No offense, but the complexity roster without MVP is really weak, considering how well they appear to be funded and sponsored.

Of course not to take anything from liquid, as they had a dominating performance. Once again, go liquid!

First of all, I'm leaving HD out of this because I feel like he's acting less than himself due to his partners absolutely embarassing aura. I even think he might be getting annoyed himself, so let's just give him the benefit of the doubt this once.

PainUser. We are watching you cast the Team Liquid vs ColMVP IPL Team Arena Challenge games right now. And this is by far the worst casting most of us ever seen in any professionally-played video game. No matter how much you know, and no matter how many points about the game you are able to offer, none of that matters when you act like an absolute reject nerd and make everything awkward for everyone watching.

Half of the people in the chat room are saying you're on drugs, and the other half muted the channel long ago. Your constant driveling voice, chatting about inane bullshit while there are points to be discussed within the game, is more excessive than any newbie caster most of us have seen anywhere else on the net. I've watched videos of bronze league casters giving better input to the games than you did during the Sheth vs Gowser game.

Not to mention that you need to take a serious class in how to not look physically retarded on camera. Stop pouting your lips, stop yelling at the camera when it's pointed at your face, and stop making weird noises that are so over-the-top and unnecessary. Your hygiene lacks and I think I can smell your B.O. wafting into my window here all the way across the country.

You absolutely and without-a-doubt ruined the entire Liquid vs ColMVP team series, and I can not believe that you still have a job casting. It's been the most dispicable and negative representation of e-sports I've ever witnessed or heard. I would be totally embarassed to watch these streams with my non-starcraft friends when trying to show them what I'm into.

Take a page out of the books of people like Artosis, Rotterdam, and MrBitter, and get some professionalism in your casting life. Because your current state of affairs won't get you too much further.
.

. P.S. You shouldn't yell the word "RETARDED" really loud on camera.

Well, ok, stop hating on the casting.

The problem is that tonight we have two "color" commentators. I never laugh like this with other casters (except day9 obviously).

Honestly, I like it.. I know the game well enough, I can see what's happening. But I'm loling on the couch by myself at Painuser's sarcasm at HD. It's funny.

That having been said, they should couple a "color" caster with a "technical" caster. An Artosis or Catspajamas. Speaking of PJs, Cats is probably the most technically proficient caster in the industry at the moment (based on annunciation, intonation, tempo, pitch, etc), and with a strong color caster (or day9, who is both simultaneously), we could have some seriously strong casting.

From an anecdotal perspective, consider this: I was visiting my parents one night for dinner, and stayed late to watch some TAC. A friend of my parents happened to come downstairs to see what the noise was- ended up having a beer with me, turns out to be an executive at a huge media company. He had never seen starcraft, had no idea about the eSports community, but was very intrigued. He said it sounded like "mid 70's NFL football", with a kind of raw, fun commentary, with one "color" commentator and one "play by play" commentator. It was really fun to talk to this guy, and he ended up wanting a sort of "portfolio" of the starcraft community. Anyone have any ideas for a "Top Casts Ever"? I have to meet with this guy pretty soon, so far i'm combing through Day[J]Wheat and Tastosis vids trying to make a best-of.

*Edit* They aren't checking their twitter, I tweeted the "it's gosu user" a while ago lol
