Congratulations to MLG for actually trying to do something. eSports has hit a point where if we want it to become a serious way to earn a living then more money needs to be involved and generated. Once upon a time football wasn't the multi million pound world it is today. Look at Sky Sports for example. When they came about people rose up and complained that they would never pay to watch football (and other sports) but they are still here and are a major reason why clubs have so much money. $20 in the grand scheme of things is not a lot of money. Yes I understand that a lot of people don't work or are too young but really it's not a lot. Yet again the internet over reacts and demands free stuff. Flame away if you must, I've said my piece and expressed my opinion. And I think a lot of people, particularly the hardcore support, would consider that football is now a cesspool of spoilt brats on the pitch and greedy businessmen off it treating the supporters with contempt time and time again and spraying obscene amounts of money around. | ||

You dont see sport fans whine about whos commentating matches now do you? The problem is that there is such a huge difference between the top casters and the ones below. Also I know a lot of people complain and have problems watching some of the commentators on swedish TV for football matches. | ||

You dont see sport fans whine about whos commentating matches now do you? This isn't entirely true. I watch a lot of baseball and I will always turn off a game that is broadcasted by Joe Buck or Tim McCarver. It is just as bad to generalize people as pathetic because they enjoy a personality that they are exposed to for a significant time over the course of an event. | ||

You dont see sport fans whine about whos commentating matches now do you? Sure you do. At least in France and Switzerland, I've heard a lot of people complain about soccer/tennis casters and some caster duos are much more popular than others. But yeah, maybe it's more common in eSport. I think it's due to the massive difference between the top casters and the other ones. | ||

I think it's due to the massive difference between the top casters and the other ones. I agree, it's the same in Germany wehen there's football (it's football, not soccer ) on. Some comentators are generally hated by everyone. Sure, you still watch it but that's because you have no choice if you want to see your favourite team or the national team or whatever play. I've watched quite a few games on mute myself though  If on the other hand the situation was comperable to eSports and there were two matches of teams you equally like and the match is equally important (i.e. it's not like team a plays in the finals and team b plays a practice game) and one of them is free/the other one you have to pay for I'm pretty sure the person casting the event would influence your decision on what to watch. The main difference is that such a situation practically never occurs in more established sports. In football most people support one team and don't have much love for any other team so they will watch their team, regardless of who's casting (and ofc they will still hate on the commentator). In SC2 though people generally cheer for several players so if you can either watch your favourite player who is casted by your least facourite casting duo or your second favourite player casted by your favourite duo, most people prefer watching their second favourite player. Also I agree that the difference between top casters and the other ones is way bigger than in traditional sports. | ||
