I like all the other guys and think they have great chemistries in various pairs, but I've never seen those two together and think it'd be a BLAST. could be really cool indeed! but I enjoy TB + apollo anyway  | ||

(No offence, I just do not like his style particularly, great for him tho) Oh well, will be exciting! Hmm I can understand that you don`t enjoy TB but atleast in my opinion Rob Simpson or JP aren't the most insightful casters either and TB is a better entertainer and fits very well with Apollo. | ||

Rotti is competing at MLG Anaheim, so it would be a conflict of interest anyway.  | ||

I think TB would be a fine caster if he just took the time to learn the game. I actually like his unique casting style, but the problem is that he doesn't understand the game at all. He never knows why a player does this or that, and when he thinks he understands and tries to explain it, his explanation is wrong more times than not. If your profession is going to be casting then I would at least expect a Masters level of understanding (if not Pro level, which is what he's casting after all), but his understanding is more along Silver/Gold and it shows in every cast he makes. Then, in practically every cast he has the audacity to heavily criticize a player for making a mistake when he doesn't even realize why that mistake was made, and sometimes it's not even a mistake, but a calculated opportunity cost decision that actually puts the player ahead. | ||

Sigh, another post without a single example of this actually happening. Really frustrating to read. "heavily criticizes a player practically every cast", that's nonsense. "explanation is wrong more times than not", examples please. One could say the reason I'm not "improving" (even though I am and my knowledge is clearly far better than it was) is that nobody in the community seems to have the capability to provide constructive criticism. It's the same old baseless tired cliches and never any actual evidence to back them or actionable advice. It's a get-out, it's easy to say "should know game better", it's hard to actually point out my mistakes. | ||
