Let's just say he did a fucking baller job at WCS and leave it at that. No. He's just good. He's really solid. Better than a lot of the sc2 guys even and better than any translator since he actually has a stage presence. | ||

Perhaps the fact that they are too shy to use the language makes it harder to remember it, even if it's written english. Obviously the fact that their own language is really different from english + their geographical location is a huge reason too. Also I don't know about Korea but in Japan english teachers are usually really bad. Actually In Korea they are using English with their own speech in hangul. Many people I guess know English there. I even heard that sometimes they called 51th state of the USA. | ||

Hopefully Chobra, or other great translators like him, will appear at other tournaments so that this kind of coverage can be done. HSC? o-O | ||

Its been a bit different, but definitely the same main thing. | ||

I remember it being done at a western event in the past, it might have been a NASL finals weekend. | ||

It is a big language, but there are greater languages too. You'll find that tons of people people in Africa are multilingual as well. It makes sense though because in those places you're talking about a lot of different cultures live relatively closer together whereas in places like the US, South America (excluding Brazil), and China, the same language is common over huge areas and so there's less need to learn a second one. | ||

Regardless, it's true that the whole 'european' melting-pot of the past two milleniums has brought things together. Would have been better to compare French with Spanish and Italian though. German and English are related but French isn't, it's a Romance language so it's related to Spanish, Italian and Romanian | ||
