Don't really know what to say. Awesome observer, but if he wants to go pro, i wish him best of luck. I just hope there is a substitute even close to his skills. | ||

I choose to think this is his plan to complete his perfection of map awareness, develop a set of codes for communicating things about a game with screen jiggles, movements, unit selection patterns, and cursor movements and then pioneer the silent analytical cast so that the casters can go on with all the banter in the world and it is all still covered. | ||

His answer was that he knows every build and variation so he knows what to possibly look for when he observes. And seeing him play against bomber he didnt do that bad, Just hope he doesnt start getting nerve problems playing. Will miss his sick observing (Saved IPL4 for alot of us XD) and wish him luck in his goal to play in GSL and such More Startale players the better | ||

The show is called Legend of the Swarm it's part of a revamped line up on tuesdays. First is GNN with Angela, next is a section interviewing people first announced is someone from Startale (Head Coach I think?) then finishing up with Legend's new show. It's sort of why GNN was an hour early this week. This was all on the between match screens. | ||

Letting them piggyback on the korean stream again is quite the step backwards. | ||

A major reason why there's a separate observer is because it allows the broadcast of the English client along with full blood effects. The Korean obs works with the Korean client with censored graphics. You can see this when the ENG obs drops from games time to time. | ||

Okay, whatever. Either way the new format show is now on the schedule. http://www.gomtv.net/live/index.gom?conid=70877&set=1 Here is the show description. What is GNN Be up to date on everything that´s happening in the Korean and worldwide StarCraft II scene with GNN! In the first part of the show, Angella Kim will fill you in on the latest e-sports news from the past week and preview the upcoming GSL matches for you. Our coverage includes player interviews, match recaps and highlights as well as all results from the past week. Missed a few matches? GNN will bring you up to speed! In the second part of the show, our PD will have an honest and open interview with a Korean e-sports personality and tackle current issues and topics of interest. Due to the language barrier, Korean coaches and players rarely have the opportunity to speak their minds. GNN will provide a platform that will allow them to share their insights with the global e-sports community! And finally, in part 3 of the show we will follow our legendary global observer and ex-progamer ST_Legend trying to make a comeback to StarCraft II with Heart of the Swarm. Legend is known for his observing skills, but people tend to overlook the fact that he also is a very formidable player and ex-progamer. Get a closer look at Heart of the Swarm and learn more about everyone´s favorite observer StarTale_Legend! There is a also a new GNN supporters programme to get VIP treatment at the GOM Studios and Finals. | ||
