EPTI really enjoyed everyone's casting. The long hours must've been tough for you guys, and it's clearly not ideal working conditions. But most of us appreciate the hard work. It was an awesome tournament.

So someone being a bit harsh (most of what he says is true I think, its the part about commitment that is off, as I think TB is committed. He is kind of like DjWheat imo, only noone gives wheat any flak. ) entitles you to be a dick too? Borderline backseat moderating isnt exactly great posting either. | ||

Lol I see what you did there :-P I just get annoyed when people tell others they're not wanted/needed like that. It's not really his choice to make. (hence the moderating comment) | ||

 I'm glad you know your own flaws and speak about them openly 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 Let's be honest - You're a great caster; Even more so when combined with Apollo. I love your co-casting, but being part-time you cannot have the same knowledge as someone who dedicated their last 12 years to this game (Day9 / Tastosis) - so I'm happy to see you're actually aware of this. Also: There are times when I think it can be perceived that I'm ignoring Apollo's points, more often than not it's simply because his explanation is so thorough and accurate that I have no followup ... I actually wondered about this during your casts. Maybe it's just my personal opinion but sometimes you simply repeat Apollo's point, where I'd almost rather have you go on with something else - or explaining even further (e.g. drops: Apollo explaining how a drop killing double forges can be devastating - I wouldn't mind you explaining how much this delays upgrades/weakens the main army). This was just my thoughts. Great blog man Enjoy Stockholm.When will we be seeing you in action again? | ||

I know you want the top hat to be your thing, but it doesn't mean you can ignore everything else you are wearing. You are a caster, not a random sc2 fan. That's really the least relevant thing i can think of tbh. Suit-jacket + t-shirt and jeans are hardly smart, proper attire either. TBH one of these days I'll do an event in a proper tailored suit, but Dreamhack isn't a suitable venue for that, plus I was one of 3 commentator in jeans + t-shirt for the finals yet they didn't get criticised for it. | ||

You would be surprised how concerned people are with the casters fashion sense, I remember the NASL feedback thread was mostly filled with comments about them wearing a sportsjacket+Tshirt. That said, a ESPORTS embroidery on to the jacket/top hat should be prioritized. | ||

My biggest complain with DH was that it just feels like an MLG but with a massively smaller budget. DH has been the biggest LAN in the world for ages, it makes no sense that it feels so small and unprepared (then again, I was only watching stream, I haven't actually been there). So many issues during the events, and the speakers are just dreadful, thank god for the casters who are WAY more professional. | ||

Don't worry so much about analysis. I said something like this in the chat at the time. You may not have pro level knowledge of the game but you ARE a pro level caster. You are the exciting guy with a great voice. The ability to Host and quip and talk really really fast and cheer are just as vital to a great cast as being able to analyse the play. Adding a caster like you to an analyst takes the spectator experience from Golf to Football. The people who don't like what you do because you can't give pro level analysis, they are %$#ing golf fans. They want to watch a game because they know sooo much about they can smile smugly and nod along while people talk about the evolving meta game. People who watch you want, OMFG marines are shooting stuff, that thing exploded, **pop gaming culture reference** blood everywhere **horrible pun** GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAL I'm not really hiding my bias, I think you are WAY more entertaining to watch, and when you work with dApollo we get the best of both worlds. Just because you are forever gold league doesn't make you not a pro level caster. | ||

Good job! Seemed to be a motley crue on the couch, but it made sense in a weird way. | ||
