Can anyone communicate to Khaldor that this is not the case? Maybe he would switch to English.
Eh, I think that's kind of unfair to the German viewers or those tuning in for the German casting. It's unfortunate there's no English, but ultimately that's FXO's fault.
Most Germans that are the age that play SC2 speak or at least understand English. When I was Germany every teen/young adult I met could speak English. It's not like Korea or something where nobody studies English.
Actually I thought almost everyone learns English in Korea xD
Im under that belief too and I'm pretty sure its correct.
Yeah I just looked it up and it says that Koreans learn english from 3rd grade to 12th. D:
I've heard that if you have a college degree you can go to Korea and teach English without knowing Korean. I think they're quality of English education (or emphasis on learning English) is not quite as high as Germany, especially when you see that the Koreans that come to international tournies have to have translators. MC is the only Korean SC2 pro I've seen speak more than one or two words of English and that can probably be attributed to living with English speaking Liquid members.
There are plenty of Korean pros who have spoken English on camera, many of them better than MC. It is also ignorant to say Germany's English education is "higher" than Korea considering learning English as a Korean is literally three times as hard as learning English is a German.

MC also has an english tutor, at least he did. He tweeted about it before.

I'm not arguing that learning English for a Korean is not difficult. In fact, that is a reason why their level of education is lower than in Germany. They have to teach the basics for 3 times as long while in Germany in that same amount of time they have progressed to more advanced English since learning the basics is easier for them. More advanced = "higher," at least in the context I was using it.
