Even if silsol want's newcomers to do well or newplayers "even tho snute isn't that new" but i still want Nerchio to advance in his group mostly because i want to see how well he can do in the finals..

he's hired to play sc2, not an entertainer to amuse you.
This mindset is why NA aren't catching up. too caught up with the "image" instead of improving. I agree he could use some media training, but his true job should be good at the game instead of being a caster. That's what people like artosis and day9 exists for
Someone obviously doesn't pay attention to the BW scene in Korea.
I do, even though what you said is extremely irrelevant. You might as well tell me "someone obviously doesn't pay attention to the MMA scene in Asia". sc2 != broodwar.
you don't have a central organization like kespa that enforces "media training" and image building for top pros, and even then no amount of training is going to help some pros who are just shy in nature (pretty much most hardcore gaming nerds)
I rather MVP stay good if it means not needing to amuse you with piss poor English and crazy antics. He can be awkward, shy, or whatever, as long as he can professionally do his job and has results to show for it.
Also shyness is probably most us nerds can relate to, why is it so surprising that the best gaming nerd is shy infront of people?
Why can't he speak english and dominate? Plenty of other players seem totally capable. 3 of the most famous SC2 koreans worldwide are DRG, MKP, and MC.
I wonder why?
Being personable is investing in his future in the scene. It isn't simply to entertain us, it's to ensure he is still a major figure down the road. I'm not saying that the idiots who say "texting while casting is disrespectful" are right, but I am saying a little effort on Mvps part will go a LONG way.
You know who's probably more famous than all 3? MVP. He doesn't talk much, and even on GSL OtR he seems more conserved than others. And as long as he still delivers trophies and racks up insane amounts of money, I don't think anybody can tell him that he needs to be more "personable". The results really just speak for themselves.
Lol, MVP is nowhere near as popular as DRG, MKP and MC are.
Sorry...I beg to differ The sad thing is you can't even prove something like that
Then you are either: Arguing for the sake of arguing A blind fanboy A troll or A combination of the three.
In which case you are not worth having an intelligent conversation with because you will fail to see reason.
None of the above? Yeah those three are personable, and well-known. But MVP has RESULTS and that's made him more well-known that anybody else. Note that I didn't say more popular, just more well-known. And honestly, the only one of those three who I see as having a "future" past their SC2 careers is MC.
I wouldn't say results always make you very well known. I mean I bet more people in Korea know who Boxer is than Flash.

What? That comparison makes no sense. Boxer is popular because he was the dominate player (the first) when BW was most popular in Korea. His popularity is not due to his SC2 results...
EPT
and apparently its the only way to keep this awesome events coming.
