Watching Gretorp and Xeris cast together is kind of like watching a trainwreck, only both trains are filled with Gilbert Gottfried and Dane Cook clones, and also on fire before they crash.

Close this out Zenio.

If you really think basketball or starcraft would be as popular as they are without Jordan or boxer, you have no idea about the history of the game. Jordan is almost solely the reason basketball became a global phenomenon, and boxer is why starcraft was a cultural phenomenon in Korea.

When the Bad Boy Pistons walked off the court with 30 seconds left and no shaking hands,after being swept by the Bulls, they were pilloried. It looks pathetic. Just like Idra never admitting he loses to a better player, or when Idra leaves when hes ahead.

What do people like about this guy? Or is it just people on the internet like him because so many people online are passive aggressive little piss ants, so they like seeing someone just like them?

Looking forward to Idra being knocked out of this tourney, hopefully.

Ingame music and higher volume of the sound effects would really help a lot :p

How about this for a suggestion:

Instead of "hiring" random casters at a ridiculously low pay (if they even get payed at all) - which honestly makes those casters who agree to take the gig amateurs at best - why not offer respectable money for seriously awesome casters who are just aching to make a living off of doing this professionally? Casters like djWHEAT (which to be offered a permanent casting job at good pay would be a dream come true for him and the community that supports him) , day[9], tasteless (maybe that'll get him to come back home?), totalBiscuit, HDstarcraft, Husky and many many more - these actually declare that they wish to dedicate their life to advance eSports, particularly by casting.

I know that its not that simple. The casters may need to reside close to the studio, but i believe that with a reasonable pay grade and some creative thinking that could easily be solved.

NASL - picking casters like Gretorp, INControl, and other random guest "casters" (most were NOT CASTERS) makes you look and feel unprofessional and at times even silly.

Don't get me wrong. I like Gretorp, he's an awesome player and I respect his knowledge and analysis. But he does not have real casting experience. I LOVE INControl. He's just awesome in every way imaginable. But he's PARTICIPATING AS A PLAYER in the league! That makes his analysis and casting possibly biased. Even though Gretorp and INControl made a joke out of the issue, and even though INControl usually didn't cast the days his division games were aired, this is still a really problematic issue that hasn't really been addressed.

I am grateful that NASL kicked off eSports in NA (and the whole world tbh) into the realm of viable professions. They took eSports a huge step in the right direction. That being said, I still believe they have ALOT of room for improvement - and carefully picking their casters is #1 on that list.
