They also mentioned something about Broodwar HD again at the end in the post event interviews didn't they? | ||

Considering they just got back from Blizzcon... I'm pretty sure it's some kind of blizzard support for bw, either bw hd or a bnet 2.0 integration. If there's no blizzard involvement I don't know... a bigger ASL ? | ||

But they're trying to sell the point that they are super duper experts in the game and the scene a bit to hard when they're not. + Show Spoiler + I mean every average guy still playing the game prolly - doesn't have to ask himself how many zeal+probe hit it takes to kill a drone with +0/+1 - is not surprised how good JD is; we know which accounts he plays on fish - doesn't call the citadel of Adun twilight council by mistake Again, i like the casts but stop acting like you know everything and are such high level experts etc when you're just not.  I don't get this sentiment.. They catered more to the people that aren't the average guy you mentioned (people flowing over from SCII). They are super duper experts because they were the original english casters for big tournaments like GOM. And Artosis was a pretty high level BW player. You probably know this, but I think your post is pretty condescending towards them and I won't eat it up. | ||

You probably know this, but I think your post is pretty condescending towards them and I won't eat it up. I think the problem stems from a lack of options if you are not a Korean speaker. There are zero "super duper experts" who cast Brood War for a living, and in a game that's as nuanced as Brood War, I think some constructive criticism is fine as long as it contributes towards better casting in the future. I personally rate Lee Seung Won (one of the best, if not the best, Starcraft commentator during the days of professional Brood War) extremely highly as a commentator, but I still found myself wanting to see free's perspective on the game after testing the waters here and there on Afreeca. I don't want to put any misinformed opinions of the English casting that went on today, but even the best commentators can be given constructive criticism, and even during Tastosis' absolute peak, I wasn't of the opinion that they were the pinnacle of e-Sports commentary. You can always strive to improve. Maybe a little more respect might be required for the status they earned as the premier Brood War casters back in the days, but you can't rest on your laurels if that is what happened today (again, I want to emphasize I have no idea if that is what actually happened), there's so much strategic nuances and almost a saga-like history between the players that it's actually incredibly hard to do it justice even you have been trying to keep up full time. No one is beyond reproach. And even though I much prefer Korean casting, I do enjoy high level English commentary when it does occur, and in a game that is as fantastic as Brood War, I think a call for higher level of excellence is not completely out of hand. | ||

Feedback is always important, but the feedback needs to be given in the right context. And for the context of this showmatch I believe the casters did a great job. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/O3qtlEl.jpg) Had a blast at the event. The place was (almost?) completely full and the crowd was so into it. BO1 was a bit of a pity but the finals were super fun! Tasteless & Artosis were up on the front stage which was cool to see too. No stress, more exciting! | ||

Hopefully this does mean that Bisu has the confidence to participate in tournaments now. | ||

Please, they claimed that the Shield upgrade for Protoss increases the shield's regeneration rate in ASL. That's not even close to being an expert. Also many strategies they claimed as new were already being played 5 years ago. It's just new to them because they stopped doing BW when SC2 came out. | ||

Also on the Flash vs Bisu game, if Flash's turrets had finished 3-5 secs earlier he would have taken it I think. | ||

Sure, there's a difference between current knowledge, but that's not really the point here. You're absolutely right that they're not up to par with how the game is played in the present, but that doesn't make them not understand the game any longer. They've been involved in the BW scene for a long time and going back to it simply refreshes everything. Even if they lag behind, it's not like they're completely out of the loop by seeing how the current meta is like. I think they can analyse how something works when it's played in a different way. | ||
