the korean casting is always way better anyway (as any bw fan would tell you). and like this they will probably not implement the stupid fucking pay to view system. That's not the point. | ||

That is, unless Kespa partnered with two different organizations in NA/EU to broadcast for them, MLG for the weekend matches that will air in the evening in PST/EST and the GDstudio to cast the weekday matches that will air mid-day for EU. Or he's trolling. | ||

But I still feel very bad for DoA, he's definitely one of the good ones, a great caster and a hard worker behind the scenes, so I really hope OGN is able to salvage this situation and get their English casts back. If the MLG rumors are true, I don't quite understand how they are going to be able to pull off a quality live production from across the globe and there is no way I'm watching a rebroadcast or from-replay cast. We'll just have to wait and hope things turn out well. It's times like these i'm thankful for how well GOM has treated the foreign audience all this time, with hands-down the best dual-language cast I could even imagine. It's too bad it hasn't worked out that way for the KeSPA side of things as of yet. so much truth in one post ^^^^^^^^^^ also lol @ people saying they won't watch without a English stream, who are you kidding? | ||

Are you telling me the only reason you were going to tune in was to watch English casts or to watch awesome games? Personally I couldn't give a flying fuck about this, I just want to watch some god damn starcraft 2!!! Obviously some people on TL won't care. But everyone here speaks and understands English. Not nearly as many people speak or understand Korean. And language barriers are a pretty big deal for a lot of people watching a game that has commentary, unless you want to watch it on mute. As important as high quality games are, many viewers (especially the newer audience who hasn't been watching Korean commentary since BW and playguuuu, etc.) need good casting in a language they understand, partially to keep them focused and hyped and entertained, and partially for the learning and insight. Regardless, the fact that apparently Kespa is straight-out refusing to have English commentators is a blow to the globalization process for them, and it shows that they're not trying to be team players or appeal to a bigger crowd. I hope they get some blowback (either in their numbers being smaller than GOM's, or pressure from MLG) so that English commentary (by casters the community feels comfortable with) is at least an option. Because a lot of people really do care about this. It's not like having English commentators means you can't have Korean ones too. | ||

I wouldn't put the entire blame on KeSPA in this situation. From what I understand, it's IEG's greed more than anything. | ||
