American caster, done smaller things for quite a while.
He's not bad. He's alright - he did cocasting for American dota league. (As if you would have watched that). I watched 10 minutes of it, then realized I don't even like watching the good American teams, so why would I watch the bad ones -.-

This is exactly what we needed from you, a talk show with purge and tobi that lots and lots of people will surely watch, like your other 'shows'. /cynicism off. I mean, I'd watch for Tobi and Purge. But, that's probably it. gamburger spotted. maybe I'm in the minority but I don't think I'd voluntarily watch anything Purge does. I don't find him particularly knowledgeable or enjoyable. I really don't know what he brings to the table to be quite frank. He seems nice enough but you have to be funny, exciting, or an expert in some aspect of the game. I'm not sure which of those you'd use to describe him but I wouldn't use any. I like Purge when he's with Blitz. Otherwise he's just extremely dry.
I get why he's popular though, I'm guessing it's mostly among newer players.
(there was some thread a while ago on Reddit where someone was whining about people like LD trying to do analysis when they should let the pro's like Purge do it. Which shows how much the general public really know, so I guess 'expert analysis' means different things to different people.)

I dunno i'm excited for it. working with ADL casters means they might work with ADL to run a league. which is very cool.
Also looking forward to see if tomorrow slasher and wheat have a Live on TI3. and if they discuss this.

His thing with TB that they did recently is pretty entertaining.

Someone on IRC made an analogy that he's kind of like Husky for Dota. I guess that makes sense as to why I never watch his content or care about what he does. I'm not really in his demographic. I guess they want him on the show for the 'husky' effect and his 'big' youtube channel.

Husky's a bit more personality though. I really haven't watched much of what he's done, especially because I DON'T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE WHO SCREAM ALL THE TIME.On July 31 2013 06:07 PrinceXizor wrote:Show nested quote +On July 31 2013 05:52 crms wrote:Adam Contini @MLGshmegegge 18m MLG starts covering DOTA 2 tomorrow!

Yeah that's what I said on IRC. That Husky is energetic, entertaining etc., Purge is extremely dry, monotone etc. but in terms of 'goals' to educated/bring in new players they are similar. Pretty much polar opposites in 'stage presence' though.

To me Purge and NYJohn are both quite 'MLG'ish. Not what I like to watch, but it fits their image.

nyjohn is actually pretty garbage if you actually listen to him
building assault cuirass on anti mage and whatnot

Yeah the few times I listened to his cast he was fine. Give the man a chance.

I thought it was Puppey who wore socks with sandals, and Synderen criticized him for it.
