This is something i shoutcasted a very long time ago. I was wondering what everyone thought. I am thinking of starting shoutcasting again but i want to know what you think about it and what kind of games people are interested in watching.

Sorry for the lol quality. I was doing this on my buddies computer and that was the best way i could get it to work at the time. There was also someone talking on the phone while that was going on sorry about that. But all those aside, i am looking for feedback ;-D.

Well, a couple of things

-It's a bit monotone
-You say weird things like "against 4wg you can never go too crazy", and your explanation of how someone should go about defeating a 4wg with +1attack was a bit shaky in my opinion.
-You don't seem to "look in the future" much (for one, you didn't mention the possibility that he'd go through the backdoor)
-Omg don't say zealot like that =P

Thank you for feedback =D

Ill try to sound more excited in the future. I had a few friends in the room who where already looking at me kinda funny so i was feeling a bit awkward. In my future streams that shouldn't be a factor and hopefully ill come off more excited.

I say a lot of the units horribly wrong, i know =(. Ill work on that.

For the other two i have a reasoning for that:

I dont like "predicting" what player's will do. Breaking down teh rocks is an option i could've mentioned, but responses especially like what the zerg "should" do is not something i like to say. Mainly because you never know what a player might do and how well it will work.

For example:
If zerg see's a stargate they can:
Make more queens, build a hydra den, build infestors, build a spire etc.

None of those are necessarily wrong reactions. So thats just my 2 cents and why i dont like to assume what player's will be doing.

Thank you for watching it and giving your honest feedback,i appreciate it.

Gretorp said something great about this - you aren't predicting what they're going to do in the future, you're saying what they CAN do. I agree with the other poster on most of his points, including this one.
