ESL is boring. Their events have been boring unless they get lucky with an incredible crowd like in Katowice. Their production is boring too. ESL also has very little draw in the SC2 community. I like Kalaeris though. WCS EU will probably be a boring event that you'd only watch for the players. I hope they improve enough so that the viewers aren't left wondering about what WCS EU could have been if Dreamhack was chosen instead.

So @RotterdaM08 and I won't be able to cast WCS Quals today. Being told Blizz insisting that all English casts go to official WCS channels.

fuck blizzard! wtf! they just jelly because nasl stole nb1 english stream from the official wcs channel.




Came to the LR thread to see when the NASL cast would go up.


For the sake of clarity:

ESL told us that they would allow us to stream to WCS_Europe2.

Problem here is that since we're not officially involved in WCS we would essentially be working for free. 2 casters, 2 production people, 8+ hours dedicated to a stream channel that isn't ours. As much as Kev and I would love to cast the games, of course our boss isn't going to allow it.

So the dispute was "Is NASL allowed to stream WCS Qualifiers to NASL channels?".

The answer to that question, at least for now, is "no".

LOL....so it has nothing to do with not letting NASL cast, it is simply that you can't do it on the NASL channel, but have to use a WCS channel for a WCS tournament...DUH! If you guys were really so upset, cast it from home on the proper channel.

I'm shocked you guys thought you were going to get something out of casting something you aren't even a part of...your a community stream, you don't get paid!!! ffs, stop acting like it is someone stopping you from casting


Bro, it's not Ben or mine's call. We wanna cast more than anything and would _LOVE_ to do it for free, we simply can't just run this studio and get 2 production guys to work with us if our boss doesn't allow us. Just like anywhere else in the world we are supposed to work on a Wednesday, if our boss doesn't wanna use the resources to let us cast there is nothing we can do. I am actually really upset and couldn't care less on which channel its casted, i can understand my boss for not wanting to pay 4 people for something he has absolutely 0 return in though ( the production people are payed hourly and Ben and me are full time but if we are casting we are obviously not working on something else that does benefit nasl ) , but that's a different story. It doesn't change that Ben and me would love to cast, and skipping work to cast from home is not really an option, obviously my boss wouldn't like it if we are "suddenly" sick while we were just in the office, nor will the production be anywhere near as good, it will just be a webcam and a cheap microphone bedroom cast, not really what you guys are waiting for either I guess, I'm just sad since I just wanted to cast and I can guarantee you same goes for Ben, we wouldn't earn anything either way since we are full time employers so it makes no difference. We just wanna cast, but unfortunately I'm just a useless peon who has to follow orders and can't make any calls.

Very understandable. I just didn't like that it was being portrayed as blizzard stopping you from casting (before the clarification). Great cast yesterday, thanks.


I can understand that too and that was certainly not the case, I think Ben did his best to get that message out there as well, that's why in every post we made we also didn't say X or Y was the reason as it's always a little more complicated than that. Thanks for the nice words though~

Ya, it wasn't necessarily what ben said or how he portrayed it, but how it was interpreted by people..I think you guys did fine in explaining but people (including myself, sorry) took things a different way because of how a few people were interpreting it.

Anyway, if it's still going on maybe you guys can jump in at the end. Otherwise, we can all just enjoy kaelaris.

For the real tournament Kaelaris will not cast alone and if it's anything like last year then it will not be boring at all. Kaelaris casting with Hasu, Grubby and Tod was just great last year. Really hope they get Tod!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Did anybody watch BratOK the two previous days ? I saw the bracket and that he was defeated by goody and Welmu. It's been a long time since I've seen him play.

Just wondering how he was looking lately and in this qualifier.

Kaelaris with grubby during all the wcs qualifiers last year during all the qualifiers was like one of the best things ever.

I just jope WCS EU will have majority european casters / commentators instead of US ones. Europe has always bit rivalries running and casters bias is always nice add on

I don't think I can watch kaelaris solo cast all these games. He's a great caster but it's just not as fun with a solo guy. Especially since I have to listen more than watch (I'm at work). Bitterdam made the WCS really fun and exciting yesterday. It really, really sucks I don't have them to listen/watch today. I understand why, it just stinks!

If I am not mistaken, Dreamhack doesn't have a studio where they could run the offline part, as opposed to ESL. Basically, there was no other choice for Europe. Well, there is one small studio in Sweden, with the best SC2 observer and caster as part of it, but I am not so sure Blizz would want their WCS to have any connections with Mr. James Harding :D

Poor JackO, over 10k viewers and he has to kill his own pylon

Probably asked, but is this going to be finished today even though it's a larger bracket?
It takes a fool to remain sane.

I thought there was some tweet from Robert Ohlen when information about the new WCS was about to come out that hinted about Dreamhack being willing to build a studio in order to host WCS. I'll see if I can find it.
