Now it seems wasted unless a miracle happens. Any chance that MLG will use the casting team that was planned, Doa? | ||

It's WAAAY more professional and I've learned more about soccer by watching them than I've learned during the years I played the damn sport. For me it's similar with SC2. That's why I love high analysis casters more than anything else. If need be, I'll still watch a game if there's like technical difficulties and no english stream for some reason. But KeSPA is really just being a fucking dick, as always, that's why I won't be watching this except for EG-TL matches. It's not like you are making a stand or something by just watching EG-TL matches. Thats pretty much how everyone does with Proleague since it's so many matches and you kind of follow your team only just like in regular sport. Sure people that ain't KT or SKT1 fans may watch those rival matches aswell because they are awesome, and you also have people actually watching everything because they are FPL freaks. But yeah, nothing else is really expected from you when you have a team in Proleague. | ||

Yes that's a very bad thing unless you want to go back to the old days where you had 20 guys on TL having a nice group chat and wondering why they cant grow Esport! | ||

You might be right with that but I still know that I would watch every single game I have time for if KeSPA didn't dick around. So at least I know that they lose a potential viewer at times. I'm not under the illusion that me not watching these games is really gonna change anything but hey, if everybody thought that way we'd never get anywhere. I only watch EG-TL matches because my support for those teams > my not-support for KeSPA. | ||

Firstly, this is a move that does nothing but hinder KeSPA's acceptance by the sc2 fanbase that was not BW hardcores. And that fanbase is far more extended than the BW hardcores that will forgive KeSPA (or even praise them) for the shit they throw to other organisations/foreign fans. Bad move, simple as that. Secondly, there will definately be a restream of Proleague's games in english. Or even muting the sound and talking over the live stream or whatever. After al, EG-TL has entered (and also EG-JD, all the BW legends playing, etc) and now that the interest for PL has peaked, there will be enough demand for it. Thirdly, some people here -who I won't dare express my oppinion about them and their e-peens,- brag about prefering to watch the Korean streams over the English streams. Bravo! We get it, you are mega-Korean-gosu-hardcore-elephant-Kpop. You were on this site since the dawn of time. But here we are talking about the rest of the SCII fans outside of Korea who DO NOT want to be forced listen to a language they don't understand. This attitude of KeSPA should not be praised by anyone, especially if you call yourself an old time SC fan. How does this stream of disappointing and in some cases plain retarded (*cough*Rain forfeiting codeS to hurt GomTV viewership and grab foreign attention and subsequently failing both in and out of Korea*cough*) actions, help SCII grow? It only creates a circle of self entitled fanaticism by the BW diehards and a negativity towards everything KeSPA by the rest of the foreign community (who I repeat are severely outnumbering the former category). I really hope both EG and TL consider this cancelation of the OGN broadcast as an unnecessary power play that conflicts with their interests and start showing KeSPA they cannot get away with anything they want anymore. + Show Spoiler + Finally, as for my stance on this, I am torn (as I believe many people here). Boycotting KeSPA because the removal of their SCHEDULED official stream is an offence to me as a foreign fan VS watching the famed Proleague come live on SCII with all the BW legends plus EG-TL as a bonus. But since it's not the first or the second or even the third time they are throwing shit at other organisations, people and foreign fans in the short time they are involved in SCII, boycotting them so they see there is a backlash caused by their shady politics, seems more appropriate to me. | ||

Get a couple English casters together and have them commentate the games as they're going on. There's no need for a rebroadcast to do this. They can also generate revenue from the viewers. That's only a solution for some people. You HAVE to watch live, and timezones mean that is simply not an option for some people. | ||

P.S. Considering DoA's overall gentlemanly countenance and commitment to the SC, I have to believe they screwed him pretty good to get this response. | ||

No ultimately it is the games loss, he is not the only one that will not watch due to this. It means less views, less exposure for the sponsors and then less money for the teams. And it will for SURE not create any more followers outside of Korea, English Casters could at least potentially do that. | ||
