EPTalso i really like TB+apollo as a caster duo. i can see how people could dislike either one of them on their own for their faults (TB tends to shout play-by-play stuff a lot and doesn't have great knowledge of the game [albeit he's improving a lot], while apollo maybe tends to be a bit boring), but that is exactly why they work together so well and they have great chemistry that really brings out the best in both of them.

More to the point, how do you mis-call a fight that you're offering pure play-by-play on? It's nigh on impossible. Much love for you TotalBiscuit  You make the game more fun than it actually is for me so i am glad that you are going to cast this tournament. Also, the groups are insaaaaaane and it's happening so soon! | ||

But what you people do is just say, "Hey TB, you were wrong once... I don't remember when but you were totally wrong" | ||

Those who have access to more than just assumptions (ie. real facts and data) know more than you do about who tunes in and who does not. I would not keep getting invited to events if I could not bring in an audience. You really think I work some razzle-dazzle and fool organisers into thinking I bring in a larger audience than I really do? They have access to hard data to see what's going on, they don't need to make any assumptions. What a few vocal haters (which is what they are for the most part, they are not here to provide constructive feedback and more often than not have not watched a cast in so long that their complaints are entirely out of date and irrelevant) say on the forums has no bearing on tournament casting decisions. This is a business, business people don't view forum whining as particularly important, they work with actual figures and facts. My following is quantifiably large. My subscriber base is now larger than Husky and although that is for my general gaming content rather than my SC2, I have more cross-game appeal than any other caster at present and can reach demographics no-one else actually can. I am also easy to work with, I do not charge ridiculous rates for my time and have a lot of event experience. There's also a reason why you've never heard a single bad word said about me by event organisers and sponsors, because I do the job well. Blowing my own trumpet? Sure, why not, let's call it that, but I'm not concerned about you insulting me, more that you are insulting the intelligence of event organisers by claiming they determine who works their events entirely based on a few forum posts and are just ignorant and unaware of some grand army of TotalBiscuit haters. I got all I needed out of the bold. Thanks. | ||

I showed you far too much respect by replying to you in the first place, in the small hope that you'd not be a fucking tool. Looking forward to ruining more events for you. | ||

I don't get the point on hating the TB/Apollo combo when Apollo is supposed to be the analytical caster. To each their own I guess. Just don't ruin the party for the people who want to enjoy themselves. | ||

Your post had just as much substance as mine, so what kind of reply did you expect? You're just a lover (but of yourself) like all the people supporting you in this thread. | ||

Just lost a ton of respect from you because of this post. You stooped to his level by name calling, show some manners and be the better person. | ||

The guy insulted me and pretty much every tournament organiser out there. People like that are cancer in this community that need to be cut out. No big surprise that Americans get easily offended though. You're mistaking overreacting with being blunt. That's how TB is in forums Exactly. And I don't like it when people waste my time when I bothered to give them a detailed response. | ||
