I am french, and i really prefer an english casting over a french one, even with the same "level of casting". But definitely not "all" the french people. P&T have a quite big fanbase in France, so definitely no. I said it before, butit's quite funny because the French people who don't like P&T have the same reasons of disliking them than the foreign people to like them(they yell too much, not enough analytic shoutcasting). Well, i enjoy the "spectacle shoutcasting" the most, maybe because i have enough game knowledge to actualy know what's going on. I would always favor a TB/Apollo cast over a Tastosis one, TB/Apollo is an awsome duo, Apollo balancing the "funny" side of TB by an impressive game knowledge. I would say DJ Wheat/Mr Bitter come after, and Tastosis in last(i realy can't enjoy them, ive tried a lot of times, i don't deny their game knowledge or anything, but you know it just does not suit me). Browse all the Thread and you'll see posts saying"WOw French casters are realy into it" or "They know how to work a crowd", all being by foreign people, whereas in some cases you'll see french comments like "I can't stand the non stop yelling" or "They are obviously lacking game knowledge". | ||

I didn't say they were bad (re-read my post), i actually think they're pretty good for the reasons you say. My point was that if french people switched to TB/Apollo during Iron Squid, it was NOT necessarily because they were bad. And moreover, different people enjoy different kind of casters. You seem not to like much tastosis, yet they have a lot of fans. It may be preferences for such or such casters, it may be preference for english over french, but not necessarily because they're bad casters, who they aren't, seeing the number of fans they have. | ||

Though i wasn't at ease by the "no trophy" moment, when Pomf handled MMA the helmet, and he looked a bit like "wtf is this ?" and then "wtf i look like while holding this ?" | ||

Sorry if you misunderstood, i didn't think for a second you said they were bad. Just wanted to highlight the fact that caracteristics of theses casers are considered as bad by some French people whereas they are considered as awsome by foreign people. | ||

Ok then, thought it was a direct answer to my statement. I feel the same, though i've not read many feedback about foreign people. I remember notably Liquid'TLO stating they were awesome | ||

O M F God. It was the best event I have ever attended to ! * the matches were all great and VERY exciting and nerve wrecking... You never knew who was gonna win ! * the french casters did a great job pumping up the crowd * the crowd was AMAZING. By far the best I have ever seen, we screamed SO SO SO much, for EVERY player, it was feeling great, all the passion, all the energy * MMA won !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! * The theme for each player was such a great idea. It adds SO MUCH to the tournament ! Apart from that, some technical difficulties and delay, and screen positioning problem for balcony 1, but well compaired to the + ... Thank you Iron Squid, thank you Pomf et Thud , thank you all the sponsors !I'm gonna do a little writeup in blog later ! | ||
