As for game knowledge, I find it funny hearing random people I've never heard of commenting on commentators' game knowledge. What do they know? Take any sport and you will see that there are fans, who know a lot more about the theory and players than they "pros".
i doubt thats true for many sports but its certainly not true for sc/sc2. for every thousand people who claim to have a great handle on the strategy/thinking portion of the game, and they just happen to suck because they cant practice enough to execute their brilliance, theres maybe one who actually understands as much as he thinks he does.

Never zoom in. It is harder to see what is going on, and Tastless would miss less himself if he would not play with the camera.
Never play in game music, its harder to hear the commentary. Commentary + in game sound is enough with music there is too much sound overlap.

In my opinion the casting has been worse than I expected, especially considering the magnitude of the event. As others probably already have said, it's a job, not a hobby. If you think this is how you go about a job, then you'd probably never had a job in your entire life or at least not a very serious one.
PS! Go TLO!

Tasteless is doing better today =)

I dont think any newbie can qualify in ro64 of GSL. By the way, jinro and nazgul should appreciate this ^^
Typical Idra's garbage ^^

thats it, they need me and psylence to dual cast them! ship us over!
lol. but yeah both artosis and tasteless have great speaking voices, but they have some huge gaps in their commentary, which is surprising since they are both pro gamers.
1. If tasteless says stasis one more time im going stasis his mouth
2. They have a bad habit of panning away from a major battle about to happen.
3. Don't seem active enough, but i like more analytical commentary as opposed to bells and whistles.

Wonder if Tastosis has been keeping track of this thread? Quality of commentary tonight is pretty fucking exemplary.

He really is. Much better today. And great game 1.

First post - but hey they've done nearly everything suggested in this thread so far today so least they're always up to improving their game
|
Reading this thread, it seems like Husky/HD aren't very popular here.
Speaking as someone who's new to Starcraft, those two are great and make entertaining videos. I never would've imagined myself ever watching SC videos for fun- but HDH pulled me in when I randomly saw one of their videos one day- and it's obvious via their millions of youtube views that they've done the same for many other casual gamers. I've watched a couple of the Gometv matches and haven't really enjoyed them.
Say what you want about HDH and their game knowledge- those two will do more for growing interest for Starcraft in America than anything or anyone else.

I don't know if this was said but I would enjoy a quick 3-6 second snapshot of every mining base at different times in the mid-late game to check each players economy. I know the korean commentators used to do this in bw as well as scan over the production buildings to check macro capabilities.
Edit: Also when there's a key tech structure show it on screen and do the mouse circle thingy on its name?
Edit 2: These things can probably be done b/w battles, I guess it takes some caster apm and micro to make it smooth and keep everything smooth  .
So far so good though guys!

I have to agree with the OP - Tasteless seems to be just lazy, not preparing for the games at all and not really trying to be professional. Unless you enjoy his jokes, which I guess not everyone does, he doesn't have much to offer.
But I don't agree that he has lost it, has to move one, etc., it's just that he needs to adjust his mindset a bit. It's not something you do just for your own fun.
|
He seems quite a bit better today, seems a bit more into it.
|
I think tastless' and artosis' have been very good tonight
|
i think hes doing an amazing job
TL is so critical lol

I never played or watched BW, I've watched alot of shoutcasts of alot of other games for years and I think the GOM stream has some of the best live rapport and commentary I've heard. And it's EXCITING.
This is not a well established game with common strategies. MU's are changing weekly with each new tournament. As far as pointing out deviations from "standard play" they have done a pretty good job so far.
Tastleless's obsing definately needs some work. But if he's not doing a good job by the semi's I'll be shocked.
edit:
Also I have zero knowledge of any of the players outside the ones I watched in tourney's during beta. I think they are doing an OK job of keeping us informed who most of the korean players are.
You can also tell that they are good players, unlike some of the other commentators mentioned in this thread.
|
Tasteless's commentary is great as always. I believe that you guys just aren't used to his style of commentary.
|
Don't apologize so much, Tasteless. You're amazing as it is - just do your best and it will be enough.
