I think we watched the games in Husky's pov(im not sure tho) and he missed out on so many things compared to day 9. | ||

I do want to point out that Day9, as amazing as the OP portrays, do have one issue: He needs to remember that he has a partner and need to know how to commentate as a team. Similar to the commentaries during the IEM, his partners always have to force their way in as Day9 just keeps talking and talking and talking. | ||

Day9 kind of does both play by play and analysis while JP just interjects here and their to fill silences. JP seems perfectly fine with that and that's all that really matters. People have accused Day9 of hogging the mic but he's really just a talker. He's a big personality and as long as he's paired with someone who doesn't mind the back seat, like JP, I think it works out great. I think he and JP did a far better job of filling the silences while players were getting set up and logged in than HDH did. People complained about Day9 and dApollo at IEM and I think the issue there is that they're both analysts and both talkers, so they kind of stepped on each other. It doesn't mean either is bad, just that they don't make the best team. I was watching TotalBiscuit with dApollo at the i40 and I felt they made a much better pair. TB has a reasonable knowledge of the game, is articulate and engaging but also realizes that Apollo has more knowledge and defers to him for analysis of why X may or may not be a good play, etc. To those calling this a hate thread: I think, as long as the criticism stays constructive there's no reason not to have these conversations. Of course HD and Husky are newer to this than Day9 and JP but they can't improve if there's no way for them to find out how their performances were received. The growth of esports depends on our commentators improving. MLG picked HD and Husky for their viewer base, which is absolutely the right choice at this point IMO. Esports needs to bring new fans in, but they also need to keep them. To keep them, esports needs to deliver a quality product. | ||

Considering the production's budget level the commentary is just fine. | ||

Huh what, I really gotta disagree with that, during IEM Apollo talked and talked about non-important stuff while Day9 had to force himself into the conversation to say important stuff. There were moments that I really wished Apollo would just shut the fuck up so we could hear about the more important things going on. Got nothing against Apollo though, he's good, but he and Day9 didn't cast that well together imo. As for HD/Husky, they miss important stuff all the time, most of their predictions are wrong and it's usually just a bad guess, it sometimes seems like they haven't played the game themselves. I understand why new players like them though because they do seem really into the game and to them the game knowledge doesn't really matter. I just found the entire MLG yesterday so incredibly boring, I was praying the entire time for BiggerT to arrive and throw up HigherdefinitionHDstarcraft restream. | ||

What was a more common tendency was that Apollo pointed out something critical, for example that loads of units died, then Day9 would go like "uhu... " and then say something about the matchup or the map that everyone had heard over 9000 times before. In my opinion, Day9 is a great analyst for his dailies, a good caster but a so-and-so co-caster. | ||

This is also somewhat true a lot of stuff day9 says in very technical analysis, he will say over and over while casting. Also brilliant/genius overused too much! 20 times a game, brilliant play, I really LIKE how he does X (over and over), Hallmark of a good player, etc. It's commentary that belongs in his day9 dailies and not in casts., It's fine to comment on their strategies etc, but don't go into detail about how much you like it for minutes/entire conversations. There are a lot of points like this that he gets caught up on... REAPER CLIFFS jesus every reaper game I have to ear over and over how he likes reapers to be used. OTOH day9 is a great caster, take this for what it is, pet peeves. These comments are all pretty correct and very insightful/good points, doesn't stop them being annoying after 1-2 games  I dislike how reapers jump up cliffs to attack, it should be for retreating. x100, It's okay though it's still amazing casting.... don't take this to heart!!! the same way you nitpick small things in people's builds (amazing players most of the time), is the same reason I'm writing this. Overall it's great. I hope it's good there is some feedback.. and you take it for what it is.. | ||

I really hated the fact Apollo was so intrusive in the IEM, but tbh, I think he had too, cause else it would be day9 rolling all over him not letting him speak. But I agree that day9 can say things over and over again we have heard, as you said, 9000 times before. Most of the time I can see and understand whats going on, most of us can, dont need to go in-depth analysing it when it would be more fun if you performed well as a commentator. One thing is casting his dailies, another to commetate a match. | ||

My advice work on you're between game banter, come up with topics beforehand to talk about, interesting stories, other useful info the viewers might want to know, hell watch some of tasteless solo casting for gom TV he talks ALL the time about hand temp and mouse/keyboard/chair settings. Above all else, get to know popular build orders/players playstyle is quite helpful and will help with their analysis skills. | ||
