so basically the proleague will go back to the days of grainy videos being commented on and posted on youtube.... in 2012?? Kespa is like a man dying of thirst in the sahara refusing a cup of water because he doesn´t like the color of the cup.

Sure it was a douche move to do this to OGN on such a short notice, but given how shitty the english OSL coverage was, can you blame them for wanting to change if MLG gave them a opportunity?

I thought games where Grubby casting was good quality.

im waiting for the news about EG and TL withdrawing from PL in case there would be no english cast.

Regardless. If there truly won't be any english professional casting (actual casting prouction and not some rebroadcast over korean stream bullshit) Then not many people out side korea will watch it to be fair and I can't see EG-TL sign up for a second season, They will go to GSL team league instead. This really sucks for the EG-TL team.

I'm pretty sure Kespa has the foreigner audience in mind when they offer the spot to EGTL, so it would make sense that they found another partner (not OGN) to broadcast the match in English. I wouldn't worry yet.

I do feel absolutely horrible for Doa though.

I wonder who MLG would have cast if that agreement came to fruition. In all honesty those inclined to watch Pro League will still watch it, I don't think it will have as profound of an effect as some seem to be suggesting.

I personally won't be watching this now.
If Kespa want to be a big player in sc2, they need to please the foreign fan more. This is not a way to do that.
That's why i liked GOM, they made sc2 global, giving us the best from korea.
Now Kespa is back to try and control everything, and basicly ignore the huge foreign interrest in sc2 in korea.

So I guess the alternative is to rely on community commentators. Turn on your favourite person and then turn on the korean stream muted. Although you will get zero game sound. Ugh.

I'm not sure how you can think that this is them ignoring the foreign fans. If they invite foreign teams to SPL, they obviously have a plan to exploit the possibility of a lot of foreign viewers.

A lot of people rushing to conclusions and not using their brains properly here.

For me its okay enough to watch it in korean broadcast, their casting gets me more pumped anyway although i dont understand what they say.

I feel bad for you Doa tho since casting proleague was one of the reasons to move there. (if im correct that is.) Hope you have some backup plans.
