Tod's French not as good as his English maybe. But seriously, French? The lingua franca of the day is English are they not aware? Is there a Latin stream?

The crowd had better deliver.

I'd watch the shit out of a Latin stream, just for shits and giggles.

Same. Have the Pope cast some Starcraft, maybe.

Being outraged at the French language is currently more important!

Like, never. ESL has a studio at Cologne, any event would be hosted in English. Kein deutsch for you. But hey, I actually understand French a bit. And je pense que French has a certain je ne sais quois.

Frenglish confirmed.

Seeing good but not great caster lineups makes me miss Tasteless and Artosis.

Lol French at main language, Blizz/ESL finally doing something right this WCS season :D Although having French commentators for the live audience but an English-speaking host feels kinda weird, we need Pomf to warm up the audience ffs
As for the English cast it's nice to see that they found a Zerg analyst finally d:

To each his own, I'd personally take any RotterdaM/Nathanias/Kaelaris/ToD combo over Tastosis.

Now that I think about it... what if when WCS season finals rotated over European countries the main language (like on site, hosting and hype etc was done in the original language). I can tell from having been at Dreamhack Valencia that a lot of potential viewers did not stop at the Starcraft stage even if it was by far the fanciest, with what seemed to be most expensive production, etc... Why? Because there was lol going on with main stage with casting and hosting in Spanish. We have no one in the Spanish scene that can even compare to English personalities, but wouldn't it be great to have a DH Valencia hosted by ROOT.Catz and theArgie, for example?

I think that the main difference is that afaik (correct me if I'm wrong ofc) there are no casters with the influence of Pomf&Thud or TakeTV in the Spanish scene. If O'Gaming didn't exist and there were no reliable, professional casting organization in France I'm not sure if we'd have French as the main language here.

You are totally right, partly because of the almost non-existent Spanish scene (I'm still amazed we got one more year of SC2 at Valencia), and partly because O'Gaming right now is a very big deal in e-sports. I mean a partnership with l'Equipe that is just insane!

Very surprising that ToD is not on the French cast team.

ToD confirmed in the biggest slump ever in the french language department.

nice line up

apart from that, interview, players introduction for sure will be in english (so the main stuff)

i don't get why having a french cast for the crowd is a big deal for some people ? just take a look at the setup of any korean events ....
