Some people are play-by-play orientated commentators and TB is the best one of these by far. It only adds to your credibility that you realize this. This is also why the ball should have been dropped from tastosis to you and not day[9]. You should have been the one to go "holy shit I hope I didn't interrupt the cast with my pounding heart I definitively felt Hero had the lead at several points..." And THEN the others can drop their analysis and after that you can wrap and give it back to casters. Day[9] definitively takes to much room and comes off as pretty full of himself (This is my personal opinion and it's unrelated to the point above, still a day[9] fan but imo he needs to chill a little | ||

1. You nail every point on why I am not your biggest fan. You are getting better (much, much better). As for not playing off well with Apollo. Bull. He is by far the best casting partner you have been paired with. Why continue on something that has been very well explained? You are the initiator, Apollo brings the conclusions. 2. Awesome writeup. 3. Please, make the host thing happen. While your commentary is by no means bad anymore, you hosting would be sweet. It is also the next logical step in how to really bring the production value up as you say. 4. Casting couch. Yes. I really saw the potential flowing from that couch. And I saw how uncomfortable you were there the whole time. Also, how the hell is anyone supposed to get a word in amongst Tastosis and day9? All in all, the couch did not work, but damn, it really really could. | ||

As I pointed out before though, and someone else pointed out earlier in the comments here, I think having you being the host of sorts in the couch would be an ideal solution. It would make the entire thing a little more structured I think, it would be easier to distribute the time more evenly between the people in the couch and I'm sure it would set you in a more comfortable role than analysing games. Thanks for helping making DH such an awesome event! | ||

On a slightly irrelevant addendum, I'd never watched or played SC/BW/SC2 until I saw your stream about 6 months ago, and a couple of weeks ago I found myself travelling to Insomnia to watchg my first tournament in person and had an awesome time, thanks! | ||

[B] My biggest complaint, as someone who was there, is that (watching the VODS) the arena didn't look or sound nearly as impressive. It was INSANE and I wish it was really visible on the stream as it was for us there. Oh well, until next time! =D i agree entirely. i think pictures taken from the crowd give a better idea of how awesome it was. here was my POV: http://imgur.com/a/bRLcX | ||

I like variety between Day[9]'ish analysis casting and your entertainment casting. Keep it up  | ||

As you pointed out, you may not have much to offer anlysis-wise (yet) but when you get excited about the game it's freaking awesome. Much love | ||

Also: I wasn't even aware Apollo was sick! (Although I missed most of Dreamhack) kudos to you both though! | ||

I am not legit as an analyst, but have never claimed to be one to begin with. There is more to public speaking than just game knowledge. But that's what i like about your casting. I don't really want to have an all analytic commentated match. That's your strenght. Hope you'll never get good enough to don't have appolo by your side. Because i really like how you do now. Damn your voice and tone is so awesome that i could imagine your voice while reading your article. Keep up the good work. I'm all with you Master Biscuit EDIT : Oh and by the way. Musical entrance for players would be SOOOO Huge. I really hope to see that one day for SC2. | ||

It would be better if he always just said where the action is taking place after making such a remark. Such as "There is a drop incoming to the main" or "There's DT's killing the probe line at the three a'clock" and the likes. | ||

When he spots for example a drop, he often says something like "Oh and he is being dropped as well" without saying where, which means you either have to actively look for the drop (which looks slightly silly as you control the camera and you may not find it in time regardless, especially if there are multiple things going on) or you have to ask him where (which sounds quite silly and makes you look slightly foolish). It would be better if he always just said where the action is taking place after making such a remark. Such as "There is a drop incoming to the main" or "There's DT's killing the probe line at the three a'clock" and the likes. Actually that's not a problem at all and is one of our signals. He holds his camera on the drop and I instantly snap to it via the hotkeys. We don't miss drops like that anymore as a result | ||
