Is it just me, or are these guys painfully boring to listen to?

They talk about how exciting the last game was, but none of it shows in their tone at all. It sounds like golf commentary - no passion or excitement. Their commentating actually saps the excitement out of the games.

Almost entirely monotonic.

I really hope they improve with time, I want the NASL to be something fun for me, but right now I have to mute it. It's just making me sad.

Gretorp is nice, he plays the "calm analytical caster" role very well. but he needs someone more outgoing (like geoff) next to him. with him and Bitter its basicly two quiet, dry guys who never sound excited.

This has to be a troll.

But anyways, great play by iNcontroL! I remember a while back on SotG he mentioned that he though phoenix play was going to become a huge part of PvP. Looks like he's being pretty successful in pioneering that.

No it's definitely not only you. I mute the NASL on most days solely because gretorp is so difficult to listen to.

And you let us know almost every LR, too.

Last game was extremely inventive, it was definately well played. Interesting that Inc mentioned he thought of the proxy stargate on the fly. I wonder if he planned the 4 gate stargate and just the proxy was on the fly, or he was planning to 4 gate and the entire stargate was on the fly.

That would have been a pretty interesting follow up question IMO

I think Incontrol and Bitter would make a good duo. Bitter's casting style is too much like gretorp. Both players have a more calm, analytical style, while Incontrol has a more energetic, exciting style. I think Bitter is a good commentator, but paired with gretorp the casts are a bit bland

I felt like he was implying he would do the stargate play, and came up with the idea for a proxy on the fly.

Husky! The guy could be a commentate for horse racing.

EDIT: The guy could commentate for horse marathons.

God forbid someone should be happy when one of their close friends pulls of a really obscure build to win a series against a top Protoss. The standards for professionalism are getting a bit ridiculous lol.

I think it's pretty funny that the early criticisms of Gretorp were about him being overly excited, and now it's about him being not excited enough.

Can't win I guess.

i think i would prefere gretorp+incontrol to bitter+incontrol. Bitter is kinda insecure and awkward (avoids looking into the camera etc) and he would probably be uncomfortable with incontrols "Trollish" attitude

Mr. Bitter is great.

Also, is anybody else getting the same cheese advertisement every time there is a countdown? I think I've seen it 50 times so far.
