Totally Agree with TS.
Also super unhappy with English cast too. Tod casting SC2? He is not into starcraft for years already. This Maynard guy appeared at the beginning of the year and showed himself quite good, however now he looked like, he didnt spent much time following the scene. Casters couldnt oversee builds and were missjudging plays, like TY's proxies for example: it's normal meta for Terrans to proxy now, like Maru does almost every game. And we heard something like casters disappointed by player and strategies. InControl is funny, but mostly speaking not about the game, Kaelaris is from hots basically. Strange line-up of casters to my mind. Also lack of Korean cast is a hit to Korean scene. What would be with Starcraft without Korea?

Is Blizzard purposely trying to bury SC by alienating their biggest player & fan-base??

For the first time in years we have a bit of a resurgency, with foreigners getting as close as they've ever been to Korean-level players and renewed interest in competitive SC2, and THIS is what they're doing??

What-the-actual-fuck, Blizzard?!?

I mean, I know that everybody is irritated about the situation, but I don't see what it has to do with China specifically.

By the way, I find it telling that people tell Koreans to "just watch the English stream, whats the big deal?" and at the same time say that it's fine that the English commentarys have a massive foreigner bias in their analysis/commentary "because it's the english/foreigner stream".

I will never understand the contempt some people in the community have for Koreans. I think that everyone who actually got decent at any esport looked up to many Koreans, and so would be incapable of such feelings. My guess is that this is a very telling analysis.

I guess ppl like Nathanias saying "F**k Korea" basically every 2 streams doesn't help


What? I don't have anything against Koreans. The only community in StarCraft that I dump on is BW Elitists because they deserve it. Anyone could have easily just been fans of both games and recognized a united scene is better than a divided one. Thanks for playing though!

Given the structure of WCS with half of it being Korean tournaments, having no Korean casters live at the global finals seems like a really weird/bad decision. Seems pretty disrespectful tbh.

It could be a flag typo, but in HuK's first win, a Korean named Silver is listed as playing. Also, I meant in SC2 liquipedia and not BW.

Hopefully this doesn't get derailed into a debate about unconscious racism.

This whole not having Korean commentators is a real issue and anyone who is a true fan of the game should be mortified. The amount of english talent for this event is unprecedented and complete overkill. As much as I like listening to the "a foreigner could win" circle jerk, I think its evident that the quantity of same language commentators doesn't increase the quality of the stream.

Yeah his race is wrong too, if you scroll down you can see it's fixed in the Losers Bracket.

So there is something like 10 English casters, half of which don't even follow SC2 anymore, whilst Korea which has half the players gets no real support?

I don't really understand the reason behind this except due to utter incompetence. Only thing I can think of is that it turns out that NA + EU are buying all the warchests and korea buy none, so they are trying to kill the korean scene, so hopefully more EU and NA buys more warchests as a side effect.
