Hey everyone,

I'm really burned out from jet lag right now and about to pass out, but I wanted to solicit some feedback from you guys about DoA and my first cast together. We are trying to brainstorm ideas about how to develop our casting pairing in the future, so any thoughtful critiques are highly appreciated. Thanks!

My main point is that you speak for a very long time and not giving your co-caster time to join in. This is something that I find very common among casters (not a LoL-only thing) and it makes it feel more like two solo-casters instead of a duo/team. And then there is my usual critique that casters do not talk enough about items, especially during the early game (more specific, why did the Support start with Charm/Boots/No item/Pink ward/X number of wards?).

Otherwise, besides DoA lacking knowledge, which I view as something that will come with time, I enjoyed the cast.

Personally I think you need to improve on play by play during team fights. Focus on something specific that's happening on the screen and go with it. I noticed in team fights you guys weren't saying much or just saying that guy died or he's low. Describe how we got to that and not just the result.

Anyway, Iooking forward for tomorrow, I'm sure you guys are going to get really good with time.

I enjoyed the casts! I would say that it might help to more fully take on the role of analytical caster and play-by-play commentator for yourself and Doa respectively. That way you guys can play off of each other more and not compete for speaking space, and you definitely can get more in depth because Doa can ask specific questions for you.

That was Garimto, OSL champ, famed Protoss player, and doublelift's #1 fan

I hadn't heard anything about MidKing being the son of an actor, but one of IM's other players, Livy, is the son of Cha Seung-won.
