Why is the german and russian stream listed on a different date than the english ones?
|
Because they're casting different games I suspect.
|
I wonder why America's line up is SOOOOO weak...
There are great players there and it seems most got ignored...
|
Because of caster availability.

The games have been played already; they're casted from replays, I think.

For the german/russian stream on "19-03-2011 01:00 KST", that means 7 hours from this post correct?
Also really disappointing there won't be an english cast for the first day .
But on the plus side, awesome having these games casted at all.

The games have already been played and will be cast from replays, so I imagine it's not too much of a problem to have the different language streams at different times. These times should work out well for the main audience in each region.

Are there going to be vods for this? 9am is early :|

Thumbs up for the initiative. Although sometimes FXOpen can sound too cocky through his posts, what he does and is trying to do for Esports cannot go unnoticed. And thanks!

Wow this really snuck up on me. There is just an overload of great Starcraft going on this weekend. So many tournaments, I'm having difficulty deciding which ones to choose to watch. Great problem to have!
|
Not feeling going back to Korea so soon perhaps.

Lol thanks
Guys, players had nothing to do with us. Most players in the US opted for MLG over GSL world champs as far as I can see. Also, Idra just moved back to the US I don't see why he would go insta-back to Korea.
FXOpen e-Sports is casting on behalf of GOM on the lovely services of own3d. The timing is purely because there is a time gap of events at that time. As most of you may know this weekend is pretty big for sc2.

omg did u guys recruit khaldor?
If yes then that is a HUGE pickup and a very very smart move. The german fanbase is a huge one and sometimes and the dude is LOVED by the english speaking community as well.
Would be wonderful if he cast the FXO GSL.
|
Yes, we love Khaldor too Hes awesome, same as the rest of the management team.
|
If Sam or anyone else from GOM is reading this, they should stick up a news post about the cast on the GOM website as well.
