I probably bring it up, because on one hand you have people at the same event talking up how cerebral the game is; on the other hand, you have casters doing non stop immature jokes. It's kind of an odd match to me. In fact, I don't really see it as a match at all. I would much prefer day[9] analyzing the games in the down time, for instance, than hearing your moma jokes. I have nothing against comedy and even the occasional crude joke. I just don't want to see it one after another in a SC event. It makes no sense to me.

Humor is very subjective and you will find very "cerebral" viewers are enjoying these "crude/immature jokes". Anyway, the demographics matter and clearly based on comments on various forums it's clear that you are in the minority.

They're speaking as if Moon is so far ahead, but I just really don't see it.

But having choice and variety in events is nice as well. There's plenty of highly professional tournaments (MLG, GSL, ..) so having a few 'casually' styled tournaments like HSC (and anything 2GD casts/hosts) isn't necessarily a bad thing. As long as it's all kept in good spirits ofcourse.
