That was really depressing and embarrassing. He didn't know the Zerg's home world?! Let alone say the wrong thing even though people were shouting him the answer. Yet again there are several tournaments going on in the same venue so I guess its possible he's not a BW/SC2 fan.

Idra and Incontrol are an amazing caster duo this is true . . .

Honestly, I hate to bring this up but I feel that it's the elephant in the room that people are refusing to talk about . . . I think that I was 1 of about 15k people who had to tune out during Ret vs Alicia yesterday because of Frodan/Gretorp casting. The stream dropped from 55k to 37k, and I really don't think it was because of the players.

No one wants to say anything negative about Frodan/Gretorp because they're such nice people, me incuded, but should they really be casting this? It's like listening to your friend sing karaoke horribly, you don't want to say anything but you can barely stand to listen. It's affecting the tournament numbers IMO.


They're not as good as some other casters out there, that is obviously true, but you can't really just remove them when they are a huge part of what made this happen.


Yeah, seems like NASL is kind of stuck. Also, I don't think the stream lost 18k viewers instantly after Stephano's game because it was simpy late in EU. Ret is a pretty damn popular EU player as well.


Here's what I think, it was a combination of :

- The casting
- MC vs Stephano basically decided the whole tournament, Ret vs Alicia did indeed feel like a match for 2nd/4th place.
- It was getting late for EU

Now I don't know how much each of these factors weigh in for viewership loss, It's possible the casting is the #1 reason or It's possible one of the other two are. I don't think you can blame the casting alone for the viewership drop though.



This explanation sounds more likely and reasonable. I personally tuned out due to the casters, but I'm sure there were a variety of reasons.

I'm a sc2 fan and masters zerg, but I didn't know the answer. Who cares about lore?

The girl doing the 'hosting' did a playboy shoot. Not a porn star.

How is it sad? I've played starcraft since it came out and have no freaking clue. Most pros wouldn't know either considering they never play story mode.

Why do they say Canada all the time and not Toronto? I've never heard someone say USA if they are in - for example - Anaheim.

its mainly americans doing the broadcasting... and i imagine that this is how they view the country.
also, they are trying to emphasize the fact that the NASL is the first eSports organization to grow some balls, and actually put an event in canada.
