I dont like his castingstyle, thats opinion based. But if there is action on more than 1 place on the map, he missis it most of the time. For example, a PvT, T push in the middle with a blue flame helion drop in the main. And after the fight when he brings up the unit tab, he sees P has much less workers, he sometimes goes "there must has been a drop or something" and even sometimes he doesnt see it at all. I like what he does for sc2, but i think alot of people who whatch him, husky and people like day9 for that matter, like to watch/hear the person and not the players playing. ( not judging, not flaming, just noticing.) | ||

People watch tournaments to be entertained and in depth analysis isn't required to be entertaining. He knows what he's talking about, most of the time (and he only talks about aspects of the game that he actually understands) and tbh, it's pretty rude telling him he should "never be directly involved in e sports". | ||

I get more tournament offers these days than I can physically cast. Obviously the organisers disagree with Notjack's point of view. | ||

Obviously the organisers disagree with Notjack's point of view. Given the fact that you're aware of your demographic, and you cast SC2 for fun while WoW is where the money's at, it would seem contradictory that you wouldn't turn down offers. My original statement wasn't meaning all tournaments though; the majority of casts don't require a hardcore caster to please most of the audience. That said many do. | ||

I'm guessing (my guess, not a fact!) you normally don't prepare a lot for a cast (I remember usually you don't for example Blue plz) do you ever care to change this, as I think that's a big way of improving your already highly entertaining casts, for example knowing players back stories, rivalries, preferred builds etc. It doesn't need to be superanalytical as you're more of a color commentator as I understand, but a little bit more of a solid back story (well at least for important matches) would certainly help your SC2 casts best of luck! | ||

Me and my mates sit there and watch him and laugh in hysterics every time he casts a tournament. Maybe to do with the British side of sarcastic tongue / humor..and as Bloodash has just said, his exciting! I don't want another same accented person with a different overlay just commentating whats happening..You never know what tb is going to do something wacky next with his 'fresh' casts. Also, just like to add - Cheers to TB for the Shout-Outs. It all makes it worthwhile  | ||
