He's just not very good at his job. 50% of the time, what he says is flat wrong. The other 50% is uninteresting and/or reciting what's on the screen. ("And there are Cop and Elementz in the bottom lane" No shit, guy. Their names are floating above their heads. If you don't have anything useful to say, it's way better to just keep you gob shut.) And there's a 100% chance that he'll say it with a weird intonation that makes him sound like he's on the nightly news, wrapping up a report from the field. It feels like after every sentence, he's about to say, "From MLG Dallas, this is Rivington III for Riot News." It's not that I wish ill on the guy, but common, man. Take some pride in your work. You've been doing this for at least a year now, and it feels like you've gotten worse, not better. Go watch Day[9] and Artosis is you want to see how to inject intelligent analysis into a game. Go watch DJ Wheat if you want to see how to make a useful cast without being a top tier analyst. Just do something so I don't want to scratch out my earballs when you're casting a game. :-( | ||

I listen to them to make the match I'm watching more exciting and Rivington happens to be pretty good at this. It doesn't bother me in the slightest when someone gets a name or a minor fact wrong, I find it way more annoying when a caster takes 30 seconds to explain something super obvious (Tom and Quikshot generally do this). Of course I'd love it if more casters were as knowledgebale as Jatt or Kobe, but it's unfair to compare LoL to SC in this matter. The game is simply too new to have a pool of ex-pro & semipro players to draw casters from. | ||

KT B already impressing. GG looks a bit off from KT B's strats. However, very crisp from both teams so far, GG just a slight step behind. PS. WTF is this bias? Both foreign teams and GG gets such a higher cheer despite KT B's more innovative picks. Racism too strong =\. | ||
