To be blunt, this is a poor decision by OGN. Having doa, and potentially moletrap, casting simply cements their status as the secondary starcraft 2 tournament in Korea (as perceived by nonkoreans). And as such, I doubt this will do much in the way of helping OGN grow their foreign SC2 audience. They would have been much better off securing someone like Sayle which, at the very least, would have set them apart from signing GOM's leftovers.

I wonder how popular the official OGN english stream will be. Most proleague followers love the korean casting and the ones that don't enjoy it watch Sayle instead, which has a pretty big following from both "BW" and "SC2" people now.

And it seems like OGN are going for DoA and Moletrap(?) and thats a duo the community didn't like when they were at GOM. So unless they are going to hunt down restreams (or if Sayle stop casting live) it just feels like the offical english stream will catch the short end of the stick here.

Most will still watch the OGN english stream.
Who watches the GSL in Korean? Almost nobody outside of Korea, since there is an English alternative.
