While browsing one of the smaller forums I visit, I came across a distant cry for help. A chain letter from none other than VoD Commentator Tasteless requesting an audience for tomorrow's English Commentated matches. The matches will be Group A of GOMTV's Star Invitational Tournament.
My interest was immediately peaked when I looked at the competitors, who are arguably the biggest names in Starcraft right now, with names like Jaedong, Nada, 'Boxer, Bisu, and Stork all being in groups of the tournament. The only thing bigger than the players participating is the fact that this will be in English which is a rarity among Starcraft announcers, and old Tasteless is the best.
More viewers means more hits on the counter for GOMTV which means their sponsors will be more willing to have more English announced games (as opposed to Korean, their current favorite language.) Enclosed is a link to Tasteless's preview and potential front runners, and a copy of the original message which inspired me.
It's 9:40 pm in korea and I'm going to bed soon. tomorrow i'll be casting group A of the GomTV Star Invitational. i ask you all to please tune in, even if your sleeping lol. the VODs will also be stored on GomTVs data bank so if you, for any reason, can't tune in live you can still see the recordings later on. I am really hoping we can get as many hits for this as humanly possible. GomTV has invested more into this project than you know, so please show them how much we care.

The first game starts at 6:00 pm, i'll be there two hours in advance. I would also appreciate it if no one rips the vods off the site to put on youtube. this would reduce the number of hits GomTV gets.
Also, if you want to discuss the games while they're going on please use the GomTV forum rather than the Tl.net forum. i want the sponsors to see people discussing the games on their site rather than this one. you can find the forum here:

Please post this on every forum and news site you can think of. everyone needs to be reminded this is about to start. go spread the news! if this works we may see A LOT more English casts of SC in the future.
Thanks <3
