Also, I noticed that sometimes you miss things that are on the corner of the screen you are looking at - a few times you had a dropship or shuttle in sight (like, on your main screen) but were saying that you think it died/can't find it. Slow down and take your time, look around and such (: | ||

Slow down and take your time, look around and such (: Its actually pretty difficult to cast and obs at the same time. To achieve maximum efficiency, casting and obsing will have to be done by separate people. Which is why the Koreans commentators do not control the observing. Doing both by yourself, you'll need to be really pro. | ||

Slow down and take your time, look around and such (: Yes, constantly look at the minimap and go for the moving dots or the colored dots that shouldn't be there (harass and drops). Keep moving around, even if it's for a second, you can actually spot that there is a drop while there is a big engagement, just spot the drop and comeback on the main point, it shows the audience what's going on. This is a small suggestions that makes a lot difference  I like the way you talk and you express yourself, I really have nothing to say about that. (I liked the comparison to Fantasy haha )Keep going, you're doing an awesome job. @Rlentless Oh I see, never thought about that, I'm not a caster myself so I wasn't sure. | ||

Which is why the Koreans commentators do not control the observing. Doing both by yourself, you'll need to be really pro. This is true, not everyone sees everything, even the Korean obs. I think in-game skill helps a lot though, as your peripheral (sorta) vision widens and so does your minimap awareness. EDIT: I think at the amateur level, having the duties split actually makes things close to impossible because of stream lag and the fact that two people do not share the same vision in this game. In other words, the person moving the screen around isn't synched with what the commentator is saying and vice versa. Also, obsing a game for commentary is totally different from obsing for yourself. So basically, I think that the best way is for one person to do it, but that person needs feedback like this to improve, no? | ||

Straight vicous in game two. Awesome play from Masssssss in that game as well. Yeah Masssssss did played real well in game 2. Props to him, it was very cool playing against this guy. | ||

And as you said numerous times, his mid-game is weaker since he's throwing a lot in his early game so that's where I needed to do something but in game 2 he defended pretty well so it came to the late game where he pushed me to the verge of losing but I knew I had to harass more if I wanted to win. I love vultures He has sick muta control too :O Edit: Oh and by the way, the bunker cancelling in game 4 was intended, I usually do that when I see an allin since even with a bunker, he'll just run-by and you gotta unload your marines while he's harassing your mineral line. I pretty much always do that. Why would you recommend me to keep my bunker? You think it is ok if I keep building it and block the ramp with more scvs so he doesn't go in my base? I'm not too sure tbh but your reaction surprised me so I would like to hear your point of view. | ||

At the time I just thought youd misclicked or were indecisive and had cost yourself the game potentially, but then I saw your plan. | ||

Your commentating is good and informative although you miss out some action on the map and that is forgiveable because commentating and observing in the game is no easy job . Looking forward to more show matches and vods casted by you . TheShimmy fighting !. Seconded. Great effort, on this and setting up the college league | ||

The guy was a genius, and really helped me pull it off despite my terrible ZvZ. Glad it was fun to watch. Also have to thank Obe for playing ZvZ and getting 10 hatch ling-all-inned by me over and over, lololololol. | ||
