Casting was very laid back and boring in the today it seems.

The Incontrol Mirror that happens sometimes inbetween match-ups is creepy as hell.

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 loved today's show. The casters were loose, natural. Maybe need to get more exciting, but NASL really did a nice job.

I feel like the casters just can't find the right balance of how to cast. 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.

personally I think as long as the technical aspects are okay casting quality will not prevent THAT many people from watching the show. to be sure, when they are bullshitting (which all casters do) they do not have the entertainment of tastosis etc... they sound kind of forced and being something they are not, maybe they lack chemistry with each other maybe it is just their skills. 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.

1. I can see the door that used to be behind, where you guys cast as long and also all the bumps on the wall and bad paint job. 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! 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!

The lag issue was gone for me today, could watch 1080p all night no lag. I think the only thing that comes to mind now is the sound issue.

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.

I think there's something off about the set-up they have for the casters.

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.

Jtv is terrible, watched TSL with 50k other viewers highest quality np.. NASL i can barely make it work with 2 lowest qualities. VOD's takes waay to long preloading before ya can watch it smoothly. Gotten kinda used to the casting, but most of the time isnt exactly entertaining and they dont seem to keep things fresh, other casters tend to put alittle more of themselfs out there and not to scared if they make alittle fun of themself during the boring moments.
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 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...

Get different casters, Incontrol has told jokes and had bad manners that made me turn the stream off out of sheer principle, also Gretorp almost never adds anything to the match, he just says "oh there is barracks in X players main.
Boredom is a necessity for insanity.

Please, please PLEASE fix your sound, there almost needs to be a whole thread started about this ONE issue as it makes your show annoying/almost impossible to watch.

I know it takes time but its been a while now and I know myself as well as many others paid you, put that money to work on this issue asap please!!!! The whitera vs sjow match the other day.... wanted to watch....had to turn it off, sound was so bad...

I want to see some more personality in the casting. It seems like Gretorp and iNcontroL are holding back too much.

label the 30 minutes before actual broadcast of games as pre-game

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

I think gretorp might be suffering from the same issue as tasteless back in the day, he is the obs camera (as far as i can tell) and is casting at the same time. As soon as tasteless had the shackles removed his was a different caster.

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.
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

Please get rid of the music that was recently added, or at least during the casts. Maybe put it up during intermission when there is no talking, however it does not work at all as background music for while incontrol and gretorp are speaking.
