Is it just me, or do you also realize how good Day9 is at what he's doing when you listen to the Apollo kid?

Good games though, can't wait for tonight!

Why, because he's got such a unique style of.. telling the obvious stuff with no insight whatsoever over and over again? Or because of his great use of adjectives and adverbs? Having uttered such gems like "such sick placement, very good, very very good, very very very good, so good".

Maybe I'm too old for this stuff lol, knock yourself out.

I'm not a huge fan of apollo myself. He's not bad. I just think he has a tendency to get over-excited and talk a lot without really having much to say. I also think he and Day9 clash a bit too often and speak over each other, but I do think they've been constantly improving their flow together and there's not much I can complain about.

dapollo is way more stategically insightful then day9. Day chose to target the amateur audience with his daily and there is nothign wrong with that, its still a great pleasure to listen him cast. I just disagree with bandwagon hate apollo gets. Tryign hard to align yourself with day doesnt make you cooler it makes you obnoxious.
maybe youre too noob for this stuff lol.

Lol ok, you win I guess fan boy. As you grow older you'll probably understand that trying to be different at every opportunity is sometimes not such a 'cool' strategy in life as people seem to think, especially if your reasoning is not sound.

I didn't even know there was a 'hate-bandwagon' on Apollo lol but that tells me something. My views are based on his performance and what I see is just not good enough. But the above quote tells me everything I need to know about you. Cheers

I thought both of them were pretty good, from what I saw. You could tell they haven't really casted together that much, but as it was going on they got better and better. I'm sure that it's going to be even better tonight. Why the polarization?

The really annoying part about the whole IEM coverage is the fact that GLHF.tv is allowed to cast stuff, but is totally at the mercy of the ESL with what they are allowed to show. That creates some pretty unhappy fans who are getting shown only one match out of a series, because the ESL reserves all the juicy bits for themselves. I know it is a business for them, but if I were the Gunrun I would stop covering it after being treated like a slave as he has been. If they give their word that he can cast a series they should keep it and not take it back because they ran out of games themselves. Greed by the broadcasters as the ESL has shown is one thing which keeps the momentum of Starcraft 2 as an eSport back and many tournaments with loads of casters during the beta had much more excitement than only getting the sub-par ESL free quality stream. If they have to push ads on us via Octoshape - which screws up settings left and right - there is no reason to have a premium stream to pay for, especially if the premium stream gets the ads as well ... The total picture of this isnt "I want to promote eSport and broadcast this tournament to the fans" but rather "I want to make money".


You can't blame ESL for that, it's THEIR tourney

Well it is their tourney, BUT it also clearly shows their personalities and I for one do NOT like to be walked over by others, even if it is their right due to an agreement. We - as humanitiy as a whole - can NOT allow greed and self serving to allow to continue. We dont want strong countries walk over weak ones by force of arms, so why should it be different in business? It is as damaging to humanity and thus despiccable by anyone who notices and gives a damn. The least thing they could do is to allow GLHF to continue streaming the match while doing so themselves. GLHF is providing additional coverage they themselves do not want to give and if he would quit they would need to provide it themselves at probably a much higher cost than the Gunrun requires.

Live and let live is a good motto and altruism is a really rare virtue we need a lot more of.
If you cant say what you're meaning, you can never mean what you're saying.

ESL has sponsors paying a lot of money for advertisements and they would be rather distraught if there was a second streaming option available, you should be happy ESL is letting them stream games which would otherwise not be seen.
