I do know that, what i mean is i dont understand why there even is a swedish stream, are there actually swedes who prefer swedish commentary over english? me and my friends dont, curious if anyone is out there who prefers it...

Exactly the same feeling here. I just can't stand swedish casting actually, I dunno why.

I dunno, I feel it's rather refreshing with a swedish caster. Probably wouldnt want it full time though.

Can't they just speak english instead of swedish?.. The general skill level of english in sweden is enough to be able to manage an ok cast atleast, that'd open up the stream for everyone and add a way more enjoyable lingo than the swedish one for sc2.

Edited: Realized i sounded a bit bitter.. ^^

I read your last 3 comments and kept thinking "the Swedish would disagree" but all of you are Swedish... wierd, could it just be the casters?

Who has played today except Nani vs Bischu?

I think it's interesting hearing some swedish casting.

Ya, swedish simply isn't suited for SC commentary.

Doesn't really matter how good the commentator is, it's annoying anyway. =/

All I know is that Nani beat Bischu 2-1.
I think Morrow won vs BSW but I only saw one game and we was toying with him in that one.

I think it's more about the commentators. Right now there is too much stuttering and weird language usage. It will probably get better when the casting duo get some more experience.

I have literally never heard swedish commentary that I could enjoy.

I would much rather have english casters. Those guys whos currently comentating are really unproffesional. The guy who speaks the most (dnu name), hes really terrible and seems to know nothing about the game.

I like having commentators doing it in Swedish. The main problem with Swedish is that you can't translate things to make them sound even remotely cool. Translating the unit names for example would result in shiver-worthy results. Another problem with Swedish streams in the past has been the sub-par casting. Look at SVT coverage of Dreamhack for example or the people on the Aftonbladet stream of the Dreamhack invitational - they simply don't have the knowledge or energy of international casters.

In this case that's simply not a problem. The guys from Rakaka are doing a really good job on both production value and casting. Hoping we'll see them continue with their casting in Swedish and bring in other casters to do it in English on a separate stream. DJWheat and some co-caster perhaps.
