On a lighter note, my chair should NOT have wheels, as I managed to catapult myself away from my computer after seeing Sen kill approximately 40 zerglings at once with a perfectly placed Baneling strike. The mouse fell off the desk, the camera spun off in a random direction and I was left looking very very silly.


Lol'd in RL. Great write-up TB
SC:BW has a higher skill ceiling than SC2? SC 64 is where it's at brah.

Great writeup!

I think it's a good choice of you to focus on the fans instead of the haters, you have so many fans who love what you do, and there's a smaller negative minority who are very vocal.

Nice little write-up yo. I'm so sad I didn't get to go to DH (due to work), it seems like it was such an awesome event in every single way.

Sweden hwaiting.

I had a feeling your WoW raid cast tone was a tad on the bored side... was that because of your recent history of disagreement with Blizz on WoW or was it just sheer exhaustion from the SC2 tournament casts?

Thanks TB! Really enjoyed both your Shoutcasting. The duo with TLO and MC were informative and entertaining at the same time. You did a great job.

As a side note though, I would have to agree with Chill on the PvP coinflip issue. While I understand that's how many people feel, at the same time I feel PvP is a very skill dependant match-up that depends a lot on mind games and micro in order to come out on top. I think there's potential for the caster to try and hype a game as everything standing on a razor's edge; that might just be me though.

Nevertheless, I was very entertained by your casts which means the primary purpose of your casting was achieved. I'd love to visit Dreamhack some time in the future and get an autograph! Keep up the good work! ^^

I actually don't remember saying that PvP was "a giant coinflip". That doesn't sound like something I'd say at all I more often than not say exactly what you suggested, that PvP is "razors edge", often short, brutal and methodical. I might have said it, I don't remember it though.

If MC even approached me id get nerdchills all over me for not being good enough to be noticed by him lol! (no homo)

But yeah I loved your casting, everything was wonderful and i tried not to lose a minute of it (had to eat sometimes lol) there was just that Audio problem, which was rather annoying and sometimes made me go watch Day9 for being more easy on the ear, but id go back to your awesome voice anyway ahah!

Please keep doing what you do TB! Hoping to hear you in Dreamhack 2011 Winter (i guess ill be hearing you in a daily basis with videos and streams, but still...)

Great, now i have to go to Drwamhack winter.
Followed your stream these 3 days as much as i could and it was just awesome!
Hearing about this meeting with the fans that you, Day9 and Apollo did makes me so jealous!

Got introduced to SC2 through your daily ladder stream, have been following some events like the TSL3 and such but after reading this I've realised that i need to go to dreamhack once more just to experience this.

Thanks alot for these 3 days TB and keep up the good work! Haters gonna hate but the haters are still way outnumbered by the fans that you got!

Master TB, watching your streams was a pure pleasure. I've "wasted" the whole weekend watching Dreamhack even though I was to learn for my exams... But it's okay I've handled it Anyway I just love your streams, watching almost every single one of your Daily Stream, and I can only regret now that i couldn't be there in Sweden... Maybe next year!

Keep up the excellent work Sir, because in my opinion you are the best SC2 caster around at the moment (despite missing a drop or two from time to time - your enthusiasm FTW )

Best regards!

On the topic of the removal of UI during large battles: I prefer very much that observers do NOT use this feature as it removes the critically important minimap from the screen. This makes it impossible for both the observer and the audience to notice if anything is happening elsewhere (which is almost always the case at the highest level). Hopefully Blizzard will allow a mini-map-only UI option, but until then I think it's better to keep the full UI up.

Enjoyed your stream this weekend

I loved your casts TB, you are such a welcome addition to the SC2 community.

Just one thing! When you are describing when you are watching the finals, you say you
won't spoil, but a sentence or two later you actually spoil the results!

Stay classy.

+ Show Spoiler +
I was glad not to be casting the finals, because if I had I would have missed out on my first experience of spectating SC2 in a live environment and the Dreamarena was the ultimate place to do it. I felt that familiar pit in my stomach as HuK fell behind. The last time I felt that way was an England World cup game many years ago when we lost on penalties. I felt the pure adrenaline of the tense moments where HuK either succeeded or failed by mere nanoseconds and the nail-biting finale which I won't spoil for any of you if you haven't watched it. The crowd roared, 1,200 screaming eSports fans as loud and proud as any sports event and there was not a man in the audience who didn't roar and applaud with them. HuK taking that well deserved win was a moment of elation for him his team and the fans. As the members of Teamliquid picked him up and threw him into the air over and over again, the crowd applauded and began chanting "HuK! HuK! HuK!". The thought running through my mind at that moment was "and where are the doubters now aye?".

Thoughts the casting of major events.
I think casters should take a lesson from sportscasts.
If you have ever been in a Broadcast booth you will see that there is one central display that shows the broadcast feed then each of the commentators will have their own screen that they can switch between camera feeds.

This same system can be applied to casting. There could be one desktop with the express purpose to display the cast and do any recording. The mouse can be made in easy reach of both casters or a "Stream Director" can be added to the group. Then the 2 casters can use their own laptops for all the information overlays they want and to inspect any activity not currently being displayed on the Stream.
If women don't find you handsome they should at least find you handy.
