I think it has to do a lot with their team makeup. I mean, having morphling, invoker, chen... pushing power of brood. Such a solid pick.

i swear to god sheever is actually understand what going on in the game.... even Kennigit who doesnt watch dota often knows these 2 guys suck... he tweet last night lol

It`s like Totalbiscuit. Some people can`t like him because he doesn`t understand much about the game, but some people don`t mind. I personally don`t care that much about about it. Excitment and a smooth cast are more important, personally. Unless it`s someone like a pro or one of the very few great analytical casters, they won`t really blow your mind anyway,

Teams really need to stop being so manly and letting Morph get through. Yeah you can argue there are other carries similar to him, but none as effective. Antimage is nothing until BF or Manta. Morph is a walking god from level 1.

to ban morph you gotta let somebody else through though, and with DS, Lycan, and Naga in the pool most teams are basically accepting morph as the lesser evil.

I like TB for what he has done for esports but cmon, ayesee is constantly saying different phrases regarding itens and strategies, even if he gets it wrong sometimes, that much is enough proof that he understands more about dota than tb knows sc2.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Yeah, not every team can shut-down naga like Na'Vi.

if you by pass sheever accent, she actually does some decent analysis about the game which was the result of her obsing IH training of top pro-teams using Gosugamer connection. She isnt a play by play caster if that is what you are looking for. Ayesee has a natural voice for broadcasting but if you wana be a dota caster may as well try to understand tha game a bit... 2 months ago he doesnt even know 90% of the spell names in dota2.

also, what i look into in order to judge a play by play caster is their passion. If V1at or tobi see a PoTM arrow, they gona scream on top of their tounge while these guys pretty much just let it go (watch itgosu monthly madness)... passion > all

It`s not a perfect analogy, but it`s the same idea overall. There are other commentators that don`t say stupid stuff like believing Morph was dead after losing the aegis right now, but Aysee`s voice is just amazing. I don`t mind him, but I can see how some people do.
