There is, but at the same time, I think most people are looking for game knowledge when discussing sc2. Games seem much more meaningful when you have casters whose game sense you trust explain to you what/why something is happening. I'm watching IPL right now and CatsPJs analysis is really bad/wrong quite often, but he does have a good personality so I've kept watching. | ||

TB is entertaining, but knows so little about the game that it detracts. Don't be a negatron? Is that what you say to criticism? How incredibly inane and blind. If you cant take well constructed, polite criticism then you have problems as a public figure and as a community. Edit: watch this and see that im not the only one who feels this way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7DMKDyoSAs TB said it himself, there is more to casting than just game knowledge and I agree with him. You can know everything there is to know about SC2, but if you cannot work properly with your co-caster or lack the ability to make things exciting or anything of the sort, I would not care to tune in to your games. I personally would like TB to continue working on his strengths rather than become a analytic caster, because we already have many analysis-type casters like Artosis and Apollo who are well-praised, so competing against them (sort to speak, not sure if casters compete with another) would be difficult. | ||

Several of us said that we'd love what we said on the couch during the games to be like a directors commentary, an alternate stream or some kind of bonus because I think people would have enjoyed (as well as have been a little offended) by the stuff we said. However, on camera it was all analysis and let's be honest, what place do I have there alongside Day9, Bitter, Tastosis and Apollo? What can I offer in that scenario? Nothing at all Kudos for saying that outright. I loved the idea of the between-game analysis, but it wasn't executed as well as it could have been. In the end it felt a little forced - each caster essentially delivered a one liner, and as you say, yours was typically a token effort. I would have much preferred some more in-depth discussion from the high level analysts, e.g., a play-by-play of key segments of the game. Having said that, I thought you did a good job as commentator, and this is a wonderful write-up! | ||
