Bias works in baseball broadcasting because each commentator works for a separate location, i.e. WGN Radio in Chicago might broadcast the Cubs vs. Cardinals game, but the same game will be casted by a St. Louis station, with their own views and bias on the game. Obviously we can't have that sort of dual coverage in StarCraft, but each player treats his race like an entire team, and within that team there are players we root for and players we don't. It's a strange system, and if casters show their bias some people take offense because the broadcasters are rooting against their 'team'. I personally don't mind caster bias, as it breeds a friendly relationship between the broadcaster and the viewer, making the interaction more personal and interesting. Great work so far. Keep it up! | ||

Maybe NASL should employ 6 full-time casters, 2 Zerg, 2 Protoss and 2 Terrans (2 because of mirrors) that are casting whenever their race plays so we always have casters that are biased towards one side :p On Topic: I liked your casting, MrBitter. Would love to see you cast more often for NASL, though that would sadly reduce the time you would have to stream zerg lessons - which were the reason for big improvements in my play  | ||

I don't think anyone would mind if the NASL borrows you for another week some time :-). | ||

I really enjoyed watching you cast this weekend. I had no idea who you were initially, but I was pretty blown away from the get go. I think bias is good and I don't mind when casters make mistakes. Mixing up words or names is difficult to reduce to 0%, and analytical mistakes are not bad. As long as a caster says things that are valuable to me most of the time, I don't mind them making mistakes like who will win battles and things. It is far more annoying to listen to robotic commentators who are afraid to put their personal bias or assertions about things that haven't happened. To reiterate, I'd rather hear someone naturally say 'and this medivac should go down' before it lives than someone drag out 'and the medivac..... makes it out of there'. | ||

.I like a little bias in commentary, it just makes the cast feel more "alive". The only problem that arises from this, seems to be that the observing/casting is to centered on one of the players (at least it felt to me like that in some games). Would love to see you again on the show. I also don't get all the critic for Gretorp, he sometimes has problems to find the "right" words/it feels like he sometimes isn't capable of saying what he really wants to say (especially when NASL started fresh), but it's WAY better now and as you say, he defintivly shines when there is a Terran in the game. He's still no Artosis but he's pretty much up there with everyone else. People should just get over the rocky start and actually listen to him. | ||

apart from you being cool and all that stuff, i really agree with you on your call for feedback. a lot of people tune in and out of a stream, probably enjoying the commentary or maybe being bothered by some things, but don't make any attempt on reaching the casters in a constructive way, which is really sad some times. i don't care if i get trashed for my commentary as long as i can take something home from the criticism, that i can later work on. so to all the stream watchers: please be vocal, whether you enjoy the show or not at all. any criticism that's not mindless bashing helps incredibly much. and it's so easy to reach commentators directly, be it through TL pms, live stream threads or stream chat. gogogo, help us casters improve! <3 mrbitter, keep it up | ||
