So there are these wonderful resources us foreigners have - a single awesome, central forum and community for SC2.
Then there are official web pages for clans like ROOT, EG, compLexity (can't find ONE's page... kind of hard to google for), and of course TeamLiquid.
There's this very accessible VOD site where great casters take time to 'watch the replay for you' while you kick back a beer and not have to download a replay and have to pay attention just to enjoy a good match. There's also casters like Husky and HD who have easily accessible youtube channels.
Then there are dozens of showmatches and smaller tournaments that release VODs.
Not to mention that many pro gamers, if not all, have streams and interact with the community.
So my question... What is the Korean version of all this? Maybe my favorite players are Korean, maybe I want to keep up with oGs, maybe I just want to watch some pro gosu games really easy SC2casts.com style of some of 'the best players in the world' like MVP and Nestea and MC. Why isn't Husky doing Nestea's replays - or maybe, who is the Korean Husky on Youku? Why isn't there a stream of IMMVP? Does an official web page of Incredible Miracles or For Our Utopia even exist? What is the TL of SC2-KR? All I've seen is a few replays on sc2 replay sites, but I don't want to go through a replay and play just to watch, I want to just sit back and watch a good cast of some good Korean games where maybe it isn't as serious as the GSL, maybe it is and the GSL isn't enough for me, or maybe I want to see Koreans who aren't just GSL quality. Who is the Spanishiwa or Destiny or Combat-EX of Korea?
You could tell me to google, but I already did that.

The best example is http://playxp.com . Doubt you'll find it useful unless you speak Korean.

^ Is that a forum? Google doesn't translate it too well. I've heard of it, all I know is that they do something like liquibet (which in turn I was like 'what's liquibet' and I'm still not certain I just click the SC2 guy I think will win )

Why isn't Husky doing Nestea's replays? Because there are not that many Nestea replays flying around. Because he doesn't want his GSL opponents to analyze his training.
Why isn't there a stream of IMMVP? Because he simply doesn't stream. Because he doesn't want his GSL opponents to analyze his training.
Does an official web page of Incredible Miracles or For Our Utopia even exist? IM http://www.imteam.co.kr , I am not aware of any fOu-webpage except their Daum-Clan-Cafe

Who is the Spanishiwa or Destiny or Combat-EX of Korea? To a certain extent, players like DongRaeGu were. But no one is, actually. You have to realize that SC2 turned everything around. We are not looking over to the Koreans anymore, the Koreans are looking over to us. I.e. the Spanishiwa-style just got it's own thread on pgr21.com.
As for VODs, many things are happening over Korean-Only streaming services. GOM's Gisado is doing a lot, including KotHs, Clanwars, replay-casts, but you can't really watch these outside of Korea, sorry.

^ Awesome, thanks! How can I find the pages to all the clans? Ogs, startale, TSL?
I know they don't want their play analyzed, that's a big thing, but I'm sure they release a little bit? IM showmatch series?
Looks like they aren't too hot on the spanishiwa build, haha.

Liquipedia has links to clan sites on their pages.

Once there was MarpsPrime, who used to spread his style of using mass infester before its patch. Koreans called it "virus style" But new patch came out, everyone's using infester now, and he wend to army for now.

I find this to be really neat. It's just more evidance of the skills the foreigners have!
Also... Well done Spanishiwa!
