Even if Life holds this, doesn't mean he's even/ahead | ||

Casters like Apollo and Kaeliris will look at an engagement and say "oh this is bad for x player", "oh what a mistake from this guy", "oh this is terrible", "what a bad move", "this player is in such a bad position". Whereas it's true, it just gives a negative spin to the game I feel. I much prefer Tasteless' play by play "ah zerg is moving forward now, looking for a favorable engagement", "oh player y is looking to do something with these lings" or "and now player x has managed to get a very good position in this game". In the case of an actual blunder, you hear "oh well that was an over-extension from the [race] player", "player x made a mistake and player y really managed to capitalize on that" or something which sounds a lot more smooth than ESL casters which spend 20 minutes shitting on everything they see. It's placebo, I know. But jesus I feel like the casting is really negative. Be more positive about what players are doing right. This is an excellent point. Casting should do two things: give the viewer greater knowledge and appreciation for the game, and be entertaining. Both are aimed at making it a better viewing experience. Positive casting as outlined above does this really well. It builds appreciation for the skill involved in SC2. In a negative cast, the only things to latch onto as a fan are negative. That means disappointment when thinking about your player, and anger when thinking of their opponent (both make mistakes, but your guy still loses!). Instead of building appreciation for the players, their skill and their decision making, every game becomes a Game of Throws. | ||

Or at least have a banelings nest ready. One "random" spore, 3 queens and blingnest ready is good. A blind spore is used by other players. | ||
