Orb, you're a good commentator and I only have one criticism for you.
During the 3rd game between Lots and forGG you missed the Hellions that Lots sent into forGG's main after the small engagement at the Xel'naga Tower. You were talking about Lots terrible gas management and completely awful cloak timing (it was truly, amazingly bad). They got into the base and killed a SCV or two before forGG's Banshee killed them.
Other than that, good job!

I think I read an interview with MMA in which he stated Lots is the youngest player on SlayerS and was feeling the pressure just helping him practice for the GSL. He has potential I mean his account is almost always top 25 GM. Terrible game though, will be better once he gets his nerves under control.

Raptor (one of his accounts according to huk; http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=125729¤tpage=69) has existed since season 1: http://sc2ranks.com/kr/2842545/Raptor/season/1. So he just recently PUBLICLY switched to sc2, but he's been playing for a while, and only recently has he gone 'pro'. He was masters in season 1, rank 14 grandmasters in season 2. This proves that he's been good for a while. Joining oGs probably helps him get EVEN BETTER, but he hasn't JUST switched to SC2 like Orb thinks. Just letting him know so Orb can commentate on him better, otherwise I love his casting, haven't heard much but I think he's the best solo caster from the little that I've heard on the Korean Weeklies. He also has his accounts Fin and Apex, both in GM league, though I don't know how many seasons each of them has been active for.. but yes, he has been playing for quite some time, just not competitively till recently!
ForGG is sick. All three accounts have been Grandmaster since it existed. He was ranked 11, 14, and 30 in season 2, 40, 45, and 50 for season 3, now that he probably plays more customs with oGs than ladder games. I'm really excited about forGG in the pro scene, I'd love to see him make waves and be a top tier player.

I came here to watch StarCraft, not see a gold level caster criticize professional Korean progamers. Also, I want to hear about strategies, not "this player has 4 hydras." The show is called the "Korean" weekly, not the orb weekly, so I expected to hear about the Koreans, not Jake QQ about not being famous enough to cast for MLG. As per my recent tweet "According to @orbtl ForGG had 'a nice little run' in Brood War #understatement #learnyourfacts #doyourresearch."

You seem....upset. Orb has done a pretty amazing job casting, and does some pretty damn good in game analysis.

Your post was NOT criticism, it was outright caster bashing.
Manner up.

1. This is a free cast and no one is asking you to watch it. If you really hate the caster, don't like the style, then by all means stop watching or mute the caster. Stop bashing Orb. 2. Orb has done more for the community by streaming and casting than many, than I, and most likely you as well, ever will 3. Orb is a pretty intelligent caster. If you watch more of his casts, you will find that he is more astute than many and more right than wrong.

What criticism? If you came to watch starcraft, then hit the mute and watch it. You don't need to listen.
So far, you've noted: 1) You don't like the fact that he's a "gold level caster" pointing out mistakes of professionals. I assume the implication is that only professionals can criticize professionals. Are you a gold level caster capable of criticizing him? It doesn't matter.
2) You don't think you've heard enough about strategies (which is subjective and arguable at best). This might be a valid point if it weren't so vague.
3) Yes the show is called the Korean Weekly, and it's featuring two Koreans playing against each other. There might be some filler, but it's not as if we've gone away from the focus of the event. I think we haven't forgotten where we are or what we're doing, and I, for one, don't need you to remind me.
4) I don't know why this community holds lack of BW knowledge as some kind of stigma. ForGG's SC:BW career doesn't impact his SC2 career to the point where mentioning it as a "little nice run" is worthy of indictment. Oh no, someone doesn't fully appreciate ForGG's Arena MSL 08 run! Forgive me if I'm not so quick to burn him at the stake.
I don't know how someone who's apparently done so little (read: nothing) can be so entitled and angry over something that, frankly, doesn't warrant that level of vitriol.
Although I hate this sort of argument, please, show us how it's done. Set up a TRUE KOREAN Weekly, cast it, produce it and demonstrate that, indeed, these perceived transgressions by Orb are worthy of our contempt.
Or realize that your subjective bias is not indicative of a fault of the caster, but rather, personal taste. Valid criticisms can be addressed and rectified, but this is as inane as hating someone's hair. Mute it if you don't like it. Leave if you don't like it. Offer words of advice if there are improvements to be made.
But don't waste people's time with a load of hot air and a handful of nothing.

does blizzard have a legitimate reason for not nerfing emp or snipe range? the fact that ht vs ghost micro battles are impossible for the protoss makes a 200 v 200 battle merely a formality.

that was the strangest game i ever seen

Haha... why do I even watch these games any more, it's freaking disgusting how bad that fight went. It wasn't even a fight.
