I must say tho those semi-fun Redbull Wardi+Rotti casts were AMAZING, I really like that casting combo and hope they get to cast together more often in the future. Rotterdam is a god tier caster in terms of meshing with others. | ||

Also, I think the Wardi, ZG, rotti casts are great. Couldn't help but laugh at ZG's imagining how we'd react if Risky beat serral 2-0...well, 2-1. | ||

Everyone is certainly competent at their job and even quite knowledgeable but to me, the online crew of ZG/Maynard/Wardi/Feardragon really don't bring much consistent entertainment/excitement, which kind of like the players, has been missing from the scene. Just my opinion, I'm really appreciative to everyone for keeping SC2 going and Wardi for being the one man wrecking crew of online tournaments. So we need more Total Biscuit or Incontrol basically. Hype during the big fights. Or like in LoL where during the fights, they shout and talk faster and everything. | ||

I truly though that at Katowice this year I showed what I could do with my casting. Lots of hype and energy, lots of game knowledge, meta knowledge, details about how the players play and their form lately etc. I went into the event with something to prove and I really think I did it. Can't cast that every day of the week though, especially on long solo casts that go every day. You're talking about the difference of casting 4-5 series in a day where you are looked after, have time to prep for each series before you cast it, time to rest your voice and get ready to go for the cast, vs sitting in my room I sit in every day, for the 10th day straight doing 8+hours and casting online tournaments which in general are not as exciting because there is less on the line, and not every game is great. Some days are! When I cast the Douyu cup and we have Reynor playing out of his mind I'm super excited and ready to shout about it. But when nothing happens for 8 minutes in the next ZvZ, its going to be a different tone. I'm fully capable of getting hyped and I do on my stream. But if I start shouting and screaming in the first series of the day, its a negative knock on for the rest of the day. I know this and thats why I am more calm and steady. Same issues produce the same stuff right, I cast a lot and so a lot of my phrases get used a lot. I explain the same situations a lot, so its also hard to create the hype sometimes. I make it more interesting for myself and the stream by talking with chat (like every streamer does, btw) which sometimes means I miss something or piss someone off. But at the end of the day, I'm also a streamer, not just a caster. People didn't subscribe when all I did was talk about the game and ignore chat. People didn't support, because that's not how streaming works. It's a completely different role, but I appreciate that it's hard to realize that as a viewer. You could probably even argue the I cast too much, but if I didn't cast so much I wouldn't be paying my bills. At the end of the day I'm happy with my casting and I've learned to live with the fact a lot of people hate it and all they can say is "well at least he does loads for the scene!!" before shitting over me. That's the internet and life in general. I'm not a personality enough to be consistently funny or put myself out there or tell jokes or to keep everything interesting, and so I'll never tick the boxes of people who are looking for that in a cast. I will say that I find the DreamHack casting to be very difficult to bring my 100% to, because it's hard to change out of the mindset that I'm at home and this is a bigger event. We are casting multiple series back to back with 3-4 minutes of breaks for multiple hours. I still think I cast better in DreamHack than I do on my own stream, but it doesn't compare to how I casted at Katowice. I've tried a few things to change it up and to get myself in a better mindset. I even broke my new diet and eating habits which I was doing super great at and making loads of progress with because I was afraid it was holding me back from doing what I could. Also sucks that I only got about 3 days of casting out of the event, because I hosted the first week. Not a lot of time to settle down into co-casting etc and to figure out these things. Hoping I can bring some energy and hype for the first couple games tomorrow~~ Anyways, just thought I'd chime in as the discussion came up. Hoping to bring the power tomorrow. It's also been fun hosting, definitely a different experience and I feel like I learned a lot (though today was tough, I don't know why but I was just constantly slipping up over myself..) but I 100% prefer casting, even if I am just stuck on my own channel and not hired by larger events. I don't want to slip into the hosting void you can never escape as Kaelaris talks about ;d | ||

He has little to no bias, and an acceptable level of "hype factor" LOL Wardii has no bias. Holy christ, that's a good one. I have to mute him half the time he starts going off on his favorite players because he keeps it going for the ENTIRE game. Even Rotterdam casting Serral has cooled off a bit on that. I personally was just happy to have variety today and that each caster had a co-caster. Getting bored of seeing a lot of these smaller tournaments this year that run solo casters for everything. Even if I like a particular solo caster, having a whole tournament of just their voice gets tiring. User was warned for this post. | ||

Why don't you just appreciate that we don't have a dead game and actually tournaments to watch and for players to play in? It'd be nice if Tod came back to the scene, along with Rifkin and Pig. Right now, Pig only casts EPT NA after he's done his matches, and then that's about it. Tod is basically missing and Rifkin too. I feel for the casters that have to solo cast every day for a few days straight. | ||
