Or when Sos got almost no hype before his big win because the casters were obsessing over Jaedong.

This is not surprising given the viewership in korea vs the rest. Perhaps they think that this narrative increases the viewership. Tastosis would not accept it IMHO. Well Apollo is the mastermind hiring them, so of course this would happen | ||

But I mean there's no excuse to let Stats get knocked out of possibly his last tournament without mentioning his forthcoming enforced break from the game and this being possibly his last shot at glory. Part of what made Classic's last Blizzcon run so memorable was that everyone knew he was laying it on the line one last time and made the ballsiness of his blink DT build so much more hyped. I hope the casting for this game is alright, for whatever reason I find the Heromarine bias the consistently most insufferable in the scene, | ||

It's not hyping some david v goliath showdown if both of the players are goliaths. I was pretty tolerant of foreign bias as it did usually fit within the parameters of rooting for the underdog, which does resonate with plenty of people and does build a story. Nowadays it makes very little sense to be framing some matchups in that manner.

Hyping the foreigner aspect of Clem is fair because of the history of foreign terran. | ||
