I honestly think that for a league as good as this, they should seriously bring in some good casters... One big reason to enjoy (tastosis) GSL above SPL | ||

Even for such a prestigious league, they seem to have an observer that doesn't seem to have much experience with observing. What happened to their BW observers? Or are these the same observers (who haven't really adjusted to the SCII interface)? I feel like the kid that I was that missed a broadcast of X-men because of church every single time the observer misses these important climactic battles. | ||

As it happens to be, a majority of people do not have a very positive opinion of their work, so of course a lot of criticism is voiced. If you want to forbid criticism, then this shouldn't be a feedback thread but a fan club thread. If you don't like to read criticism you can just avoid reading this kind of thread or actually open a fan club for them. Deal with it. I dont want any god damn fanclub. Its just that people just say "They're bad" and thats it. No FEEDBACK at all. Just stupid to go out and say its bad when you dont have anything else to add. | ||

More on topic: Whiplash and SNM have made great improvement in their casting. I admit sometimes the humor is hit and miss, but they certainly have a solid grasp of the game, the casting itself just needs a bit of refinement (which can only come with passion and practice). I anxiously await to see what 2013 holds for them and for PL in general! | ||

What was the reason they got rid of Bitter/TB? It was a test cast while they were looking for a more permanent set of casters. After all, you can't really expect guys like TotalBiscuit and MrBitter to show up every single time because the former runs a team and the latter already has a stable job at NASL. | ||

Maybe at the last minute there aren't many people. But otherwise for the darn proleague there should be someone decent casters. Where does the Artosis, Tasteless, Khaldor and Wolf come from? If proleague pays nothing compared to GOMTv it is another problem but if we had 4 very competent casters that moved or were in Korea to cast a pretigous korean league, there should be one or two more. It is more demanding than the GSL but when you see Khaldor casting non stop you think it must be doable. Even if you only find someone half as good, it'll be a huge improvement. | ||

So many times i find myself knowing exactly what a player is up to just to have to caster say something that doesnt make any sense... then the player ends up proving me right and them wrong and Im like ahhhhhhhhh fk this shit LOL. I know its hard to be an Artosis or a Apollo. but its PRO LEAGUE. I expect the caster to explain to us how they think a player should react from scouting certain things. I want them to tell us WHY that player took that decision instead of another. I want them to know what other options he could have taken. I want them to tell us exactly what build a player is up to. Idk maybe im too harsh, Im sure casual players can enjoy their cast, they are great guys that love their jobs.. but.... too hard for me to watch . I seriously think i could do a better job ( sorry... | ||

Im sure they are great ppl... but maybe they should try to play a few thousand games at high masters+ level so that they can understand the decision makings, mind games, and also predict the outcome of engagements and games better.
