Established commentators will certainly have an advantage. Not just from the point of experience, but also due to their established fanbases (see "Klazart Authonomy controversy" for reference). Still, knowing Diggity, he will produce a commentary that can win the contest on it`s own merit just fine.  | ||

I still dislike the entire "this commentator is better than that commentator" discussion. It is an opinion and like all opinions it is exposed to a variety of factors that generate bias. To flush this out a bit, the core bias I see on a regular basis is the player versus the spectator. If you play a ton of starcraft you usually don't view the games to be entertained. You view the games to copy builds and improve your play. For these viewers Day9 is by far the best caster since he is casting from an entirely technical perspective. I would expect the majority of active TL users to prefer day9 since they are looking for ways to improve their game. The spectator on the other hand generally isn't interested in technical details. Spectators are more interested in whether or not Flash will beat Jaedong or if Boxer will ever return to a finals match. In principle its the same reason I want G5 to win the TSL. G5 is a friend (how can I not root for a friend) G5 is American (so I am GO USA) G5 is awesome (how can you not root for an awesome guy). There is nothing morally reprehensible about rooting for someone else, you will just be wrong. Also oranges are way better than bananas. | ||

Hmm, I think there are plenty of people on TL don't play SC (anymore). For example I pretty much stopped playing SC years ago and even when I played I never played really competitively. And I still prefer technical commentaries by far. Agreed on oranges tho! :p | ||

How can you possibly not agree with me about the fact that Day[9] has more positive energy than you can imagine?Diggity is saying his audience is mostly people who watch starcraft for fun instead of watching to improve and learn all the technical details, which I agree. Day9 is ok but he doesn't provide the positive energy Diggity does and gets lost too much in the technical details. Getting lost because you don't understand it at all isn't the same as the commentator doing something wrong which Day does not. Most of Diggity's audience couldn't care less about the difference between a 6 pool and a 8 pool, they watch starcraft for the excitement and spectacle. Complete exaggeration... do you even watch starcraft? If you wanna know if Savior 8 pooled or not watch Day9, sorry to repeat but I feel most people aren't aware of the difference between the two group. Again your point is terrible. | ||

I don't know how many actual commentaries you've seen of day9.. don't confuse them with his 'Day9 Daylies' (or whatever he calls them). His commentary is just superior. The only thing that can tip the balance any other way is 'style'. If you find his rants/voice/jokes annoying then it's totally fine to prefer someone else. I'm telling people how they are allowed to think now.. lol.. awesome | ||
