I'd like Rapid better if he omitted certain words/phrases/prefixes from his vocabulary. "infinity", "ultra", "of course", "obviously" exception: Ultralisk Note: see how much better that is than, "exception: Ultralisk, obviously" User was warned for this post. | ||

Less blind assumptions/"filler" talk compared to when he casted with Artosis - very good effort to call out the bulids and echoing what the observer was showing. NoRegret did his job to keep Rapid on track and even though he's an SC2 guy, he can still sense shifts in the game and point out stuff Rapid missed. I thought it was a little touching that Rapid mentioned watching the KA S1 OSL final and never thinking he'd be casting the very same matchup 8 years later. You can't not admire a nerd fulfilling his dreams. We're all living vicariously through him in that regard. Keep working on it. It's easy to see that Rapid follows TL a lot from the topics he brings up, so it's almost like he's a representation of a TL fan getting the opportunity to cast his favourite esport from within the motherland itself. I'm rootin for ya. | ||

I still think Rapid still needs to learn a lot from Tastosis and about the game so that he can sound more confident, but I did post this in the ASL finals LR thread: Keep working on it.

A nice balance of knowing the BW limits, with a lot of good hype(!) during the tense moments of the games and most importantly, this casting really showed your passion for this game. Genuinely enjoyed this cast! Keep it up! Cheers | ||

And while he was putting in the effort to do his job (OH WILL HE SURVIVE?!?!?!) like in the Transistor game, you have NoRegret "Mr Smart Ass" going "Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Come one dude, you're bad at the game, at least don't be bad at the other things and understand your role. Do you think Rapid is that much of an idiot to not know when someone is probably going to lose? Rapid must've been so mad a him. | ||

There is absolutely no point in overhyping an obviously done game like this, though. This irritate me quite a bit... | ||

Following that I must say I'm very surprised about some people beeing 100% satisfied and so thrilled about Rapid and Noregret adding a "unique view of the game to the cast", I really feel they are two rookies (don't mean to trash them, i like the guys and I want them to stay and keep getting better) watching the game and missing many little detail that is not in plain sight. 1 example: Am I the only one realising that in Circuit Breakers the Mole Zerg early aggression was so heavy, it disrupted Flash's BO to such extent that by the time he HAD to push Effort's 3rd he had Vessels and Tank but no Academy, but because he is Flash and knew how bad he got cornered and that the time was right there and not later, he did it anyway???. I think it was min 10 of the game, Terran was pushing Zerg with Marine, Vessel, Tank, but no medics and no stim (!!!!!). A pro caster CANNOT miss that, that is major crazyness goin on in the finals stage, that is BO warfare going so further players are beeing forced to play off the script big time, that happening in a finals make me wanna start jumping on my chair and scream to the players like a fucking hooligan. Again, no disrespect, don't mean to trash, I'm just setting the standars high, because I'm BW player, overlooking details is not in my nature. Go Rapid and go Noregret! please keep that hype and love for the sport you have and continue to deep you knowledge about the game, you need to keep learning! Also I really miss Artosis, to me he is the foreign comentator bonjwa, so smart, so attentive, he is the best, I love you man! (L) | ||

Yes, that part was crazy. It's the kind of move I'd pull when I feel like I must do something because I'm in a "bad" spot haha. The mining of the path to prevent reinforcements was also pretty cool to see. Small details like that get missed all the time, but they are really important and can be a game decider. After all, if those lings never made it down, Flash would've done a lot more damage to that third, and would've won the game sooner imo. | ||

Totally agree, when ton of experience with perfect mechanics are facing each other it's all about the details. For example when Action is pretending to be playing a normal game vs Light, he was faking intentions to take the 3rd (or mb was a 4th, dont remember) showing Light the drone while he was actually preparing a KO move in the form of a proxy nydus: every time he saw Light army going back home he would show drone and even start hatch, instantly and unavoidably luring Light atention wich reflected so clearly in his army movement, getting the focus away from the actually important part of the map, that detail was as important as the proxy itself, without that it would have failed almost 100%. Anyway, I even noticed Rapid has problems differentiating an overpool from a 9p and similar stuff. Man, if you are reading this please don't take it personally, I'm not trying to shit on you, I genuinely like you, I love to have you around, I just think that as a caster you are far from awesome and I want you to be awesome. Same with Noregret, the guy has the tool set, he is a smartguy, he clearly has the progamer brain, but if he's getting paid to cast a finals he needs to take it a little further. I know this can't be done overnight but go for it, next to you you have an awesome caster named Artosis, that is where you should aim in my opinion. Hwaiting | ||

Personally I feel like he should be in a trio with Tatosis, like how Koreans cast in threes. | ||
