I think it is great he could have this experience. He has a great story to tell. Obviously he is not a professional nor is he trying to be.

That being said, it was a SEMI FINALS. Seriously GOM, if you are going to be Blizzard's chosen ones, you need to do a better job than that.

knows a lot about starcraft?
when you make a comment like 'effort isn't really out there' (or whatever it was), you don't know starcraft progaming.

Personally my favorite part was when d.lee in the middle of a tense part in the game just goes "Sorry, I forgot your name...."
"Urrr... my names jessie"
then jessie was silent for a good 2 minutes, hahaha

I thought he was okay. He's not nearly as bad as some of tasteless's old co-casters from old WCG events. There were ysome casters worse than DJWheat.(No offence to wheat, he just doesnt know anything about starcraft)

This guy claims to play zerg, but later wonders if the players are trying to make their opponent's hatcheries more difficult to select. I ROFLed

wheat knew pretty much nothing about starcraft (he picked it up as they continued), but he did an absolutely amazing job considering what he had to offer. If I can't have tasteless/artosis casting an event, wheat/tasteless is probably one of my favorite alternatives

Does anyone know who he actually is? I mean i can think of 50000 people in korea who could have covered.

There was some Jason guy or something that previously filled in for Tasteless that did fine. Also, Susie still works for GOM I believe, and used to be a caster.

At least we will get good casting at Blizzcon, as I just read on wheats homepage.
8/21 ~ 8/22 – BlizzCon Stream w/ djWHEAT, Tasteless, & Artosis. As expected, but I'm very happy they got the three guys again

edit: If everyone knew this already, just ignore this post.

All things considered -- this guy did really good. Just picture yourself in his position, randomly being asked to commentate and agreeing to it even though you've got no experience.

I liked it.

I found it! I actually checked the original thread, caught a lot of the hate. Sorry for ruining the game for some of you guys. I'm not exactly a social person and I'm not used to public speaking. I admit that I can never fill SDM's or Tasteless' or really any of the other casters' shoes. Also, I am just a casual fan of starcraft. I enjoy watching the game, and I'm not really into the proscene, nor do I follow all of the leagues. (I'm a little more worried about doing a good job as a teacher.) A few months ago I took a serious go of getting good at it, and I played Terran for about a month on Bnet, trying builds, experimenting with macro/micro, all that stuff. I lost a lot of games, won a few, and basically decided that it was more fun to just keep it casual.

Just to set the record straight on what happened, I was in the studio minding my own business, and I was actually gonna make a sign that said "Token White Guy." I was doing that when SDM walks up to me and asks me if I wanna cast with him. Literally, he just asked me that; it was about as spontaneous as it can get. I did what any fan (including all of you HATERS ) would've done. Who wouldn't pass up an opportunity like that? They stuck me in the shirt, put me in the chair, and off we went. I know I'm not a funny person, so I was trying to focus more on explaining the game for more casual viewers (I learned most of what I know about starcraft pro gaming through GOM) based on my relatively limited experiences. I did not get paid, nor do I want to be. To me, it was merely a unique experience that's good for my personal development and an interesting story I can tell a few years down the road.

Now, for the people criticizing GOM: Was it professional? No. Having tried it once, I've decided that I suck at casting and that the viewers would have enjoyed SDM by himself more. Plus, I could've said no after all. I don't intend to do it again either, since I'm rather flustered at my performance. That said, come on. Tasteless is gonna be back next week for the third place game and for the finals, so nobody's future is gonna be ruined here. I'm gonna go on being my casual fan self and won't intrude on the casting anymore.

Assuming Jason Lee was busy or whatever....there's lots of ex-pros who speak fluent english like toad who would have legitimized the league even further. If he really was from the crowd that is a HUGE blunder lol....i can't imagine that is the case.

Lol!

Firstly -



There is video proof of him actually being at many, if not most, of the GomTV Season 3 games.

Secondly-



Artosis was at E-Stars with Tasteless. Hence the need for a replacement in the first place.

He must be blind then, since he didn't know effort.


A terrible cast. What this scrub was doing in the studio is beyond me. His humor was terrible and he knew less about the game than my little sister. Random C-class SC2GG commentators would have been better. Heck, I'd have prefered even a guy talking Korean while Daniel Lee was casting in English. It was actually so bad that I didn't watch most of it, I just had it running on the background and got the results, but the casting was so abysmal that I couldn't have cared less about the games. Maybe I should have muted.

Hmm? GTR trolling? You say you diden't even watch his first game and you think you can make assumptions about what this guy does or does not know?

Edit: And Konadora too? I thought you guys were against trolls.. He got very good after the game began, in my opinion, but you guys diden't even care to listen that far!

Guy made me watch WC3 instead of GOM, but tuned in for last game and it wasn't much better than at the beggining.People aren't trolling, they are saying the truth - he was clueless commentator who never should be allowed to commentate such important event, i dunno wtf was GOM thinking getting him, even as one-time replacement.

On July 29 2009 05:13 fusionsdf wrote:


That's GOM's fault, not the caster. Considering hes just some guy they grabbed from the audience who has only played a tiny bit I thought he did pretty good. He certainly did better than some of the youtube commentators, and they 1) dont have to go up infront of a bunch of fans in a studio, on their first cast, at a semi-finals, between two players who will generate a lot of interest, 2) have all the time in the world to practice, prepare and even edit it later on if they want to, 3) can select which casts they release.

I mean this guy was basically grabbed from the audience, given no time to prepare, in front of a huge live+internet audience and TV cameras on his first cast. I don't know if you watched some of tasteless' early solo GOM casts, but a couple of those got pretty painful too.

If you want to blame GOM for just grabbing some random guy to cast, go for it. But attacking a starcraft fan because they were invited to cast and did their best job is pretty pathetic.
