There is no black and white here, more personal taste. I prefer my game casting to have a nice sprinkling of nerdy fun/humour. This generic sports casting persona completely bores the shit out of me. I'm sure Jason is a great guy, and no doubt casts sports games well, but no, his SC2 casting is not resonating with me. | ||

Under the circumstances, he exceeded my expectations. He wasn't super versed in SC2 so of course there will be some errors in his calling, I mean no fucking shit. By all means feel free to make some fun out of it and land some criticism, but to be hating on the guy because it's somehow your god given right to receive perfect commentary is fucking ridiculous. | ||

Sure he made some errors sometimes, such as asking about barracks before depot, but he also explored the mechanics a little, but not too heavily. I mean, for your general audience, having to know what a 14 FE versus a 15 FE might be too much, just knowing, hey that seems good time to expand is better. I liked his casts. | ||

I'd disagree with this 100% for the GSL intended audience. May as well get anyone off the street to just comment on what's going on. There-in lies the benefit of the personal experiences and input from a knowledgeable caster. | ||

He's especially hilarious when he's casting FIFA, screaming GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLL like a maniac every time a goal is scored. | ||

Personally I don't listen to the casters for in-depth tactical discussion or insights into what the players are doing.. I use my own eyes for that. For me, the casters are there to provide some excitement in the background whilst i'm watching the match.. and Jason Lee certainly seems to do that for me. | ||
