GSL got a little bit boring lately and I couldn't find out why. It's really a shame that the current english GSL casters are so outclassed by the korean casters -_- WE have to tell GOMTV !! | ||

Aside from the GSL, casters like JP, Wheat, and TB are non-satisfactory as well. They come up short in both game play knowledge and enthusiasm. though I do want to acknowledge that I feel like they fulfill a more casual-friendly role to the e-sports scene, and maybe help acclimate newer viewers to the more basic elements of the game. The only real exception I can think of is day[9], but even he comes short in enthusiasm (Husky is the opposite: overly enthusiastic but no insightful knowledge). I'm a Korean American and even though I'm much more comfortable with English as my primary language, I grew up watching SC:BW with the default Korean commentating. I believe the foreign scene is more than capable of performing, imo it's a matter of accepting the fact there is ways to go to improve (crucial), and stepping up to the plate. I would love to feel this engaged and excited about a game I'm watching, the next time I come across a vod commentated by foreign casters. | ||

The play-in-play-style is similar to what Khaldor used to do when casting in WC3, which in my opinion he wasn't able to convert into SC2. When he tried to talk that fast and excitedly in the beginning of his SC2 casts he often just repeats the same sentence in lack of something meaningful to say. Plus with the language barrier he slides too often into phrases, which is very hard to fix :| | ||

I can describe every single SC2 game in this way but ignoring the subtleties of micro, decision making and scouting. | ||

Please do more of these, and English commentators (specifically the Code A commentators) - look to emulate this style! | ||

Yes that was the whole game, and the koreans nailed the analysis and still made it exciting. The english version of this cast would be "Hey artosis, ask me a question." | ||
