dApollo
- chillax. i think you are trying too hard to be animated and its coming across awkwardly.
- You are talking all over day9 during battles and its making the stream audio explode.

Day[9]
Talking too much and creating this situation where dapollo has to force his way in.

I think you'll probably find a groove once you cast more together, but those are just my immediate thoughts from the first two sets.

I love you both. gl

Agreed on all points. Play off each other instead of over each other! Other than that, solid casting

They are getting better as the stream goes on. I don't know if they've casted together before but it must take a while to get into a groove.

Agree with everything said. They should take turns talking instead of talking over eachother sometimes

Definitely think dApollo doing a very good job though doesn't seem anywhere near as awkward as other co-casters. Doesn't just let the main guy walk all over him so to say. Very refreshing to hear english accents for once as well, first demuslim and now apollo!

I agree too. Those two guys will probably get better as things go along. I can already hear them improving.

Usually in announcing, there's a play-by-play guy that gets excited for action and a strategy and tactics guy for filling in and explaining the build up. The play-by-play guy has license to ask questions of the strategic guy and talk over the other guy when action happens.

Maybe they could work on their division of labor?

Cast was good, but I turned of the stream after 5 minutes, the quality is just BS!

They're both excellent -- I like dApollo more than pretty much every other caster Day has commentated with. It's nice to have two people that are so animated, yet so knowledgeable. It creates the same sort of atmosphere that you feel with the Korean commentators, which IMO is something that english commentators haven't properly captured yet.

They're definitely improving as time goes on, and by the time the tournament climaxes I think these two will be a force to be reckoned with.

You guys are talking so much, I'm worried about your voices on the last day. :O

I think you guys are doing pretty well though, besides the nerves. More than anything, the technical people need to get their shit together and stop the lag.

3 EUROS!!!

Havent really heard Apollo commentate before.
Just seen him theorycrafting in Artosis videos.
He performed better than expected, tho he kinda had to force his way into the conversation as mentioned above.

Day9 got some insight into what is going on.

Apollo is just repeating what Day9 is saying and then saying what he is seeing.

Find a way to replace the German guy who does the interviews in between matches.

Apollo is doing alright. He's pretty new to the game and so he doesn't really have much to add that Day isnt going to cover himself. It's hard but I think anyone who casts with Day has to take a backseat because he just talks so much, it's what he does.

Also he needs to learn to sit still

seemed really good but I think they both need to relax a little bit, it's kind of jarring to hear so much shouting and enthusiasm over everything. but i guess thats why they're called shoutcasters. meh
