@TB: You're one of the top tier sc2 casters as far as I'm concerned and I'm really looking forward to your casting in the IGN. Don't let the haters get to you

if Dan Shulman can be given a job at ESPN commentating MLB baseball then TotalBiscuit can be given a shot commentating SC2.

if TotalBiscuit is a complete bomb then the IGN Pro League and other event organizers will figure it out and never use him.

If like Dan Shulman he develops a following without having played the game at a professional level he'll slowly be given more and better broadcasting roles. it's really all about viewer numbers.

relax man its only 1 small season of a Pro League.

You do not have to worry about that. People like him make me believe that the haters are actually crazy. They succeed in doing nothing but convincing me that I should keep doing what I'm doing.

If there's anything that the whirlpools of rage have gotten right, TB, it's that you really shouldn't try to respond any more. In the end it doesn't really achieve anything; you're trying to fill a bottomless hole.
At this point I refuse to believe that people are actually this enraged about casters (all of them); your reputation unfortunately precedes you, I think. There are certain casters whom you can't mention by name if you want a good thread; changing that would probably require more than simply arguing with them.

They are a vocal minority that refuse to accept that not every tournament broadcast is aimed squarely at them. They do not have any comprehension of the business or broadcast side of things and it is best that their views are taken with a few pinches of salt since although they mean well, they have developed into elitist, toxic personalities.

BTW, I got my BA in Electronic Media Management, with a focus in the area of radio production.

People that know the game fairly well compared to you tell you that you are bad and that makes you want to cast more?

I said that in response to the remark "They do not have any comprehension of the business or broadcast side of things"

Not sure why that has any relevance at all. Maybe move the conversation to something more private so this thread doesn't start derailing (if it hasn't already yet).

Also, I really would like to see the videos, where art thou Alex?

Yes because they actually believe that the only important thing in commentary is knowing the game very well. At that point you can disregard what they have to say because it's wrong and you have the numbers to support that theory.

People that know the game even better than you and actually play on a pro level, tell me that I'm good. People that work in the broadcast industry tell me that I'm good. Forgive me if a master's league protoss is not high up on the list of luminaries I take my feedback from. You've had your chance to be heard and your position is clear. Now all you're interested in doing is trolling, which was predicted very well by someone earlier in the thread. Nothing else of value will come out of this discussion.

Man I love that people these days can totally disregard any criticism, including the constructive kind, with a handy 'Haters gonna hate' brush and continue along their merry oblivious way while never improving or remotely understanding on any kind of meaningful level why they're not suited to everything they think they're good at. I also like it when people specialise in diluting any remotely relevant content to the point where it appeals to a large cross section of people who have a passing interest in something while completely castrating the experience of those who remotely care about the subject.

Man I wish I was a youtube celebrity, you don't have to actually try at anything but marketing yourself and propagating your own image, it's just/exactly like being a reality tv star!

Well now that you guys have successfully marginalised yourselves firmly into the camp of trolling and can't be taken seriously anymore, I think we're done here. A shame that some people are incapable of civilised discussion.

I'm not trolling, i'm pointing out the absurdity of you calling everyone who brings up any negative point about your content a troll just because they don't align with your viewpoint. You do this in every single thread and never remotely accept any of the valid criticisms of anything you ever do. Please stop.

Wasn't meant to be a discussion. If you're bad, you're bad, there's no use trying to rationalize/spin it.
