Well then, major thanks to him as well. Thanks again! Gotta jet starting in 30 minutes. See everyone there.

Thanks for the LR again, Shellbot. You'd be in my top 100 posters of the year.

That's pretty much it.
oh give me a break. Thats what Stc gets for ignoring zealot runbys
You mean he didn't have walled up bunkers at the natural and a sim city for the PF? Or sensor towers? I don't actually think he ignores 40 supply of zealots, he was engaged in the main fight. You can't do both.
I'm pretty sure Huk and Demuslim don't practice against each other. Very few foreign teams have their members practice in house if they're not friends in the first place.

It's not the first time I've heard that Huk computer was terrible when he first played the game tho.
That was his excuse for all the all ins back in the beta yes. Most people accepted it as a true story back then. Plus you have to take into account the state of the game back then to understand (it was around hdh and him wanting to get invites to tournaments).
Not sure why he wouldn't change it, it isn't unheard of Innovation used to be called Bogus and he is as big or bigger than ever. Guess he likes the notoriety.
Weird to think how these two look to have crossed paths nowadays. Don't want to count my chickens in this group, but in terms of HoTS thus far I have been more consistently impressed with Demu's play than Huk's. Couple of years ago that would have been pretty unfathomable to think of

He's PvT has been pretty painful to watch for almost as long as I can recall man.
Mechanically he's capable of other styles, I don't really get why he hasn't evolved his playstyle since it stopped working for him, or hell even holding back some of his 'YOLO' builds to augment a more standard style.

His TvT is probably his best matchup. In general though he's just super solid. TvZ was always his weakest.

Ah, it depends. Mvp is fine for me because he kind of WAS the MVP of WoL. MMA is such a baller I allow his tenuous relationship to mixed martial arts to be his nick, and MC is his name so that gets a pass too.
Not sure if that series was WP by Demuslim or pretty badly played by Huk, or somewhere in between but nice to see the UK's finest advance to the winner's match.
Incidentally, Demu still hasn't been crowned our top dog. I propose another TB-endorsed War of the Roses, that was pretty fun last time

It has no individuality. He is not a muslim. Muhammed Ali happened to be a muslim. I don't even see the connection between liking a boxing champion and calling yourself "demuslim". Who referred to Ali as "that muslim"? or "da muslim"? or even "the muslim?" It's a bad name because it brings in a whole bunch of politically/racially charged connotation on an ID for a pasty white kid from the UK.
I much prefer words chosen seemingly at random by Korean players. At least those words are blank slates with minimal connotation and are usually abstract enough. Many are probably chosen for their aesthetically pleasing phonemes.
Demuslim is just a multisyllable abomination that is, at best, misleading and childish, and at worst, patently offensive.

The truthfulness of comments like this really upset me. The first tournament that really got me into the SC2 pro-scene was Dreamhack Summer 2011, seeing Huk win that tournament was incredible, now-days he just seems like an instant write-off, I really hope he can find his winning days form again.

I much prefer words chosen seemingly at random by Korean players. At least those words are blank slates with minimal connotation and are usually abstract enough. Many are probably chosen for their aesthetically pleasing phonemes.
Demuslim is just multisyllable abomination that is, at best, misleading and childish, and at worst, patently offensive.
How is it offensive?
Is Sangho a murderer? In that case, how dare he patently falsely advertise himself by calling himself Killer!

Did anyone see him micro his collosi as it's shooting against literally two marauders? while his whole army gets wrecked by marines just a stone throw away nearby?
Well, I was wrong on sC, I swear I'd heard it discussed before on SoTG or one of those shows. Luckily I have the likes of the Shelbot and StarVe to correct my ignorance (y)

Game 1 pretty boring. Hope Game 2 is more interesting.
Who are these casters? Blizzard on the lefthand side and NASL on the righthand side?
It's a pretty cool nick, rolls of the tongue nicely. The 'Killers' and 'Swaggers' of this world are much sillier nicks to me, but each to his own.
There could be even worse: what about another 2-3 letters acronym like MVP, MC, MMA, etc? Personally, the silliest is a nickname the more I like it even if there are some exceptions like Titan or NightEnd.
The silliest name is TheStC because it's literally supposed to be TheStarCraft.
sC vs TheStC showmatch to decide who can use the name of the game in their nick?

Huk's builds have never been exactly sound to say the least, but he used to be able to micro his way out of the awful spots he ended in, which isn't the case anymore.

Huk seemed stuck a bit between two paths. I liked the ideas he had been up to, but it wasn't as responsive to what Demuslim was up to. Just seemed like everything wasn't smooth.

In WCS EU there's a 5 minutes delay. I guess it's the same here.

I would be willing to bet there's at least a two minute delay as well. WCS is poorly designed, but the people who actually run the tournament have something in between their ears.

He's not actually a gun for hire, but did his military service as a sharpshooter iirc.
It's why he's so hated by the community. In armed conflict the PoWs who get the worst treatment also tend to be snipers, so I'd imagine there's a link then.

Whoa, so Sniper's just misunderstood? Now I feel bad for him.
So demuslim refers to M. Ali? And means " the Muslim"? I didn't know, but I like it in fact. And the "the" is no issue to me as this is sometimes us in French "le Tod" ae.

I think we should, from this point forward, measure rage in the quantity and scale of the balance changes demanded after the match.
The story I've heard Demu tell on stream is that when he was a kid, he saw Ali on TV and asked who he was (or perhaps "what" he was, as in his profession) and someone told him Ali was a muslim. He got confused, as kids do, and thought muslim was what we call a boxer.
Or something a lot like that anyway, 'twas a while ago.

I wonder what IgnE would think of my TL nickname.
There is a special place in nickname hell for the likes of you.
He doesn't execute the greedier, dual-forge styles particularly smoothly and his timings don't look all mapped out, and the playstyles that he is comfortable with aren't particularly effective at the highest level.
It wasn't THAT long ago that he got out of Up/Downs, despite the frequent jokes his army control is pretty good for the most part.
Perhaps he needs a break, or a change in environment, or something to break him out of a rut that appears as much mental to me as it is to do with his skillset.
I find it really interesting that Demuslim always hits around the 14 minute timing and every game Huk had exactly 1 collosus without range and a bunch of random gateway units that don't even count.
I'm no expert in pvt, but wouldn't First's style be better suited against this timing. Getting templar first then go into collosi....

I guess you have no experience with muslims being offended over more trivial matters?
"TheMuslim" would be less offensive, even if it's still childish and misleading, to distill Ali's multifaceted character as a world champion boxer, humanitarian, and leader into the label "muslim". Which both now, and back then, has connotations of "the Other" to most westerners. But adding the slang "de" in front further diminishes the man and associates the term "muslim" with lower class, pidgin-speaking foreigners. And the guy who has this ID is a male-privileged white kid.

HuK's builds look just a little bit too 'middle of the road,' and it doesn't help that he misses his twilight timing fairly often...two idle double forges aren't so fun.
Also I claim victory over this 'your ID should match what you are' business.

As long as you don't stay on pure gate units forever you can hold whatever terran attack is coming.
Huk just kinda...picks a random idea and sticks with it wether it's good or bad. I've seen him: not get aoe vs terran for insanely long not get colossi vs zerg going swarm host go tempest vs colossi while having a one base econ in pvp
If you can somehow engage more than perfectly yeah you MIGHT be able to pull off silly shit like that, but generally it's never, ever, EVER going to work vs someone of even skill. Huk could do it in 2011 because he IS really damn good at battle tactics and micro, especially on a good day, but now he's just fallen off so he gets punished for stupid builds like those. I mean, he DID defend a 4gate with a double gas first mothership rush once in beta...

I much prefer words chosen seemingly at random by Korean players. At least those words are blank slates with minimal connotation and are usually abstract enough. Many are probably chosen for their aesthetically pleasing phonemes.
Demuslim is just a multisyllable abomination that is, at best, misleading and childish, and at worst, patently offensive.
Offensive..? Really? How could it in any way be offensive to anyone?
I guess you have no experience with muslims being offended over more trivial matters?
"TheMuslim" would be less offensive, even if it's still childish and misleading to distill Ali's multifaceted character as a world champion boxer, humanitarian, and leader into the label "muslim". Which both now, and back then, has connotations of "the Other" to most westerners. But adding the slang "de" in front further diminishes the man and associates the term "muslim" with lower class, pidgin-speaking foreigners. And the guy who has this ID is a male-privileged white kid.
1. Ali branded himself in that manner at times. 2. The 'pidgin English' is how a lot of the youth speak in England, especially in inner-city London. I gather Demu is from Nottingham, and being unaware of the parlance there can't really speak for that area.
I love how you are defended the honour of Muslims, but your justification for speaking for that rather large subsection of the world's population is that 'they get offended over trivial matters'

All righty then. I guess I'll just live on in my fairy land where no one's ever been offended by DeMuslim's nickname. I'm naive, I know.

Branded himself as a Muslim and made it a pretty big deal, it wasn't something in the background. He renamed himself from Cassius Clay, etc etc. He wasn't a shrinking violet on the topic, and it was a pretty big part of his public identity was my point.

What does that last bit say? I don't speak Viking.
Oh last huk-related post: while we wrote the pvz guide, a friend of mine wanted to call the gimmicky build section "what the huk just happened???". I'm still waiting to use that name for a guide.

As long as you don't stay on pure gate units forever you can hold whatever terran attack is coming.
Huk just kinda...picks a random idea and sticks with it wether it's good or bad. I've seen him: not get aoe vs terran for insanely long not get colossi vs zerg going swarm host go tempest vs colossi while having a one base econ in pvp
If you can somehow engage more than perfectly yeah you MIGHT be able to pull off silly shit like that, but generally it's never, ever, EVER going to work vs someone of even skill. Huk could do it in 2011 because he IS really damn good at battle tactics and micro, especially on a good day, but now he's just fallen off so he gets punished for stupid builds like those. I mean, he DID defend a 4gate with a double gas first mothership rush once in beta...

Obviously it was a big part of his identity. But renaming himself and saying he wouldn't go to war for religious reasons and celebrating islamic holidays is not equivalent to saying "i am The Muslim".
"Muhammed" and its variations would be a better name than "demuslim" "Ali" would be even better
It's not about whether ali/ben is a muslim at all. The problem is that the ID "demuslim" is borderline racial/ethnic epithet territory.

Well, in almost every game/sport, the longer game favors the better team. If we're going to accept that all Koreans are better than all foreigners, yes, it would seem foolhardy.
In reality, I think he can do it but Protoss splash and instant remax if unmolested will destroy Terran bio/viking/ghost.
Huk seems to just... Not study what Top protosses are doing and does his own thing. It used to work but now his style just seems incredibly antiquated.

Well, some players are good at longer games over shorter games, I've been impressed by Crank's lategame management
It would be like taking on Hasuobs in a turtling game, it plays into his comfort zone. That said I do think Demuslim is playing this out pretty well here, good positioning and posturing at present

Demuslim seems to have gone unidirectional. He wants to win one major fight, but Crank probably won't give him one and will just slowly whittle him down.

It's silly when terran complain that protoss just "remax" after the big battle, and them not being able to, and neglect the fact that the toss adds gateways throughout the entire game, and terrans usually stop at like 9ish rax

The first part of my point is true (longer games favor better teams/players), but we're past that point (cheese, mostly). The rest of it was just a silly joke of an argument.
Losing that base wasn't good. He has to keep floating CCs over. I'm scared CranK's going to keep up on even bases and just be able to remax faster and use splash to his advantage. I think this super late scenario favors Protoss unless Terran goes BC or something else.

In his defence, if an army like that he's accumulated gets wiped, it's rare that you'll get a chance to rebuild it even with a hell of a lot of Rax before the Toss is countering onto your production.

more production > less production. he needs to get units quickly to not die if he loses the army too badly.

In this kind of situation from my experience if the Terran dies in a fight, he's dead anyway regardless of the production he's got up behind it.
He's been saccing SCVs/not replacing ones he's lost etc trying to get this monster army and pretty much has to win with what he's got.

this game is pretty intesnse but it looks like demuslim is gonna win!
crank never had enough of anything, templars, colossus, or archons.... when you have a huge bank you need to go BIG or go home . if Crank had 20 colossus then he kills the bio, then remaxes on archons. to kill the vikings and the rest of the army , if he goes all archons the vikings are useless and then he just has to storm the ghosts and remax on zealot/archon.
crank didn't have a late late late game army plan like desmuslim did. demuslim had ghosts viking medivak marauder... pretty ideal

Yeah Crank just kept on throwing Zealots away and replacing them with more Zealots.
WP Demuslim thus far. Albeit he had to do it the old-fashioned way, but nice to finally see him in Premier. Still a bit sore he didn't get an invite in the first place dagnabbit

To be fair, that usually works surprisingly well, and the one time out of ten where it did work (with that warp prism) the damage to production was pretty significant. Demu just seems to have excellent crisis management.
Crank moving his entire army behind his 6th and then charging demuslim out through the choke created by nexus and gas in single file was kind of silly.
Wow, super-patient, clinical stuff there by DeMusliM. I remember he did the whole phasing out marines for ghosts thing against BlinG at the WCS UK finals last year and it was brutal.
It would be amazing if he could make a clean sweep of this group - I won't get carried away just yet though!

He did miscalculate though, he did a BIG DT warpin just as Demu's main army was popping back in. Unfortunate timing, but a big throwaway of cashola there.
Demuslim is impressing me here, regardless of advancing. Pretty solid play, and like you say his crisis management looked good, which among foreigners and especially T foreigners oft seems to be a weakness.

Agreed. Demu has showed that Huk just isn't on the same level and he did demolish STC in challenger league to get here. Problem is he's a player who can go on tilt pretty heavy, that's why I'd rather he wins this now while he still has morale/momentum.

The same as Zerg in ZvT once 3/3 for bio is researched. Is still doable if you micro perfectly and your opponent luckly makes a mistake, but the ideal outcome for you would be to prevent this kind of situation.

I think "nudie bar" is also American. Originally here they were called "Gentlemen's Clubs" but everyone I know calls them strip clubs.
By the way, "British people" is a bit stupid. People from different parts of Britain have very, very different idioms and phrasing. Not to mention the accents, of course. Makes it a bit foolish to say things like "British people" or "British accent".

Do most Brits really care that much about it? From an American perspective it just seems funny and highly anachronistic.
Do italians actually care about what the Pope has to say in tv - which happens about once every two news broadcasts? I bet the vast majority doesn't, exactly like english people.
It's one of those things that are "interesting" because they are supposed to be, rather than for genuine importance. Guess it's important only for few people...

For the non-UK types - there is a massive amount of interest about the royal baby (the newspapers wouldn't dedicate a lot of coverage to it if it wasn't going to make them money, and it will have done) but at the same time there are a lot of people who aggressively don't care, which is also fine. It'd be daft to suggest that "no one cares".
I've heard of a lot of British people abroad at the moment in countries like the US and Japan getting asked incessantly on their views about it.

Well I'd call English people English, Welsh people Welsh, Scottish people Scottish and Irish people Irish.
If you really got into the accents you'd be able to figure out Scousers, Brummies, Geordies, Cornish, Cockney and so on. But that's not really necessary.
Of course not. There's huge differences between, say, a Boston accent and an Arkansas one.

It pisses me off massively because it is so anachronistic. It's pathetic really, you can't imagine quite how omnipresent it was on the news and how nauseatingly fawning the coverage was unless you actually live here

PRobably the same people who care about celeb news care about the royal baby, and also some posh people and old people seem to love that stuff. I'm around none of these people though so I hear considerably more about how people don't care.

Essentially this, I mean it depends on background and stuff but I have genuinely met nobody of my generation that particularly cares about the Royals. Much more are aggressively anti-monarchy. Bit more of an even split with the equally obnoxious celebrity thing

yea guess so then
"fan favorite" is different from "favorite"
so i guess he just mispoke
That's what I figured.

Is that what British people call a strip club?
I think "nudie bar" is also American. Originally here they were called "Gentlemen's Clubs" but everyone I know calls them strip clubs.
By the way, "British people" is a bit stupid. People from different parts of Britain have very, very different idioms and phrasing. Not to mention the accents, of course. Makes it a bit foolish to say things like "British people" or "British accent".
I apologize for my ignorance. What should I call people from the UK then? Just wondering, do you think Americans have an "American" accent then? I'm curious.
Also, they're strip/gentlemen's club in the US too.
Well I'd call English people English, Welsh people Welsh, Scottish people Scottish and Irish people Irish.
If you really got into the accents you'd be able to figure out Scousers, Brummies, Geordies, Cornish, Cockney and so on. But that's not really necessary.
Of course not. There's huge differences between, say, a Boston accent and an Arkansas one.
Okay, so you would go by country of origin? That makes sense.
I know almost nothing about the geography of England/UK (I would be interested to learn about it one day).
It seems you're a more worldly person than I am :D
Yeah, we tend to be more geographically aware.
That's not slight against you personally, rather the US education system. Seems so many Americans struggle at putting things on a map. Most people I know have a pretty good understanding of world geography.

It's genuinely a matter of replacing 'England' with the 'UK' and one of the chief annoyances for many of us is avoided. Uk/British is a blanket term that people don't mind

Do most Brits really care that much about it? From an American perspective it just seems funny and highly anachronistic.
It pisses me off massively because it is so anachronistic. It's pathetic really, you can't imagine quite how omnipresent it was on the news and how nauseatingly fawning the coverage was unless you actually live here
Throw out your television (or better yet, just the antenna/cable subscription). Don't read daily newspapers. Subscribe to something more serious for your intake of national news (for example, a monthly national politics journal), or visit similar websites.
I have started doing this about 10 years ago (when I started my higher education), and never regretted doing so.

I'm not a big hater on casters, but one thing I notice is of late a lot of the American casters have voices that are rather annoying and homogenised or something?
There's a lot of varience in accents within the States, seems curious that so many of the casters I'm seeing lately sound the same

It's unfortunately true in a college level government course we were asked by our professor to label 45 countries on a map. Many were glaringly obvious and I thought frankly elementary. The class average was 16 correct countries...
It's not like everyone in our country is dumb but we seem to have such a self-centered overall feeling amongst students that they find knowledge about other countries trivial and uninteresting. It's sad.

It pisses me off massively because it is so anachronistic. It's pathetic really, you can't imagine quite how omnipresent it was on the news and how nauseatingly fawning the coverage was unless you actually live here
Throw out your television (or better yet, just the antenna/cable subscription). Don't read daily newspapers. Subscribe to something more serious for your intake of national news (for example, a monthly national politics journal), or visit similar websites.
I have started doing this about 10 years ago (when I started my higher education), and never regretted doing so.
You can do that, and it does mitigate it. In terms of work and socialising it's pretty difficult to avoid. Ideally I will get a nest egg and emigrate to Alaska where I can live in a shack in the wilderness, with numerous PCs and alternate between tracking bears and sitting in an E-sports nerve centre.

Is that what British people call a strip club?
I think "nudie bar" is also American. Originally here they were called "Gentlemen's Clubs" but everyone I know calls them strip clubs.
By the way, "British people" is a bit stupid. People from different parts of Britain have very, very different idioms and phrasing. Not to mention the accents, of course. Makes it a bit foolish to say things like "British people" or "British accent".
I apologize for my ignorance. What should I call people from the UK then? Just wondering, do you think Americans have an "American" accent then? I'm curious.
Also, they're strip/gentlemen's club in the US too.
Well I'd call English people English, Welsh people Welsh, Scottish people Scottish and Irish people Irish.
If you really got into the accents you'd be able to figure out Scousers, Brummies, Geordies, Cornish, Cockney and so on. But that's not really necessary.
Of course not. There's huge differences between, say, a Boston accent and an Arkansas one.
Okay, so you would go by country of origin? That makes sense.
I know almost nothing about the geography of England/UK (I would be interested to learn about it one day).
It seems you're a more worldly person than I am :D
Yeah, we tend to be more geographically aware.
That's not slight against you personally, rather the US education system. Seems so many Americans struggle at putting things on a map. Most people I know have a pretty good understanding of world geography.
I also went to a good schools and am pretty well educated.
hmmmmm
a typo isn't the best example to use when trying to be an asshole and call the guy stupid ><

These current casters are fill-in's and are virtually unknown. Don't think they'll be returning after NASL takes full control.
Then again, I have no clue why the NASL casters aren't casting all the WCS AM games at the moment. Probably another "great idea" from the Blizzard Mothership
yes seems they just make stuff up as they go along...
I think he meant to say the favorite in the match, not the fan favorite.
yea guess so then
"fan favorite" is different from "favorite"
so i guess he just mispoke
That's what I figured.

It's unfortunately true in a college level government course we were asked by our professor to label 45 countries on a map. Many were glaringly obvious and I thought frankly elementary. The class average was 16 correct countries...
It's not like everyone in our country is dumb but we seem to have such a self-centered overall feeling amongst students that they find knowledge about other countries trivial and uninteresting. It's sad.
I think I wouldn't do too well in that, I'm pretty bad with maps actually. I'd beast a countries/capitals or trivia test, but I am woeful about maintaining map knowledge :p

I don't know, AxelToss were the same for me. I like Axslav especially, but together their intonation was a bit much, breaking them up and sticking them with other voices would have fixed it for me.
It's hard to articulate, but you know the way there's a kind of archetypal 'American News Anchor' or 'TV Host', and you see so many of them kind of blend into one? That's kinda what I mean

There are certain excusable mistakes of course. I didn't get all of them correct. However, when someone could not correctly label the location of the USA or Mexico, I got worried.

I think the casters migrated to World of Tanks and probably this seasons schedule overlapped. These were old casters at the end of IPL. After the golden age of Doa + Kevin.

I don't think it's the American accent (some of the best casters, like Artosis, are American). While a British accent may sound exotic, classy, and remind people of football commentators, just having a British accent won't make one a good caster.
I think the problem with these casters is that they don't really add value to the caster. During the game, they'll say things like "thermal lance starting up", and that would be it. Now if I was blind or couldn't watch the stream, that would help. But I can see those things happening, so pointing it out in the cast and not going further and giving analysis doesn't add "value". The use of cliches doesn't help either ("it was the critical mistakes that lost him that game").
So neither of these guys are really good at analysis. But what about play by play, or just building excitement? Unfortunately, they haven't quite gotten that either. Some casters like Nathanias may not be the best at analysis, but they can generate excitement. But unfortunately, these casters have not yet mastered the art of generating excitement without sounding fake.

That's kind of what I'm getting at, they have that kind of nasally 'forced' voice that is a bit grating to me as it's a bit reminiscent of other examples of fakery in American broadcasting. It's perhaps not fair, but equally these guys aren't great on the content front either.
I mean imagine if a Valley girl casted, wouldn't matter if her analysis was good, some voices are just a bit grating.
Actually feel it's a bit of an elephant in the room as regards casting. I do accept that it's subjective on my part, but whenever the 'how do you break into casting?' question is aired, rarely if ever does anybody see to ask 'do you have an annoying voice?, if yes, it's probably not for you'.

I think you're mixing up what I consider the "radio broadcast" voice and a nasally voice. Montecristo is a great version of the former - usually, proper "radio" voices are NOT nasally (since a nasally voice would usually be the opposite of the very clear radio voice) - they are, however, very forceful and often overly precise, and you can tell that there's a kind of "fakeness" to the emotion generated (maybe because they lack a certain range, always being forceful, or maybe because the overly polished tones). Nasally voices, on the other hand, are just nasally sounding voices, and a separate issue.
It's subjective to the extent in which a person might tolerate or prefer such a voice, but I think we can also agree that there are those are objective qualities of a voice. It's also not really an American issue - I consider TB to be an English version of the radio broadcast voice.

Honestly, the biggest thing for me that makes a caster good or bad is whether or not they have a "foreigner bias" which, unfortunately, these two have.

There's a lot of varience in accents within the States, seems curious that so many of the casters I'm seeing lately sound the same
I don't think it's the American accent (some of the best casters, like Artosis, are American). While a British accent may sound exotic, classy, and remind people of football commentators, just having a British accent won't make one a good caster.
I think the problem with these casters is that they don't really add value to the caster. During the game, they'll say things like "thermal lance starting up", and that would be it. Now if I was blind or couldn't watch the stream, that would help. But I can see those things happening, so pointing it out in the cast and not going further and giving analysis doesn't add "value". The use of cliches doesn't help either ("it was the critical mistakes that lost him that game").
So neither of these guys are really good at analysis. But what about play by play, or just building excitement? Unfortunately, they haven't quite gotten that either. Some casters like Nathanias may not be the best at analysis, but they can generate excitement. But unfortunately, these casters have not yet mastered the art of generating excitement without sounding fake.
That's kind of what I'm getting at, they have that kind of nasally 'forced' voice that is a bit grating to me as it's a bit reminiscent of other examples of fakery in American broadcasting. It's perhaps not fair, but equally these guys aren't great on the content front either.
I mean imagine if a Valley girl casted, wouldn't matter if her analysis was good, some voices are just a bit grating.
Actually feel it's a bit of an elephant in the room as regards casting. I do accept that it's subjective on my part, but whenever the 'how do you break into casting?' question is aired, rarely if ever does anybody see to ask 'do you have an annoying voice?, if yes, it's probably not for you'.
I think you're mixing up what I consider the "radio broadcast" voice and a nasally voice. Montecristo is a great version of the former - usually, proper "radio" voices are NOT nasally (since a nasally voice would usually be the opposite of the very clear radio voice) - they are, however, very forceful and often overly precise, and you can tell that there's a kind of "fakeness" to the emotion generated (maybe because they lack a certain range, always being forceful, or maybe because the overly polished tones). Nasally voices, on the other hand, are just nasally sounding voices, and a separate issue.
It's subjective to the extent in which a person might tolerate or prefer such a voice, but I think we can also agree that there are those are objective qualities of a voice. It's also not really an American issue - I consider TB to be an English version of the radio broadcast voice.
You do raise a good point, I think it's probably a cultural difference in terms of how sportscasting in general is approached. There are certain standards in the US and over in the UK that are noticeably different, but they are somewhat difficult to isolate.
I am rather surprised that Crank is trying this again, ballsy mindgames

Cmon Huk.... I know you wanna do your best to never make your fans happy again but just pull this one last match out and at least make it to the ro16.
WCS Production is amazing. I just wish Bitterdam were casting the entirety of the premier league. We get MORE than enough of these guys during Challenger. Kibblez isn't all that bad as a play by play would do well with a good analytical co-caster, definitely come a long way since IPL. But the other guy is beyond awful.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CRANK wow... I liked you. Now I don't. Double cheese = I don't like you anymore.
I think Huk overcommitted with that attempt to mineralwalk his probes the first time. Pulled the worker advantage he had so didn't get the resources, and missed the surround to boot.
why would huk go for only 1gateway and delay his core by chronoing zealots even though he knew about the proxy play? anyway crank played well despite cross server lags

Yeah, the attempt to mineral walk, and then don't bother to mineral walk. I don't have a clue why he didn't do that, he might have been able to squash the attack right there.
Man, Crank had sick micro in that game. Kept on picking off units while saving stalkers and building up a good count of them. That has to be so frustrating to watch as a Huk fan.

In case you haven't heard yet, Ro16 on is 100% NASL casters.

I hate to say it but it's PvP and against a Korean who is playing from a cross server disadvantage. He shouldve been especially careful looking for cheese.
That was very smart from Crank. Huk didn't expect a proxy build for the second time. That's why he didn't checked the proxy locations and went straight into the enemy base with his scouting probe.
Meh, skipping Group A. Group B Group of Life nobody will be worse than Minigun (sorry to be mean) Group C will be interesting Group D obvious Group of Death, besides maybe GA but to me Group D is the hypest.
I've figured out what word I would use to describe the commentary. The word of the day iiisssss:
"Vapid!"
A lot of disingenuous hype and seemingly little original thought. It's really obvious they have voices in their ears telling them what to do, as well (not that having those voices is bad, it's just really apparent). Not that commentating is easy, but has certainly not suited my tastes.
In regards to the actual groups, they look pretty awesome. Wouldn't have minded a different reveal method though.

should either allow the chinese players to play online just to make up 4 definite slots, or, alternatively, host a play off to make up the slots... imo, having a 3 player group is unacceptable :/

Maybe blizzard can send representatives to China to watch over Jim and macsed games. IG can pay all the flight and hotel costs. This might be a good compromise.

just think it ruins the entire ro16 if multiple groups only have 3 players... plus, its unfair on the groups that have 4 players surely?

I miss WCS being about who was the best in the country.
Not going to lie, the last WCS United States was very very embarrassing after the silver medalist daisuki turned out to be a maphacker.
wasn't that only ladder though? Not saying that's not terrible but I'm 99% sure he didn't do it in any tournaments or anything.
Again not saying that that isn't bad but you make it sounds like it was worse than it was
that's exactly it.. a guy that maphacked ladder was able to land 2nd place at an offline tourney
If I remember correctly he was actually a pretty good player (by NA pro standards) and it was something about his sponsors wanting more views that led him to do what he did.
