His TvZ was a little bit scary, incredibly ruthless. Saying that, Symbol losing to Seed doesn't mean he is instantly bad; so the possibility of both zergs progressing is highly likely. Symbol is one hell of a beast. At the very least we should get some sick, sick games! | ||

At the very least we should get some sick, sick games! Byun vs Symbol is very interesting to me. I feel right now Symbol is better then Nestea but Byun is a beast. It will be interesting to see them both. I just hope DRG can make it out of the group without getting to Entombed Valley. | ||

OSL is not going to be very popular with foreigners I don't think, I don't know if OGN cares about that or not though.

OGN is not going to reach a large foreign audience without an official English stream, unless Sayle commentates every day and everyone watches that. Even if that does happen the numbers will not be on an official stream and OGN may not even know that the numbers are there and abandon all plans to cater to international viewers because of the low count on official streams. ( this may have already happened and might be the reason why there is no English stream, actually. ) | ||

1. Just because it's been done this way for ages doesn't mean there isn't a better solution to broadcast to foreign audiences. 2. Korean commentators and English ones have completely different cultures behind them. Go check out how many Tastosis quotes there are on youtube and you realize that international esports has taken on a life of its own. 3. Please be courteous to the fact that there are people out there who actually enjoys UNDERSTANDING what they are listening to. You can downplay the language barrier, but it's indisputable that not understanding korean leaves you missing out on social commentaries, jokes and cultural references. In that respect you miss out 80% of the delivered content. The times have changed. Keep that in mind before you post something stupid. | ||

I find korean commentators to be superior yes, but don't act like I tried to assert that belief onto you so you don't need to get all that defensive. | ||

You presented it as a general statement, not an opinion. "Meh, korean casters are far better to listen to even if you don't understand them." Superior how, anyways? It is obviously not in game knowledge since you dont understand a word they are saying.. you prefer to listen to higher/more eager yelling? I honestly ponder on how all the old BW fans concluded they simply are better.. love (for the game) makes blind they say. | ||

The bw boys prefer korean commentary because it's what they have listened to for the past decade. Obviously the sc2 guys will prefer english commentary (or perhaps they may enjoy korean too) because sc2 started out having english commentary | ||

English casting is great, but when you already have an understanding( I'm no expert but I know whats going on) towards a game a lot of things that are spoken in a cast will seem repetitive and i'm not saying thats bad, well these someone new watching every day, but then whats left? English casters rarely get me excited, their jokes are good but thats it....Korean casters give me that feeling of pure hype and excitement, and I know they're knowledgeable thanks to subbed games and translations. | ||
