LTWFTW, Loving the show, keep up the good work! Great message, love the theme that SC2 is more than just the ladder. Have fun with it, stick with it, and we'll watch.

Really great show I really enjoyed the first two shows. One thing I would suggest as an addition is when your doing coaching shows try to do a "commentary" of a rep but rather than a normal cast make it a discussion as the insight a pro can is invaluable and will help both yourself (TB) and the audience understand the game better. This may be difficult to fit in but could be well worth it as a lot of people get enjoyment from SC2 both as a sport (the shout'y stuff filled with shooting and explosions) and the strategy and depth of the game.

Other than that keep up the good work this is just my opinion and will continue to watch regardless of whether anything like this happens.

Hey TB! I really enjoyed watching the show today. It's good to see you actually having fun in SC2!

A bit of feedback: while the ladder coaching was pretty cool, I think it might be a better idea to draw a few subscribers that are at about your level (league) with whatever race you play and play custom games against them so that your coach can observe rather than watch the stream. This would mean more chances for your subscribers to participate, a more direct and effective coaching experience for you and a bit less of a confusing segment for us viewers.

I was also wondering why you played Terran in your 2v2 with Desrow. You were obviously having quite a bit of fun fooling around with him and it was a good segment, but it seemed like a bit of a missed opportunity to learn more about Protoss (and its mechanics), being able to do crazy stuff (go go Carriers!) and not worry about results much in 2v2, rather than stressing in the cutthroat environment of 1v1. I think it'd be a great idea to play the race you were coached at in your 2v2 segment.

All in all though, good show, I'm glad to see you back on the air and will definitely tune in next time.

Also think the first idea in this post is awesome good job person, second one not too shabby either

really enjoying the show. especially the unorthodox laddering. i think 3 1-2 hour shows a week is probably too much for people who want to catch it all but thats just my opinion

TotalBiscuit, I love you for this. I was a little skeptical when I first read about the concept - it sounded rather lame, if I'm to be perfectly honest. If these first two shows are any indicator of future performance, however, this show is approximately 10x better than your ladder stream. Please keep it up, and make sure to use the proceeds to continue to fund more tournaments.

My personal feedback:

Having watched both of the episodes of Showcraft - Here's a couple of points that occurred to me:

(Some of this may not be directly related to show content.)

Pros:
- Highly entertaining, community involving show.
- Healthy Mix of Competitive (ladder) play and community interaction.
- Relatively Troll-Free and somewhat enjoyable chat.
- Highly Reasonable mods.
- Professionally produced and a good attitude maintained.
- You actually appear to be enjoying this, as opposed to the tail end of ISSC2.
- Shows SC2 as the diverse game that it is, as opposed to a solely competitive (and somewhat repetitive side).

Cons:
- Only three times a week (This is a jest).
- Not your fault - But I found the guest Coach audio quality to be relatively low. (Probably a fault on my end or with a microphone.)
- Coaching (again, this is subjective) Seemed a little too direct to learn from; more of a narrated build order.
- Assuming that Desrow was watching the stream to coach seemed a little off with what was happening on-screen. (Subjective opinion.)
- Potential Show burnout. (This is more a personal worry of mine.)

Overall:


A highly entertaining, high-quality and well-produced show. Keep up the great work.

Quiz night on Friday!


Edit: A point that didn't quite fit in anywhere - I'm unsure about the timescale for the show. Evidently the time for the pilot (and probably in the first few weeks); will vary wildly, although I'm wondering what it'll settle at over time. Three hours a night for three nights a week could be viewed as an unreasonable amount of time for someone with your career.

The episode with desRow was great! Laid back and informative. It'd be so much better if instead of laddering you could grab viewers who wore bronze-gold level to play against so that the coach can watch or something, but that's vulnerable to smurfing and such...I dunno. It's tricky to make it work. Nevertheless, despite technical limitations I really enjoyed it.

Gave the first show a go, but the first large chunk was just the same as ISS2, i.e. you getting beat by someone going mutas and complaining about them because you are terrible at dealing with them. By this stage I was pretty disapointed because I was looking forward to a change of pace with the new show, it isn't enjoyable to watch when rather than sending a pack of marines or building some turrets... you just whine about mutas as they destroy your base un-apposed. Even "damn I am so bad at dealing with mutas" would be better than "Fucking Mutas, there is nothing you can do about them, they just kill every expansion you try and take"... which is a ridiculous statement that you made in episode 1. I thought that the laddering sessions were going to be different with you taking a light hearted view on it. I am going to skip to episode two and watch the Protoss coaching, hopefully this change of style will occur here, the other posts about episode 2 seem generally positive and I am a fan of yours when you aren't so miserable.

TL:DR: Episode one began just the same as ISS2 which put me off. Will give it a second chance with episode 2 shortly. Hopefully you can take something constructive out of this if you read it.


Edit: Watching episode 2 and it is a far better watch! Really enjoying it. Good work, more like this please!

something to have at some point, perhaps not every show:

FFA with 1 from each league.

Keep in mind that there is plenty of sc2 content out there, so we would prefer quality over quantity

Loving the show so far TB, may I also say that you must only do the show if you are enjoying doing it, angry TB does not compare to happy TB, if you are not feeling it one day then please don't make yourself do anything, we all know what happens when you do that.

You have always put out quality stuff TB and I hate for you to let your dedication to the fans to comprimise that.
