well i have time to kill as proleague starts in 8 minutes........so i just wanted to get this off my chest:
I was watching MLG and at the end of the night the last match JP was casting, the 'player' was winning 1-0 and he said he 'hopes the next match will be the last' and goes on ranting about how they have been casting all day, and continually said he hopes it is the last game. FML do you know how many people would love to be in your position, and you dont even want to do you job!!
I watched games after that casted by day 9 and wheat that went on for much later.....not a single complaint!
So i am just saying, i hate it when casters complain about being in that position of having to cast 'too many games' and casting for 12 hours straight........ I would do it for more and for free as well! and im sure many others would too.
It would be such a blessing to be casting there, it only lasts 3 days. Please JP, dont complain
 
|
Yeah that bugged me quite a bit as well. Can't really justify bitching about your job in that kind a situation. >_>
|
why don't you make a blog about ...... oh wait.
|
Eh, i personally don't mind so much but it is generally frowned upon. I remember this happening to a much worse extent early on in sc2 and its not worth the shit you get to complain about being in that position.
Love jp though, i dont mind at all but i think he'll end up getting some shit.
|
Shouldn't complain on air but you have no idea how hard it is to cast that much in one day. Also the later it goes the less your mind is working 100% right, at a certain point you tend to hit auto-pilot. It's a pretty forgivable mistake.
|
also jp isnt just magically in his position he busts his ass to be able to do what hes doing and if that comes off in a little bit of complaining so be it.
|
I respect JP for the effort he puts in, but man he gets on my last nerve. I just can't stomach him at all and I realize I'm probably alone in that. His faux laugh and flat personality just kill me. I really wish he would just stick to behind the scenes stuff. Even on SotG (his own show lol), he's the person I like least. He just has the personality of an oven mitt. I do sincerely respect all he does for "eSports" but I'd much prefer if he were just a tournament organizer or something.
Not that my opinion matters on the subject! But it is a blog post, after all.

I'm not sure I'd go as extreme as you, but I can definitely tell you that you're not entirely alone here. T_T

Didn't see this happen but you sure it wasn't just in a joking manner? People just say stuff without meaning it all the time on cast. And the guy is in the position he's in because he worked hard for it... for years and years in esports. Shouldn't call people out for not loving their job if they've actually spent the effort and time to get there.

you're not alone. JP has no game knowledge whatsoever to be casting (shouldn't be casting in the first place). he's only casting because he works for MLG and for the publicity. ever see another organization reach out to hire him? yeah, there's a reason. i would even take totalbiscuit over him, at least he tries to make it interesting
|
I don't think you understand how exhausting working at mlg all day can be, specifically when your on camera. Also you say JP does it again, sources? I don't recall him saying that, and you can guarantee he's going to be tired, it'll be a relief for him to go to bed tonight.
|
Casters are literally there for 20 out of the 24 hours there are in a day, they are lucky if they even get 4 hours of sleep MAX
Don't be so quick to judge
|
im not sure why JP is in this business. he just doesnt seem all that interested in it when you hear his voice, on his face, and the things he says. I thought he might be depressed or something from the flat, blunted tone of his voice.

JP is a masters player . I'm pretty sure the likes of rotterdam / mr bitter also started casting when they were in masters. Give the man some slack on the game knowledge side , his isn't JUST a caster . He hosts sotg and does other stuff for mlg i presume.
|
I used to volunteer and work for a few organizations that ran quite a few tournaments back in the day. Whether it was volunteer or paid, there were many 12-20 hour days involving a ton of different types of work. However, I never complained and find it hard to believe that I'd ever complain about something I love doing. Maybe he doesn't love what he does and that's unfortunate.
|
I casted from 10AM to like 8-9PM at LANETS twice (Sat and Sunday).
I thought I'd hate it and struggle, but it was amazing whether I was solo-casting or dual-casting, I wish I could do it all the time ):
JP isn't typically a caster, he likes more behind-the-scenes tasks, but he did sound depressed this whole time.

He is a masters player?
Personally I find JP's casting intolerable, and if he's complaining about then maybe he should stick to hosting shows and whatnot. I think I would prefer clutch casting and JP doing clutches job tbh.

He was random masters I believe.. not sure if he's still playing.
|
I heard he was masters as well.
I've never cared for him as a caster. He fits better in other roles like SoTG host, in between matches announcer/interviewer, etc.
|
JP is such an exciting caster, I can't blame him if he feels tired with all that passion he injects into his work.
