I basically turn off the sound/commentary whenever a Korean plays because of the anti-Korean bias that tool has. I get the impression it's less about him expressing what he wants and more about him trying to create a Bill O'Reilly/Simon Cowell "I can say whatever I want" image. EDIT: Oh, and for those saying Tastosis are biased, yes they are biased against good/bad players. They aren't biased against nationality, which is what makes Incontrol's comments so petty. Also, his trash talk is like it's coming from a drunk frat guy rather than anything witty or meaningful. Every time a foreigner plays the say they are rooting for them. Go back and watch the intros for the vods. Pretty much every time they admit as much. | ||

For any international event that I see on TV (Olympics, World Cup), the sports commentators and programming always show some bias for the home country. | ||

I feel like a lot of you ague/criticize just to do it. The nationality of a SC2 player is interesting.. sorry, I guess? | ||

Lol can you imagine the criticism if they started doing that? They got a bunch of angry posts for yelling GEE GEE which is pretty much the fundamental backbone of StarCraft casting! | ||

Part of what makes it interesting is different people do, in fact, go for different teams and sides. Why the hell shouldn't the commentators be cheering for someone too? It doesn't alter the game in any way, it doesn't change the outcome. The fact that Korea is, in general, dominate is an essential part of sc commentary. It makes for a grand underdog story. I'm just trying to imagine someone watching sc2 and yelling at their monitor "so much bias!". Cracks me up. Or, in a similar situation, a local sports team winning the grand final and the local paper running a story celebrating their win only to be inundated with angry letters from local population decrying the biased coverage. | ||

Welcome to real life, where people have natural tendencies to favor one thing over another :D That isn't completely true. Broadcasters, like the ones you see on ESPN, are suppose to be unbiased. The guy getting fired for clapping at the end of the Nascar race comes to mind.I know he was a reporter in the press box, not a broadcaster, but it still applies. There are plenty of things you could say that NASL has left to work on. In fact, I will list somethings where I feel like they could improve. 1. Gretorp + Incontrol need more time casting together. They also need to pick roles, imo. One as play-by-play and the other as color/analysis. I can understand with MLG neither had all kinds of time to cast a bunch of games to practice working together and I think that the relationship will develop over time. 2. I'd prefer they drop player interviews. That or put more time into them. KawaiiRice's interview sticks out in my head. What a waste of three minutes. Maybe put them on the NASL website as additional content people can opt into? They just seem to break up the flow of the show and add unnecessary length. That having been said, caster bias has not, to my mind, been an issue. | ||

In those instances it makes sense because it's countries competing against countries. For example, it's perfectly logical for the GSL World vs Korea battles to have biased commentary. But for those of you saying all commentators have bias, sure but I don't hear NBA or NFL sports commentators going "WELCOME TO THE EAST COAST BITCH! WEST COAST SUCKS WOOOOOO THEY MAD" | ||
