I hope Best though. I would say Best and Last. Best looked phenomenal as of late and Last seems to have finally found his groove in online matches. | ||

That's why I don't like the noregret combo. This is exactly what was going through my head when I watched. Rapid and NoRegret = absolute horse sht I don't know who the fool is that allowed that to happen. It's like dumb and dumber bw style and ruins the ro16 in a major tournament. When Rapid was with Artosis I thought he did a great job, so did many others. When Rapid read the comments he probably let it get to his head and totally reverted back to disaster caster with NoRegret. No offense to NoRegret but he doesn't have anywhere near the background required to be able to cast BW. Whoever thought those two could properly cast BW must know about as much BW as they do. They each need a someone to babysit them and provide technical insight while they just blab about nonsense so Artosis or Tasteless can wet their whistle and jump back in. PLEASE TASTOSIS FROM HERE ON OUT!! User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Reason: You were previously banned for a week because you were needlessly bashing on the BW casters without providing constructive criticism. And yet, you just went and did it again... Take some more time off. Do not attempt to circumvent this ban by making a new account, or your ban duration will be increased. This guy is making himself angry with the conversations he's having inside his own head and taking it out on others. Thanks for killing the activity on this thread "moderator" you're contributing a lot to the game by doing so. A simple warning and I wouldn't have ever caused any more issues. If you didn't save so much time by not showering you would probably make an effort to find better things to do with your free time.... #virginlife | ||

Now, this might be an extreme way of thinking but expert commentators/casters should be navigating through whats happening in a game with words and analysis so that even a blind person can listen, understand whats going on in the game and enjoy brood war just like anyone else without having to miss a single beat. Think about it, you never hear a sports commentator in for example soccer come up with jokes or comments that doesnt have anything to do with the current game under any circumstances. Things that don't add value to the game or the players of the game shouldn't be added at all. If you want to be a stand up comedian, be my guest and do your witty comments and jokes at a stand up gig where people want to hear them. Want to talk about Starcraft 2? Save that for a SC2 audience. But leave that out of any Brood War cast whether it is ASL in Korea or any foreigner league/tournament. Keep in mind that someone who can't see would like to hear whats happening and how you as an expert commentator conceive the game from the beginning until the end without having to hear a sudden rant about something completely offtopic for 2 minutes just because you feel like it or find it funny. It is not appropriate at all. The majority of people that view Brood War casts wants to hear you talk only about Brood War and what's going on in the current game, nothing else. Otherwise we would be watching Starcraft 2 or George Carlin instead already. The numbers speak for themselves, if you are going to cast anything as a profession you should pay homage to the scene and community and already have studied the game and have knowledge about it inside out. Especially when it comes to a game like Brood War 'cause having someone to cast a complex game like this without knowing what they are talking about can be very confusing and misleading. With that being said I vote for Nyoken to the ASL as a caster! | ||

Can't win em all, but Tastosis was sorely missing this week. | ||

Unfortunately, Rapid is just agonizing as a caster. It's bad enough that he knows very little about BW, but he also has very limited strategic acumen. We don't all have to be former B- iCCup players or whatever, but Rapid pretty clearly could never have gotten there no matter how hard he tried. NoRegret consistently points out stuff based purely off his intuition, like certain trades being good, positioning observations, etc., that are way more accurate and insightful than Rapid. To make matters worse, Rapid frequently gets caught up in streams of consciousness while missing important stuff which then impedes subsequent casting because he wasn't paying attention when some building got built or some other major event occurred. I actually think it'd be really interesting to have NoRegret paired with Artosis or Tasteless. The combination of NoRegret having good strategic intuition but knowing relatively little BW, with Artosis / Tasteless' knowledge and experience, could make for a cool dynamic of seeing a strong SC2 player learn BW on the fly. Overall Artosis + anyone (even Rapid) can work, because Artosis is just by far the best player out of all the casters, and when you have someone who's a reasonably high level player it makes such a difference. I don't know if Tasteless could carry Rapid, but in spite of Tasteless' rough edges and occasionally comical errors (7 minerals per harvest haha), he's a lot of fun and just has a charm to his casting you can't teach. | ||
