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 Korean GomTV commentators are ex-ogn commentators. OGN replaced them with better ones. And Tasteless was much worse than korean OGN commentators during GomTV classic anyway, nothing changed since then. And not having to pay for the VODs is just so good. Not to mention OGN's studio and observers. And the fact that 4:3 resolution is the biggest complaint of the people means ogn is doing everything else right. | ||

This is the only correct answer. GomTV has the absolute best english casting in the entire scene. WCG Korea had NO english casting. So if you ask a primarily english website which production was better, well... Realistically? GomTV is the better SC2 broadcaster, no doubt. But OGN brought much of their e-sports expertise to the broadcast, and all the things they did right demonstrated all the things Gom could do better. Hell, for the Korean viewer, it may even have been better, I don't know. OGN definitely did a great job, lack of english aside. And the best thing? OGN IS BROADCASTING SC2! FUCK YEAH! | ||

I dunno, I wasn't even that big on BW. So it's not like I'm struck by nostalgia. I just think it's better overall, their experience shows in every aspect. As a gamer, it's simpler for me to put it this way: -GomTV right now, looks like HoN did on release. It had much better graphics than DotA, it had the engine right for the game. You didn't need things like WarKeys to set up hotkeys. -OGN broadcast, is the original DotA, no matter its flaws, it's an irreplaceable classic. | ||

So there for, GOMTV leads the poll. But in reality, OGN are the better casters. | ||

OGN: - Better Observers - Better Camera Usage (doom zooms) - Enthusiasm - Professionalism - Post-Game Recaps GOM: - English commentary (racist and unfair criteria), - Graphics (even though free stream is as good as goms, HD available on ogn.net for free if you can read korean, no lag!!!!!) Remember GOM was the worst broadcaster back in BW, if OGN got a full hold of SC2 there would be no contest.

Often when Tastosis says something funny, it doesn't have much to do with the game, but Korean commentators will often say something funny that is also relevant to the game. (Exception is Tasteless on BW, he was at that level then, he seems to have lost a lot of his commentating flair in SC2) The commentator was like, "The tanks became the protoss's friends!" Lol on commentators on 21:35, "This is the time where the opponents say I wish he take a break and go to the bathroom, but at this stage of the game even if Stork goes to the bathroom this is game" LOLL Also if a commentator gets you much more engaged in a game, then that's tantamount to his ability as a commentator. | ||

They almost never had the production tab open, and he would also many times cut to a battle late which was frustrating. Production tab is terrible for spectating IMO. | ||

Wat?! How does liking a commentary in a language that you understand is ¨racist¨? I voted for OGN but that is a ridiculous argument. And I think you are selling GOM short there,but its your opinion. I just don´t like the racism argument lol | ||
