Ret placing second would even be considered an upset, and he's Zerg. So much for "Zerg ridiculously weak". | ||

No excuses to be made, but I have taken every comment into consideration. Thanks very much for the feedback  I was mostly concerned about making sure I didn't talk too fast during this cast, now I have a new focus!Well done, Nathanias. I enjoyed your cast a lot. I especially like your frank and sincere approach. You told the viewers exactly what was going on when faced with things that no caster should be forced to react to, like being dropped from a game. The classical music was an especially good touch. As for criticism (because you asked for it rather than because I felt that there was something seriously wrong): a) The observing issue. b) Your headgear was a bit silly. This does not affect the cast at all, but in between you could have left a more serious impression. c) Talking more about the game and the possible ways the game might unfold (ie. they are doing a gas on 13, that can lead to build X, or Y) is incredibly interesting at this phase of the game (ie. pre-release). You should do more of that. There's an incredible amount of down-time, so you have enough time for the more general comments like "SH are invisible when burrowed and they shoot out free units". | ||

I seriously can't afford to buy another one lol. I'm looking into it at the moment, but the standalone mic I was sent has way too many problems with my current environment so I'm stuck until I can get a better headset solution. I of course would like to be as professional as possible, but until someone contracts you casting is 99% volunteer work and I would hate to waste what little money I have on a headset that might not even be good. So many companies make flimsy headsets @_@ | ||

But then I fell asleep. I don't know if I'm getting old or I'm just not die hard enough anymore but I fell asleep. Only to wake up as day one finished. I have to give IEM huge credit; the (edit Free VODs are already up loaded and great quality. I think they could only top this by uploading the replays themselves. Still great stuff so far from IEM. | ||

This is not how you balance a game obviously but you get what I mean. Ret placing second would even be considered an upset, and he's Zerg. So much for "Zerg ridiculously weak". Ret himself said he did well today because he didnt face any tough terrans the one good terran he did play the game was not even close and widow mines were a huge factor I would say we dont have near enough evidence either way | ||

Will definitely try to watch the next day. Thanks for your hard work. | ||
