I do respect your effort for esports, and I don’t think you’re a bad commentator. But no, you’re not my favorite at this moment, and most of us compares with our favorites  Anyway,I will try to give you some more accurate critics, to explain, from my own perspective and my own preferences only of course. You do seem to lack some in-depth Starcraft 2 knowledge that many other commentators have. But that can be somewhat fine, alongside for example Apollo you can be the entertainer while he provides more analysis. Same as Tasteless (more entertaining) and Artosis (more analyzing) in some ways. In my opinion, often the analyzing guy should have more room than the entertaining guy. Because Starcraft 2 is a game that often is all about small changes in strategies, small skirmishes, which become interesting for the audience if someone provides an in-depth view that we can’t always comprehend ourselves. What I don’t like that much about your commentating is that you often speak about those small situations and changes in your “entertaining way” when (for example) Apollo could provide something more interesting, in-depth. This combined with your great voice gives me the feeling that you “take over” a little bit too much. I would like you to be a little more laid back in most situations and give more room to you co-commentator, and use your great voice and entertaining style in those parts of the games that are truly exciting like big battles and such. I do think that this balance is something that makes Tasteless and Artosis so good. (Then there are always Day9, who can do both roles by himself sometimes ^^). Of course, it wouldn’t hurt if you improved your game knowledge a little bit Hopefully I was a little more accurate now, explaining my view. As a said, I don’t think you’re a bad commentator, I listen to most of the events you commentate with pleasure. But for now, you’re one the “famous commentators” (I could say some of the above about for example Husky as well) that I do think could do with some improvement. Keep your efforts up and you probably will improve, in one way or another! | ||

You have two "quality" posts... shouldn't have bothered making an account. TB provides excellent PbP and paired with dApollo's insight they provide a very good cast. Like many things, It's a matter of tast. | ||

I am angry that people think it's okay to just hate bash something that's not their preference. Different people like different casting styles. Nothing wrong with muting the stream (or not watching) if you strongly dislike the caster. ... and what do you "no" about casting? | ||

Regular casters: "Make some noise for IMMVP guys." TB: "And in the blue trunks, representing team IM, representing South Korea, the game genie Terran, the 3-Time GSL champion, the reigning Blizzcon champion, regarded by many as THE BEST TERRAN IN THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLLD! IT, IS, IM'S M-V-P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" | ||

IMO the only thing they lack is the humor/jokes which are sometimes hit and miss compared to tastosis | ||

To the trolls bashing on TB, you should go hide under a bridge and think about how much the guy does for the community before posting stupid stuff. <3 Apollo and Totalbiscuit | ||
