That's pretty fucking stupid. Just do your fucking job and let some other casters in the limelight for a FEW god damn matches, it's only the prelims anyway.
Seriously, I hate tobi for this. "We aren't allowed to" SO WTF DOES HE DO? HE JUST GOES AND DOES IT?? Yet they can't fire him cause of the outrage it would cost for such a big tournament. Anyone else would get fired.

Tobi is the biggest Na'vi fan boy of the century. He was pretty butthurt when iG absolutely crushed them.
Meanwhile, coL is the biggest surprise of the tournament so far. Although they are a solid team, they have really proven that they have come prepared. Although I don't think they'll be beating any of the top 3 Chinese teams, I do think a top 5 finish isn't out of the question.

Let's worry about that after they beat Zenith.
TBH I'd rather be 3rd seed group B than 2nd. If Zenith brings their A-game, they'll be a tougher opponent than DK.
Unfortunately, nobody can really "lock" 3rd seed, given the big clusterfuck of teams that are 6-6 right now.

Nah; unless Super/ROTK throw really hard it's not happening. DK is too solid on the teamwork front to lose to coL. The teams they've beaten are teams with either notoriously bad teamwork at times (Orange) or a team that basically outright threw on the pick screen (Hao on Sylla LOL).

Zenith is indeed going to be tough. But Zenith is also a contender for the title though I think they've sobered up now on being 'the team to beat' at TI 2.

I feel like one of the few people who actually doesn't like Tobi's casting. His personality and histrionics are just additional negatives on top of that.

He's actually not that good at it. He has questionable knowledge of the game despite watching so many games.

I think EHOME and DK are the two Chinese teams that have a bit of instability in their play. TongFu has surprised me but its mostly because I viewed them as 2nd tier before. So col beating DK wouldnt actually surprise me.

He doesn't agree with the matches he's been asked to cover, so rather than cover those matches, he's going to stream matches that other people are covering, leaving us without English-language commentary for the matches he was asked to do.
Tobi has always been about Tobi first and everyone else second if at all.
Wow, this sucks for the spectators...

What a douche tobi > <
Been watching Luminous all tourney long and it seems I should continue on that path for the rest of it.

Fcking butthurt if you asked me. Jeez, i was pretty pissed to see tobi and lumi casting the same game while leaving some other games had no english casting and i thought he didn't do it intentionally.

DK's lost only a handful of games, and that's mainly because Super/ROTK played extremely bad in those games.
EHOME is also a HELL of alot more unstable than DK.

Yeh initially he is good and I respect his enthusiasm...but the more I watch the more I disagree with his opinions and see his flaws. : (
He needs +1 pro player co casting.

There's no doubt that iG and LGD are the teams to beat.
Any team going against them will have to bring something special, as both have demonstrated their unwavering consistency and reliability in "standard" games. Unfortunately, having to show your special stuff in the early rounds just for the sake of not getting eliminated is fairly undesirable. Not to mention the possibility of iG and LGD still having their own secret stuff yet to be revealed.

When i see lumi and tobi casting the same game i will turn off tobi.

I agree that if zenith get their game on they can win this tourny. I think DK has been relying far too much on Burning thus far though. Going up against teams like iG and LGD with a strong 5 man lineup and talent I don't think that will work anymore.
