In sc2 there are the tabs that tell you everything that is happening but not for bw. Lets say a Protoss player crushes a Zerg push and is heading towards the Zergs base and all seems lost when all of a sudden 15 ultralisks suddenly pop at the last second and roll the Protoss army over. Extremely more exciting then seeing 15 ultras in production and saying "oh when those pop the Protoss army is screwed." When you know whats going to happen before it does it takes away from the spectating experience as opposed to thinking you know whats going to happen based on what you see and then something huge occurs that completely changes the tide of the game. Sometimes less is more. | ||

Sometimes less is more. I'm not a good poker player. So for me it's only exciting when the moderator is good, but when he is, without seeing the cards it's way better. I mean, when you see the cards the moderator can talk about what the player is displaying and could have as much as he wants, but if you don't see them, it's amazing to hear the insight of good poker players and what goes through their heads in such moments. | ||

Hah yeah I feel ya. For someone who doesn't have a lot of in depth knowledge about poker, seeing the cards is probably more entertaining for most. I like poker but my I don't have tip top knowledge but trying to get inside the players heads was still fun ^^ I had never spectated poker without seeing the hands before so that made it more exciting to me. | ||

Sometimes less is more. yea, all of a sudden a huge bet pops out, and you wonder if he is bitting a shit hand or wants to get something out of his likely winning hand. and you have noooo idea and will never have. that's like 10 collosi pop out and the other guy leaves the game, and you will never know if they were illusions (hi idra). extremely unsatisfying. while i agree that guessing yourself (or the moderators) is quite nice, you should still have a conclusion after all, that is not only based on bitting behaviour and number of played hands. that's like only knowing the map and the likeliness of a player going for all-in strategies. | ||
