can you give an example? ive really enjoyed his commentary, and found his game knowledge to be more than satisfactory
He kept complaining about the bane speed timings, which were in fact fine. DRG vs Lucifron he was using a heavy ling muta counterattack style similar to zenex line, to get out more drones. Also you don't need that many banes if your already ahead. In the rain game, DRG saw a late seigemode, so bane speed wasn't a big deal and delaying it can get you a slightly better economy. The little things pro-players do add up. Also he kept complaining about heroes force fields and not using them when he actually used them all. I mean it just bothers me when he says that's a mistake, when there's legitimate reasons to do that. Besides pointing out player mistakes distracts from the energy of the game, and i think its more casters trying to inflate their own ego. It annoys me when tasteless and artosis point out mistakes which actually may not be. Just some opinion, good tourney so far! T v P dissapoints me tho :/
Wow you must have a hard time ever enjoying any games if you think that much about any small imperfections in what the casters say :\

.......he's not
good, Why is he railing so hard on the pro players, I can tell you from a zerg prespective DRG was not making mistakes that apollo said he was.
Apollo is a high level zerg player gone random. I think he's even taken a coaching role at Dignitas.

err delayed seige means less money into tanks, which means more money into marines, so bane speed is MORE important when you see a delayed seige mode.
the production is so damn good here. no major delays in between games, nice commentary, nice hosts, a KICKASS location (have you seen the balcony? damn!), soundproof booths (thats right, blizzard & IEM), and no 1h waiting time in between games! dreamhack lets go!
