I don't get JP and Rob. Rob's a really good color commentator when he has an Artosis/Wolf/Day9/Apollo next to him, but with JP?

It's the blind leading the blind.

Rob maybe It's a good commentator, but starcraft wise I find him really terrible 8for the moment)

Rob Simpson. JP has no business casting. From what I heard he did this same thing in WoW, weaseled into casting because he's got friends in high places and works for MLG and was considered a joke caster there too. He does great for the scene with SotG and he's a fine host but he has no business casting. He's monotone, dull and has a slight lisp for petes sake, a sports caster would never get a job with a voice and personality like his. Not to mention no history with Starcraft before he came over from WoW. Haters gonna hate though, I guess MLG doesn't really care so more power to JP for cashing in.

This is exactly how PvZ should be played right now. Big 2 base pushes, punish the greedy third.

It reminds me of broodwar, when zerg started double expanding, protoss would just push out with speedlot archon +1 for a while and destroy the third. Eventually zergs stopped playing so greedy (and learned to sim city T_T).

It's worth it. Ultimate quality is pretty much flawless.

I love to read posts like this. It shows how spoiled people have become and what a long way we have come!

You charge people to pay for them to be able to watch a tournament, as in games being played. Not some uninteresting filler content, vacant seats or a general view of the audience. How would you feel about a 40min break between periods of a sports game...

Settings take roughly 5 minutes to set up. Drivers...? Are you serious...its not like they have macros, nearly everything is plug and play now. Warmup? They've been playing hours before, and most are fresh out of a game as it is.

They could have more booths so that players can be ready after a small wrapup by casters, say 5-10min to do a game/series review. They could have profiles in windows with mouse sensitivity/acceleration/sound and accessories set up.

Anyway rant over, back to games.
