EPTThey covered most of the stuff that was happening micro and macro wise, they both made some good insights and accurate guessing (what y should do now that x has done this).
But most importantly they made games more exiting to watch.

Qualifying a build as standard is a Day9 trademark. He does this for every player who doesn't pull-off something crazy. IdrA is also well known to have one single opener and sticking to it. If he ever opened with a 6-7 pool, you'd hear Shawn yell and drool all over the place.

They don't have anything to win by saying the player is a moron for sticking for his guns. In Day9's KotB tournament, Day9 qualified Dimaga's play as "disappointing" when he stuck with speedling/blings to break an apparently impenetrable protoss wall-in he repeatedly rammed his head against. He got quite shocked when half the protoss base blowed up.  | ||

I have to say I'm suprised they have dappolo doing this big of a tournament. I agree with what others said: day 9 does sound condescending when he mhm's and I think for good reason. Dappolo delivers in a crackly prepubescent squeal nothing that day hasn't already said or if he does it's often wrong/misinformed. You'll hear him repeating phrases that just don't fit and it makes it sound soo contrived. Overall it feels like what you'd get from an 8 year old trying to replicate a news anchor sitting in a cardboard box "tv" sorry if this sounds a bit harsh it's just making it tough to enjoy these vids. I daresay I might even prefer husky to dapollo O.O day9 you're still the man | ||

Cut the guy some slack, sheesh. He means well, but actually his german interviews sound quite the same. And his SC2 casts borderline painful IMO. I was so relieved when I heard they flew in the big guns to cast this tournament instead of letting ESL staff do it. | ||

This doesn't just apply to the casters though. I wish the players and the audience would be a little more animated as well. If you win a tough game, advancing to the semi finals, how about a shout and some fist pumping, and audience, let them hear it! | ||

The only thing I really heard that caught me kind of off guard from such a big tourny was appolo's use of the words "gay" and "rape". Now I understand hes a gamer and all of us for the most part say these words when referring to some kind of cheesy play or when talking about counters and what not. But I just felt like it was a little inappropriate for such a big event. edit: apollo says "straight away" too much XD | ||

He is either repeating things that Day9 says or is extremely vague. I also don't think he has a good casting voice. He stutters a lot and is too squeely. DJWheat/Day9 make a much better pair imo. Not only do they have great casting voices, but they fill proper roles. Wheat isn't an extremely analytical caster. He is basically the caster for the casual who will sometimes ask day questions. Day is the grizzled gamer vet who goes in depth and explains things. Apollo tries too hard to be analytical, when Day does 100x better job. | ||

day9 - great as always? I may be a little bias, as I am a huge day9 fanboy. | ||

 ) I would tell apollo and day9 to have a conversation with each other rather than describing every single thing that is happening. If it was radio I would want a play by play, but I can see what's happening on the screen since I do believe day9 is controlling the screen movement and he's great at that. Other than that little detail, I think both day and apollo are doing a awesome job together. It just keeps getting better.

At the same time though, it makes me chuckle. And I like to chuckle. | ||

I think you guys should make some sort of system to remedy this. Apollo talks for 30 seconds straight no matter what and then Day9 talks right after for 30 seconds straight no matter what. When something exciting happens whoever is not speaking at the moment of course can "OHHH!!!!!!" out of excitement but he ought to let the other person finish his 30 seconds. | ||
