I didn't watch the video, I'm just taking this opportunity to ask you to stop casting GSL. I'm sure you're a really nice guy, but casting is not your thing. For the love of god please stop. I'll likely be banned for this, but it's worth it if you read it. If you insist on casting, you need to stop saying what HAS happened, and start talking about what WILL happen. Sometimes you harp on an event which has occurred for 2 minutes after it has happened.
Also, if you and Wolf say "GG" together at the end of a game one more time you may as well bend him over after the match and get it over with. Sometimes I watch the GSTL on mute... I don't what what the hell else to say here. PLEASE STOP CASTING. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Man, Khaldor seems to be very accurate of what he says. When people blame their teammates and when they solo blame balance, it is so right. When I used to work at some low tier job, people blame their poorness and crap wages at management. No one ever blames themselves why they stuck with a crappy job,

I doubt having to pay for the game is one of the reasons why SC2 is any less popular. WoW was never free to play in Korea and at one point, it was one of the most popular games in Korea. WoW was one of the most popular games despite having to pay for monthly subscriptions when there are really a lot of successful free to play MMOs in Korea.
Khaldor also unintentionally admitted that the game is simply not good enough when he used the excuse that there are so many other games available to the korean players. Why would players simply settle for a significantly inferior game just because it's free to play? Khaldor's excuse for SC2 can probably be used for every non free to play game out here.

i wish i liked sc2 more :/

This did not deserve a ban in any way, not only was he respectful, he is also completely right. Khaldor DOES say only what has happened recently on the screen and he dwells on it forever.

Except he was banned for saying "this will be my last post on this account" which, be ause we are like Disney and make dreams come true, is what happened.
So don't post about bans.

gonna cancel out this shitpost by saying I like Khaldor's casting

I like Khaldor's casting too. And to be on topic, I think SC2 is just boring to watch compared to SC1, and with the fact that you have to pay for it compared to BW it makes sense that it's not as popular. Personally I don't even watch games unless I really care about the people playing them because the game itself is pretty stale in my opinion.

Other than the guy blatantly asking for it (come on now) there is validity to his criticism but there is a time and place for that and it isn't in this thread. You want to give Khaldor feedback on his casting? Find his casting feedback thread. It's not hard to find and use a little more tact if you want him to actually take note of your suggestion.
I keep seeing people posting in the LR threads about the crowds or lack there of. My message has always been the same. Stop caring about the crowd and worry about yourselves. If you enjoy it, great. Show it by continuing to support the game and players. Other than that I wish everyone would get over their stupid anxieties. Accept it for what it is instead of looking for acceptance from others. If you think the crowd is boring how about you go out to an event and show your passion for the game you like to watch. No excuses; don't try to reason with it. Enjoy it for what it is and you will be better off that way.

If Koreans didn't invest so much time and money into BW, we won't have the SC2 we see today. Show some respect. It's because the Korean public ventured into the risky e-sports business and made it sustainable, if not profitable, is why we have what we have today for virtually any televised e-sports event.
Yes, one may argue there are other organizations that would have attempted to popularize e-sports, and many have, but many of them failed and stopped running (IGN is the most recent). If it wasn't for KeSPA who really showed a working model that created investor confidence, the SC2 scene you like so much now would most likely not have existed today.
So what would losing the Korean public mean to SC2 you ask? Well for one, the smaller your fanbase, the less competitive gamers you get out of it. I can't imagine SC2 without 90% of the Koreans progamers.

It's because Korea is the only place where the e-sports has proven to be a success. This is important because there is a level of certainty in regards to the sustainability of e-sports, whether it's SC2 or some other form of game.

In terms of sustainability? There are several ways you can look at it. For instance, the shelf-life of most games is poor; likewise, once you peak as a pro gamer it's relatively short as well.

A bo3 sc2 series also only take 30 minute total on average, while any single lol match is 40 minute minimum + champion selections. There is also huge luck factor in LoL when it comes to ganks and comp overall
How is any of this luck? if anything, there is way less uncontrolable luck in LoL. in Blind pick, sure, but people play draft pick. As for ganks, well wards exist for a reason.. saying that ganks are luck is just like SC2 being luck based if you don't scout. As for creep farming ( or rather called, the laning phase) there is way more action there than most PvZ games which are 10 minutes of macro, 2 minutes of fights, and 5 minutes of " why isn't he GGing, he lost".
Watching 10 minutes of a game just to see a winner being decided in 2 minutes is NOT exciting.

As someone whose followed you back when you had hair, I was really hoping you'd tie in the largely forgotten Chinese scene into this discussion.
I know the Korean scene is the holy grail for SC, but in WC3, the Chinese scene helped sustain the game when the Euro scene started fading off. Why I'm fulling entrenched in P2P camp w/paid aesthetics is because cutting off a nation of billion people makes absolutely no sense. People may say there's no point in catering to those freeloaders, but the returns come in the form of that self-sustaining scene, tournament $$$, Chinese sponsors. When I look at the Chinese Dota 2 audience/government support, I just can't help but feel Blizzard dropped the ball on the old WC3 playerbase there.

In this video, Khaldor says that you -had- to buy a SC2 account in order to play and that this is the reason why SC2 wasn't as popular as Brood War.
That's bullshit and he's completely wrong.
You can play SC2 completely for free in PCbangs here and it was like that from the day SC2 was started. The only thing you pay for here in Korea is the ability to install it on your own personal computer and play it not-in-a-pcbang.
Source: Me. I've lived in Korea for years, I speak the language, and I was just as glued as everyone else when SC2 was announced on here back in '07.

Team games are more popular because to play a team game you have to cooperate with a team. That means more people exposed to the game PER match. Do you want to play a team game with randoms? No, you want to play with your friends. So you summon your friends, and you play together. If you do that with sc2, you have to deal with the harshness that comes from one player consistently beating another. While friendships do form with that dynamic, they are much rarer than, "LETS GET TOGETHER AND DO MINDLESS GRINDING"

In other rts games like red alert 2, being good in 2v2 won you just as much respect as being good in 1v1. In sc2, it's all about 1v1s.
