Separating WCS like this gave the illusion that it was "favoring" the inclusion of foreigners but still in the end becomes all about results/skill (aka Koreans) did anybody actually think this wcs would give foreigners a different chance, i think it's just the same as it was last year Definitely. When it was first announced I remember going into detail about why this is actually worse for foreigners because so many people thought the opposite.
I don't think it's worse for foreigners. It doesn't ameliorate their Blizzcon chances, but they definitely have better opportunities to show their skills in WCS.

Oh I'm all for it. I just would rather it be called like it is and not for the "lets get foreigners into Blizcon" that it was announced as

I really hope zergs start learning to use their ravagers so games like this don't happen anymore

2nd roach warren is very important to this strategy probably I hope.

Hey, at least WCG is dead, no more random guys from strange countries able to buy themselves a spot and play vs JD :p Too bad it's come so far again, but perhaps that's the way things work. We'll beat the Koreans at football and long distance ice skating. Good thing they beat us at figure ice skating. It's all about balance in the end

Tbh, my issue with Moonglade is that his voice sounds... I dunno, how do I say that? It sounds weird. Especially when talking about how attractive he finds Zest or the like, his voice just sounds... weird. I like him tho. I think the complete opposite. I love listening to moonglade, I'm starting to warm up to kane but I foundsomething weird about his voice too. wtf does "find his voice weird mean?" Do we really live in an age where top gm zergs can't get a gig because their voice is weird. lol... they're both native English speakers. Having a good voice is almost the n°1 thing to be a caster lol 100% disagree, though I guess the majority of the player base are total scrubs. You would think even silver and gold players could appreciate someone who actually knows the game. Who cares what they look or sound like? Have we ever had a caster that sounded so bad? People just need to get out of their shell and experience accents from different parts of the world. lol. I'm casting and I can tell you that it's the most important thing. People listening for something else than being entertained are such a minority (that you'll find on TL yeah) that you can say bullshit most of the time and get away with it. Just like in mainstreamed TV sports. What you're saying and what you sound like when you're saying it are two different things. No doubt, one needs to speak eloquently to be a caster. Unless you have a speech impediment, I don't see the problem. you don't have to be eloquent, basic english/whatever language is enough as long as you can engage people into the cast. And you need to have a good voice for it. So you can be retarded as long as your voice is good, right. well catspajamas was a good sc2 caster. He's not retarded but wasn't exactly knowledgeable about the game. Like TB when he began. Or tasteless these days.
What exactly makes a "good voice?" It seems impossible to define to me. It all depends on your own bias based on what accents you grew up listening to and societal brainwashing. The same kinda thing with white people being considered more attractive worldwide. It's just stupid.
CatzPajamas didn't just have a good voice. He has a nice brain. The ability to articulate his thoughts in an organized manner. Not everyone can do that.
Tasteless is a low tier caster. He's not going to be able to live off his glory days forever. People are catching on that he doesn't do any research on the players etc. You can't say he's more popular now then during the glory days of GSL.
Both the casters you mentioned stay relevant based on popularity and networking. Not their voice.
