Nice :D watching the rep now

Alright watched the rep. Some general comments:

Stop being so over zealous about everything. It seems any new feature of sc2 is like omfg this is amazing. You were kinda like "OMFG!! HOLY SHIT!!! THE STALKER IS WALKING ON CLIFFS ITS USING ITS ABILITY HOW STRATEGIC!!!". Just gets annoying a bit. Obviously enthusiasm is great but don't let your heart rate triple at every unit ability.
Agreed on this general point. I thought it was really good up until the warp gate (8:30ish) and the colossus thing. I think you just need to control your volume a bit (but not too much, because you sound great the rest of the time) and be aware of your distance to the mic. Also, do some annunciation exercises for some sounds like your 'p's. IRL, it wouldn't be a problem but it gets picked up differently on a mic.

Aside from that, I thought it sounded really good. Not sure how the strategy stacks up in SC2 yet, but at the very least I think if people used classic announcer teams (color commentator + play by play), you'd make an excellent play by play. You sound like Doug Gottlieb.

Anything you feel like.
None as of now.
Zoom in a bit during clashes. I do this sometimes and the effect is great. Make sure you rotate the camera effectively too.
Switch to FP view when nothing much is happening. Control the camera during clashes.
Watch at Fast speed. Fastest is just too much.

What the fuck? How is it possible that I disagree on every single point here..



felt the same hahahaa. the guy got everything different from what i think

Nice job Rise. I appreciate your personality and enthusiasm. The only complaints are related to understanding SC2, which noone really understands at this point. Once the game begins to be figured out, I think you can definitely put a lot more emphasis on things because their will be some context to it.

Maybe do a dual commentary with Combat-ex next time?

Love your commentaries Rise. You and Moletrap got me into this whole thing. Hope you stick around for SC2 and the coming WL finals and commentate them as well

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no. Combat-ex wouldn't even cast anything where he cant talk about himself owning some lower ranked player.

Won't even get into that to avoid a flame war.


The only time to zoom in in a battle when its a very small one, i.e. probe/zeal vs probe/zeal. Even then, only SLIGHTLY to bring in focus. Don't rotate the camera -.-

First person I think really should only be used like korean commentaries, mostly when the heat is on into an intense mid/late game or BRIEFLY from both sides during a long epic fight.

I think the army tab is the best thing to have open most of the time, with quick checks to the other tabs periodically.

normal faster speed please, especially when there is less need to introduce units again and again.

I enjoy the commentaries, looks promising.

Seeing new and interesting strategies is part of the fun. The nice statistically analysis available in replay is great.

Always enjoy Rise commentaries because he gets into it so much (like Klazart would but Rise is more clear).

Now get Cholera back!

Really enjoyed this, keep up the good work. I liked how you explained many of the more simplistic aspects of SCII. I have not yet gotten a chance to play, so I didn't know about many of the abilities.

Otherwise pretty good commentary considering how little is know about the game

As for whether you should show FP View or just handle the camera yourself, I would handle the camera yourself (like you do in SC1 replays). Do the korean proleague technique where they switch to FP view when there's something interesting to bee seen from first person (Best example would be player A proxies building in player Bs base, and you switch to play B to see if he is able to see the proxy, or if he's frantically looking around the map.

That's my 2 cents, hope it helps.

What made you decide to leave SC1 casting btw?

Please tell me your joking. Whats annoying is your delusions of grandeur...

In my opinion, FP views are great during proxies, macro/preparation and small skirmishes, not during major battles. It's interesting to see the players composure at multitasking.
