Hey guys. My question is about the production format differences in coverage of AlphaGo v. Lee Sedol, and of course, future large matchups and event coverage by the AGA. Personally, I vastly preferred the format of Redmond 9P and Chris Garlock on the Google Deepmind stream over the AGA stream; I found it much more engaging and the dynamic between Garlock and Redmond and their dialog felt much more inclusive and interactive (with that great play board), while the AGA stream Andrew and Myungwan 9P and other floating commentators had much less prepared content and that infamous lackluster KGS board.
My question is: How much was the AGA involved in the DeepMind stream, and, if we could agree the DeepMind stream was superior from a production/content standpoint, to what lengths would the AGA be willing to mimic the model? Is the quality discrepancy between streams simply cost related? Caster chemistry? Logistics? I ask because I'd love to support a proper, regular English casting/commentary and I feel like we had a real winner here.
