As many may have predicted, ESL will continue to produce WCS AM in addition to WCS EU even after season 1 has finished. Season 2 and 3 will be produced and broadcasted from their new 7000 square foot studio in Los Angeles, USA.
Nathan “Nathanias” Fabrikant and Kevin “Rotterdam” van der Kooi will be the commentators for WCS AM and are the newest additions to the ESL family.
Rotterdam's statement:
“Two years ago I moved to California to cast StarCraft. It's been a bumpy road but I’ve started to feel more and more at home. I was definitely a little worried about everything but I'm very happy ESL reached out and asked me to continue casting WCS. Casting WCS has been fun from the get-go and I'm excited to put up a kick ass show with the new ESL America people. Thanks for keeping me on board and I can't wait to do the first shows from our new place!”
Nathanias' statement:
As not only a commentator but a player who has competed in many American competitions and open brackets, it's a great pleasure of mine to cover the best of the best from the American region and take part in crowning my region's champion. Many of these players are good friends of mine so I couldn't ask for a better tournament to work on! ESL has done a fantastic job with WCS Europe and we'll see nothing but equivalent excellence from the new American studio, I look forward to having a home port for WCS Production through them.”

As expected, I'll be waiting for the Seoul studio now.

A nickname for the casting duo is hard though

I propose we use a new naming method... Instead of using half of the first part of a name combined with the last half of the other name we use the last half and then the first half...

Heh... do you play Hearthstone? If so, that would be oddly topical... DAMN YOU NAT PAGLE

Nathaniassss! So well deserved!
Awesome to see ESL take the reigns of this, though. It will be tough operating on two different sides of the world, but it allows for a single company to get revenue and exposure and being able to build a brand, rather than have 3-4 different companies handling WCS and other events.
Maybe this means more IEMs in America (when coupled with Carmac's interview with onGamers)?
