To the Tournaments outside of Korea with/without Blizzard topic.
I think the biggest issue regarding that is Blizzards marketing itself. They done the Remaster etc, but all the events they sponsored were casual events. While this is not a negative aspect on its own, but it lets you question if Blizzard has any faith in SC:R as a eSport product on their own. When a company has no trust in its own product why should a third-party tourney organizer chip in? And its not like there are no opportunities. In Europe we have TakeTV and Dreamhack if you want to cooperate with established companies. We also don't need a huge prizepool with 6 digit figures.
Additionally there is Blizzard tournament fees and/or other conditions that are holding everyone back. Also I have a very mixed impression from Blizzard itself. It feels like some people are very passionate about Remaster and some people have nearly no connection to it and see it as another product in the portfolio.
/e: Show was great, really appreciate it guys.

I’m in America and dan is in Asia. Finding a time we can do this that is also good for the EU is nearly impossible. You’re placed in the extremely difficult spot of watching via vod or staying up late. God speed.

Don't worry about that as long as you keep uploading on Youtube we're completely fine

Just watched it. Very much enjoyed it, but for some reason I thought I wouldn't .

Great show, can't wait to see the next one.

Loved the show guys! Any chance Jaeyun could be a guest? I know they've been doing some team battles! I'm interested in how foreign brood war players are climbing without big tournaments.

Next episode will feature guests: Nony and feardragon

This show brings something back that I missed so much in SC2 with two of the best people in StarCraft. Amazing

I would like to see a discussion on the impact of things such as match-fixing and the prevalence of fake teams. Particularly on how this has affected the community by making us very jaded and distrusting of new teams popping up. I think this is one of the key problems limiting the growth of the game as we essentially expect new teams and ventures to turn out to be scams.

Also how this affects the players and if there's anything needed to be done for their protection. Because this can kill careers.

Of course I'll keep it up with the vod after work time. Keep up the awesomeness Geoff!!

Just learned about this show. Really enjoying ep 1 so far (halfway in).
If it's not in the second half of this episode, would love to hear about how SC:R could get more attention. I mean ASL 5 was even delayed, so that's concerning. But is there any hope for foreign SC:R, or anything else. The game is a tad frustrating to play but it's by a mile my favorite game [period] to watch. What can be done? Is it a player issue--in that there aren't enough people playing--or is it a Blizzard support issue?
edit: sweet, you addressed it.
If i had the money i would put my own 50k tournament on and invite all you guys.
edit 2: is there a world wherein we could get a crowdfunded SC:R tournament? I understand it'd be a band aid on a larger problem but maybe just to keep the steam going. I would put in $20 to watch the plott brothers, incontrol and artosis commentate a foreigner/Korean invitational over a weekend or something.
maybe including koreans would be hard unless they could fly themselves. i just want something to happen.

LOVED the show guys! Thank you so much for putting this on, you always have such great chemistry whenever you’re together.
Any chance you could talk about the past/current meta of Brood War? You’ve both been around so long (from when the game came out, through Boxer and through the bonjwas, etc.), I’d love to hear how the game has changed and evolved and what strategies people are trending towards these days.
