Games were amazing, casting was fantastic, but I especially loved the caster couch inbetween the games, it brought up so...much... HYPE! It wasn't just analysis from the other casters, it was to keep everyone pumped up! And you're the best when it comes to that! It was such a treat for us fans, to see the some of the most popular figures of SC2 get together and talk about the games. You are one of them and you absolutely had a place on the caster couch, maybe not as an analyst, but as the guy who shouts - ARE YOU READY FOR THE FINAAAAAAALSSSSSSSSSS!!! | ||

I don't get the elitist point of view on everything... I don't want the game to be casted by top10 GrandMaster, and if yes, it has to be fun (like TLO :D)...Of course, I don't want the caster to make mistakes and I want insights about timings, map specifities and everything but primarily I want to have FUN. All of the casters brought that to a certain extend and TB was very good at it... SC2 has a lot of funny situations in every game, bad/good baneling detonations, fail tank siege timings, etc etc... One should definitely take advantage of it to make the casting even more pleasant to listen to... TB is very good at it... Anyway, I think some comments are really harsh, no need to be rude and someone who puts so much effort in this activity deserves a little more empathy (not sure its the right word but I think you'll understand me ^^).. Choose your words carefully folks, words can hurt also... Excellent read overall, keep it up TB!!! | ||

However. I don't like how many games you play and are actively shout casting for. It makes me think "Why should I follow or like this caster, he shows little loyalty, he's here now.. but how long before he leaves for the next best thing?" The thing with Day9 and Tastosis. There's a sense of security in actively supporting them. Because they live and breathe Starcraft and have done so for more than a decade! They are rock solid but I'm afraid your water in my eyes TB. Until you can prove me otherwise anyway. So unfortunately, I will not actively follow you, but I won't shut off a stream just because your casting either. | ||

It's a shame that you/Apollo got the low-budget looking set, but you guys still did great. I'm gonna get a lot of flak for this, but I prefer you two to Tasteosis. EDIT : Edit: watch this and see that im not the only one who feels this way. Wow, what a terrible clip. I had heard of InControl starting beef with TB, but this was just lame, I actually lost what little respect for InControl I had because of it. | ||

Great write-up anyway, 5/5 Dude some manner, he has one of the greatest casting voices but as he said, Starcraft 2 is not the only thing he is focusing on. You can study Starcraft 2 for 2 years without touching the surface. Ive played since launch and i am still learning every day. Casters need to have pro knowledge which is only attainable by doing SC2 24/7 basicly. | ||

About the couch though, I have to admit that for the finals I wasn't really feeling it - I'm not talking about your input either, I just don't know that it was the best format between games to just jump over to the other four casters and hear their input about the game that we just watched and heard analyzed by Tastosis. Not to mention that with that many casters on the couch as you said before, no one really gets enough in to give it any merit at all. I feel like that time could've been better spent talking to maybe the teammates/managers of the players, or something, but the "casting couch" just didn't really do it for me. All in all, thanks for your help in making Dreamhack as enjoyable as it was. | ||
