I actually found the korean casts pretty easy to follow, at first you just start by picking up the various starcraft words and team/player names but you'll get the general idea faster than you think. | ||

 It's high quality production and I like it. Have bought a premium pass to every season and will continue to do so! | ||

Another misconception is that seen is that GSL is meant for streaming. This is how they started out but now the GSL is being broadcasted on AniBox HD (Code S games and GSTL are on Cable, Code A games and qualifiers, can't remember if the Up and Down matches are broadcasted). So I guess you can compare production between the two, but again it is difficult because of the nature of the WCG rules and regulations and the prestige of a national title. The studios give Ongamenet a big advantage, you can not cram much more into the GOM studio at all. If SC2 is broadcasted more at Ongamenet's studio I'm sure they'll through in two more booths to make an easier turnover of players and equipment as at least one computer has to be switched in between sets. I was watching most of the games on TV since I have it, the only thing kills me about the 4:3 resolution is the obscure command bar (if i'm saying that right), in other words it's just bulky. But the units look awesome, and I think the Observer is catching all the action, so the ratio doesn't bother me too much. I was surprised to see SlayerS'Jessica and the other members of Slayers' in the Crowd for the first day, I wish I was there; I didn't know about it until five minutes before it went on the air. I am hoping that when more people know about it that they'll go and show their support. I hope I'll have the chance to go in the future. I think the crowd size between the two organizations are similar except when there are foriegners playing, and with Ongamenet's studio they have the potential to get bigger crowds than what they have. It will be another topic to see how many more fans SC2 will get to those that haven't made the switch yet. And now that SC2 is in the same stomping grounds as BW what other notable names might make a switch over to SC2? No matter who is playing the WCG tournament, they all have to consider themselves lucky that they are playing in the most famous booths on the grandest stage of e-sports. For most of these guys, they grew up watching wishing they could play there. For others like MarineKingPrime.WE and IMNestea, it is a chance at redemption as they were former Brood War players. MarineKing made it round of 16 so I think he is proving the naysayer's wrong and not fortunate Nestea didn't make the most of his opportunity but with three championships to his name, I don't think he's worried about it too much. In summary (even though I may of went off topic), Ongamenet did a great job and that's why I voted for them; everything that is in Brood War cast now playing SC2 (finally!) and the great implications for the future of the game. GSL is doing a great job, I too have bought every season I will continue to. | ||

the only thing OGN has going for them are the cool zoom ins on the players faces in the middle of a game. | ||

I don't give a damn about the graphics. I don't watch starcraft because it looks pretty. The replay analysis is also really great too, because I actually do learn things from that. I don't understand their specific point, but I learn a great deal from what the casters have chosen to highlight. | ||

The time between games is absolutely ridiculous, which is terrible for not only the viewers but the players as well. At points there was upwards of ~15 mins between games, which is pretty terrible to me. As you pointed out, I think this is a WCG complaint in an OGN discussion thread. | ||

Artosis & Tasteless: Seem bored and don't comment on what might happen. They have a tendency to repeat the same sentences again and again. Wolf & Moletrap: Both are really into the games. Wolf's ingame knowledge is awesome, while Moletrap actually knows a lot about the players and what is happening around the actual game. This makes them, in my eyes, the best casting duo. Regarding Doa, he is best paired off with Wolf, and worst with Moletrap. He is an ok caster, but I do prefer Wolf/Moletrap. | ||

Korean commentators are 100x better than any english commentator. Tastosis just hurts the viewing experience for me. Enthusiastic commentators do it for me. TobiWan for example made Dota 2 Tournament games feel much more epic. There is no SC2 caster that adds any real value to the games. | ||

No explanation needed. This is objective shit, not subjective. Casters: GOM < OGN This one is subjective. I chose OGN mainly because I undestand both languages, and when there is no language barrier, OGN trio of casters triumph over any, I said ANY group of casters. They are unmatched in both enthusiasm (which does not surprise me at all) and game knowledge (which surprised me seeing this is their first time casting SC2). Other less(but still) relevant stuff Overlay: GOM > OGN Music: GOM > OGN Studio: GOM < OGN Organization: GOM > OGN and OGN gets a PLUS for the replay analysis feature. Overall: GOM > OGN They said they will make an effort to improve their computers and image quality for the next week's cast so let's wait and see. | ||

OGN has the legacy that we ex-BW followers know and love. They are what every other business model has tried to mimic, and many have done just as good. However, there is one characteristic about OGN that I personally feel cannot be mimic'd by any other company (such as GOM), and that is commentary. GOM can actually do whatever they want, such as having a huge studio, perfect overlays, and a bigger fanbase, but if their commentators cannot compare to Themarine and the likes, then there is actually no feasible way for them to ever be on that same level. For me, and for many other die-hard BW lovers, we tuned in, not knowing much Hangul, and still felt like we knew EXACTLY what the commentators were saying, just because they were able to paint a picture of a foreign language with so much passion in our minds, and it perfectly translated to the image we visually saw. I feel that Tastosis, while great, is no way near as passionate and talented as OGN commentators, in terms of generating spectator hype. This is 100% subjective, and this is only MY opinion. I feel that many people share this view, and many others many deviate from it. The point is simple though: I feel that OGN has a better chance of being better than GOM, by simply fixing some overlays, hardware, and visualization. GOM, on the other hand, can match and beat OGN in terms of visuals, but they can never match the intangibles, which are the legacy commentators who have burning passions. I'll conclude my analysis with one segmented clip, for anybody who is new / unaware of what OGN really is: | ||
