | ||

To be completely honest I don't think koreans take these seriously, they don't practice for them much.To them it's show up and either win or lose, no big deal. Now to foreigners its a little different, they put alot of time into these matches there going against and are just more prepared. If koreans took it seriously I have no doubt they would dominate easily. But to them it's just a showmatch type of thing, not a competetive tourny | ||

Because there was a latency issue you expected them to do 100% play by play and avoid the Korean vs foreigner story? Seriously? Is it truly the case that there is no easing everyone? I in fact thought they didn't get excited enough... kidding me? These were amazing upsets latency or no. Had chill screamed until he was hoarse I'd be fine with it lol Yes! Looking forward to hearing you and Gretorp scream in excitement at GSL. Your enthusiastic casting made the already epic GCPL final Naniwa vs Sen ace series even better. | ||

I'm not so much annoyed with the casting (How can you hate on Chill), but with the response of the TL community. There have been some awfully ignorant things thrown around both on the forums and IRC. | ||

In BW, the skill gap between Koreans and foreigners was insurmountable. The best foreigners were worse than Korean b team players. This is where the hype of Koreans vs world comes from. Finally we, old school BW watchers/players, are seeing foreigners in SC2 legitimately competing against Koreans. Maybe our mindset is outdated, but the feeling off seeing top Koreans getting eliminated by midlevel foreigners is amazing. I can completely empathize with Chill's awe and enthusiasm during today's event. I completely agree with this. The foreigners were redoubtably the underdogs going into this and its extremely awesome that they foreign community is going toe to toe vs them | ||

Commentators WILL talk about the skill gap difference. It's not that it's unprofessional, but it is too painfully obvious not to talk about it. Also, to avoid to talk about it altogether would be disservice to the fans that don't know about the history of the game. I didn't find talking about the skill gap many times to be unprofessional. It just showed how much Chill was excited that foreigners were closing the gap between Koreans and that kind of shows that eSports outside of Korea was growing rapidly as well. | ||
