hmm, First of all, i want to tell all the casters out there that i LOVE you guys and this thread is just a few thought that you guys might/might not want to take it into consideration b4 doing a cast.

1/ crap talk vs report: its clear that there are boring moment in a game, remember how BW tv always show pictures of audience occasionally? But i think there must be a limit to this. Watching Raelcun and CatZ dual cast on Iccup TV or thegunrun on glhf.tv is sure fun! But im quite sure the audience cant learn anything from the games they casted compare to a game that BigT or Fallen casted. There should be a limit to distraction talk and the game. Remember that people watch your stream, most of the time, is beacuse of the games you have. Why? because they want to learn more about it, not because they want to know whether you had a good day or not.

2/ Chat: NEVER! EVAR! underestimate the audience. "The people" might be wrong lots of time but it doesnt mean they are wrong ALL the time. Learn from Orb, he insulted his viewers because they "were stupid" but there sure were lots of time if he only listened to the chat once, he could hv won the game. Remember glhf.tv HuK vs Dimaga when martjn keep claiming 1 base roaches play of dimaga wasnt all-in? He was alone vs the chat at that time but in the end, we were right. He might say sorry afterward but as i remember, 2 or 3 people was banned just by getting tired correcting him and called him stupid =.=.... those banned could be undone but how many of those people will come back to the stream?

3/ Hidden Gem: LOTS, LOTS of non-featured streams on TL.net has really good casters but they have not yet has a chance to shine. Please viewers, take care of your artists, show them your appreciation or one day, Gems will turn into cold stones... "Those shall not be undo"

4/ give more of you thought on (1/), try to compare any casters you currently like to those BW casters line on sc2gg.com, Diggity Rise Moletrap...: These people, i believe, should be your inspiration through out your caster career. GLHF folks
