The lack of professionalism in a finals casting is worst to me. Really turns me away. Not sure if it's just me tired of the nerd speed casting voice.

You're literally speaking out my thoughts.

Yup. I muted the cast which is just ridiculous for a finals. Kind of ruined the end for me. Gg taeja though!

Thing is that at some point, being "funny" doesn't work anymore. Also, it is kind of ironic to hear incontrol and destiny, who actually are not players of a huge caliber, saying that MC's decisions are "bad", "dumb", "worst shit ever" and so on. I feel sorry for ToD though, he's a decent caster both in terms of casual casting and professional casting.

Congratz Taeja!

Normanly i dont say things like that, but Destiny really made this final moment bad. Why is here casting the finals? there are 20 better peoples for this in the apartment...


Yeah tbh i don't know why people allow destiny to cast

like seriously the only thing i've really heard him do is complain about other casters and generally be passive-aggressive or aggressive-agressive. Let someone with meaningful knowledge and ability to cast take his place >.>

How does Taeja dominate MC like this? My zerg brain just does not understand TvP. MC is obviously a very good player, and up until now he performed as well as always in this tournament. He pretty much rolled Dayshi and Jjakji to get to this finals.

How did Taeja beat him like it was nothing?


he's the best late game TvPer and took 0 damage from MC ridiculous early game plays.
Zest fanboy.

MC played really bad. But not to take away from Taeja as I think he would still win with MC at his best

Great tournament. Finals were a bit disappointing gameplay-wise. Finals casting was a disgrace. With so many people around that can give insightful and funny commentary, why did they pick this lineup to cast the finals?

You know how there are bronze players with "bronze mechanics but GM game knowledge"?

Incontrol and Destiny have NA GM mechanics but GSL Code S game knowledge, duh.

Games were underwhelming, casting felt overly insulting. :/

I didn't expect to be so disappointed at the end of this tournament with how fun the other days were.


Edit: The casting was actually really horrible to listen to. I know it's supposed to be casual, but that was kind of beyond. God, I hope Destiny isn't actually casting MLG.

i dont give a shit about professionalism and i like hsc but destiny is really annoying and brings it down

Touché. I just hope I'll never get to see Destiny at a HomeStory Cup again, but I guess regarding Destiny, it's either hate or love the guy.

Its HSC, though. The entire tournament is like this. Not sure why you'd expect something else for the finals.


No, the entire tournament was full of good players casting and giving their input to the games and then we have crap finals


Maybe we watched different tournaments. I watched random progamers laugh at Rottis soundboard and harass each other verbally. Sometimes there were games being played at the same time, sometimes not. Was fun, though.


Yup. The finals wasn't much different than any other Destiny or iNcontroL or ToD cast throughout the past 4 days... and they (and Scarlett's use of the Rotti soundboard) made the commentary amazing.

He has a really fun personality.

There's a slight difference in saying "that was a bad decision/poorly executed" and "that shit's dumb". Also, since when does Steven "You can actually lift burrowed widow mines? Really?" Bonnell have GSL level game knowledge?
