I couldn't even watch to be honest. After watching IEM this looked like amateur hour. In chat the only compliments the caster got was on his hair? What is this? Is this the direction MLG wants to take eSports? With so many other quality caster why on earth did they choose this Robin kid? It's a very bad look for MLG, but maybe, hopefully they get it corrected for tomorrow. I enjoyed the EU broadcast very much and was really looking forward to Korea.... | ||

Honest criticism, he is casting Korea and didn't mention anything about the players backgrounds. Never uttered the word Code S or Code A. He speaks too fast and has a lisp. I don't know who on earth ok'd him to cast but that person is either related or never heard him cast. I couldn't even watch to be honest. After watching IEM this looked like amateur hour.

If you base your "facts" on the stream chat you really need to broaden your horizons. | ||

He doesn't have that much game knowledge, or a fantastic speaking voice, but...that passion. Gotta respect the passion. I usually love Robin's casting in other events such as Playhem/MLG beta, but in this qualifier he's kinda giving me a bit of a headache. He's just talking way too fast without any pauses... | ||

Do you not see????  | ||

I see it but I like to hear about the stories of what player beat what player to gain code S status or A and MLG is partnered with GSL or at least they were. | ||

It's not a very good map...it's okay, I'd imagine it's kinda close to balanced but the gameplay isn't interesting, Protoss will take 3 bases and turtle and Zerg will just lose because securing a fourth and beyond is difficult. Not even Cloud Kingdom. Ugh. | ||

It's way better than the other new Blizzard one, I suppose. Just seems like a really odd choice.

The 3000 matches part is a direct quote. | ||

Lisp, sorry I have to say it. I wanted to be an NBA player but I'm 5'9 we all have short comings. 4. Never tied anyone from the Korean Bracket to Code S or A heritage. 5. Poor game knowledge. 6. Looks and sounds amateur 7. 0 chemistry with JP I'm not trying to bash the guy it's not his fault, but he is clearly not ready for MLG unless MLG has decided to cheapen out on the casting. I can't believe a league of MLG's status tested this out and was like ok yep this looks and sounds good. | ||
