" @Jeffsekai: My guess is that their will be one video that is less than ten minuets long. Their is very little he can actually do over there that can't be done here in the states. All this for a match that is going to last about one to two hours. If he does interviews they will be horrible, the Korean pro teams have translators who give generic answers no matter what the pro says. If you've seen one Starcraft pro interview you've seen them all. If he wanted to cover a Starcraft tournament, why not go to MLG? You'd actually get some decent coverage there, and it has a lot more going on than just Starcraft. "
Pretty much. Why he didn't just goto MLG which would have been a lot of a shorter drive and with English speaking people and still have tons of top players is beyond me. "
Because the difference between MLG and a starleague Final in korea is like a High School Basketball game and the Superbowl. "
And the differance between MLG and GSL is English and one of the events Brad will actually get something worthwhile from. This is a personal trip Brad is hiding as a business trip for the site. "
You realize there is more content they can create by going to the GSL other than interviewing people, correct? I've attended an MLG event, there is almost nothing of interest there besides the actual games going on. There's plenty of interesting things they could shoot while on their trip. They've already mentioned they are going to Super Daniel Man's PC bang, who was the Coach of eSTRO and Hexatron, was the sole reason Idra/Nony/ret were able to go to Korea a few years ago, and commentated the SC1 version of the GSL. They could get a tour of some of the Pro-gaming houses in Korea, like the TL/oGs house, see what it's like behind the scenes at the GSL with artosis/tasteless, etc. None of which they could do at MLG, besides the interviews with english speakers, which, to be honest, is just about the least compelling thing you can possibly do when doing something related to esports.

If they do all that great amazing. They won't. "
Why are you so negative? Are you a glass is half empty kind of guy?
