"annoying British accent" is also a pretty, well, annoying thing to say. what's he supposed to do, try to put on a fake accent for you? i found the Brexit reference a bit out of place, but funny cause it felt genuine and it's a pretty amusing situation to make a comment like that as a Brit in front of a European audience. but i can see people wanting to keep politics and sc2 apart. | ||

It got an audible laugh in the room, I didn’t mind it. I don’t understand what the issue is with his accent (heard this complaint a lot), DeMusliM, Kaelaris, Apollo, TB et al have accents that aren’t a million miles away from Grant’s. I’ve enjoyed his casting thus far, I like that he actually asks questions out of Lambo that kind of bridge the gap between casual knowledge and professional player levels of knowledge. I’m not overly fussy on casting I suppose, worst I tend to feel is ‘I wish this other caster I prefer was here’, not the ‘I had to mute the stream’ hyperbole I see all the time. Are other eSports like this with casters? SC2’s community is historically brutal to them in totally unproductive ways, I can only compare it to regular sport ball where commentators generally aren’t discussed at all (plus are bigger so there’s not really a community link between viewers and casters) | ||
