Excellent write-up! The oGsMC co-cast was one of the many awesome highlights of the event. Overall, excellent job and keep up the good work!

Very nice write up TB. Glad to hear it was a good event for you. Hopefully your voice can hold up for the IPL casting later this week. =) I look forward to those games.

The few times I tuned into your stream TB (spent most of the time watching the main stage) your lack of knowledge in some situations didn't bother me, you're an exceptionally entertaining caster to listen to. Not to mention your English accent is totally awesome (I totally imagine you casting with a tophat & monocle). The casting with TLO and MC was excellent and I thoroughly look forward to hearing/seeing you progress as a caster in eSports, the very few minor downfalls of your casting are things that will improve with your ability to play the game and you've already identified what those were.

Much respect for all you casters, 30 hours of casting would be exhausting, 30 hours of watching for me was exhausting. I'm glad you had an enjoyable experience.

Thanks, TB, was a great event and your casting is so enjoyable. Pairing with players like TLO and MC was really a highlight of the event! Many, many thanks!
I learned so much from my mistakes, I'll just make some more...

I was less than amused by the overlay over an entire game fiasco, but I guess we all make mistakes. You admit the mistake and apologise, so that's all good.

The few matches I watched of yours I can only come up with the usual culprits for casting critique. I'd really like it if you could get enough experience to be able to at least call what you are seeing in context. I'm sure that means you'd have to watch and play a lot more SC2, which I'm not sure your schedule would allow. I'd maybe suggest taking tips from djWHEAT? He has a full time job (which isn't SC2), but seems to get more into the game than you do, and he is a total baller. I'm not asking for analysis, or mythic build-calling ala MC, just some filler material as to why army movement makes sense or other such little things which at the moment you seem to stumble over what to say - and sometimes say something silly which interrupts the viewing experience.

This is all my subjective personal opinion, but I'm trying to put forward critique in a way which is useful to you instead of the hate you sometimes get.

As for the haters, as I'm sure Tyler and anyone else will tell you, the worst thing you can do is feed them yourself by replying. I'd just ignore the crap out of it all, any time you want to reply why don't you find a nice comment from a fan and reply to that instead. Life is too short to argue with trolls over the internet. If they can't formulate criticism into something like I have tried with this post, then I don't really think anything is going to be gained by reacting to it. Its probably just trolling to get a reaction, people love the 60 seconds of fame you give them by responding publicly.

This is a really nice blog, I really want to go to a large event and props to you TB, and all the casters for making Dreamhack such a great event.
I feel bit weird about all of it, as we the community, are watching ourselves grow into something beautiful.

nice write up TB, thanks for that. Especially the point about MC, I was absolutely blown away when I learned that MC came to you, asking about co-casting with you, as I realised how much BALLS it has to take to do that. Also you were an excellent host to him.

And of course, fantastic job overall, you delivered more than I anticipated to receive

Fantastic work from the whole team.

TB sounds like you really living the dream by actually getting paid to go to such gigantic events and just see how it unfolds first hand, and to also be able to cast with people like TLO and MC :O

You did great, the only thing I can fault is you leaving the blackscreen on for the whole of the hasu - july game but it was a laugh when you actually found out and TLO kept on saying that it wasnt your fault that it happened. :D

Really looking forward to seeing more SC2 and TB casting at DH winter

You did really, really good (and have improved a lot, since i couldn't stand your "early" casts ).

Awesome job. Best luck for future events.
