Ah crap noobie talk coming from DJ Wheat. IPL probably told him to do this... Actually IPL didn't give us any direction on the casting. But this is IGN's outlet for SC2. Which means there is amazing potential to bring in NEW AUDIENCE (because their audience is so large across the board). In these cases, it only makes sense to introduce some "crap noobie talk" to the games. I can understand why people who are used to "hardcore" commentary think this is "worthless and tiresome"... but I also understand why it's necessary to make sure this type of content goes beyond the hardcore and into the hands of someone who may not understand everything going on. I used to get these same kind of complaints back in Quake when I would take the opportunity to discuss the damages of various weapons or how much a yellow armor is worth and why it's important to control it. Anyway, not putting down your comment, just trying to explain why you'll be hearing "crap noobie" tidbids throughout the IGN casts that come from me.
I enjoy listening to this "beginner" talk, it makes me feel smrt.

Wow just got done watching the Idra VoD's, and first of all the production values on the IPL are sick! This is really what you expect from a pro starleague, so it's great to see that it's possible in the West. Second, holy crap Fenix got outclassed. That was ridiculous.

Thanks Alex. That's good to hear. Right now I'm having this problem:

I can't hit the fullscreen or HD button because this black rectangle is in the way. It wasn't like this earlier today though. If it's important, I'm using the Chrome dev channel.

TB casting IdrA? I hope not. Wheat casting IdrA? Shit. I'll admit TB is good at casting and making stuff exciting, but he just isn't as knowledgeable and I just don't like that, he's in silver, isn't he? I think his SC2 videos don't get a lot of views for a reason, the only reason he is even popular is because of his WoW videos. Platinum. I am the 3rd most watched SC2 caster on Youtube, just fyi. My other stuff just happens to get a lot more views than the SC2 stuff.
This is the single most cringe worthy reply I think I've read on this site. I have no words to describe how awful you are as a commentator. The only reason you get views on YouTube is not because of your incredible knowledge of Starcraft, as is obviously evident by the casting you have done for IPL, but instead because of the vast majority of 11 year old World of Warcraft fans you seem to have accumulated. You should in no way be commentating a professional league when you're barely capable of understanding the basics of the game, I can see why IdrA was so BM towards you now with replies like that. Unfounded arrogance purely on the amount of views you get on YouTube? What a disgrace.

I'm having terrible trouble with the VODs right now. The Axslav vs Sheth series worked great, games 2 and three loaded right after game 1. But I go to watch Vibe vs Minigun and instead of loading game two a new page with game two of Idra vs Fenix loads up. I try to watch Machine vs Select, but after game one, the first game of Minigun vs Vibe comes up.
And to the poster above, all TB did is respond to that post. The guy asked if he was in silver and he replies he's in platinum. And then he explains he is the third most watched sc2 caster on youtube despite what the person he quoted said.

Blatantly insulting someone and telling them they are "awful" is pretty much against what TL.net is all about. Really unacceptable post. Hopefully this gets noticed quickly...

It's a perfect place to use that report button that I love so much 
Constructive criticism is okay. Blatantly insulting someone who is contributing to the community as well as Starcraft 2 is not.

I really hope IGN is taking notice of the amount of negative vibes coming off of TotalBiscuit. And how almost everyone that says they dont like him provide well thought out reasons why along with evidence to back it up. If nothing else its clear he doesn't have a passion for the game at least in comparison to just about every other caster out there. As much as I like the idea of appealing to the masses I still feel like its comparable to saying.... "we the FoxNews network should keep Glenn Beck, even tho its evident he's only in it for himself, because he appeals to crazy people."

stfu about TB already. The people complaining about him are an EXTREMELY VOCAL MINORITY.
Those of us who arent small minded mean spirited retards actually dont have a problem with him at all and think he's doing just fine. Sure theres room for improvement, but when is there not room for improvement?
Get over it, cause guess what? He's not going anywhere.

And you were doing so well, before turning around back to your old ways.
No, it is not some huge conspiracy to paint everyone who disagrees with me as wrong, it's just your criticism sucked.

Ok I think we're done here.

who have commented match idra vs fenix? It was BRILLIANT. I WANT MORE OF THIS GUY

negative vibes about TB (and also husky and dj wheat and whoever) come from a pretty much an elitist mind set. I bet you if you put everything DJ wheat or what TB said behind incontrols voice/face. You would barely see any criticisms of the cast. Though many would still arise a lot of spectators just look for a credible face to consider analysis to be right, and that face usually has to be masters or grandmasters
A lot of criticisms and the big words are "advanced analysis". Just listening to a tastosis cast where people would say analysis is at is highest and to be honest I think it's just the face of Artosis that give it so much "advanced analysis". I watch a lot of starcraft, read a lot of starcraft, and listen to a lot of starcraft and in the end it's all preference towards certain casters.

We fully stand behind our casters. All of our casters.

Imo, TB is a good caster who displays his knowledge of the game from time to time; he is in no way some inept bumbling fool. His voice is epic too. +1 respect for show of unity from Alex 
|
So after all the crap people were talking about TB I went into last night expecting to be super disappointed by his casting but I was pleasantly surprised. He brings a large amount of excitement to his casts and even if his analysis isn't at Artosis' level he's doing a great job. Keep on keeping on TB.
Also its funny when you say so and so is in the yellow/red/etc. trunks.

Dude you & DjWheat rocked, don't get trolled by all the haters. Even though you and IdrA had heated arguments in the past you kept the cast totally professional and cheered and praised both players!
Can't wait for Day2 !!!
