IMO Day commented pretty well, you could hear some of the 'Tasteless enthousiasm' throughout the cast (NOO NOO NOOOO NOT THE SHUTTLE), but I really didn't like his volume/soundquality at all.
Artosis sounded very clear, but Day sounded pretty muffled, and sometimes his mic cracked/gave off some static it seemed.

Apart from that he seemed very knowlegable, and I think that once he gets a better mic he'll turn into a fan favourite, just like his big brother did!

Cheer for Day in this thread!

His commentary was great, but yeah, he should have invested in a better mic.

I imagined his voice being totally different from the way he posts with 'lol''s and stuff.

Better mic or overally voice quality like Artosis has and it will be super awesome, fucking A

Humbly hoping for Day[9] to commentate in the final too :-]

Did not like him as much as Chill, I have to say. Maybe too much of a "leading" commentator [of which there already is one that probably only tasteless would be able to top], and fulfilling less of an "analyst" function like chill does. One really has to favour the artosis/chill combo in this event, i have to think, and for sure one really has to be amazed with the quality of these casts. even though, did anyone else think the observer was a little bit off today? oh, and another thing: how will the fourt seed for the next tsl be determined?

There are only 3 seeds. The TSL is fully explained at this web page:

But yea, there will be a consolation match next weekend for the final two days of the TSL. It's kinda sad that's its going to end so soon now.

But hey, it's been an exciting 2 months I don't think I've been more hyped up about Starcraft than I have ever been for a very long time. :D

The mic was a little worse than Artosis' but not bad.

Personally i didnt like him as much as Chill. His insight is great and all but interrupting Artosis mid-talk is making it sound messy. Furthermore, transitions were bad because he stops talking and then few seconds later continues just when Artosis starts speaking, thus word clash happens. Also he tends to speak way too long, sure he knows all little details but rotation between commentators is just as important as insight and leaving something other commentator to speak about makes it more fluent.
I liked his few unique remarks which probably made up for some of mistakes but Chill and Artosis duo seems to work best of all TSL commentators yet (probably they also had most experience as duo).

IMO it felt like he was having to fight with Artosis for airtime. I love Artosis, and I would be perfectly happy if he solo casted the entire thing, but if you're going to have Day[9] on there, Artosis should let him talk more, or at the very least, they need to figure out some way for them to work together better. There were too many times when they were talking over each other (and it did seem to me that it was Artosis dominating the mic moreso than Day[9]). I don't think either of them were doing it on purpose, but the dynamic there was a little weird.

Edit: That said, I think they are both excellent casters, and overall it was good commentary. They just have some small kinks that they need to straighten out.
