But why did NASL even invite other professional casters in the first place? You and Gretorp could easily have handled all the games by yourself. You are not a bad caster at all but people get a little bit disappointed when NASL hyped and advertised that Tastosis and Day9 would be there to cast the finals. From the information I got before the finals I drew the conclusion that Tastosis and Day9 would cast all the games, and the role of you and Gretorp would be more like hosts. | ||

Having said that the finals is coming up on 80,000 viewers at once. That makes it among the best in SC history and def worthy of praise. Fix a lot of the problems and I can see 100,000 next time (esp if we have a non-korean in the finals). | ||

I think there is something to be said about the casters/production team if they are asking their viewers, who paid to watch this, to 'dig deep' to the finish. Yeah... most of us have dug deep the entire season, plagued by bad Vod system (are they still not anything but 1080p?) Bad audio, etc etc. Come on, for once we just want to watch the games and enjoy ourselves without having anything to feel frustrated or irritated about... but this is almost like a comedy by now, everything that can go wrong or get interpreted badly gets as such and by now the laughter are all out and we're just feeling shame and sorrow for it all. Nice event nevertheless but please learn to next time, learn from everyone, because I doupt the NASL will make another season after season 2 if they don't improve tenfolds. | ||

But the broadcast is going fine. The games are good and the casters are doing an excellent job of staying on top of everything. Haters are currently in the process of hating. | ||

It's not that I have a problem with tastosis, but I think you and gretorp are very close to as good. You have the same depth of knowledge, you are both articulate and you make the same silly jokes. In all honesty, you guys casted most of NASL, you deserve to be casting the finals. | ||

Amazing games and series will happen with or without NASL, so I think its sort of a moot point to talk about the value that pro starcraft players bring in a tournament. I mean, you could be watching the greatest Super Bowl in history but it would be unbearable for the viewers to sit through long waits, terrible commentary and half assed audio. Well then you're dumb. If you're seriously more worried about waiting (go take a nap), bad commentary (which is false, because 5 of the best english casters in the world are at this event), and half assed audio (which is perfectly fine during the game, I know other than that it sucks but hey that's not what's important) than the point of the ACTUAL EVENT, then you shouldn't even be watching Starcraft. | ||

it's just like... they are NASL ^^ you get used to them and their weird casting style so even if you dont like it, it just feels right to have them here what did i dislike... hmmmm beginnig day 3: worst camera/lighting work ever with day9 introducing and there wasnt even a spot light anywhere installed those girls doing interviews (cmon the casters talk the whole game, see everything and ask questions during the game and the interview is consisting of *how do you feel?* - WE KNOW THAT HE FEELS GOOD!!!! I liked the games, that the stream was free the entire season in reasonable quality (IM LOOKING AT YOU GSL) and the casters - even if you have to get used to them | ||

Some of you should honestly give NASL a break, I know GOM is a great service but recognize that this is a new event and to be so crucial of small things is sort of disgusting, especially because this is a huge gamble on the sponsor / event organizer's part to bring you e-sports in the WEST. Show some support. On July 11 2011 08:07 BryanSC wrote: What is the reason for the stream lagging during big battles? GSL, MLG, TSL, user streams, EG Masters' Cup, they all work fine except for this stream. Are they running Pentium 2's or what? Really disappointing, I have yet to see a complete big battle go on. The lag could be due to, well I don't know, almost 80,000 viewers??? It's been fine for me and I am currently on a wireless P.O.S connection away from home. | ||

I gotta give you guys credit though, the first day of the NASL finals was just an all around disaster but you've really improved on sound quality, and the lag I got when watching the playoffs was nonexistant during the finals, there are still some issues that I hope you will resolve in future tournaments that have already been listed but the last two days were very enjoyable and the finals are really great now. Good job. | ||

I didn't watch much nasl since the beginning of the season, and they've really improved a lot. I think they're doing a good job, but I feel it's kinda obvious that they haven't had much experience casting for a live audience. I still think that if you're going to invite the biggest and most popular casters in the scene, and advertise them long before the event, you should have them cast the finals. You might say this is more fair for the casters, but for the fans it would be more fair to have Tastosis up there. I would be more open for this idea if Incontrol & Gretorp were a popular duo on their own right, but since they've had lukewarm reception at best, it just seems like a senseless decision. | ||

Amazing games, really amazing. I also would like to add that Gretorp&Incontrol is doing a great job casting this. Even though I was disappointed at first figuring we would have the immortals do the casting, I have now changed my mind. GOGO 7th game! | ||

I notice this weird thing with the observer that really bothers me; everytime a drop or some kind of engagement is about to occur, it's common for the camera to pan away just as it begins, and then return afterwards. isnt that the observer not the caster? | ||
