Hey everyone, Moletrap here, asking for your help.
TLDR: I have crazy access to Korea and I want to know what you want me to bring to you.
When I started casting Brood War VODs over 4 years ago, the reason I did it was because I had discovered something really awesome in the Korean progaming scene, something that I enjoyed but that I knew was hard for people to access. I wanted other people to be able to enjoy the thing that I enjoyed, so I shared what I knew.
Well... now I have the fantastic opportunity to bring the thing I love to even more people! And I have a very unique access to the Korean scene now that I live here... I still remember how much I appreciated over the years the people in Korea sharing the scene with those of us in other countries. So I want to do what I can to make use of my situation and bring what I can to interested "foreigners."
Which brings me to my main question... what do you want to see most? There are a lot of different things I could do, but I want to know what people want to see most, as well as get ideas for things that I haven't thought of yet.
Some ideas I've had are.. (already planning on the first 2 anyway):
* VODs of ladder replays (I have already done a couple games I got from Taeja, talking to coaches about getting more now) so you can just see more of your favorite players * Vlogs about Korea (such as visiting an open air market or tourist attractions) * interviews (I don't currently know anyone that can translate for me though (no, John is too busy and can't help me with side projects)) * show matches (probably between lesser known players unless someone sponsors) * Pro house tours? I feel like most houses have already been toured by Artosis or CSN already, but maybe something related to this? * Stuff..? I don't exactly want to become an export store, but if there are things that you can only get in Korea, I might be able to help. * ... what else? Something with other non-Koreans going to school here or teaching English? Something related to Korean food? Please give me ideas!
I want to be your source for access to the Korean scene... so please let me know what you want to see!
If you want you can also email me (moletrap.sc@gmail.com), PM me, or tweet @moletrap if you don't want to post here but still want to share your opinion. (Post also mirrored on reddit)
Thanks!!

i would love to see korean culture. ESPECIALLY food places. make a video everytime u try something new to eat. make some food porn so we can drool over and envy how great Korea is to visit. Also perhaps show something in Korea which is custom/common which is bizarre/never seen or thought of in west.
Perhaps you could also show the huge technological difference. We know Asia is 5+ years ahead. Perhaps show some insane new cell phone or tv or other technology we would clearly want to have

Artosis has done a pretty good job with the whole pro-house tour idea. I'd love to see more things about Korea. Tourist attractions or whatever you can think of. Bonus points if you can bring along a pro or two to show you around!
Edit: Oh God scratch my idea, listen to the first guy. I love Korean food.

wth is your problem. If you don't have any suggestions, you don't have to contribute. Don't bring hate into every thread thanks.

Edit: My apologies. Sometimes it's hard to ignore the trolls!
I would like to see the city and the culture more. I heard how great some of the cities in Korea are, but I've never really seen videos of them. Or something like the progamers when they aren't in their teamhouses. At clubs or something. I love what you're doing! Thanks Moletrap!

Maybe something about what foreigners do while they're training in Korea? We always hear about things like loneliness among foreigners in pro houses but we never get to see it for ourselves really. Maybe a day in the life of Idra/Huk
Also, food blogs!

Yeah i would love to see some food stuff and more cultural stuff.
I like the idea about the vlog of a korean mall or open airmarket

STARCRAFT FINALS between 2 fucking amazing players playing all 7 sets of a Bo7 whose total game time is over 5 hours in real time.
Please
(cmon am i the only one? xD)

Haha... I am surprised that people want to know more about food in Korea. Short answer: it's delicious!
Sorry, no I'm not going to do coverage of prostitution here (anma = brothel)

Oops sorry, this is what Moletrap can bring to us xD
In that case, casting some ladder games (if you see any progamers playing good ones! Don't want ya to waste too much of your precious time hunting for good games)
Or yes, cultural things probably things you like or find fun, funny, or just interesting xD
VODs of ANYTHING boxer related would be my #1 choice though I think. Where he sleeps, how he sleeps, his SCV micro, his bunker rush build orders, him at a public appearance, a picture of an advertisement with him on it, etc. ^^

Maybe a farfetched idea but I'd love to see some of the professional gamers out in there everyday life.
Maybe invite some of the foreigner pro's in Korea currently out for a lunch or to some tourist destination which you could Vlog, which would also take away the need for any translators.
Things like maybe the Slayers house playing a soccer game, going out to a bar for a drink with Huk, random matches of other games like Street Fighter or WoW of pro's against each other. Maybe even seeing what other games they enjoy playing in their off-time. Recently I watched the video of MVP rapping, things like this that make the pro's seem more human than gods-o-starcraft.
The food idea is also very good but could work out very well with taking maybe some pro's out with you ? Going to some of the pro's favorite place's to eat,drink or just relax outside of their team houses.
These are just things I can think of that stand out a bit from whats already been done which could possibly really draw the interest of fans.
