Basically.. The current system of amature casters using services like YouTube is really really good from the viewer standpoint. The GomTV clean source system doesn't seem like it matches up (from the end-user experience, no idea if it is easier for the casters themselves). Harder to navigate, harder to find videos, lower quality, etc etc. But on the otherhand if people using it is going to further encourage GomTV to keep extending their reach to the foreign community; it is a good thing. I am just not looking forward to the inevitable day when suddenly OGN/MBC/GOM decide to start sending shakedown letters to youtubed matches. :| Starting to gear up their own fan-cast systems seems like a (small) step in that direction. But if the result of walking in that direction is professional english casting for the other leagues as well... Then perhaps that is a worthy trade off. | ||

This post sounds like a relatively favorable review of the system. | ||

Anyways this opinion is based on assumptions I made, does anyone know if those assumptions were correct or not? | ||

If you could cast it in your native language and then try and get your friends to watch SC with you - the bigger the foreign community gets. Definably a plus- if you don't speak english or korean, who is going to cast for you? This allows everyone to try to cast, not just english speakers/korean speakers. That being said, I bet that if you try to cast in english/korean, not very many people are going to choose to listen to you over choosing to listen to tasteless. | ||

Given the ammount of korean i've picked up purely from watching VODs, i'm sure watching a few spanish, french, italian & german casts would do my vocabulary good. Any words i'm not familiar with - i'll look 'em up, but mostly you can figure it out from context unless it's a local reference or saying. | ||

Ah good point, I was typical english speaking person assuming all people speak english. | ||

Don't get me wrong, he's hillarious to listen to and is quite knowledgable but he still makes amateur mistakes and covers them up with his comedy. I think others can sprout with the same style and appeal just as well. | ||

And Youtube is not designed for SC, GomTV is. So once they add more features it could be MUCH better than Youtube for watching commented vods.

This has the potential to be 100 billion times better than Youtube. Which increases the size of the foreign community. Which means more sponsors in future tournaments, better money prizes, leading to foreign pro players etc etc This is absolutely huge for every SC player of any level. Wish you all could comprehend how big this is. | ||

i guess they're ruining the the bandwidth for the main-stream^^ and i agree w/ Durak... tasteless is sometimes(on other occasions he's really brilliant) not "professional" enough .... badly organized and mixing up facts or words .... seems he spent more time on clubbing than on other things but on the other hand maybe he was just nervous cuz of the grand finals and being on the cam for a longer time yesterday | ||

Hopefully GOMtv broadcasts enough quality games so GOMcast doesn't die. I wonder if they will let users upload their games and commentate (Like White-Ra's commentaries). It's up to GOMtv to make it more useable than youtube. At the same time, all the MSL/OSL games will have to still have youtube commentaries because I doubt they'll let their material be GOMcasted. | ||

so basically i think the idea is okay, although I don't like GOM's implementation of it; they are just missing too many useful features. | ||

i wouldn't use it simply because my voice sucks, and i dont think i would be a good shout caster such as diggitysc combat-ex klazartsc ex, but its a good idea! but i dont see many people using it. | ||
