BOOM!! @Champloo: Artosis is the omniscient sage of SC2's foreign scene; he'd be a big pickup for any team. He could coach, he could sponsor, or he could just continue to cast, lol. It's just getting his name even more out there. Heck, just by doing this, he's indirectly sponsoring this organization. I don't see the problem with this at all.... | ||

IMO SC2's great casters are one of the biggest reasons the viewing scene has grown so big over the past couple years. They don't get enough credit for being able to provide commentary that has something for both hardcore players and casual interlopers. I just showed two of my non-SC2-player friends Game 3 of Ryung vs Stephano at the MLG Summer Arena and they loved it. The fact that a game as complicated as SC2 can be digestible and fun to watch for extreme beginners is due almost entirely to Apollo and MrBitter doing an awesome job casting. djWHEAT, Tasteless, Artosis, and Day[9] all do a phenomenal job as well. Especially when compared to something like EVO. From what I've seen, the casters in most fighting games just do a lot of shouting with hardly any analysis. | ||

It's not really joining their group as you would a Team, but more like allowing them to represent you with the condition of sending off a few percent of revenue to them on gigs they garner for you (the client). I hardly hear of people joining public relations firms or joining talent agencies or record labels. You sign with them. Minor point, but I'm happy for them. Hope it becomes profitable for all involved. | ||

Someone brought up something that he thought people would like to know about on a forum, no need to be like that. On topic: I don't really see why casters affiliate themselves with teams apart from the people who cast their teams own tournaments :/ I don't think Xcobidoo is being too dismissive of the topic, derail a bit maybe, but at least his comment is about casters, just a bit negative. Some people care about this move for Artosis, some don't, still an opinion about the general topic in a broader sense. At the very least, a good starting point for another discussion. | ||

I think it's totally fine for US not to know about euro culture. Most culture comes out of the US nowadays, and what comes out of the EU is mostly local to be honest. I do call people ignorant when they say with 100% certainty that Sweden is a state in Germany though. It's happened a lot of times... Isn't John Madden a handegg player though? It's even less reasonable for us to know about him than it is for US people to know about Beckham, since handegg is such a local sport in the colonies. I've never seen a game of it being played on any sports channel here. Anyway, glad for Artosis. I don't quite see how he needs promotion though, as he's pretty much considered the hands down best caster for starcraft 2, and in my opinion sports in general to be honest. Holy shit he's brilliant at what he does. | ||

Nor did I imply that because I haven't heard of someone that they aren't famous. Nor did I fail to do a simple google search that would have clearly demonstrated to you that John Madden, despite you not having heard of him, is in fact an incredibly famous and talked about commentator of American football. What do you think the reaction of euros would have been if someone had made the same post using a famous European commentator as an example, and an American said "Never heard of him, don't know what you're talking about?" | ||

There are no famous European commentators afaik. Each country obviously have their own, as English is second language if even that in all countries but UK. | ||
