I just don't understand how every other sc2 player that takes the game seriosuly has a much better understanding of the game than them. Do they spend any time on the game except from when they are commentating? Well, I have looked at Huskys profile, it is 10-2 in plat and has been for a long while, so I don't think he is active at all. HD has a bit more, but still not very much. | ||

I think you are coming down way too hard on HD, at least for the matches i have watched now. After watching IEM and this I think Day[9] needs to back a little bit off when doing cocasting, and let his partner shine a bit more. Granted it takes time to get the chemistry going, but I still have the impression that he gets a bit carried away and hogs the mike a little bit too much. Overall, I enjoy the hell out of the stream, and think all the commentators should be satisfied with the job they are doing. | ||

Pet peeve: If I have to hear one more time about how Kulas Ravine is a very good map for zerglings because of the open spaces, or that the ledges are good for terran drops, I'm going to set something on fire. P.S. It seems to me like HD has improved. He used to mess up all the time, get unit names wrong or mix up players, but he almost never does anymore. P.P.S Husky is just hilarious to watch with his offhand comments about random units. | ||

Day9 and JP have an awesome understanding of the game and they are a good team as commentators. I think they all are doing a good job. (I've seen far worste commentators in other sports and even during the soccer-wc 2010) | ||

I think both HDStarcraft and JP don't have the best voice for commentating, it's very hard to listen to both of them, especially if they get excited. Definitely would be interesting to see the casters change, because tbh I don't know that to think of JP, he gets outshined by Day9 (who seems to be better off as a one-man team anyway) and his performance for now wasn't really the best. Commentating is very hard, I can assure you that, everytime you're going to say random stuff and get the wrong words, especially if you're new to the field, but it's not always about the knowledge, husky tries to get a lot of humor in his commentary and I think he's doing a very good job at that, he just has to talk a bit less and take a break every now and then | ||

but despite HDs lack of knowledge in some areas of the game and his bi polar attitude of match ups (he use to think there was no such thing ad imbalances in ZvT but now he is starting to admit that they are mainly because of his fans. even tho he still has no idea what those imbalances are...) he is still a great commentator. and by that i mean he has good speech/talking skills. husky is slightly better then HD but there both still outshadowed by day9. and as for JP, well the guys pretty dull. if it wasnt for day9 saving his ass he would be extremly boring to listen to. OR it could have just been that day9 likes to talk alot and was not giving JP many chances to really talk rofl. he would interrupt JP almost all the time. so day9 has his faults to.

1. You give people a bias opinion when it comes to their casting ability, so they are more likely to not watch and enjoy the matches. 2. They have their own fans. You segment the community even more, and can cause resentment against other casters because of the loyalty to HD and husky. I would also like to point out, that these things are a severe hurt to the community. As, they really only lead to less material. Less material means less numbers. No more numbers = no more sponsors. And all of these things make sean sad  Now i think while having said all that, I do enjoy the GAMES hd and husky casted, however i would watch them for the players. But I find myself wanting to watch the games day9 and jp cast, just for the casting itself. I must say as well, that when HD didnt know why the protoss wasnt walling off vs terran, and vice versa, it made by a very sad and angry panda, and it makes me want to take all of the nice defence back that i just gave him and his co caster. But i do think it needs to be said. Also, day9 for life! | ||

In the one game the Terran at about 8 supply sends all of his SCVs to one patch by mistake and it's on-screen when it happens, but it doesn't even get mentioned the entire game. They miss so many things while casting and things they don't miss are often just completely wrong. They do not deserve any of the following they have. It's there solely by virtue of them starting early and using HQ. | ||

Day9 and JP were much better to listen to, though I didn't distinguish who was commentating most of the time. I don't have very many thought about JP so it seems to me that Day9 was doing all of the talking. Day9 also has that kind of personality where he would be better off not having a co-caster, but maybe he just needs the right partner. Day9 is also much more entertaining than HDH and his analysis is generally superb. I do get tired of his commentating style but since I haven't been following his dailies anymore, I had no problems watching him cast this tournament and felt like I would have been good with him casting the whole thing. I think the alternating between casters is a good idea because it prevents people from getting tired of them and mixes things up a bit. So final thought. I think Day9 is a keeper. JP I didn't really notice his presence much, so he could go too, or possibly be paired with someone else. Though I don't expect them to keep more than 2 commentators so I'm fine with him being dropped. I think HD and Husky should both be replaced. | ||

D9/JP are also great for their accurate analysis of the game. Imo, all of these Day [9] fanboys QQing about him not being all the time is just rude. I strongly disagree with you, I think that Day9 is far more entertaining and says clever things all the time. Husky and HD just say the obvious things, have no insight/incorrect insight, and it's just a snorefest waiting for Day9 and JP to come back on. I can't find any humor in Husky's commentating still, it just feels like a generic SC2GG commentary to me with equal amounts of insight to the game. I learn nothing while listening to their commentary, way unlike when listening to Day9/JP. The post above me is really good. | ||
