Professionalism is everything.


To you, the minority. Most people playing will want the latter. Tastosis also have the abiltiy to easily compete in professionalism if they were given the right motivation.\\

I was actually cringing with how bad the casts were last night esp after IdrA left. Its not to say Jason Lee isn't a good caster, but he isn't a good caster for SC2. I frapsed it and wnet to bed, and FF'd through any of the talking parts it got so bad rofl. Maybe if he got trained for quite a bit and actually learned the game it could work but the voice should go imo.

Jason Lee tore it up. I especially liked it when the translator would be having trouble in the interviews, and then Jason jumps in and koreans it up.
Jorgen did well too, just needs to speak up and not trail off into a mumble.

After watching the live stream, I decided to flip to some of the VODs with the casting archon Tastosis.

And really, I think all the comments that people are making about personal preference are so right. Idra and Jason Lee (didn't watch the Jorgen commentator) were pairing each other very well - and I really actually felt like I was watching a real sports event. And if we want to start legitimizing SC2 as an e-sport so that outsiders will start watching it, I feel like this is a very important part of the casters role. This is also my greatest critcisim of Tastosis - the fact that the casting is extremely unprofessional.

Further, Jason Lee really knew where he was going as he was casting. There were no long moments where the casters look at each other awkwardly trying to figure out things to say when the game doesn't start right away. Tastosis always ends up making it work, finding something to talk about, but you never saw that hestitation with Jason.

BUT

Jasidra misses the terrible puns, the laughable attempts at humour (all of which only make the whole thing that much funnier IMO =P), and the sheer depth of knowledge that both Tasteless and Artosis bring to the table. If Tastosis can bring more of that professionalism into their dyamic duo, then their casting will go to the next level for sure.

And yes, Jason's "uhhh"ing was super distracting >_<

There are things that both pairs can learn from each other.

Oh man, and Artosis should totally take a page out of Jason's book and use follow up questions. Jason didn't let Check get away with the one word answer "Terran" he made him explain.

Him and IdrA were fantastic casters I think. Idra knows his shit.

This. Exactly my thoughts.

Sure he might have professionalism but he's dull, boring, humorless and knows almost nothing about the game. This coupled with the lack of connection going on with his co-casters made the stream unwatchable.

I actually woke up happy knowing that Jason Lee wouldn't be casting today.

All I can say is that I wished Idra talked more. Jason was fine but he didn't know the game as well.
Many a sleepless nights were spent doing absolutely nothing.

I'm genuinely surprised with Jason Lee. I knew idra was going to do well because obviously he's one of the best zergs out there right now and at the very least he has the knowledge to do well. Jason Lee I didn't have a very high expectation for so I'm pleasantly surprised at how good he was.

Btw, TL needs a comment statistics guy like reddit =P That way we could actually quantify the comments being made and see what the percentage was.

Missed out yesterday, so I'm looking forward to seeing how IdrA and these guys cast together. None of the poll options denotes excellence.

Jason: This guy has the "commentators" voice. It might be a good thing or a bad thing. He can sure get the excitement up, the game on scrap station which went back and forth, was pretty much single handedly casted by him, and he really did drum up the excitement. But getting shouting about a probe attacking a morphing spawning pool is not really very exciting. His interviews were really good especially when you got blunt one word answers, he would dig in further and ask for more detail. And he did quite well with Idra, let Idra do the analysis and didnt really interject too much. The only other problems I saw were the excited for nothing bit and radio-esque commentary(stating the obvious,when we can see whats going on screen). But over all quite a good performance. Maybe given some time with the game,he could be better.(this is a close game...food difference at 100-32)

Idra: Really good analysis, as expected, and did the role he was supposed to fill. The technical side of commentary. The only problems were lack of emotion( couldn't help thinking about what InControl said in the sotg podcast lol!). When something awesome was happening he would be like ..oh he's going to lose his whole army, really bad. But then at his level of technical expertise it would seem obvious and boring. But clear speech,and good analysis, exactly what was expected of him.

Over all the Grack-Lee combo did a decent job, as they sort of compensated for each others flaws.

Xeqtr: His voice tone was sort of monotonic, and plain did not speak most of the time. And when he did he gave some insightful comments. but out of the 4 games I watched, it was mostly lee trying to single handedly carrying the match. Really needs to speak a bit more and maybe change up the voice tone a bit.Apparently he was good in a few matches from what I read in the forum,but he was mostly quiet when I was watching.

Today is definitely NOT the day to witness what the fill in commentators can do. If anything, look up the vods on GOM's website from yesterday of the first two matches (the one with jooktojung and the other one with bless) for a taste of the best fill in pair we've seen so far. Maybe Assem will be better? I dunno, but Jason/Idra are the best so far.

Jason Lee is an incredible play-by-play co-caster, but I felt he got really loud when some tense moments came out, which sort of made the cast feel uncomfortable next to Idra's more calm manner.


I thought this was what made him really good. He gets a lot more into it than Tasteless and Artosis, and it really makes you get excited watching as well. You can hear in the background how the Korean commentators get really crazy when exciting moments in the game occur. Jason Lee was almost like that, which made it really fun for me.

I agree...unless Jorgen received major pointers, it's going to be pretty brutal tonight. Hopefully Assem can bring it together, but Jorgen solo casting IdrA's match is going to be weird.

Only thing was when Idra wasn't there the cast wasn't as good. Hes a good professional play by play guy, but because of that he really defers to the pros for insight. So when Idra didn't cast the last few games, Jason Lee didn't have as good or as in depth insight to fall back on.

But it was Good. Might want to keep around as a 3rd string caster. Seeing as Tasteless seems like his voice gives out after excessive casting.
