Answer: Still asking? OGN is not trying to kill BW, that's how. For some reason, SC2 only guys have a tendency to troll BW forums with their "happiness" when there is a news of a team or channel disbanding. That gave me the impression. do you say all that to you yourself when you go to sleep at nights? jeez relax..and well, why would I care if its on cable if im watching through the internet? you dont need a player for gom vods, and well, I would rather have casters that I understand you know, I guess that when tasteless was casting BW you didnt hate on him as much... I did like as well OGN of course and they`re a lot of really cool things there that are miles ahed of GOM, but its not like they do everything wrong | ||

complaints about Korean commentary It's a tournament in Korea on Korean TV that only Koreans can play in. Not everyone can be Dreamhack and broadcast in 20 languages. | ||

I liked OGN, because the whole atmosphere was new and fresh, I feel the stage is a lot better, players are not hidden dark away from the casters. For me GSL stream still had more production value. | ||

I appreciate the pole, but I think it's almost a false dichotomy. Tastosis trumps all, but OGN's camera cuts, audience, and observer are certainly second to none. Both networks offer fantastic viewing experiences, but I think the english commentary is enough of a variable that the two experiences are not easily comparable. TL;DR, I hope BW and SC2 can live together happily in a beautiful oasis of esports. | ||

As for the observers, the OGN obs is very skilled with handling the mouse and view of the screen. Just watch how he clicks the mini-map and directs the mouse around the screen--very clean and efficient. You'll notice that the OGN obs very rarely uses the arrow keys/ mouse scroll to move the view around and instead clicks on the mini-map to get the view desired. Day[9] talked about this before, but I can't remember where or when. Contrast this to the GOM obs who is more frantic, for lack of a better term. He uses the arrow keys and mouse scroll to move around, and is click-happy. I can see why some people may prefer the GOM obs, cause it gives the illusion of a faster-paced game. As for the casters, the apparent bias towards Tastosis by the SC2 community is no surprise--I feel the same bias towards the OGN casters since I used to watch BW broadcasts. I can't speak for the OGN casters' game knowledge however, since they know little to nothing about SC2. Despite this, they were still very good at casting (ie, moving the commentary along and reiterating things that happen in the game). Personally, I very much prefer the Korean commentary not only for their game knowledge but also for their excitement and sense of creating an atmosphere, which can be universally understood by speakers and non-speakers both. | ||

Also I don't speak korean, even if the korean are really passionate about the game, I don't understand a word they are saying, it didn't stop me from watching since I wanted to see who would get into WCG but it definetly didn't feel comfortable. Again not trying to start a flame war I know people love OGN and their casters but I didn't enjoy it as much as I normally do. I do think there should always be a korean stream for those that like the korean commentators but there should always be an english stream with tastosis to explain. If it wasn't for tastosis and their explanations while casting during the open seasons I never would have gotten into starcraft 2 like I have now, I remember in the old days when my friends would link BW games I couldn't watch the whole thing because I don't know much about BW and it was all in korean which didn't help. In any case everyone likes what they like, I think it would be awesome if they could just have two streams running and people could choose as they wish, then maybe it would end 80% of all the arguing on forums. | ||
