Oh man do I enjoy Tobi singing. In fact, I just enjoy Tobi in general. Imo what a quality caster. I have not been following the dota scene for too long (since The International basically) but to me, he knows what is required of a caster and how to entertain an audience. One thing I really appreciate is that he makes a constant effort to cast with very knowledgeable and analytic casters to round out his broadcast. The man definitely helped me become a huge dota fan.

Tobi's knowledge of the game may not be the best, but he is a great shoutcaster and together with Synderen,Fear or Maelk he really makes excellent casting, a good balance between humor(sometimes akward, SEX FANTASIES ABOUT MARGE FROM THE SIMPSONS?) and analytical casting with the the aforementioned and some BLACK HOOOOOOOOLE on top of that.

humph. Tobi's gone up about a hundredfold in my estimations recently - making sensible calls, adding value to casts, seems like a good bloke, definitely passionate. Still needs a knowledgable co-caster, but he seems to just derp when solo casting way more. Understandable though.

Bastard isn't allowed to have a better voice than me though, that's just not cool.

I'm going to have to have plastic surgery, practice an australian accent, and then secretly take his life, in every sense of the words.

lol i just played one of the funniest games ive had in a while.
randomed furion, went midas -> threads -> agha. i had it at shortly after 20min but we were getting overrun.
2 basetowers down and way behind in kills.
then i bought a refresher, put wards in front of their basetowers and that was basically gg.
i doubt you can actually push against a furion with refresher. and refresher even refreshes midas.
just try it, its awesome.

Tobi and Synd/Maelk is quite enjoyable. If he tries to solo cast its still a trainwreck imo but he is improving.

The only reason they're still not amazing casts is because Tobi is controlling the camera.

Then you don't mind missing half the game. He spends the majority of his casting time looking at the gold graph, hovering over and reading out abilities and items that we can see the hero has, and watching the wrong parts of the map. He doesn't look at the minimap at all and is now using some stupid reactionary style of watching people's HP at the top so he can move the camera to them right after they die.

On the topic of tobi, I don't think he's a particularly good solo caster, but the casts with Synderen for instance are just amazing and he functions really well with an analytical co-commentator.

Yeah, he provides enthusiasm, they provide insight, and it seems to rub off both ways, somehow.

Seems like he'd be a decent addition to a pub trip too, which is about the highest praise an Englishman can give :p

This NaVi vs AL game on Tobi's stream is AMAZING. NON-STOP action, 2-3 people are almost always dead. This is a thing of beauty.

i have never been into the english dota scene back in the day... i found out about tobi at the international and read forums where people call him shits etc...

Watched the international.

First thing come to mind: holy shit why sc2 dont have a guy like this? He cast the way the korean BW commentator cast for years. The games even though need analysis, the most part its still a spectator sport. Fire and enthusiasm are needed inside a caster and tbh i have not seen such thing in any sc2 caster. May be once after the moletrap casting boxer nuke in the GSL but thats about it. Everyone think about sc2 as a calculated math game but in fact there are battle happens and screaming/ loud noises are needed to attract low level audience.
