BUT, TB, coming into this thread and bitching out people watching an event is idiotic. I'm not saying they're right, I'm saying whether they're right or wrong you can do nothing but hurt yourself and the tournaments you cast with this behavior. Your value as a caster is directly linked to your popularity, and pissing off sc2 fans is just stupid. The only two casters who are unprofessional enough to come into threads and argue with fans are you TB, and Incontrol, and both of you receive incredibly negatives responses when you do so. Ignoring haters is the only acceptable response of a professional. Can you imagine a football caster getting into a pissing contest with a random fan? When a player gives fans the finger they get fined thousands of dollars for a reason. It reflects badly upon yourself, your team, and your profession.
Well said, and why we're at it take off the top hat
The criticism in this thread was not very constructive no, but I've never seen totalbiscuit give a different response to really constructive criticism either, always the "lol you're wrong". I don't really listen that much to what's said during commentary though so I don't really care, just like having something to listen to. But as day9 said on SotG, if you're doing this kind of stuff you should probably drop your ego, which I don't think you have ^_^.
TB, there is nothing you can say in this thread that will turn out positive for you. LR threads usually bring out some questionable people. It's best to look for constructive criticism else where.

Nooo! Leave it on!
But it plays into the fat nerd 'wacky' stereotype like a chubby brunette in cat ears at an anime convention. Should rock the nice shirt like the GSL lads.

And just as importantly, even if Idra had already won it's the job of the casters to make a game seem as close as reasonably possible.

Idk, I kinda enjoy watching TB posting in LRs making an ass out of himself and making haters instead of fans....
I can take criticism, I am pointing out that the criticism is shit. You think I or anyone else should sit here and thank people for posting dumb things on this forum? If you can't be constructive, then you are of no use. Amusing isn't it, how community members often think to post that I can't take criticism and yet throw up their hands in grave offense whenever I don't treat their comments as pure internet gold. They are the random, unjustified and badly written remarks of a spectator, after the game has finished.
The criticism isn't shit, multiple people in this thread have told you that Idra won those engagements pretty handily.
No wonder Idra thinks you're a shit caster. You have little knowledge and lots of ego.
Hahaha, once again the random forum guy strikes. You have no idea what my relationship with IdrA is or what he actually thinks.
Stop calling things that haven't happened, you and Apollo did it about 5 times in that last series.
Oh look, yet more useful feedback with no actual information. God LR threads are so amazing.
You called the death of the Hatchery multiple times before it happened, you called a warp in from the warp prism when he was at 200/200 anyway... you are too ignorant and stubborn to take any real constructive feedback on board.
Stop this ffs. There is no sense to bitch about everything. These events are entertainment not an angry fest. I can bitch about your comment too, whitera was 200/200 but phased his prism, so himself didn't notice it.
Commentating is a hard job, you have to provide entertainment and hype for every situations, and also provide analysis and good hindsight. While bitching on TL require nothing than a shity mind.
