I'm hearing an increasing amount of people stating that Artosis is agreeing to much with Daniel Lee. I think some of this is a bit unavoidable given the fact that Daniel Lee just knows more and has a very strong personality. Despite this I often wonder why some people prefer to hear two people argue and disagree over rubbish rather than agree. Every show you watch you have people disagreeing over some contrived rubbish. It's like the producers know people like conflict and tell the commentators to create some kind of "The View" like dynamic simply because it's in vogue.

Perhaps Artosis should talk with Daniel about the fact that he agrees to much with him, and decide they want to develop some kind of Siskel & Ebert dynamic where both will adopt diametrically opposed inane positions simply for the sake of discourse and ratings.

Artosis could also take a page from the gymnastics caster trio of Tim Daggett, Elfi Schlegel, and Al Trautwig. Tim and Elfi are past pros, while Al plays the outsider depending on Tim's and Elfi's often flawed commentary for guidance, while dealing with the personal stories of the gymnasts lives.

Hell, seems people can't appreciate a good thing, and prefer to listen to a sexy voice, totally biased, and inaccurate commentary, like we already have in droves on some websites.

For me, personally, it's not the fact that he agrees. It's the fact he always says something needless like "I gotta agree with you there" or "Yeah, you're absolutely right about that". And I don't think it's a big enough thing to drag the commentary down.

I think Artosis is doing a great job, but he just isn't as captivating as Tasteless or Daniel Lee. I like a commentator that can make me laugh as well as enhance the viewing of the game. His technical knowledge is very high though, and I enjoy listening.

I think it's better for every commentator to have its own role and style. By the way I'd rather prefer a commentator that focuses all the time on the strategy and the players than one who jokes too much. I'm not too much of a fan of jokes though, and when I'm watching Starcraft I just like to focus on the indepth of the game rather than hearing a semi-fun almost obvious joke on the units.
