you guys forget Day9 brings the sauce

you can really feel that day9 is more used to casting alone and that he loves to talk

but please, try to say less OH MY GOD and talk over eachother

I thought they both did a great job. I'm at work and could only listen to the commentary but not watch the actual games, and they did a great job at describing everything I needed to know

apollo seems like he knows a lot more about the scene than 90% of other casters. Anyone know background on him? Has he done casting before for other games? And how experienced is he with sc2?

great job with the casting both of you, Day 2 was even better then day1(less interrupting/ talking over eachother)

keep it up. I only wish ESL had better VODs so I could catch the games I missed

Saw those two "live" today(Dimaga vs HasuObs Series) and to me they worked out quite well as a duo. But I haven't seen the other casts yet, dunno how much they evolved

The casting has been pretty good, but the main thing that's been bugging me about the cast is the inclusion of personal feelings, it just seems unprofessional.

It's perfectly fine to speculate on what build someone is doing etc, but I don't think you should be commenting on how you dislike a build or a way a player is playing in a professional event.

And is the german guy doing the interviews like the worst or what? I feel like he just keep offending losers on their play.

haha "Well I'm really sorry but (winner) played really great - tell me how you feel about losing." As far as casting though, Day and Apollo are doing great but one thing that is pretty consistent and irritating is the amount of talking over each other whenever a battle is taking place. I'm enjoying the entire show very much regardless.

The interviewer is hilarious, I go from hating him to loving him, his lack of subtlety makes me both laugh and cringe at the same time. The line after the Lucifron vs Hasuobs match, something like "even though one of you is the winner you're actually both losers" was priceless.

Very high standard of commentary from both Day9 and Apollo, except when they're talking over each other.

Today was much better than yesterday.
Really good job apollo and Day9.

Thanks for the nice show.

Edit: The german guy just doesnt know the english language, so most of what he says sounds offensive.

First day was bad, and apollo dude sounded nervous, second day he was fine. Day9 was acting like a boss as usual.

D'appolo totally owned Day today in the Idra v Demuslim game 1. D'appolo called reapers with speed and Day was like stfu noob, it's a fast factory. But D'appolo was right and Day was like, "damn, I was owned."

If you call something so trivial as mispredicting factory or reapers as owned than sure. To be honest though, I like day9 more than apollo, but both are great and work fine together, people are overplaying the problems between them, I'd like to hear day9 more than apollo, but that's merely preference.

German interviewer just doesn't know English well, I mean he means well, and you can tell he does, he seems like a pretty nice guy overall, and people bashing him are just misinterpreting the way he is coming off, I'm pretty sure he doesn't know much about starcraft in general, but knows that terran imbalance is quite the talk, so he's trying to get the progamer feedback on it. Cut the guy some slack, sheesh.

It's the internet dude....owned is a common word.

But to be honest, Day is coming off as condescending in many of the games because he ignores whatever D'appolo says when it comes to opinionated insight.

Still would like Day[9] to stop every postgame analysis with "And that really goes to show that getting [insert random unit] at [insert random stage in the game] will have a..." etc. etc.

They're doing awesome though. Compared to what else is out there I love day's casting. Apollo, however, can become so excited that he talks way and stumbles over a lot of words forcing the audience to focus quite a lot to understand his points.

Other than that I love the fact that it's an american and a british guy casting :D

Not the biggest fan of Apollo. Just not... very interested in what he says? I think it's both because it's the first time I've seen his style/ possibly his first time casting and they don't seem to complement each other too well. Imo his casts with Cholera seemed to have the best mix of knowledge and relaxed enthusiasm. Kennigit was right on with possibly too much talking by the "technical" commentator.

Though really what matters is were they enjoyable to listen to?

Yes most definitely.

P.P.s.... I am really entertained by how blunt that german interviewer is. He ... I don't know if it is his command of english but the way he phrases his questions is hilllarrious.

Apollo: Stop saying the word 'so'. Everything does SO MUCH DAMAGE or is SO POWERFUL or is SO STRONG.

Day9: Stop saying obnoxious. Fuck.

I really like the casts and both are doing a great job. Yes, the first day they had to get used to each other and find the proper amount of talking, but second day was much better in this regard and I feel like Apollo does have a pretty good understanding of the game.
So, ppl pls relax and have a good time.
GO DAY9, GO APOLLO!
