nice commentary

I would suggest doing a better job with understanding SC in general though, so you can talk about the theory more.

for example, when you were talking about the expansions and when to take expansions, you obviously made that up on the fly. the actual case is that in SC1, in the early days, many players often went 1 base directly into aggressive attacking and harassing. But eventually, when the number of harassing options became limited and people became very good at defending, the benefit of harassing and early game aggression began to lose appeal. Terran started going FE more often (oov), zerg went into huge expansion map control phase as well (example, see how yellow and julyzerg's play style differe from the macro and management style oriented savior). That is why SC1 is often has quick expansions, and when expansions aren't quick, they are often timed to mirror a weakspot in the enemy's development. For example, as soon as DTs are out, protoss can expand if zerg doesn't have overlord speed.

But in SC2, the game is still being ironed out. Early game aggression is still very powerful because neither players are sure what all the options are. Neither players are entirely sure of all the build orders, so not sure when the enemy's tech is weak, thus the best time to expand. That's the main reason why expanding early in SC2 is still not as a fine-tuned science as it is in SC1.

anyways, ur commentary on that topic was bad. haha

I really enjoyed your commentaries so far keep em coming! I have been watching the streams and didn't quite understand a decent amount of how the protoss spells and abilities worked but now I do (such as the nexus abilities and the sentinal abilities). Good job, Keep em coming and can't wait for more..

P.S.
Is Idra going to b playing toss in sc2, and can we see some of him winning please...<- Idra fan here

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. 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...


Why would I be joking? Also my delusions of grandeur? lolwat? Explain

Also LOL "Please don't think you're good because you hid banshees". Next best IdrA quote
Morrow on ZvP: "I'm not very confident in general vs Protoss because of the imbalance (Yes its imbalanced, get over it)."
