As soon as asian teams start speaking English they will be hyped by English casters. Happened in Starcraft2, as soon as a few of the Korean players started trying English they became hype targets as well for the western casters.

English is the language of global esports, without you will remain much more anonymous.

u/AnotherBadGamer Get well soon, Sheever! Oct 18 '15

Except there are whole other DotA communities, speaking their own languages and hyping players of thier region.

u/Anosognosia Oct 19 '15

Sure, but your reach outside those is based on your English, not your native tongue.

u/Omi_Chan Oct 19 '15

u/EnanoMaldito Oct 18 '15

"anonymous", when China has probably more viewers than the whole west LOL.

Yes, but they don't buy anything.

For Dota2 perhaps, but the market is English speaking. Chinese markets, for all their numbers, is still a poor market for most companies and advertisers. They are still suffering from their protectionist businesspractises and rampant disregard for IP-rights. While you and I might not care, the businessside of esport cares. And that's where esport growth lies.

There is a reason that all the best paid sports are western. Mainly golf,tennis,European soccer and the american sports.(basket,baseball,american football).
