You don't have to play the game to present it to fans in an entertaining way. This is by far the most ridiculous criticism to use against any commentator of any sport.


I personally just find Mr Bitter's statement hilariously ironic considering his casting of some of the games at IEM NY. DRG's especially, just.. urgh. He went for the 2 base infested terran bust against a forge fe and Mr Bitter literally had no idea what was happening. He just kept saying 'I don't know what hes doing here' when its a build used so much in the GSL.

If you are going to say stuff like the statement he made, you REALLY have to be beyond reproach when it comes to game knowledge, becuase otherwise you are just going to look like an ass.


It's like a Chinatown vendor claiming that they have the only real Rolexes in all of Chinatown (normally when I parody someone's statement I try to play with the words more, I did my best with that sentence).

I've never been a fan of TB, but I love Apollo and his casting so that's all good on my side. <3

Fine I guess, I just wish Totalbiscuit would actually know what he is talking about. Looking farward to Apollo though, amazing caster.

Not a bad attempt. Just to clarify, I think that Mr Bitter is a great caster, but you really can't make statements like that.

Don't get me wrong. I was always saying that i love Totalbiscuit for his passion and what he does for the community, but recently i found that i like his commentary less and less. It seems that proper game analysis starts to be more and more valuable for me.

I recently watched Grubby Inv #3 and the contrast between 2GD's and Apollo's commentary was huuuuuge!
It's like comparing proffessor (Apollo) to drunken student (2GD).
It was fun between games, but when the game was on, Apollo just started to shine. His knowledge and game sence is comparable to the one of Artosis'.

Quite nice casting combo, but i feel that Totalbiscuit needs to improve his game knowledge or keep pulling funnier and funnier jokes, or else he'll fall to abyss and i don't want d.Apollo being pulled with him.

I swear apollo looks different every time I see him. I didn't recognise him at first when I saw him in person

They were pretty good at Dreamhack, looking forward to seeing their casting in this event.

I would somewhat agree with this a year ago. But TB heard the critique back then and actually learned ALOT by playing etc. He is by far one of the top 3 play-by-play and allround "fun" casters imo. And, by now, i would say that he atleast knows more about the game than your average caster. Also everyone should give him mad love for putting up all of his own stream revenue (and some well deserved donations) as pricemoney for his tournaments.
