So he becomes the nameless (well not so much anymore) guy that moves the screen we see and gets yelled at by the commentators if he's missing something crucial?

Hard to say. There are lot more qualifications to be a coach or a commentator other than being able to play starcraft really well. Or maybe the obs position is just going to be a segway into the latter (because they're already saturated with commentators).

Think there will be a lot of pressure when he has to keep the spectators interested when the game is a full head-on 10 minute macro fest or the always welcomed prolonged TvT matches.

it takes a decent amount of actual "ability". i was the obs for some big lan in war3 a while ago and since i was playing competitively at the time i would focus the camera only on things i thought were pertinent, but there were a lot of noobs there that didn't care about the builds and shit but cared more about watching units attack things which is dumb as shit. so in a way you need to figure out how to balance and prioritize what the audience wants to see with the mechanics of the match, etc.

Shows how much you know about the team you're rooting for (icon), rofl.

The other guy asking half the 2 liner OP was even more funnier

I still remember when HanBit made it to the SKY Round1 finals. Junwi's mother was a poor woman who owned a fruit stand and he was her only son. All she wanted was to see him win. Then she fell and had a bad injury to her head before the finals and have to go through brain surgery. Junwi was supposed to take time off, but instead he said that even though his mother will be laying down while the match is happening, he wants her to be able to watch his game after she wakes up and see him win.

And then he raped the shit out of Kingdom

I never saw Junwi play, How good was he?

By the way, In my opinion I think being an observer must be really fucking hard in live matches... you are the one that is responsible for showing the most important part atm in the screen, is it the micro? the macro? multiple drops? etc

Tasteless talked several times in his casts for GOM about the commentators not being the guys who control the camera and that it's actually pretty hard to do it well.

I don't think it'd be possible for commentators to both commentate AND keep track of EVERYTHING going on in the game well enough to be able to constantly shuffle around and all that.

I actually figured out at some point that it wasn't the commentators whenever the observer would move away from something the commentators wanted to see. Like a drop at the base, the tech tree, or something.

i almost feel like being an observer is harder, you have to be able to find what the commentators are talking about without any warning, and also be able to find all of the action without randomly looking around the screen
