This would be relevant to this particular Liquid site if he was joining to cast SC2, but I find that rather unlikely.

He is very likely the replacement of Redeye so him hosting IEM and WCS is a realistic possibility.
EDIT: look at the ESL announcement, Chobra will be working in their America offices, and there is no offline ESL events other than WCS Premier League and the upcoming WCS Season 2 finals in Toronto at the moment.

Yup, if he's working in the U.S. then, outside of IEM, he's likely to be pretty much doing SC2 and Hearthstone exclusively.

And the ESL Legendary Series finals - that is one game he was covering for OGN.

It's hard to imagine ESL grabbing him solely for Hearthstone tho.

Chobra is the only host that I thought was comparable to Redeye. So this is pretty good for ESL
|
Very nice! I actually wondered just days ago what happened to the guy after all the stuff he did in 2013. It will be hard to fill Redeye's boots for sure so best of luck to him.
I'm not trying to start a flamewar or anything, but I also heard somebody say that LoL is currently losing popularity in Korea and that SC2 would be picking up again. Can somebody comment on this?
|
Awwww yiss, Chobro is back. One of the best translators out there and I have no doubt in my mind that his time hosting at OGN has made him into someone who could rival Redeye quite easily.

Chooobra!
Yes! It's been so long since we've seen him doing things in english for SC2. Happy to see him likely doing SC2 stuff!

Yet, ESL is going to announce IEM Season X soon.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

This is going to be huge for ESL.

Chobra is probably the only person who equally may replace Redeye.
Welcome!
|
I can't believe that actually happened. I loved his work during whichever season final it was and am glad he gets to continue to do work in the scene
|
omg this is massive... chobra is an extremely solid interviewer / host
|
Awesome news! He is definitely the best Korean translator and one the best hosts, if he takes over for Redeye, that would be amazing.
