We can arrange a net cafe meet up with some of the Malaysia community if you like. Private room net cafe etc. Sounds great! I'll contact you closer to time to check if you're available | ||

Thirdly English casting. Although 90% of the time the english cast is done well, there are a bunch of things that need to change. The cast needs to be more scheduled and less random. The crappy jokes need to stop (not the good ones, just the crappy ones). Heres a pointer, if you are laughing mid joke at your own joke, its probably not funny. It also needs to bring more insight into the game, more facts more figures and probably a 3rd person. ...Talk to Wolf and Unstable? :p JK. Anyways, Tastosis is the most loved commentary duo by the foreigners, nothing needs to change. Sure there's some bad jokes and awkard moments but part of a caster's job is to be able to fill in time with random banter. It happens at MLG (even moreso), Dreamhack, IEM, whatever. Not really something to complain about. With that aside, nice writeup and glad everyone enjoys/enjoyed it there. | ||

You just proved my point The random banter moments are only happening in foreign events. Koreans dont seem to have those moments. I love artosis and tasteless, consider them great people, and as my friends. But they do have moments of the 10%. Unstable is probably the least 'joking' of the casters out there but has other things to fix. I am working on a few things with him as we speak. Wolf has the joke problem. Doa, moletrap, kelly, pretty much every foreign caster really. Basically, my point is, when pitching sc2 to someone who isn't from SC2, they dont care if its tastosis, or even me commentating, the dumb jokes just make it look unprofessional... Hence my view they have to stop. | ||

Not really something to complain about. With that aside, nice writeup and glad everyone enjoys/enjoyed it there. The main problem I have with the English casting is how they talk down to the players. Most casters are guilty of this, but especially Wolf, and most of the time he's not even strategically correct. I can hardly remember a game where he doesn't say how bad a certain player was when he's missing a drop in the main or just doesn't understand exactly what it is the player is doing. I don't mind a player being criticized when he is making blatant mistakes, but I do mind a player being criticized for the simple fact that he lost a battle, or is falling behind in the game when they are competing against some of the best players in the world. | ||

Supporting with more then great drinks? Edit: And I agree with Boss about the jokes. Especial on NASL where they had a loooot of time between games. The jokes was most times very silly. Yes sometimes they where great but most times it was unprofessional | ||

Hence my view they have to stop. Isn't that part of how things work in the West though? In sports there's plenty of breaks between plays, intermissions, whatever and the broadcasters will sometimes go off on a tangent or make a joke here and then. There will always be downtime and there's only so much you can say about previous games, the player, their team, whatever. There are some moments I wish Tasteless would cut his story short and start talking about something the observer just scrolled across in-game early on but the rest is enjoyable. | ||
