He did not seem himself that game... blah blah blah, speculation, etc." Commentators do this sort of thing all the time, or at least call it like it is. If you were watching a basketball game and the other team was getting stomped on and was down 30 points would you really want the color commentator saying "Well, they're really pushing each other to the wall?" That being said, I don't really have a problem with Total Biscuit. He clearly works very hard to do his job. I do think the casting standards for this community are pretty low and in a few years when more retired players are casting we're going to look back on a lot of these games and think of how silly a lot of the analysis is. Wish my reply to his post was as good as yours. Quoting for the truth. Casters need to take a book out of Grubby and Idra's Casting, they just aren't good and dont seem to be getting better. I would even go so far to say that Day9 is the only 'caster' that doesn't make really bad mistakes all the time. Even artosis and tasteless call a few bad calls here and their, and are biased. in a year or two we will all be happy | ||

Speculation sounds like the best thing to do in the middle of like a 3 minute long engagement | ||

Yeah, and I could say much better things if I had the luxury of posting on a forum instead of casting live. Give the guy a break. | ||

To be fair, I think the non korean casters are easily a league below all the korean casters. | ||
