Hate Speech: The Hype Train Derails; Countless Injured...

CheLivz brings up a good point and I'd like to ask: why aren't the streams of established top players featured on 8WR front page? Enkindu streams regularly, for example, and the only reason I found out about his stream was someone mentioning it in an offhand comment in the 24/7 stream chat. Also, I believe Bibulus has begun streaming too? I go to the homepage of 8WR and see no inclination of this whatsoever. And what about those bi-weekly French SCV tournaments streamed by hazuSC? I knew nothing about that until I randomly glanced at suggested channels one week while in the 24/7 stream. It doesn't make much sense to me to only promote the 24/7 stream and majors - when they come along - in the stream directory.
 
I think you have some pretty good points.

- We need to organise a storytelling about SCV and then make sure people outside of the SC community hear about it.
An easy method would be to take interesting or outstanding SCV players and have them play a League. They would build up a fighting history, with defeats, come-backs and so on...
A few interviews here and there, and we get to know them better.
Personnally, I was a fan of the Federer-Nadal duel and was so happy when Federer won the French open, even though I don't know this guy.
See how Namco effectively used Kayane's image to promote SCV.
And Idra is StarcraftII's John McEnroe and, even though I don't know crap about SCII, I know and kind of like this guy.

I like this idea, plus many others out there. Someone should make a forum for the SCV (Good/Top/Well-Known) players, where we can pretty much answer the questions in Black_Dog's post.. That would be a start to get background info from the many SCV players.. (^_^)b
