I'm just sick and tired of negative casting.

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.


This is a great point and counterpoint to my previous post. I might even change my mind about casters because of it. Thanks dude.

I'd love to see Life play Inno in an even game on Steps of War.


Back in my day you had to hold off proxy 11/11 in close spawn metalopolis.

back in my day, i would two pylon block zerg ramps


back in our day idra complained about 1 supply 2 armor roaches not being strong enough.


back in our day siege research completed too fast

Not too far back in our day, warhound was a completely legit thing.



until the day I got a beta key and it was removed

StarTale had these players:

Bomber, Squirtle, Parting and Life. And every once in a while you could get a godlike game from Curious. Its not a kespa training regime, but its pretty good.


And then once in a career you could get a godlike game from Ace.


Ace vs B4 convinced me HT warp prism was the future.

yeah fuckin protoss players didnt learn from that amazing game

somehow. I watched it for a bit. was boring. everyone dies so fast you can barely appreciate skill. much rather watch halo 2 or 3 for FPS.
