Caster bashing is really unnecessary. The casters of MarsTV are all hard working and passionate people, it's just thing that are beyond their control that result in this situation.

Thank you for the interview. It was somewhat depressing to hear about how poor the proSC2 scene is there. It was also disconcerting to hear about potential failings with Blizzard over their release of Wings of Liberty there. I hope they are doing their best not to "assume" too much with Heart of the Swarm.

I'm from China and it is so sad that most of my friends don't plays SC2 in China even most of them were ever blizzard fans. Even tho now i live in NA, i still don't have a lot of friends who play SC2 in real life, just don't get the reason.

Thanks for the interview, but there are some inconsistancies:

monk: What's the current state of the SCII scene in China?

Archer: In general, SCII in China is way better than people might think. We have thousands of new players entering the game. We have major tournaments going on and broadcasting everyday, with a lot of news, videos, interviews etc. But the problems is huge as well. A lot of players leave after trying SCII as they think it's hard. The remaining core players are mostly old BW fans coming along, having established a career or family. SCII for them is mostly watching tournaments and video.

The pro scene is even more lackluster. We have no more than 20 full-time progamers, and most are veteran players dated back to even BW days. We rarely see new blood coming in. Only iG and Spider have team houses now, and the rest few teams are only training online. Our players are actually pretty good, with 7-10 always being in Korean GM, but the lack of tournaments results in a lack of experience, which leads to the biggest bottle neck for Chinese players.

I think he means there's lots of small online tournaments and foreign rebroadcasts, but no big LANs.

Nice article monk!

Since this interview, Archer has quit Netease and thus s.163.com for personal reasons. Netease is moving its game channel(game.163.com) to Hangzhou, but Archer wanted to stay in Beijing.


Owe. What does that mean for SC2 coverage in china?

Someone will replace him.


Phew.. from the way I read the article it sounded like he was the only decent editor in the China SC2 scene!

so sad to hear about this, rly wish the scene in china succeeds

The saddest part about it is, the only way that SC2 could reach as much success in China as Dota or BW would be if it was 100% free like LoL or Dota 2.

However, the very insinuation of this idea on my part is absurd. Blizzard would lose so much in the process.

I'm not so sure about the passionate part, the lack of any sort of tournaments/analysis-vods by MarsTV is really disturbing. Can you think of a single foreign organizer that ONLY does casting and nothing else? They r in for the money and that's it...

Edit: PS it doesn't help that their casting is bad as well (knowledge, humor, articulation are all lacking ... can you get any worse at casting a game??)
