We've finally got a professionally employed English caster. GOMTV is currently running the GOMTV Star Invitational, with sixteen of the best or most influential Starcraft players. On top of that, they are broadcasting a separate ENGLISH stream online with the hopes of capitalizing on the foreign market. Tasteless (the commentator who has done Blizzcon, WWI, and WCG) will be doing solo commentary for the entire tournament, and is in the talks to begin commentating on further tournaments.
I'm posting this hear because GOM is gauging their future actions based on the response and traffic that this project generates from foreign sources. I know some people enjoy casually watching Starcraft, and this is fairly easy way to watch professional games with english commentary.

They've got a problem: if they try too hard to replicate the balance and strategy of SC1 they're just going to end up releasing SC1 with better graphics and a few new troops. How are they going to compete on the global market to more casual wargamers if their game doesn't reflect some of the "improvements" that other modern RTS games now support, like MBS and such?
It's a real problem and I truly don't think SC2 will replace SC1 in any meaningful way unless people mod their own "competition" ruleset, much like the Quake community did with Q3.
