I don't see any reason to run it in English anyway.

It's far more important to attract a good live crowd I'd think given the production costs and costs of hiring a venue like le grand rex. Selling out all the tickets to it was probably far better than extra couple of thousand on one stream.


Not to mention that Pomf & Thud are unknown outside of France, but huge in France. It would be dumb to cast in a language some or most of your fanbase isn't comfortable with.

This! There are enough english tournaments, the crowd wants french and they make everything special, so lets do it in french. my schooldays are waaaaaay back, but i understood most of the interviews ( however, almost nothing of the pretalk ), and in games I probably will switch to english!

Mute the French, but watch the screen and put on the sound of the english stream. English steam is subpar qualitywise.

Every Tournament in a non-speaking english country and we have the same discussion going on..

Get over it that not everyone speaks your language and enjoy the games.

who was the black metal band right now on stage?

Not true. This discussion doesn't take place during DH, IEM or GOM events.

They can have their one French stream. I'm enjoying my 3 streams in 1 stream.

i must say, all these highlight reels were edited really well. Other than some stream issues which is to be expected, pretty impressed with Iron Squid

As someone who speaks 3 words of French, I am perfectly fine with doing this. They have a lot of energy, and when I watched BW I was used to don't understand a thing. I don't really see the problem.
