The way in which they treat Cruncher is a reflection on how they treat all their players in the tournament and future players to be. To have Idra openly ridicule him on the air, when the show is edited and not broadcasted live, is disrespectful to all players competing in the tournament. If we want eSports to grow and to be taken seriously, we need to be more professional. It is OK for players to have drama and interaction between one another, but it is not the job of a caster to talk down another players talent. If the NASL does want to be like American Idol and have a "blatantly honest, bad guy/villain type?" Idra is not the guy. A. he is involved in the tournament, b. his bias towards Cruncher stems from their history of playing together and goes outside the circle of Crunchers play. If we had an honest/open/ neutral caster making comments on a players horrible macro/micro/decisions, that would be one thing... tl:dr: Casters shouldn't be players who have personal grudges against the player they are casting. And since the NASL is not LIVE, and prerecorded and edited, it is their fault for producing footage of a caster openly ridiculing a player they invited to the tournament. give it a rest. he didnt bm him too bad. | ||

Well, Idra is a guest commentator, it wasn't Gretorp or Incontrol bashing Cruncher. Imagine if NASL made an announcement saying "we had to cut Idra out due to censorship". | ||

everytime he does it, i think it's ridiculously strong and punishs greedy / risky play from his enemies. i really wonder why no other zerg is really capable of doing it, he's really unique. | ||

Of course there are other great players in that group but they'll have to take their shot in the playoff round. | ||

I was sitting there captivated by all the little details he picked up, the subtle changes, the tricks and plays with the metagame that the gamers were doing, that no other caster would have noticed. He was analyzing how the patch affected the guys play on the spot, and taking into account how Whiteras past style would affect his play with the patch. The tiny hints of smugness when casting Crunchers game made the chat erupt in pleasure. I thought the chat was going to crash when IdrA said "unfortunately that is good for Cruncher" as he was preparing his proxy stargates. When White-ra was doing the winners interview, and more or less brutalized the English language with his Russian awesomeness, IdrA was struggling so hard to keep his pokerface, but 10.000 nerds in the chat were all yelling for IdrA to lose it on air. It was beautiful. All in all, IdrA wasn't selling us anything. He wasn't pimping his shirt site, he wasn't promoting his website or his girlfriends competition. He wasn't there to bullshit anyone. He was just pouring out his knowledge about the game, raw and unedited.. and no other caster could compare. | ||
