Did you miss out?

You can download the whole broadcast here.


Edit by Chill:

Hi. Just wanted to bump this to let people know we will be casting the Proleague Grand Finals on Saturday the 16th Korean time (Friday the 15th night North American time).

I've already gone through and read all the comments left in this thread, in PMs and on Youtube; however, if you have any further suggestions please post them here.

All the players from the past cast will be back: Hot_Bid, GTR-2-Go, Kennigit and myself. R1CH will be broadcasting the feed with a 1000 user limit this time (Hoho so get on early before those fill up quickly). We may be bringing on other casters to fill in the gaps in our commentary, and to help with their expertise during down time between games - It's something we're still looking into.

We'll be putting forth some more effort into improving and preparing, so again, if you have any suggestions, technical or personal, please post them here.

Thanks, and hope you tune in.

I can't be awake at that hour on that day so I definitely won't be a guest. But TL.net has plenty of very knowledgeable people so I'm confident it'll be a great commentary as long as they don't encounter technical problems.

I gotta say, I think Day[9] would make a good commentator. He commentates well in the live reports thread, and he is apparently related to a commentator, so he has a basis for comparison. I hope this works out well

Those Day/Nony commentaries aren't live.

Doing commentaries live is significantly more difficult than doing them afterwards, when you already know the results and have a sense of the game. Making them entertaining, even more so. Which is why Tasteless and Klaz stand head and shoulders above the rest for live commentary.

Looking forward to these Proleague Finals commentaries.

I think, for example, Klaz is good and all although I dont think he should talk that fast all the time.
He doesn't have to tell us everything that is going on all the time since we are actually watching it ourselves.
Pretty much like the difference between listening to a sports-commentator on the radio vs listening to a sports-commentator on TV, if you understand what I mean...

This is just me trying to give some constructive critisism. I think they're doing a good job and I dont want them to quit doing it. But please think about this.

EDIT: also don't take this the wrong way. I don't mean that you can't scream OMG THAT SHUTTLE JUST DIED. If you think so, then please listen to a game on the radio then on TV and think about the difference.

Sorry if i used poor English, I'm tired.

Doing commentaries live is significantly more difficult than doing them afterwards, when you already know the results and have a sense of the game. Making them entertaining, even more so. Which is why Tasteless and Klaz stand head and shoulders above the rest for live commentary.

Looking forward to these Proleague Finals commentaries.


lol? klaz/mole/digg aren't done live either


Klaz has done several live commentaries and Diggity has done a couple.

I think whether they are done live or not is a moot point. If the commentators haven't seen the games before, their commentaries are fresh and exciting (whether or not they are commentating on the games as they happen, or delayed a short while).
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

So is there going to be a live stream for this commentary? Any links?

I'm looking forward to it.

Ok, apparently Chill dogged me and Day and is now casting with Hot_Bid and Rekrul

So me and Day are pretty much thinking of scrapping this idea.

Also Kennigit and yubee are doing one =o

Dude I told you like fucking 4 days ago I was doing it with Hot_Bid + Steve. And you said you were doing it with Zulu and Day. Steve didn't want to do it so we subbed in Rekrul.

So it's going to be:
Chill + Hot_Bid + Rekrul doing one
GTR-2-Go + Day[9] possibly doing one
Kennigit + Yubee are still doing their singcast I believe

We are going to put up a stream and I will record it so we can upload it later.

ok new plan

streaming is too much work and i cant figure it out properly.
hot_bid suggested we just record a commentary afterwards which is what were going to do

so during the game well just enjoy the game, dicking around on vent like normal
and then afterwards we will record a commentary and release it.

sorry for people who were looking forward to otherwise but I think this way the commentary will come out better and we can enjoy the proleague finals without stream desync issues and shoutcasting issues

Live commentary is a go (I hope).

Use this link for clicking in a browser:
http://89.46.37.126:8000/stream.m3u

Use this link in a media player (copy / paste it, don't click it in a browser). Should work in winamp, foobar, VLC, etc. Do NOT open this in your browser, it will just sit there forever trying to download and will not work. Use the one above if you have something setup to handle M3U.
+ Show Spoiler +
http://89.46.37.126:8000/stream


NOTE: URLs may be subject to change if the load turns out to be too high for the server I have it on. If it suddenly goes down check back here.

Synchronizing your video with the audio will be a pain in the ass. Hopefully the guys doing the commentary will give us audio cues at various points, eg if there is an in-game timer visible, stating the time every so often will help people sync up. I can't help with this one .

as r1ch said, the syncing side will be up to you
its impossible to get a stream thats consistently synced to everyone. well do the countdown and you can try to sync to that, but our major concern will be only syncing to each other

When were the maps decided for the finals? It is sure that Lecaf could start practicing some maps, but in my opinion Jaedong was not seeded onto Python, he was seeded onto the FIRST POSSIBLE MAP, so he could pull his weight as early as possible.

The commentary was a little understandably dead between games but it absolutely rocked during the 2v2, great stuff, I learned a lot about the map and the 2v2 styles on it.

Note, this will be fairly hard to sync to a replay unfortunately, since only individual games are available, meaning the time will get skewed between games. But it should be manageable if you really want to try it .

Oh, does it mean you cut the part out, when our really appreciated commentators shared their experience on blood bath? I loved the part when Hot_Bid said "I 6 raxed, but couldn't place the bunker since the dronerush was already there" :D.

I listened to the whole thing. It was pretty good overall, and I really liked the loads of strategical insight and such. My only complaint is that it seemed like you guys weren't excited enough at times, even when something huge happens in the match. For example, when Anytime makes his uber-ballsy game-deciding goon push into Darkelf's tanks, I just didn't feel as much enthusiasm coming from the commentary as I normally near from the Koreans, Tasteless, and other English commentary (Gentho/Artosis, Klaz, Diggity, Moletrap). If you just have one guy who calls out big plays and shows a lot of energy during those times, it would add a lot imo. Also, sometimes I thought it would be better if you didn't call the game so soon, even if it pretty much was over. It would be better imo, if you instead said "so and so has a huge advantage and it would be extremely difficult/take a miracle to come back from this". Overall, I really enjoyed the commentary and I hope to hear some more in the future.

awesome awesome commentary. i had the commentary running in winamp and the vods in gomplayer and worked really well. just had to pause unpause the one which was a little faster then it would all be tip top synched.

man with this commentary and the subtitles things going on im really moved that we (you guys) are still able to put so much work into this game to make it so much better for the whole community.

thanks to all involved and it was really really helpful and interesting listening to you guys give your insights and analysis of the games live.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

The commentary through out the games was very informative and clear, however my suggestion would be to have more preperation done so you have something to talk about between games or when during the lulls in the game.

I'm trying to sync up the games and put them on youtube. It would be too much work to figure out what to do with all the talking in between games (as entertaining as it was), so I'm just going to sync up the games, mostly.

Anyway, I have the first game up already, and I'll be doing the rest this week when I find the time..

Game 1:
Part 1, Part 2

I guess I could come back and edit this post or make new replies, but it'd probably be easier for people to just keep an eye on the VioleTAK youtube account since I'll be uploading them there.

yeah i knew it'd be problematic about the excitement level as chill and i both aren't the most energetic of casters, but we didn't set out to really describe what was happening because we knew people were watching the streams and didn't need it. so we tried to focus on talking about what was going on rather than telling the audience what was going on, and it's pretty difficult to get excited about analysis.

listening to myself talk i found a ton of errors and ways to improve. i need to smooth out my delivery and think a bit more ahead of what i am saying. also, i had a ton more stuff to say but never did because i didn't plan out how to say stuff very well. still, it was our first time so hopefully we'll have opportunities to do better.

Appreciate the feedback.

We consciously made the decision not to feign excitement but I think we took it WAY too far. I listened to it and we sound bored and boring for most of it. I think sometimes english casters sound fake in their excitement and that's why we decided to avoid that. But I think we really need to do the opposite and make a conscious decision to be excited or else you get monotone casting for three and a half hours. And we're not the most excitable people either. I expect Youtube to hate us since we sound WAY more amateurish than Moletrap/Diggity/Klazart, and we are boring to listen to and don't even call the play haha :X.

I think the back-and-forth between Hot_Bid and myself was a little too formulaic. If we had three people it would probably be better. Moletrap/Diggity, how did you guys decide who was going to talk when you did it? I was thinking of having the Vent chat open and whoever has something to say types 'next' or something. The problem with this is if no one types next, then who talks? Also the fact that we weren't really reading the chat. If we can solve this problem it might be interesting to just have a ton of commentators and have at 'er. Hmm on second thought that might be a disaster lol.

As for the in between games, Hot_Bid mentioned we should prepare stuff for that but I said I didn't even want to cast in between because I had nothing to say. I think Hot_Bid had random notes but other than that we just went in cold. I think we should have got more people just in the Vent so we could round-table reactions more. Kennigit helped a lot in that regards.

What do people think of the banter in between games? Would you prefer it to move more towards professionalism, setting up the next game, reviewing the past game, etc? Or move away, trash talking each other, talking about random shit, etc?

I think the actual meat of the commentary was good, despite the fact that I missed A LOT of stuff. after rewatching it. Somehow I didn't see that Evolution Chamber in the Kwanro game even though I was watching the game super closely. Obviously this commentary isn't going to appeal to the casual audience because the excitement levels are extremely low. I don't really care about that, but I feel like TL members would benefit from a little more excitement. I also blame the games, as there were 4 rapes, 1 decent 2v2, and a really nice game

I dunno, I'm just putting my thoughts down here so people can hopefully use them to add their own suggestions.

Thanks a lot Moletrap for taking the time to sync that, much appreciated.

Oh I also forgot to mention about "calling the game too soon". It really bugs me when commentators are like "he'll needed unbelievable play to come back" when the game is clearly over.

Basically I can sum up saying that the style of commentating I tried was a result of trying to fix errors I see others make, but we clearly took it too far in one direction. Hopefully we get a second chance to try again :D

because people are watching the stream, and they don't need to be read what is happening. they can see that with their own eyes. if you have someone there calling the play just to "spice things up" then theres not enough time for actual analysis. i found after rewatching that there was a ton of stuff i missed and didn't say, and we barely had any dead time during the matches.

because we're mostly looking to focus more on strategy (because the action is right on your screen)
plus klazart has shown that his attitude stinks (http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?currentpage=1&topic_id=65577)

Something to look into... either changing ourselves or adding a third. I think we're afraid of the commentary being dominated by emotional play-by-play. We don't want people being read to them what's happening on the screen, but we took it too far not even mentioning when good moves were happening. Either way something needs to change.

Analysis is nice and all and understandably you guys want it to be your focal point. But watching a starcraft match should also be entertaining, you don't want your audience member to fall asleep at their keyboards. Play by play gives the audience the ability to zone out, there's nothing wrong with having someone basically hand holding you and saying what's going on. A great emotional play by play can take a boring crap match like hiya vs much and make it presentable and worth watching. It'll elimate dead zone, cause since you sharing mic time, you'll be ready whenever you have something to say. There's really very little negative at all.

I disagree. There's a huge negative. You're either catering toward a more general audience of people who don't really watch progaming much or you're aiming to provide insight that people who are more knowledgeable about promatches want to hear. Either way, one group will not be fully satisfied -- that's the negative.

A summary of the action is only a positive for those that want that kind of cast. It's perfectly fine to have that opinion. I'm not saying one type of cast is better than the other. I agree that we can inject more excitement, but bear with us, it was our first try. But to say that there's "little negative at all" to making emotional play-by-play is wrong -- it ignores the fact that we have a very different type of goal for our casting than others that summarize what is going on. Both ways are fine, just different.

There were a ton of things we missed or could have stated more eloquently. To fill a lot of that time up with saying what was happening is something that runs counter to our goals.

Plenty of people who don't play starcraft watch progaming and there's an influx of new blood and you know why? Cause of the passionate commentating that a few provide on youtube.

Even if you can give full analysis there were still be a tremedous amount of deadzone, this is assuming you don't take 20 seconds to finish a sentence, say ummm, uhh, ahh after every two words. Your goal of giving analytical match will not be jeopardize at all, and the few things you miss can alway be done at the pregame show or post game report when the Korean's show the replays.

To say both group can't be satisfy is just a faux. I'm sure plenty here wouldn't mind at all if a experience emotional play by play guy was assisting.

Listening to the Jaedong vs Iris game atm and its not bad, but honestly I don't see much if any more strategic insight than the other commentators who everyone seems to say have none. Maybe I'm not good enough to realize it but thats what I thought.

I just watched Game 1, and it was decent. I hesitate to say if it really added that much to the overall experience though, strategically or otherwise (and definitely not emotionally )... perhaps you guys just didn't give enough credit to how brilliant Jaedong's play was that game despite his relatively ineffectual use of spire tech.
Really just preventing Iris's army from being able to win battles away from the center by defending perfectly using/abusing nydus mobility and swarms, keeping vessel counts within reason (plague on vessels + spore colony is an ingenious and simple way to stop free irradiates), and steadily and surely building his gas advantage.

Then again, analysis is far easier when you've seen the entire game before figuring out how he won.

The only dead air I remember from the entire 3+ hours was between games. Having a play-by-play commentator basically guarantees that more important things will be missed.

It'd probably be best if HB and Chill just mention fairly significant things as they happen, instead of having a play-by-play guy or avoiding it altogether. It's a good way to transition to the strategical significance what's going on.

Also they should talk in Aussie accents the whole time.

I enjoyed it.

It definitely catered to a different audience, though I worry that such an audience is impossible to cater to.

The crowd aiming for a higher degree of strategical insight tend to have a strategic mindset to start so its rare that you will be adding anything to their viewer experience. It also seems like the current gap between casual viewer and hardcore player seems to be rather narrow. Its either or and therefore the demand seems to be one direction or the other.

For the former play by play and talking about how players could potentially get back in the game is important (even though the likelihood of a comeback is narrow). I cant remember which game it was but Xeris and I were like .... yea he would need to expand like crazy or tech like mad to get back into this and both would either be lucky or suicidal.

Ultimate I worry about the <----insightful energetic----> scale as they seem to be mutually exclusive. I personally feel like klaz balances both in a way that other cant.

Different strokes for different folks I guess but the more that is out there the more likely someone will find something they enjoy which is the point (after all this is a game).

Thus I encourage anyone who feels like they can contribute to contribute. (posted how to video in the general forum)

On Klaz's behavior and the prior mess please confine comments to PMs. I think he responded in the same way that any other person would have responded in the same situation, so I hope that is kept in mind.

I'm not going to get into who is right and who is wrong because that doesn't solve anything. I would hope that all parties involved would resolve their issues now and make up so we can move forward together instead of dividing into camps, though I cant force anyone to do anything.

Analytical commentary is, I think, better suited for post mortem casts where the commentators have all seen the game before and just want to explore it more in depth. For live commentary, people want to become emotionally involved in the action...that's the essence of spectator sports, and it's critical that this component be there. Play-by-play adds to this by creating a sort of rhythm, and connects the commentary to the game. Just doing analysis creates a detached air, which I think detracts from the overall experience.

I guess what I'm saying is that it's better to watch the game first with energetic commentary that balances play by play and some level of analysis and then watch it again later with a more in depth, but laid back, analytical commentary.

You need to learn to talk faster (high WPM) if you think you'll run out of time while doing both play-by-plays and analysis. Just watch Ascension, and there you'll find a perfect blend of commentary/analysis IMO, so it can evidently be done. Also, unless it's a ridiculously action packed game, there should always be some downtime when both players are just macroing/expanding where you can do plenty of analysis. Even if you decide not to do general play-by-plays throughout, I think when something potentially game changing happens you should always try to add emotion + play-by-plays, which would further emphasize the importance of what's happening to the viewer.

lol, yeah, I've found that since I've done more of it, I've found more to say, so I end up talking faster to get it all out..

I was actually impressed things went so smoothly between you guys, not talking over each other much at all. To answer your question, we've been experimenting with systems for when there's three of us. We tried having one "main" person (we'd switch every game) who would ask questions to pass things off to the other two and who had "interrupting rights" to call play by play if something happened. This kept things pretty organized, but some people said the questions interrupted the flow (which may not be as much of a problem for you guys). So lately we've been doing a 'round robin' style which has worked pretty well. I.e... commentator #1 talks, then commentator #2 talks, then #3, then 1, 2, etc... trying to keep the thoughts short and move on, only interrupting if the person talking has missed something major.
With two it's a lot easier because then, yeah, you can just start talking when the other guy stops. Piece of cake.

Anyways... I don't think you need to do dramatic play by play, but I you can still sound emotionally invested in your analysis. Just as a rhetorical example.... Instead of saying "OMG OMG the hydras get stormed!!!1" you can still be excited and say "OMG if he loses this battle he doesn't have enough hatcheries to rebuild his army fast enough!" Or instead of "Wow that was amazing micro!" you could say "Wow, if he hadn't D matrixed his vessels he'd be way too low on vessels right now".. or something. Then you're not reading the screen, as you say, and you're giving game analysis, but in an exciting manner. Analyzing the urgency of the situation, I guess... I think that's the way to satisfy "both groups."

As for forcing excitement, yeah, you don't want to sound forced... but I think that sometimes forcing yourself a little can at least help you open up a little bit so you will be more natural in the future. Honestly I think it just has to do with practicing enough to become comfortable talking and letting yourself go a little while doing so... I used to have to force it a lot more and that's the only reason I can see that I've gotten better at being natural. Over the course of Ascension, for instance, Artosis has opened up a little more every week and now he's pretty exciting to listen to.

Also... jokes are good. You could phrase your analysis comically... just an idea.

Game 3 is online, btw.

i really think that some more play-by-play should have been added. of course, the entire thing shouldn't be "ok now he's doing this... and then this... now this..."

but even when you watch the korean commentators there is one of them in charge of stating the things on the screen (usually the one who gets all excited)

Hey, I found these commentaries very entertaining and enjoyable. For different reasons than the other commentaries by klaz, moletrap, etc. Their commentaries are more social and enthusiastic but yours is more technical.

I do have some suggestions for you though, and its not be more enthusiastic, I'm not even sure if that could work combined with technical analysis. As experts you guys give us alot of information, such as. "On this map, there is very little divergence. The players will go straight for muta and goliath with drop." (from http://youtube.com/watch?v=RLSni3iR7hA) This is very interesting, but people such as myself want to know more. I would like you to tell me why. Why is this strategy the best? What happens if the team had chosen a protoss instead? Did the pros always use this strategy, or what were some strategies that are now obsolete? This might be commonsense to you guys, but to I think alot of us are wondering those things. I don't mean for you to answer those questions now. Just try to keep an open mind to what those less knowledgeable than you are wondering and do more explanation of "why" when you do future commentaries - of which I hope to hear many more of.

Good luck,
flag

PS I originally meant to post this on youtube, but limit of 500 characters, then I found this topic with a ton of post, I hope you guys see it, and I apologize if this stuff has already been said in the first 10+ pages of comments.

Good post. For a first effort I think it was great. I'm way more interested in solid strategic analysis than the poor speculations and overly enthusiastic style that seems to be rampant in all of the other English language commentaries except for Artosis on Ascension.

I sincerely hope ya'll will do more of these in the future, and am confident that a good number (if not a majority) of TL members prefer the knowledgeable and thoughtful style that you're going for.

I watched it last night but completely forgot to post. It was really nice hearing your collective insight. It was also kinda interesting because I downloaded the mbc vods, so the differences in what the cameras showed on the different channels became pretty apparent. There were some major things that you guys talked about that I didn't see, or things that I saw that you guys didn't comment on.

Hi. Just wanted to bump this to let people know we will be casting the Proleague Grand Finals on Saturday the 16th Korean time (Friday the 15th night North American time).

I've already gone through and read all the comments left in this thread, in PMs and on Youtube; however, if you have any further suggestions please post them here.

All the players from the past cast will be back: Hot_Bid, GTR-2-Go, Kennigit and myself. R1CH will be broadcasting the feed with a 1000 user limit this time (Hoho so get on early before those fill up quickly). We may be bringing on other casters to fill in the gaps in our commentary, and to help with their expertise during down time between games - It's something we're still looking into.

We'll be putting forth some more effort into improving and preparing, so again, if you have any suggestions, technical or personal, please post them here.

Thanks, and hope you tune in.
