The GG is the moneyshot of a starcraft game. When IdrA leaves without GG, it's like a pulling out suddenly and leaving the room during sex.

Commentators should help the viewer get excited and bring it to a climax. As the OP says, part of the joy of watching a good starcraft game is the buildup of tension and final release with the GG.

What? The difference between seeing so and so say "gg," and "so and so has left the game" are extremely minor and superficial. If anything the fact that idra sometimes pulls out of a game rather quickly instead of waiting until it's super obvious he has zero chance actually makes the ending more exciting / dramatic, because the end of the game comes right after the key successful moment.

I think this whole thread shows that, unless you have an amazing talent which combines both, it is always good to have a duo cast, one who is always excited and manages to build tension, and one who can analyze everything.

Having it done by 2 people, means the tension is sometimes lowered when the analysis is being done. This is a good thing, as then Mr excited can build it up again. You can compare it to music, it doesn't work just playing LOUD all the time, you have to build up, slowly, back down sometimes, until you eventually build your climax.

And that doesn't have to be the GG, could well be any other moment in the games, as long as the entire cast in it's own tells a nice story, is nicely paced, offers a nice combination of variety and balance between excitement and analysis.

You see this happening quite a lot now too, so I think it has proven to be successful. And just yelling GG will not build any tension if it isn't in line with the rest of the cast. Just having the priest yell "AMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN" for 2 minutes after church, does not make it for an hour long exiting experience.
