Do you speak proper English yourself? | ||

What does it matter how he speaks lol? I know I don't like listening to casters with certain accents because I know how english is supposed to sound like. I wouldn't mind a TLO, TB and MC co-cast though | ||

Fairly ridiculous that you ask for Khaldor then in the same post think I would destroy Code A, when we cast in the same style and know about as much about SC2 as each other. It does demonstrate that most casting preferences are really little more than subjective likes and dislikes, rather than real, substantive concerns, which is the reason organisations don't take the opinions of the community so seriously when choosing their casters. He said he didn't like you. That's valid. He's obviously not trying to affect the decision, just as when I post "No Cella! Don't send out ____!" I'm not actually trying affect Cella's decision. It doesn't matter if his like of a caster is objective, because he will base his actions on his subjective opinion. Objectivity is important when making broad generalizations like "A caster should do A B C and never do D E F because of X Y Z" but a person doesn't really need to objectively explain why he doesn't like something. I don't really like IPAs. Why? I don't know I just don't like them so I don't drink them. I don't need to objectively explain to you why I don't drink them. The last part is frankly absurd. To say an organization doesn't weigh popularity when choosing casters doesn't explain why Day[9] is at every major LAN or why MLG flew Tastosis across the world. Obviously the general popularity of a caster is a major factor in an event choosing who to hire. | ||

Although I'm not a big fan of Khaldor, saying he isn't better than you is a downright lie. Khaldor is at least Master League while you are still stuck in Silver. | ||

I have a strong urge to tell you to get out..not sure why. -- Main point: My vote is for day9 or wheat. Get english casters who known to be good and not random people from every country but english-speaking. | ||

I for one, want to learn something and understand everything that is going on when i see a game. I've seen TB miss several important aspects of his casted games, from tech choices to even big battles (Haypro vs Bomber Game 1). | ||

Well... duh! Of course they're subjective likes and dislikes. It's TV. Is there an objective reason to differentiate between Conan and Leno? It's largely down to the popularity of the individual and that, incidentally in the case of SC2, is also party objective as it has to do with knowledge of the game as well as general casting style. But mostly it will be a subjective like. Same as with musicians, tv presenters, talk-show hosts, news anchors, etc. Frankly I don't see how people can watch your stream. That's nothing personal against you or your qualities as a caster, I haven't seen enough of it to be able to judge whether or not you know what you're talking about, but I just can't listen to you for very long and it seems there are a lot of people that feel the same way. Now having said that, there's also a large group of people that do enjoy watching you as is evidenced by the amount of viewers and subscribers. But to say that it's largely subjective and that because of that, companies won't pay much attention to our opinions is a pretty silly thing to say. It's exactly because of the subjective nature of the popularity that they have to listen to us, because there are no real objective standards to measure by. | ||

Reread what TotalBiscuit wrote, what I wrote and then what you wrote. Edit: To summarize: TB: Events don't care what people think about their casters. Me: Of course popularity dictates which casters events hire. You: Day9 and Tastosis are the best. That's why they are popular. (??) | ||
