So misleading your audience is okay as long as some people understand it? So you would be okay with a football caster talking about how the point of the game is to get grand slams because you understand the rules already? | ||

Many opinions noted, but please try to stay constructive. I will try to continue to read up on any criticisms of me with any casting that I do. Sorry if you don't feel IPL4 was up to par but I put tons of effort into my analysis casting before and during the event. All I can say is that I will continue to try and improve and impress everytime I put myself out there. Cheers, PainUser | ||

He seemed fine to me, and certainly I didn't see any "misleading" things equivalent to "a football caster talking about how the point of the game is to get grand slams." I don't learn anything from any casters basically except when idra or another pro gamer casts analytically. Therefore, I like casters that I like. I wouldn't be playing SC2 if it wasn't for HD's casts on youtube, as I'm sure is the case for several hundred (thousand?) people so he'll always have a place in my heart. Still, I have no idea why HD was getting so much hate. | ||

there is a build specifically designed for that version of the map where you pool slightly early, take the gold, double gas in your main and do a baneling bust to exploit the wide ramp. i expect this is what Nestea was going to do given that he took the gold as his 2nd base instead of his 3rd. overall i think he does a good job but he could benefit from studying some of the matchups that he may not be as familiar with. | ||

He's definitely not "misleading" the audience, and even if some of his information isn't entirely sophisticated or game revealing it's not like HD is saying "Build grunts and paladins and gyrocopters!"...he still can commentate the game without having a tertiary level of game knowledge. And again, misleading is a pretty bold word manggg. | ||

Much love dude, but it makes me cringe every time (and it happens a LOT). Also I just want to say that the hate is way over the top. You guys both do a great job which the community at large appreciates and enjoys. IPL4 was a fantastic tourney (even if I wasnt able to catch all of it). Please dont let the haters get to you! | ||

Just hurtful stuff and not helpful. And at the end of the day, what the fans want/like is the best way to do things. I still try to maintain my style but adapting can't possibly hurt. i hope you realize that people that support you guys are simply not taking their time making sure you get that message ("hey PainUser, great job on IPL" ^^), while the loud minority runs rampant shitting on everything and leaving the feel of overall fan dissatisfaction, which actually isn't the case i'm all for constructive criticsm and ideas on how to improve, but when 7 out of 10 guys shit on YOUR game knowledge of all the casters out there, just because you were paired up with HD - and we all know HD is no Day9 so let's make sure we point it out every time we get the chance - it's really hard to take them seriously, and the difference between bashing and criticsm becomes very clear. so don't take anything away from yourself because of such individuals, their interest in sc2 will pass or they will get out of puberty, either way, they'll learn that you just don't do shit like that without getting your facts straight. we all know you're the next best thing to Artosis when it comes to analytical casting, so keep it up and ignore the haters p.s. no show against BoxeR in NASL S1 was a dumb and disrespectfull thing to do, especially considering you were just starting to get a lot more exposure back then... /constructive criticsm | ||

For HD, if you don't know a lot, thats ok, but less predictions on what the player is going to do, because its just awkward when you are way off. Avoiding those situations would go a long way to getting people off your back, bc otherwise you are authentic and have a good casting voice and can play by play pretty well. | ||

HD: Your knowledge of non-zerg matchups is a bit lacking and it might be better to really stick to play-by-play in that case. Your voice is smooth as butter and best served when sticking most to play-by-play Painuser, I think you're a funny guy and I always enjoy hearing your thoughts on games. Don't let the haters get to you :-) | ||

If there's one thing I could ask for you guys to improve it would just be please stop using filler sentences as much. It seemed like HD was a bit more guilty of it, but that's natural because he's generally a play by play caster. But I can't stand certain sentences that are just thrown out there a couple times every game. "As best as he possibly can" springs to mind. Of course he's trying the best he can, that's just a dumb filler line. Other than that keep up the good work :D | ||

Are you guys doing regular casting anymore? I remember seeing only cats&doa on ipl streams. Also the times one of you were playing and the other one commenting/coaching were really good. | ||
