Disappointed that the Korean audience isn't getting the love that foreign fans do for Afreeca/GSL tournaments. Hesitant to say much more because there's not a whole lot more of information on the subject.

Gross situation.
I blame the blizz CEO.
It’s the Brak show now.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

Yeah I was wondering the same when I saw how many casters we have. Not just because has no casters but because I thinkt its ridiculous that we have 8 (7 without nathan) casters for 16 players.

It's a real shame that the community that built the foundations of SC2 isn't given a better Blizzcon. I don't understand wht, has anyone from Blizzard commented on this? Especially when the English cast gets eight casters. I don't mind some variety, but four would be fine. Casters that don't do SC2 outside of Blizzcon could've been replaced by casters that normally do.

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!

How about you dont flame people who like BW but not SC2? Is that unreasonable? Flash is the greatest RTS player of all time and its logically impossible for a SC2 player to steal that throne.

Also it would be nice if one caster said something about this in support of Korea. Instead all we have had is Incontrol saying that Korea doesnt deserve commentary (on reddit). I hope Artosis at least says something, he's the only one I trust.
Banned for saying "zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history" despite the fact that this forum is full of such posts about Terrans. Foreigner Elitists in control!

Last I checked, Flash is an Adobe macromedia player, not an RTS player.

you can't use "logically" in place of "in my opinion," m8

gonna have to handing out some warnings if you keep presenting what are very clearly subjective opinions as fact.

We were overwhelmed by the passion from the Korean StarCraft community for the #WCS Global Finals, and have worked alongside LuciaTV to improve the broadcast.

Now to be held in VSL studio w/ GoliathMonster, Ragnarok, MC & Leenock; all community casters helping SC2 grow in Korea

Looks like a step in the right direction. Still would have been nice if they could have worked something out with the professional Korean casting team, but it's too late for that now.

Yeah, when I tuned in on the english stream, the one thing i was thinking to myself... well, they sure had a lot of casters! Didn't realise that it was at the expense of korean ones...

you guys are quite silly to say they are funding foreign commentary over korean because of warchest support.
it takes a special type of dense for that to be the only reason.

I'm a bit confused by this. Does that mean the Afreeca team can't participate because of lack of funding or because they can't be part of a Twitch-exclusive event?

As far as I understand: Blizzard made a twitch-exclusive deal for Blizz-SC2 events years ago. It also mismanaged to fund a korean cast but afreeca would've jumped in funding their casters by themselves. But afreeca would obviously only do this if they could stream it via their own streaming network afreeca.tv. But they can't because of the twitch-exclusiveness of Blizzcon.
I don't blame Blizzard for the twitch-exclusiveness. Such a situation hardly could've been foreseen back then, when afreeca was a minor player. But not planning for a public korean cast and then being unable to react quickly and fly two casters in ... that's sad.
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

It's not perfect, but they were never gonna fly in the casters last minute or fix the twitch vs afreeca thing on the spot.

That they are at least acknowledging it and improved something is a start.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
