Of course not! Why would it be unfair?

Contest is open to anyone, aside from the four TSL commentators.


Diggity means that since has been commentating for a long time and has amassed a large fanbase during that span, it would be unfair for someone with his experience to enter this contest which is primarily directed at "amateurs." To give an example, it would not be fair for estro_sea.really to play in TSL since his superior terran skills would destroy the competitive spirit of the tournament.

I personally vote no since Diggity is already leaps and bounds ahead of any English commentator out there today (yes that includes tasteless and day9), though that is only my humble opinion. Nonetheless good luck Diggity and looking forward to your MSL commentaries!

You can feel free to vote for Diggity if/when he enters then

Not sure how everyone thinks that day9 commentating is good. His tips might be good but the way he comments is utterly unprofessional, ie. making fun of players, making rude and cruel jokes, bashing them, turning camera in the middle to feature his face, offering biased viewpoints, blah blah. Jeez, can't stand it.

For example, Olympics games's commentators are very professional, offering unbiased views, and never do any of such childish acts.

Another example is that when Tasteless and/or Artosis were commentating GOMTV games, they were very professional. Imagine if they make childish jokes, they would never get hired in the first place.

He's entertaining. Isn't that the number one thing that casual viewers like us want? He might not be professional, but he makes good points on stream, is helpful, and is a pleasure to watch day in and day out.

He can turn on and off the professionalism as needed. I doubt he's only capable of casting when making random references to bear semen.

Tasteless made jokes about monkey breast milk, i doubt that's "professional" in your view, but it is entertaining, and the rest is informative, putting day 9 and tasteless leagues ahead of most commentators out there.

also why shouldn't diggity be able to join, he isn't a tsl commentator and his commentary might be one i'd like to listen to.

A non-professional commentator doing a non-professional program in a non-professional fashion? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.

Also, I'm not sure if you've ever listened to a GOMTV game casted by Tasteless. Your claim that he never makes "childish jokes" makes me think you haven't.

I'd assume yes but that makes the prize tricky if there is more than one tl user!

Mod answer?

I know that the Iccup forums is filled with "skilless fucking newbies" but I made this thread about a month ago. It's about favorite amateur commentator.

http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/forum/general_forum/general_discussion_/86974/page1.html

Im really surprised Diggity didn't get that many votes.

This contest will be great and Diggity should definitely participate.

There have been a good number of Collegiate Starleague casters, but Day9 is one of the few commentators who can acknowledge the amateur level of gameplay and then continue to respectfully commentate a game. I'd say that he's the most professional caster out there because of his ability to get people to enjoy the game at the most basic level, rather than bashing on tiny mistakes that Korean progamers would never make.

If I weren't so bad at SC I would take up commentating again -_- blahh

Why is it that every time someone drops the word "commentator" a bunch of 5-post people crawl out of the woodwork to profess their love for Diggity/Moletrap/Klazart and the likes and compare them to awesome casters like Day[9]. -_-
