I totaly called it the first week IPL started. The gloss has come off and people now realize what they are actualy seeing.

I hated them since they first cast together on HD's channel. They are seriously the worst casting pair in SC2 right now. I still don't understand how people can listen to it.

Edit: For emphasis...

I would rather have bamboo shoots shoved under my fingernails than listen to either of these two people cast a starcraft 2 match.

I think a lot of it is that he isn't a very high level player. So while people like him initially, they eventually surpass his knowledge then think he's a bad caster

HD is wrong about EVERYTHING and painuser always has to correct him. HD needs to not talk out of his ass so much and they would be a much better duo.

Same here, i really didn't feel stupidity radiating from their voices. Maybe it's just that while i was enjoying the jedi mind trick banter other people were being annoyed.

I like them. I think there are alot of fair criticisms for HD, mostly based around his accuracy. Which is weird, he really is a competent player and knowledgeable about the game (Masters Zerg, going to MLG as a player). But he does say some bonehead stuff.

But even considering all that, I still like him. I am generally entertained by him, and I think he has alot of potential to get better. HD is where I was first exposed to Starcraft VOD's and commentary when I first picked up SC2... which was really the beginning of my trip down the rabbit hole of the SC2 scene. I think of him fondly for that.

And sure Painuser hasn't had any success as a pro, but he is knowledgable and I think he strikes a good balance with HD. I agree with the OP.

HD seems to be there for random comedy and PainUser likes to call everything a timing attack

Aww, I love these guys. Am I the only one who doesn't really like CatsPajamas? Probably...

like Painuser. not a fan of HD.

For the skill that painuser has I feel like he doesn't give as much insight into the game as he should and you can't rely on HD for that.

HD and PainUser are such good pals since the Beta that I love seeing them cast together.

I'm surprised to see so much dislike for them both. HD is who caused me to gain interest in the game, and I was able to watch HD even before I played Starcraft. Sometimes they tell jokes or lead on with stories which can be lame xD, but the fact that they can do this and are friends is just another reason they are enjoyable imo.

Edit: some were insulting Painuser's skill, but he did place 3rd in MLG Dallas 2010!
So everything sucks, but thats okay; I can just turn the music up.

I like Painuser more than before, I feel his interview mentality is improved tremendously and is worthy of commendation now! Both do better than anything I could produce.

I think they're pretty good, though HD needs to stop with the stupid pop culture references.

And at the very least, they're both better than Gretorp.
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

I find the friendship the two have create great synergy in their casting ability. Needless to say improvements can be made, such as I would prefer to see HD just be somewhat more accurate when he analyses but his shoutcasting is still pretty good while I do enjoy the analysis of Painuser, as well as some of the descriptive words he uses, but I think that that they are fairly good now, but have the potential to be a great casting duo with time.
Don't pressure me please, I like my drones too much
