This is always going to be the big issue with getting them out here... They say they really want to come, but I doubt they will do it for free.

That goes without saying lol.

Why pay for your own trip when you can be funded one

Don't know any event in Australia that can afford to pay to get them out here, though... :/

Benji · Thu, 21st-Jun-2012, 3:49 PM

From the numbers I've heard they charge more than we currently have as prizepools.

relatively cheap (atleast what was quoted a couple months ago) but still over the budget of any of the current aussie tournaments (with perhaps the exception of WCS Oceania?)

EDIT: as mentioned by benji our tournaments have smaller prize pools teehee

So when are you convincing the taiwan guys to have the finals of one of their big money regional events here and get tastosis as english casters?

As artosis said, he would love to get PAID to go to Australia. As for internet quality, just hook up with UTS or USYD. They have mind blowing internet when it's not throttled. Any university for that matter would have good enough net for streaming, it's just the latency issue. Face it, cost of flying people out to Aus would negate very many people from coming. Best case scenario is someone donates the airfairs for artosis and co. to come down inorder to cast an ACL or similar.

breadfan · Thu, 21st-Jun-2012, 4:11 PM

Even though it sounds pretty rad, I think that the more immediate focus needs to be on bringing quality international players to our shores. Then worry about the casters. And my focus, I mean the higher priority for the spending of the hypothetical money that is paying for this.

I know that casters are a huge deal, but in the end I don't think that even Tastosis casting will get all that many americans interested in staying up to watch two guys they've never heard of duke it out, even if they are big performers on the SEA stage. Basically, Tastosis will add exposure to a tournament, but inviting players over will add exposure to the SEA player base, which I would argue fuels exposure to the tournament in its own way, and sets up the long term better.

When i was in Korea he said something about casting a big event in Australia, (this was March 2011) And he said that it was super DL so he couldn't say anything about it.

I think it turned out to be the PPSL thing.
Or maybe They're coming for WCS Sydney? (doubt it)

I'd rather big name players come to Australia. Adds more to the event imo.

Haven't we already got some quality and entertaining casters?

Maynarde:

Thanks sweetheart <3

SLCN.Kez · Thu, 21st-Jun-2012, 9:41 PM

People might watch for an hour or so if they want to see their favorite player, they'll tune in all w/e to watch their favorite caster(s) imo

Quick Comments

	mGGDrGooSe:	I think people staying for the weekend will only happen if you get both. One or the other is just a novelty.
	fur:	This x1000. We have plenty of good players. A high profile casting combo is how you build OUR players up.

Someone create a kickstarter for this! Ive seen far more useless things on it like kids selling banana bread.. Could sell it as a Aussie tourney start up or something >.>.
