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!

Loved him.
|
His commentary was great, but yeah, he should have invested in a better mic.
|
He did a good job, cant say the same about NonY though.
|
Yeah day's comments were great, good insight into the game
|
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: http://www.mymym.com/en/news/12926.html
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
|
He did an excellent job and i hope he gets to do more commenting in the future.

I want Day[9] in the finals too :D Day[9] fighting~~~~~~ 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.
|
Verryyy good commentating Day[9]
|
DAy[9] & Artosis for official TSL casters ))
|
yeah i have a shit mic, my good one broke :[
i'm going to buy a new one soon!!

Thank you. It was very professional commentary.
|
i liked what he had to say and the emotion mentioned above "noooooo another shuttle no plzzzz" but chill is a lot more clear and yeah, the mic helps
|
Very good but I'm weak for Chills silksmooth voice! ;D go all three for finals!
Get a better mic and it'll be great though :>
|
It was quite good commentary but I can't help it to like chill more
|
i think artosis and day[9] sync well with each other, the best commentating ive seen yet. Possibly add chill in as a third would be nice too.
|
great job!
it would be interesting to hear tasteless and day casting together ^^
|
alternate chill/day in the finals?

day9s sooo smart was great fun
|
it was cool but I prefer chill, think that day9's voice is a little too much like commander data from star trek, it's eery ><. Though seriously he had good things to say and such I would just perhaps vote chill over him. It would be nice to see day9 guest commentating one of the games of the final
|
Day's commentary seems sloppy at first but the more he talks the smoother it gets. Its like gettin hypnotized.
|
I liked Day[9]'s commentary, get a better mic and try and figure out something with Artosis to know what to do when you both start talking at the same time and you'll be a very hot commentating team in no time.
I would also like to add that there are a *lot* of great english commentators these days: Artosis, Chill, Day[9], Diggity, Klazart, Moletrap, Cholera. Keep it up, it's much easier to get other people to watch Starcraft if they understand what's going on!
|
Day 9 was so good, he's basicly as good as artosis, he actually delivers more emotions than artosis. The storm drop in game 2 without storm researched by nony was just golden :D
|
Day9, you rocked man, was a real pleasure listening to you today with Artosis.
Hope you'll cast in the finals too.
I must say, you really have the 'voice' for this. I like your voice better than Chill, but you're good in diffrent ways imo.
|
Day[9] (not hating on the other commentators) made that cast for me. When Nony lost his first shuttle w/ 2 reavers in Game One, I threw my hands up in the air and Day was the only one to bring enthusiasm to the casts so far. You know, the type of enthusiasm that knocks cups of liquid over because you just lost money type of enthusiasm.
|
We found our TSL Commentator trio.
|
I LOVED his enthusiasm, pretty much agree with what thunk said. Having a play by play person and a color commentator just letting you know what's going on and like telling you why they're doing what they're doing is good, but it's even better when there's excitement.
That may just be me, though.
And BTW I'm not comparing him to anyone else, I'm just saying. Honestly this was the first TSL cast that I watched fully so yeah, I wouldn't have much room in comparing him to Chill.

day9 > chill for commentary
brent spiner announcer ftw!!
|
is there anywhere i can watch the stream?
|
I really Chill, but luckily, it is not necessary that only one of the two cast. If possible, both would be great. If not, I will gladly accept and embrace whatever I am given.
|
These pictures are a little off topic for this thread, but I found all the "mechanics" talk during the commentary about Nony and Draco very comical :D
+ Show Spoiler +
|
I have to agree.
Chill and Artosis is the best combination. Also Anything with Mani is also awsome. Not that the commentary was bad, just that Chill and Artosis seem to work better together.

lol! But do you know what mechanics are? (if you dnt, they are a player's capability to manage his base and resources and time his builds correctly- often very important, and why draco was higher pop almost all the time.)
|
cant fucking decide between day/artosis or chill/artosis, as someone said, altenate chill and day for the finals commentaries

While I have to agree on this, don't forget that this was Day's first cast as well. I remember the first cast with Mani, Artosis and Chill (I think it was?) and it was messy, compared to the later ones.
Give the man some time to get used to the setting and the other commentators and we'll soon have our very own foreign comment-trio! Artosis to do the play-by-play commenting, Chill to analyze, and Day to shout REEBOOOOOR AHBITOOOOH
|
No question that chill/artosis is the best, (or accutaly artosis and gentho are in Acension). I also want Artosis to be the main caster (he is sort of that now), he should have the word around 75% of the time and the other caster could just add stuff and so on.
|
I think all the casters need to be a bit more critical of the players sometimes instead of just saying how good everyone is and how pro everything they do is...
|
I learned a lot from day[9], such as unit and building position, which units to have in a maxed army and which units to replenish it with etc. I loved listening to him.
|
i love Day[9]. He was so awesome because his genuine enthusiasm really shined through to put it in his words Pls, have Day[9], Chill, Artosis cast the finals!
|
day 9 > chill, you can tell he's got his brothers intrest and emotions while casting and also a really good voice. Last nights cast was the best one through the entire TSL so far.
|
day9 + artosis = best combo :D I really loved the casting job done =D
|
i totally agree with those who say that Artosis + Day[9] is the best combination, it was so awesome to listen to.
: - )

Emotions doesn't equal better, IMO.
Chill to me is better, though Day did a good job for his real first(?) time. Though to me it sounded more like a normal commentary than a huge event, which is what I get from Chill. Hearing him and Dan alternate analysis and insight is really a great way to visualize what exactly the players are thinking.
Well done as usual guys. If I could I'd buy you all a beer.
|
One of the best surprises in the whole TSL!
|
Day had only 2 drawbacks compared to Chill: Overlaping with Artosis quite often (fixed with practise and/or some agreement with Artosis) Bad mic (fixed with some dollars)
So yeah, Chill/Artosis is better now, but Day/Artosis can work just as well too
Chill/Day/Artosis sitting next to each other and commentating games live - I would leak all of my sperm out...
|
i think that day/artosis is better than chill/artosis because they both ha ve really high foreign level experience. chances are that they have played the people that they are commentating on too, so they can provide mnore insight
|

I think that's a little graphic.
Day[9] was great (mic. quality could be a little better). Artosis is great. Chill is great. If they can work out the tough part of commenting in tandum then it'd be fantastic having them all going at once. We can hope for TSL season 2 .
|
Chill is awesome - he's great at working together with the other commentator to making a clean, yet still informative commentary. His strengths are balancing the commentating strongly and having an awesome laugh. Day is also a very good commentator, he's not as experienced in commentating as Chill imo but his strategical analysis and insight is great! Artosis has always been my favorite though (not to say the others suck, they're great too) - he is a good commentator and works well with everyone! :D
|
dude Sean ... you have to inject your humor into the casting more... talking to you IRL is like nonstop LOL's but I feel as if you weren't as funny in this setting (SO GET FUNNIER!)
|
Yeah, well done Day[9], but please: get a better headset.  The audio quality was just poor. Or at least turn up the volume, I always head to make the sound louder when you spoke and turn it back when Artosis said something. xD
|
He did a great job, he and Artosis obviously aren't 100% in sync with each other yet not having the time together that Chill and Artosis have had. Nothing a few more casts won't work out. Loved it!
|
I really like Day[9] but was soo disappointed - I could hardly hear a word he said
|
day you just need a better mic!
|
I must say the second I heard Day9 talking I knew it was just right. Artosis and Day9 are both High-level players who have loads of experience, both having won WCG etc. They have to work on how they complement each other though, but once they get it right, It's probably the best pair of casters that the foreign community has to offer. Great job day!
|
I'd almost like to hear Chill and Day9 dual commentate... it'd be an interesting dynamic. But all three are excellent at it, I can't argue no matter who it is. I'd say Chill is humorous so he's slightly favorable ;P Artosis has the perfect voice (such clarity) and knowledge for commentating, and Day9's game/player analyses were very impressive.
|
I have to agree about Day[9]'s enthusiasm. He was so much fun to listen to. When Tasteless went to Korea to commentate, my first response was, "awesome, now we just need Day there to do it with him."
Day is so fun to listen to, but I still love Chill's commentary so much, oh noes my heart is torn!
BTW, this isn't Day's first commentary. I saw on VOD on TL.Net recently where Day and Tasteless were casting together, and I'm pretty sure he's done a bunch of commentaries. He and his brother work great off of each other. I met them at WCG Chicago a few years ago, and they are pretty fun when they get together.
|
Artosis is the undisputed king of commentating. He and Gentho did some great work with Ascension. I really like Artosis and Chill though, great combo. Day[9] varied, I think he's improving quickly, but sometimes he talked to much and didn't give Artosis a chance to speak. Also Day[9]'s game knowledge seemed a bit off on occassion, and he tended to state the obvious often.
The reason I like Artosis so much is he actually makes you a better player just by listening to him (and I happen to be a terran player).
|
All the commentators have been great so far
|
dAY[9] and Artosis are such good commentators. They really give great insight into the game. Day[9] is basically the only other person to be on the same level as Artosis when it comes to strategic insight.
|
Day's insight and commenting was great but his mic was horrid. Whoever was producing this broadcast did a very poor job of fixing the levels, especially considering you guys commentate on replays (that is also VERY lame). I'd rather have Chill unless they can fix Day[9]'s mic issues.
|
I hope day 9 gets to commentate on the rest of the matches, he's so much more into the matches and excited, and also provides alot of insight since he's a really good player.
|
I like Day but the sound levels were so off that I had to leave it where he was inaudible and I could only hear Artosis, otherwise Artosis would be way too loud. I highly preferred the Artosis/Chill combo.
|
Artosis, Chill, and Day are all such knowledgeable and insightful commentators that any two of the three would be good enough for me. Only their volumes have to be in sync, and then they're good to go.
|
I think all three of them are great, they're so different and wonderful in their own way. This makes it really hard to pick, one over the other.
Maybe a _structed_ tripple commentary for the finals?
Gogo Day, get a new mic ASAP!
Thanks.
|
i enjoy chill/artosis the best. day[9] was good too but i found him more annoying to listen to than chill.

I thought Chill & Artosis combo was the better. With Day, it felt they were both fighting for air time while I rather listen to more of Artosis. In less than 20-30 minutes, Artosis includes so much information.
