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.

If you spend the entire game struggling with the limitations of the UI or making your choices based on what the UI will won't let you do fast enough, then you have a shitty UI design. I think it's absolutely idiotic to call this an important part of the game.
I see this argument as a bunch of "pro" players loving one game to death (Starcraft) so much so that they invent all sorts of excuses for the parts of the game that aren't perfect. Starcraft was great for its time but a lot of advances have been made by many companies since then. But the hardcore Starcraft fans hold on to their game and say that all of those advances are bad for gameplay with convoluted excuses like this MBS one. As a game designer it makes me quite sad. :(
