dApollo may be new to casting, but i think hes already pretty damn good. Casting is something that everyone has a different taste for. I really doubted i was going to like dApollo just because i like day9 so much, but i was pleasantly surprised at how easy on the ears his voice is, and he really seems to know the game pretty well. Maybe there is still room for others to constructively criticize, but it was a great relief to me to find that dApollo was a decent caster. I didnt want to sit through bad casting for those VODs. Thankfully dApollo is surprisingly decent and if he continues to cast from time to time he will only get better.

they don't really have to do a 50/50 split of talking time... kinda like in nba there is a play by play guy and there is a color guy... the color guy chips in once in awhile...

i think it'd be ideal for day9 to talk 70% of the time and d_apollo the rest 30%... just my personal opinion...

but anything with day9 > any other combo!

Felt like Day9 was talking a bit down to Apollo at times, like "uhu" "yeeeeah" "uhm" "ya".

Tho they did very good. Alot better than those two clowns commenting on the Quake Live game av3k vs calipt. They basically masturbated over anything av3k did, followed him 90% of the match and gave calipt about 1 minute all together on the cast. It was a total embarrassment.

Lol he actually does that everytime he has a cocaster, no matter who it is.

actually that is ideal by industry standard. As it is, day is a color commentator while dApollo is a play by play.

This is repeating what other people have already said but, I think apollo is doing fine, he is obviously more nervous than Day9 but he's better than plenty of other casters, and I'm sure he will settle into it. D9 is always good but it takes some time for a pair to find their "combination play", in JapaneseEnglish hehe.

They're doing great, hang in there boiz!

Just been watching some of today's (19th) cast. They're getting a bit better although in big battles they're still often shouting over each other. The rest of the time there's a pretty good balance. Just have to learn to contain the excitement sometimes and let the other caster speak if they've started first. Keep up the good job.

I think it's just as bad as yesterday. Day is a chatterbox, it's just what he is, he's great on his own but any cocaster is going to have to let him run the show, that's why he worked well with JP, because JP was passive and content to just get in a line or two wherever he could. Apollo is trying to cast like they are playing equal roles. There's nothing wrong with that, but Day is just not accustomed/good at it. The result is bad caster synergy. Can't blame anyone, they just don't work well together

this sums it up pretty well. apollo is doing fine when he's talking except minor mistakes, but both of them are trying to be the main caster.

As with most people around here, I find day[9] to be a god among men when it comes to commentating, so this commentating is working out pretty well for me. For someone who seems relatively new to commentating, certainly on this big of a scale, dApollo seems to be doing pretty well.

agree it might work better if they were paired with different people, together its a bit of a mess and often they will cheer and talk over one another which makes it hard to enjoy the flow of the game.

on some point I thought it was even worse...maybe because the games are better and both are therefore more excited (if this is even humanly possible)

one of them HAS to tune it down, otherwise the finals will be a pain

Big +1.

Day9 is God. I love seeing him in a foreign country going wild and creating a good atmosphere in the big area.

And the simple reason is that Day knows this game inside out. It's all about game/proscene knowledge. Apollo is obviously not as familiar with strats and players and so he has much less to say and therefore fills with babble.

i actually like them and have nothing bad to say except day9s "aha" or "uh-hu" sounds a little bit weird it sounds like he is marking apollo

Anyone else think that Day9 looks like Apollos dad? Everytime I see them it reminds me of my 10 year old cousin and his uncle.

First day was pretty awful.

apollo was butting in a lot, looking awkward and messing up. Probably nervous.

second day he was much much better and much easier to listen to.

Day9 was just in general pretty good on both days, trying to get the crowd involved and stuff.

Overall, day1 pretty average.

Day 2 more good than bad :D


I'll put it this way, i much prefer to see d9 and apollo there over HD and Husky.

I'd like to see Day9 by himself simply because he's at his best when he has to fill out everything by himself.

Apollo is sort of just in the way.
