Anyone else know what I'm talking about, the mirrored Incontrol looking to the side then bobbing his head for a few seconds. Also, cut Gretorp | ||

I'm not sure if it's the lack of chemistry or what but something isn't clicking. Maybe having the mildly bombastic and sharp personality of Incontrol paired with (i'm sorry to say) the pretty lifeless personality of Gretorp just doesn't work. It's really gotten to the point where it's obvious the casters just arent very good, at least with each other. I guess they can "get better"... but really, it would be in the NASLs best interest to just get better casters for future seasons. Edit: I almsot feel bad for them too because i bet they are very conscious of the fact that the sound quality / levels are bad too. Must be hard to chose how loud or excited to be half the time. | ||

I could listen to tastosis bullshit for hours because of how natural it sounds, like you are in a room with your buddies talking about irrelevant shit. | ||

Yeah, i feel like they can't build on top of what each other is saying and create a dialogue. Interactions between the two seem to hit a brick wall half the time, just sputter out, or have Gretorp just make some gutterous heaving sound, which i assume is a laugh. | ||

2. Fix your sound! Sometimes your voices are too loud compared to the game sound or not loud enough, is Helen Keller your sound technician? 3. Add post and pre game graphics with stats and other info, including player pictures, segments with pieces from interviews. 4. It's sad to see such a disparity between prize money and production quality, you guys can do better. 5. Look to TSL and IPL, you should have all the same things as them and more! | ||

I think the casting is amazing imo, you guys are getting better and better, and I'm always laughing/having a good time. I think most of those saying the casting is bad are just really day9/husky fanboys and are never gonna be satisfied. Keep improving guys, and I'll keep watching. | ||

It's a black background with a grey logo, behind black monitors, with a black desk, with casters wearing black blazers. I think it would help to mix it up a little. Also, it might be an audio thing or maybe it's just the acoustics in the room they cast in, but it sounds like they're in a hollow box. | ||

The production is pretty bad, but i mostly just wanna watch the games tho, GSL i enjoy the casters entertainment allmost as much as the games themself. Day9, Dj Wheat, those are pretty fun guys to listen to. Gretorp doesnt quite look or sound sober most of the time lol. Not that 25$ is alot of money, just dont think this was worth the hazzle of writing up my cred card details for. | ||

You guys could cast in front of a poster wall with the Starcraft 2 or NASL logo. Would look ALOT better! Makes it look very unprofessional. 2. Fix your sound!

You cant compare NASL to the IPL.. IPL had such a long time to get the fancy graphics, its casted off replays, not in studio, one caster.... and if you google you can even find out the winner... | ||

I think people are going to remain stupid and never know the actual broadcast of games and proceed to bitch about it. | ||

Overall though, I have seen improvement in every cast, the quality of the stream and encoding are near perfect now and the casting duo are beginning to find their feet together, remember that tastosis took alot of flack at the beginning of GSL about not being serious enough and bad analysis, but that has all gone away now as they have found their groove. If gretorp can just cast, and not have to be the cameraman too, he will be great, he is usually very entertaining on his own stream. | ||
