Today I tried having a co-caster, so that I could observe more and talk less, to work on my casting skills as a whole and improve based on feedback. In my defense, it's kind of hard to show you guys 2 things at once during a live game. On multiple occasions I'd point out there was multiple attacks happening, but I'd make a judgement call on which seemed more important. If you don't like it, then maybe you should be satisfied with having replays casted instead of live events, or do it yourself. People need to realize that in order to catch all the action, you'd pretty much need to be in first person view. Their camera moves around 5x faster than ours, so that you ungrateful viewers don't get seizures. I like constructive criticism, but I'm tired of missing 1-2 drops in a bo7 series, filled with professionals playing at 150+ apm, and having the minimap garbage thrown in my face. This series was jam packed full of action and back and forth attacks, so something may go unnoticed because we are busy showing you 30 banelings destroying 2 tanks and 30 marines. Deal with it or don't watch. For now I'm going to keep donating my time casting events that high profile casters don't have the spare time to do, so that esports as a community can grow. Replays will be released soon. I probably won't recast the vods. Trolls win. Fuck the trolls. There are people who appreciate the fact that some individuals out there cast SC2 games simply out of their love for the game, and they're doing their best to keep up with 300+ APM from two players at the same time. Notwithstanding that they don't act like the typical pretentious nerd, raging because "[Ret]'s game was inefficient" or because the unit overlay is not up. Don't cast the replays if you don't feel like it, but don't let the assholes get to you. Keep up the good work! | ||

Game 3 was on xelnaga caverns, and QXC never even TRIED to expand to the gold, in fact he didn't even destory the rocks. The moment he tried to take his third, muta's denied it, and we showed it. Clearly you are just complaining to be rude. This just reverts back to the constructive criticism point. you definitely do not look like you're open to criticism... I don't remember everything you did wrong but I do remember you watching the base of QXC on scrap station with nothing going on there while he was moving up on creep destroying tumors getting ready to get attacked, you missed many things... just work on it, always keep an eye on minimap and show us what's going on, even if it's only clicking for 2 seconds the drop while there's an attack and coming back to the attack, we wanna see everything minimap is ur best friend dood... if like you see a bunch of marines attacking gold expand and nothing's moving in its direction to defend it it means the player has given up on defending it and he's probably going to counter or something, so go somewhere else on the map to find out what's interesting... you would most of the time just stay there and watch until it's dead and miss some other action | ||

I will have to recast the games :-( Ahh yeah I used to have this problem when I casted for C&C. One way is to start windows sound recorder at the same time you start recording and just overlap them when you encode the video. Epic games btw. | ||

Yesterday I had a terrible day. Family stuff, then work issues, then the vods not recording properly, then the trolls, I guess I let things get to me more than I should have. That tends to happen when 10 people complain, without being constructive, and pessimism kicks in and it seems like work goes unappreciated. I will recast the replays after work today. | ||

Just lots of "this will be really ineffective" (when it was a good choice) or "I'd like to see this" (when it would've been a bad choice) or the "Qxc has this game in the bag" when he was eons behind. Great games, I'm glad you guys brought them to us, I really enjoyed watching, just some things to work on. I think playing more would smooth out these bumps. Don't worry about stiring the pot. As I said before, I'm open to criticism. I admit i'm sometimes bad at predicting how things will turn out, because things can change in a split second, or something can be effective/ineffective with good/bad micro. I definitely think playing more would help, which i've been trying to do. I played a LOT in beta phase 1, but ever since the game released, work has been extremely busy and I often have to choose to either cast or play. Thanks for your input. | ||

Btw, where can we get the replays? That is the question :D These games really deserve more analysis than a cast can provide (they deserve to be casted too obviously). Please, are you considering releasing replays ? | ||

Definitely could use a lot of refinement with my mech style of play oo I think if you started doing those small drops earlier, you would've been in a slightly different place. I also really loved the barracks wall at the end/being ready to land right as the hatch fell. The double hatch snipe was also Bejujular | ||
