EPTCursing unnecessarily, and awkwardly. Arguing like prepubescent 12 years olds. Ridiculous.
Annoying as f@$%.

They're characters of the sc2 scene  But kinda polarising, you hate em or love em. | ||

I'm surprised they are still casting; there are much better people out there for the job, who would gain far more favour with viewers. They also seem to have limited knowledge of any match not including Zerg - they should not be casting high level games. | ||

Your post bitching about them looked pretty polarizing. I dont know, maybe you bitch often and that wasn't really "polarizing in your book". | ||

As loxely explained to you, they aren't traditional casters, and they shouldn't be held to that standard. If you've come for detailed analytical casting, this isn't the duo for you. It's fine to have an opinion on casters, but yours is in the minority in this case. The fact is they have tons of fans, and are pretty huge viewership grabs. | ||

A lot more than any caster not named ToD, Rotterdam, Grubby, Ret and a few other player-[sometimes]casters | ||

And yeah, any matchup that doesn't include zerg, I don't claim to be an expert in - but you're naive if you think casters, even your favorite ones have better knowledge than me on that regard. The fact that I don't make up shit and lie to you does not equate to me knowing less than your average caster. I'd just rather let the audience know that the information I give is based on speculation (altough its likely mostly accurate) than state facts that I am not sure about, like the average caster would. Again, if the caster isn't a pro- protoss or Terran player, with very VERY rare exceptions, they probably won't have better knowledge than me, regardless of the mu ~ zerg or not - and if it comes down to zerg, if the caster is casting in English, im pretty sure my knowledge is better. | ||

You guys spoke about the term pop/soda and what regions call it for almost 8 minutes into a match today. And discuss many other inane topics regularly when action is going on during games. You would be fine generally, but sound flat almost all the time; consider adding inflection in your conversation... monotone commentating is not pleasant. If you put some enthusiasm into it perhaps I would change my opinion. Destiny, however, is just plain awkward. Until there are changes, your duo will continue to provide some of the most aggravating casting in the pro SC2 scene. It's unfortunate when good games are ruined by poor casting. If you do this for a living, I would think you would want to improve upon your craft. | ||

If you do this for a living, I would think you would want to improve upon your craft. you just brought up completely different points than what I argued that being game knowledge and us being polarizing, I don't claim we're great casters, if you don't like our casting, that's perfectly fine there isn't one single thing that everyone likes, and ofc there's room for improvement as there is for anyone ever I never said otherwise. anyway to each their own, thanks for the 'feedback' and I don't do this for a living, your opinions are your opinions and that's cool, I care very little for them, especially cause of how you choose to present them. | ||

THEN WHY ARE YOU CASTING BRO? (I, too, can ignore the parts of a post I don't like; in addition...I can also deliver them in a smug AND disrespectful manner. If you talk or write for a living, I would sincerely suggest that you improve on your craft.) | ||
