Please, complain about the casting some more. It's not even particularly constructive, it's 'I don't personally like Destiny' masquerading as something more insightful.

I enjoy the lack of seriousness and all that HSC always delivers, if nothing else as a counterpoint to a lot of the (IMO) overly serious 'professionalism' that we see for much of the rest of the time.


Basically....

Finals was boring. Destiny's fake hype was not

The lack of seriousness (commentating) made the frustratingly-underwhelming finals feel better. It was a good counterbalance to that.

Wow, Taeja is boring as hell. Thank god Destiny, ToD and Incontrol made that finals entertaining to at least listen to.


How is it boring to play solidly for four games and dominate your opponent? What about MC stubbornly sticking with useless oracles for so long? Taeja played an excellent series. TvP is going to be MMMM with viking / ghost late game. That is the design of the game and Taeja does it as a good as anyone in the world.

His scouting, positioning, and fighting were top notch, NOT boring.

EDIT: a word

The finals were the worst part about this homestory cup.

As usual. 3 of the last 4 HSC finals have ended with a 4-0.

No people weren't whining about Destiny they were whinging about professionalism. I'm sorry that you weren't included in my "people", I'll make sure to give you more attention from now on.

(Although at this point, no one should be suprised that Destiny does what he does. He certainly wasn't acting out of norm.)

My enjoyment of HSC is also in part due to me getting hammered myself for much of the weekend, I feel a blood alcohol kinship with those fine warriors over there

A bit sad to see all this complaining crowning what has been an extremely enjoyable tournament. I think Incontrol is the best caster in the world, and Destiny is a charismatic guy who is good at making boring games entertaining. It is not like they were not rotating casters, and during the course of the tournament there were often more than 8 streams to choose from if you for some reason had a problem with one of the casters.

yeah, i agree. whenever i see someone who is clearly not comfortable in a suit wearing a suit (shoutout to Apollo and Day9), it's really off-putting to me. i don't understand what the point of the super professionalism is even supposed to be, just makes the whole thing feel stiff and 'un-fun', when fun is what it's all about. it's a video game ffs! HSC is clearly my favorite tournament to watch and TakeTV is the only e-sports thing i have ever subscribed to (besides GSL before they cost a monthly salary).

however, i don't personally like Destiny.

I like destiny. Can't understand the hate towards him, this finals was terrible in terms of game quality, might as well have a silly cast along with it. I'd rather have a funny cast like this than freaking Kaelaris or someone desperately trying to hype a one-sided roflstomp.
