Man, you guys must be the best at parties. Stop bringing a guy down because he's excited about what he's doing.

You make it sound like I put him down personally and somehow insulted his casting or something. I just felt like he was overhyping it. There are times when he gets excited about good plays and I agree with it. This time, I happened to disagree, simple as that. Disagreeing with how amazing a play was =/= bringing him down because he's excited about what he's doing.

And as a Canadian Scarlett had to get his blood on her hands today.
Not to take anything away from Scarlett though. Talk about an incredible performance. I really don't see how people can doubt her as a true rising star in the North American scene.

It was an amazing series of events. Not amazing play, because the repair was late, but the tank had 10HP left and had Polt repaired any later he would have lost. Pretty tense and exciting even though Polt should have repaired sooner.

To be fair to pajama's detractors he does come off as really fake if you have even a semi-decent bullshit detector. He overhypes, lacks analytical prowess and isn't very knowledgable about many of the foreign teams despite it being his job. I don't mind DoA but I think IPL could do a whole lot better with someone other than Mr Pajamas as their primary caster. Even HD and Painuser were better.. Speaking of that duo, whatever happened to them? I have not seen them do any content since IPL 3.

I think doa/cats are much much better than hd/painuser myself; hd/painuser left in feb

I also really like doa/cats, which is why I watch IPL every time it's on.
You can't have two analytical casters or two casters butting heads with their game knowledge. That is what happens sometimes with Wolf and Khaldor, they still have this tendency of interrupting each other when talking about the game (I still like them though). DoA is the one with game knowledge, while Cats' main purpose is to hype the game and make it sound exciting.

lol HD and Painuser were impossible to listen to because HD was basically a shout-caster and only did play-by-plays, which is fine if you pair him with somebody analytic like say Idra, but Painuser was pretty much the same, with similar game knowledge. I remember during IPL4, they bungled a lot of pretty easy calls. Also doesn't help that they get super excited a LOT and basically hype everything up.

Come on don't you know anything about the US? Anything we claim as ours shall be ours! Manifest Destiny doesn't just pertain to this side of the globe anymore!
Not saying HD and painuser were phenomenal, but I preferred them to Pajamas. For reference my favourite casters are apollo, artosis and khaldor. Those three are far and away the best the industry has to offer right now in my opinion.
I can understand your opinion, it didn't irritate me, but I thought what he hyped at the last game was a bit unexciting and anticlimatic. I love Kevin Knocke*, he's one of my top top favorites after Apollo, Artosis and Doa, it just happens to make casting mistakes. I'm forgiving on that. I had the same thoughts about Day9 today on the TSL qualifier EU/NA 9's finals, where it looked like he almost lost his voice, but these guys still perform well.
