But honestly, when someone shoutcast faster than a speedling on creep, I barely notice these little things. Overall this was probably the best casting TB has done, and that says a lot. The very first casts together with Emperor were damn enjoyable, but the difference is like day and night if you compare new and old content back to back. | ||

Very impressive and quite good. I tend to listen to commentators as a radio (while focusing on my studying or something) and I noticed that sometimes he doesn't note what exactly was "picked off" or getting attacked etc. If you're watching the stream, then naturally you know to what he's referencing, but there may be some who aren't. Just a heads-up if its of any worth. Love how much enthusiasm and overall light talk that goes on throughout the match, good job! Would love to know how I could cast a match like that (minus a badass accent haha!) | ||

Artosis would have told me on the metalopolis game "oh i've seen this build, it's where u drop 3 robos and hit this timing where zerg blahblahblah and blahblahblah is going to happen" booorrring. Listening to you add character and personality to the cast by saying "so it looks like kiwikaki is throwing down 3 robotics facilities, and why the hell not? he IS Kiwikaki" adds so much flavor to the experience and makes it more enjoyable to watch. It takes an edge of seriousness off of the game and puts a big, stupid grin on my face when you make comments like that and click on the three robos. I think you did a great job of guiding the observers through each game, while also making us feel connected to it. If you guys enjoyed his casting as much as I did, or at least to some degree, make sure to show some love and get TotalBiscuit some more recognition! Thank you again for casting today, I haven't enjoyed a game of SC2 that much in awhile. Casters are a huge and important factor in sc2, so take the time to show some love for the ones who bring to life these awesome games like we saw today. | ||

Especially after watching trolls spew uninformed bullshit all over various youtube and and stream channels. Both Day[9] and TB are really good at what they do and do wonders for E-sports and the community. Let's just be happy there are so many awesome SC2 casters and they all bring something different to the table! :D | ||

Let's just be happy there are so many awesome SC2 casters and they all bring something different to the table! :D Couldn't agree with this more (well, other than the TotalBiscuit is a good caster thing which is a blatant lie). There should be nothing but happiness amongst spectators that they have options. eSports has WAY more variety of casting styles than traditional sports, you are not stuck with the same casters all the time, you can choose who you want to listen to, based on your personal preferences. If you want pure play-by-play, colour, or analysis or any combination of the 3, there will be someone out there who will cater to your needs.This is a wonderful thing that you don't see very often in life, this element of choice. Embrace it, adore it, don't marginalise it with petty 'X greater than Y' stuff. Why does everything have to be ranked, relative to everything else, can't we just enjoy what we enjoy and rejoice in the fact that it's there for us to begin with rather than spending all our time arguing over who is better than who? | ||

Also really great casting today, enjoyed it a lot. They'll be sending me replay packs so I guess that's pretty likely. Probably on Wednesday's show. | ||

Gateway drug indeed Actually I do not agree with this. For entry level players Day9 is better. TB is better for non-players or the ones that do not need Day9 to tell them what is going on (most of diamond players) like me. It is the same reason why Tastosis are more fun to listen to then Day9 as they spend 50% of the time just making fun of each other and everyone else. It is much more fun then pure analysis that Day9 does (and Artosis tends to do if Tasteless keeps quiet for 30s :D) | ||

It's true, you could certainly try and work on lowering the "No question about that" count  but apart from that I can't remember listening to a more professionally sounding cast of an SC2 match in a long while. You've just earned yourself another youtube subscription. | ||
