I like that SNM knows a little bit about the backgrounds of a lot of the kespa players. Like he knows their Brood War history and random little things like nicknames they have/had and things like that. There are very few people who have that sort of knowledge, partially because not everybody followed BW, but mostly because there aren't many casters who know korean. Agree. I really enjoy his random BW history lessons. | ||

Then again I don't watch to listen to casters, I watch to see the games. Kinda like any other sport...... Because SPL is a big/important event, people wanted to have a pro casters. Like GSL S/A ones. Compare Tastosis or Wolf and Khaldor with SNM and Whiplash... And we've got amateur casters instead. For SPL. For example no one complained when IGN got some amateur casters to cast some of their events and even held a casters contest and let winners to cast some games on IPL5. There was too many games anyway and they only casted a few of those. ----- SNM really likes BW and doesn't like SC2. I got that much from time when he was a mod on Sea's stream (when Sea was in TL). So it's kinda "normal" that he lacks knowledge and passion when commenting SC2. And he also doesn't have anything else to compensate it. I mean take some well known caster for example, like TB. He doesn't know about game THAT much either, he's busy with other games, his youtube channel, other projects etc. But he can commentate very well (some may like him, some won't, ofc, but he's still proffesional caster). So in case with SNM...He doesn't have anything at all to be a good SC2 caster. Voice, diction, knowledge of the game, passion to cast SC2 games. Nothing at all. Plus as mentioned already, SNM and WP doesn't work very well together, so it only makes things worse. | ||
