I had a feeling that OGN still broadcasts from the stone age with 4:3 ratio. Unfortunately I was right. Just gives me a overall impression that streaming technologies over there are terribly behind.

It's not just compacted into 4:3 ration either. The actual setup is 4:3, so you are losing out of watch you are seeing in overall space. SC2 was designed for widescreen, so this ain't something you can adjust to. It just feels wrong when watching.

My only other complaint, because its not fair to compare multilingual casting support, is what OGN traditionally does but is a pet peeve of mine. When one person wins a match, they show the loser first and this has always irritated me ages ago.

Personally, I don't need to understand the language to feel the hype from the commentators. As great as Tastosis is, if GomTV have Korean stream available for me, I would switch to that anytime even though I don't have a clue what they're talking about.

Plus, OGN have great production, screamo music before the matches, dramatic headshot...etc. Gomtv is way behind imo. MLG, Dreamhack is way outclassed by what I saw on WCG. Shit never felt so real from watching SC2 until now.

Shit's getting real son!

PS: And big deal on the resolution, stop being so god damn picky. That problem can be easily fix compare to other things that OGN excels at.

I prefer OGN to GOM for the casters. I cannot understand them but they never miss anything happening in the game. Poll will always have GOM winning due to English casters. I don't care who broadcasts just as long as I get to watch!

Voted for OGN because I love the casters enthusiasm and of course when they say the English word even though they are translated in this game. ^^;

4:3 resolution is not the end of the world.

This poll is very premature. OGN just start broadcasting SC2. They still have a ton of details to refine about their production. On the other hand, they come with many cute production decisions that I think are superior to the way GOM has been handling it. Just not a reasonable moment to compare.

OGN 100%~

Don't get me wrong man, GOM has stepped their shit up since the Avertec Classics, which.. weren't bad, but were definitely not stellar either. I love how GOM provides English commentary, and we all love Tastosis, but the passion, professionalism, experience and legacy of OGN is something that is incomparable.

OnGameNet's production value is the highest of any gaming tournament in the world; far superior to MLG or anything else I can even think of, in terms of commentators, animations, graphics, crowds (I can only speak for BW crowds since we don't know what OGN SC2 crowds are standardized as) and legacy.

OGN without a doubt. It's not StarCraft without screaming in Korean.

Gom has a better setup in terms of in game broadcasting, but OGN owns them when it comes to showing anything else imo. If the in game quality was a bit better, OGN would be better than Gom in every way imo.

Wow some people must not appreciate the dramatic zoom... I really liked the OGN obsing and the Korean commentary was a nice change, added a lot of excitement. BW booths was another nice touch, really enjoyed it.

Now we just need Tasteosis to boogie on over there.

the music is really not a consideration for me, although i have liked and ended up picking up music from gsl (charo emerald's absolutely me).

until ogn starts casting in english it really doesnt matter what they do. i will buy the occassional season of gsl but with no english casting i would never buy ogn's series. however i suspect ogn will start casting in english as well, and at that point i really look forward to watching them. i rarely get to watch games with my favorite korean players, and a second league can only increase the chances that i will get to see more of julyzerg or mma.

I voted for OGN. Not calling the GOM production bad(its fantastic) and GOM does have HD but OGN has a lot of experience and it shows. In the end GOm could learn a few things from OGN to add to their already fantastic production.

Music wise... I actually like the Music GOM uses, more than what OGN uses, but oh well opinions.

All I have to say is if your biggest complaint is the 4:3 aspect ratio, then OGN is doing pretty damn well.

I'm actually surprised by how much Gom is winning this poll. I thought OGN had aspects that were absolutely superb.

OGN hands down

the only flaw is that ratio but that is an issue easily resolved

The obsing, the commentators, the lighting, the (deadpan) doom zooms

its all fucking awesome.

this poll showed up way too early. We've had 2 events on OGN so far. If a user hasn't watched it, then they'll vote gom.

OGN is like the best production there is.

The quality of it is just fucking amazing.

PS. Not to mention the Observer - KING.


EDIT

And for those who talk that stream quality is shit vs GOM are just stupid. Haven't u forgot how sc2 was when u could re-stream it on TL?

GOM has two main advantages that I see that would give them an edge in the poll

1.They have good English casters-No casters doesn't bug me as I watched BW for years with either my music playing or listening to the Korean commentators
2. They broadcast in a better resolution-This is the only real complaint I have about OGN broadcasting SC2

But in my mind all of that is overidden by the excellent zooms on players faces, something that I think has been missing from SC2, which just makes the whole thing fell much better. Also OGN's Studio>Gom's studio, as do OGN's shots of the crowd. Also OGN has better obsing, though that is something that doesn't bother me (after obsing is to a certain level of competant I don't really care, but OGN's obsing is notably very very good).

I voted OGN, but I can see why people voted for GOM as I think many find them fairly significant, for a good reason

OGN just reminds me of some great BW games. GOM is always just a little underwhelming

That's not what the poll is for though. Have you actually watched OGN's SC2? I waited until I had to vote. Inter-game crap is useless, who cares about it? OGN cuts out of action shots to get headshots of players, Obs isn't used to SC2 yet, it's broadcast in 4:3 with a non-adaptive codec (so things never "come into focus"; you can't read any numbers at all on the OGN broadcast), with shitty computers using low graphics settings and lastly they spend far too much time between games. For the actual games, GOM > OGN. Nothing else matters.

Yah, it feels like it's still Brood War being played. And that's bad, because this is 2011. It looks like it's being broadcast on a TV from 1987. Someone said a cable TV broadcast was a good thing. I don't think they've actually watched any modern technology e-sports broadcast and have only been watching BW. Cable TV broadcasts in 320p are ruining e-sports.

4:3 and the graphics they put up aren't as good. The only plus for OGN is the recap after the breaks, but although that's professional it's rather annoying to watch if you saw it already.
