GOM director Oh Juyang and Mr Chae have joined AfreecaTV. While there is no announcement yet what this means exactly for Afreeca, this could be connected to rumors of Afreeca's intention to try and expand to the international market. It's currently unknown what roles they will play for the company, or what game they will focus on.
GOM have yet to announce a replacement director.

Will Afreeca now broadcast BW events?
|
Could we get a competitor for twitch now?

now it makes sense why they are holding it there.

That's the real question.

I assume it will mean Afreeca will do a lot more content creation internally (besides the SBENU Ladies League).
|
will this somehow lead to gsl going past low resolution?
|
In my opinion, Afreeca hired them more to prepare Heroes of The Strom leagues, or to launch some SC2 events, rather than BW. BW leagues are already being produced by Hungry App and Sonic any ways already.

Oh Juyang perhaps. But Mr Chae is quite popular.

GOMTV Classic return... we can only hope.
|
Why would that means a replacement for director?

Sick ! I have been streaming on Afreeca TV now for almost a week and loving it, I hope TL adds support for Afreeca.TV streamers soon 
EDIT : Please support Afreeca.TV TL T_T

I saw this posted and thought of making a thread but waited to see how someone else would word it. I thought the same as it was worded here. I think this has some great implications for the future, and hopefully might even lead to some really cool things like featured afreeca players coming into some GOM studio stuff.
aka: pls bisu go to some studio somewhere instead of go to the military i need u in my life ;;

Ok.....Panic attack. Who is going to replace Chae's spot, both as director of GOMTV and commentator of the GSL? Hopefully he's found a replacement or something before he left, because if he didn't, this move is highly irresponsible, simply leaving his job to join Afreeca for better payment or whatever reason he has for going.

I think we should wait to see what Mr Chae has to say!
|
Damn that's pretty huge. Mr. Chae talk to us what's going on!
|
Whoa jeeze, yeah I really want to hear more about what's happening here, who's going to take over at GOM? It's pretty awesome for Afreeca though!
|
I remember Mr. Chae being silly in the GOM studio back in the day and how awesome he was during MLG. Really felt like when they moved into the new gangnam studio that we were heading towards a great period in GomTV's time, but things have just seemingly gotten worse from a spectator perspective. It's a shame he's gone.
Hope Afreeca offered tons of cash though.
|
so this pretty much means GOM is dead? time to jump ship, tastosis!

I guess they can't go lower than 240p, even when the Game is played at 800x600

I think we haven't seen Mr.Chae casting for a really long while.

Mr. Chae trying to expand The Pixel Plague to Afreeca streams, so dirty.
|
For a moment I thought this meant GOM TV was switching to Afreeca for streaming.
|
I wonder if it's connected with Kenzi leaving DES as well. Maybe some big set up from Afreeca TV to create e-sport content.
http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1skmrdr He will be doing something different than being a reporter.

Not connected. He'll still work as an eSports reporter

Chae tweeted a few days ago he was leaving and I wondered what he would be doing next

Mr. Chae's comment on PGR 21's post on this topic http://www.pgr21.com/pb/pb.php?id=gamenews&no=9349:
채정원 안녕하세요. 채정원입니다. 기사가 떠서 많은 분들이 GSL에 대해 걱정하시는 것 같아 글 남깁니다. GOMEXP 에는 저 말고도 GSL을 위해 지금도 애쓰고 노력하시는 분들이 많고 앞으로도 GSL을 무리없이 진행할 수 있는 역량이 충분합니다. 현재 스타크래프트 2가 흥행의 반등 조짐도 있는데다, 시청수치도 나아지고 있으니 너무들 걱정하지 않으셔도 됩니다. GSL의 시작과 끝까지 함께하고 싶었지만 사정상 그러지 못하게 되어 저도 기분이 싱숭생숭합니다. 너무 무리한 추측이나 억측은 없었으면 좋겠어요 앞으로도 GOMEXP 의 무궁한 발전을 진심으로 기원하며 잘 해낼거라 믿습니다. 여러분들도 많이 응원해주세요! 감사합니다.
Hi, everyone, this is Chae. I'm leaving this comment for that many people are worried about GSL. There are still many other staffs working hard for GSL on GOM EXP, and they can afford to carry on. Currently, SC2 looks rebounding, and viewership is getting better also, so you don't really need to worry too much. I wished to be with GSL until the end of it, but I am now leaving, so it feels a bit weird for me too. I wish there be no excessive assumptions or rumors. I sincerely wish GOM EXP to develop without limits, and believe they will do OK. You guys support them too, please! Thank you.

Mr. Chae hasn't commentated for the GSL in like 2-3 years - Gisado and Daezang do a fine job anyway.

Not sure what global Afreeca is, but if it's better than the Afreeca streams we have on TL, I'll be happy. I tried to watch SSL recently and it's was unwatchable, way too choppy and it kept buffering every 2-3 seconds, it was a pain.

Afreeca were streaming Chelsea game the other week, god that was hilarious. 2 crazy Koreans commentating Chelsea haha :3
Should be a good move this, im assuming they are going over to help push Afreeca tv out there which imo is already a good service.
|
Interesting move. It would be nice to see Afreeca growing outside of Korea and Asia.
|
Its rumoured Gom wants to be bought by Afreeca
|
People, please keep in mind i'm sure Afreeca / Afreeca TV are in essence the same, but Afreeca.TV is global afreeca, for everyone outside of Korea, I think that this is important to keep in mind.

I just wondered what it would be like if Tastosis casted some brood war.

It became quite clear how much he still loves BW when he started talking about how much he loved BW TvT during the Valentine's GSL cast. It's hard to compare passion levels and I feel he still has some left for SC2, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if BW will always be where his heart is truly at.
OT: Looking forward to what will come of this. I was happy to read the number of viewers was climbing again, it really does feel like the Korean leagues (and SC2 in general) are here to stay for some time now.

Well... couple of friends of mine that live in Korea in fact told me that SC 2 is getting more popular and people are talking a lot more about GSL, Proleague and NSSL
Besides i really feel that both brood war and SC 2 are, atm helping each other in Korea, and that is really nice to see ~~

that's crazy to hear Mr. Chae leaving. His statement on it is somewhat comforting, but still idk. It's hard to imagine a GomTV without Mr. Chae. The preshow with him and the other Korean caster (I forgot the name now but he was really good with the analysis) back in 2011-2012 had some of the funniest moments.
|
I find it ironic how some posts are like "omg don't die gsl" and some others "omg don't want to pay for gsl." I think the current set up is fine. I can't afford a subscription, but as a die hard fan I can still watch. I respect gom for having a low quality option and I hope to fuck they are prosperous in the future.

The Korean caster he was with was Engine, and you're right, that pre-show was hilarious. I loved when they intercepted players walking by and asked them dumb questions. Mr. Chae is awesome.

March 1 will be JUST the finals (last two players), right? Not the semis and the the finals?

How long does a BW match usually last for?
|
Here's to hoping that this competition will result in a better alternative than twitch. And if not, hopefully it'll at least force their SC2 twitch stream to be more than just 'low' quality.
