It isn't a fanboyism thing. They simply understand the game on a level English casters cannot comprehend and they can relay that information to the fans. Most are former BW pros themselves. Nal_Ra, Kingdom, TheMarine, Shark and others have played SC far longer than almost everyone else on the planet. There are many people here who understand both Korean and English and I have never read about someone who actually favors the English cast over Korean. Your comment is screams ignorance of everything that is SC in Korea. And being enthusiastic is what sells a crowd. If I was at MLG I wouldn't want to listen to the two most mundane people on Earth. It is one of the reasons why Day9 is so successful at live audiences. I'd rather listen to this on loop than guys making lame jokes and talking about games that aren't even SC/2. | ||

I remember Mr.Hoon's blog where he said that Gom commentators are ex-OGN commentators. Also, I remember Lee Hyun Joo casting CS in OGN. But I myself don't know that well. | ||

And as someone who can't understand Korean, English commentary is a big boost. OGN sure does have a nicer studio though, but as it is I'd say GOM wins. I agree  | ||

Here is some subbed Korean BW commentary: Part 1 + Show Spoiler + It's miles ahead of any english commentary. They are so much better both in game knowledge and in energy. | ||

It's like : who has better production ? LucasFilm or your dad filming your birthday ? It's not like they have the same budget... OGN just broadcast, GOM gives 150k$ per month for prizepool. This poll is really comparing what shouldn't be compared. But GOM has still some things to learn that wouldn't cost anything. The doom zooms for instance :D edit : someone misunderstood my post, OGN has more budget, well, I think at least. | ||

Not having watched, I can't render an opinion, but from what brood war I have watched I know I would prefer english commentary. This may be a coincidence. Personally I love both games equally. | ||

Just because GOM have the money doesn't mean they're better by default. Remember, NASL had a pretty mighty production budget to work with for season 1. | ||

I do think that I would prefer OGN if I understood korean. I would also be perfectly satisfied with good English subtitles to the stream, but as it is: GOM. | ||

They know that when OGN transitions to SC2, they'll fix the aspect ratio. They know that they would probably get English casters (and many of them don't care - they apparently just like people yelling and excited. I prefer the in-depth analysis of an Artosis in a language I can understand but to each their own). They know that OGN would actually start doing real SC2 filler content and produce screens and player photo pages with records and results like GSL does. The fact is that right this second if you gave me a night of GSL Code S Ro32 broadcasts vs a night of OGN WCG Korea Ro32 broadcasts, I would watch the GSL without a question or doubt in my mind. The production RIGHT NOW is far superior at GSL. I'm sorry, but it is true in pretty much every single way besides the replay analysis (well and the larger crowds). Even the observing was a little iffy because the observer didn't seem all that used to the new functions. The poll doesn't say "Which of these will have better production in 6 months?". It doesn't say "Which one of these was better in Brood War?". It doesn't say "Which one of these do you like more?". The poll says "SC2 production?", and in my mind the answer is pretty clear. | ||

And I'd have to go with them because it helps me learn the Korean names of the players. I only know the BW players' actual names haha. | ||
