Orb you're doing amazing! No offense to Gretorp but I feel that your casting would be peerfect with a caster like tasteless/husky. Really your colour commentating doesnt fit well with Gretorp.

To be honest when I first saw you cast I thought "who is this kid", but I was surprised to see you carry on a level of semi-professionalism during the K weekly when you first started up. You speak well, and clearly and there have been only a few times your analysis has been off the mark, but this is unimportant because nobody has a perfect understanding of the game. A lot of casters tend to trip over their words and often, especially in front of a crowd.

So good job. Apparently people want gretorp's head and nasl to die, I'm not one of those people, but I will say some casters are more entertaining than others to watch, each of them bring something different to the table, and almost all are otherwise semi-well rounded.

IE: I'm a master level random player myself, even though I don't get to mechanically improve (practice) often I have a fairly good understanding of the game, but I don't have a problem with casting from dj wheat or husky because they do what they do well instead of trying to do something they're not comfortable/awkward with.

I think it's better to let people be good at what they are good at.
Let Husky be Husky and let day[9] be day[9].

I really really like the analytical side of your cast :D Very good stuff.

I feel that you need to really add just a smidge more of your character in during downtime. During game the analytical stance is spectacular, however, you really need to show more of your personal side during the inbetween games after a short breakdown has been done.

Also, this could be worked out when you find your casting soulmate. The person whom you really work well with.

Orb - your casting in NASL has been excellent, and I'm happy to see you getting more public exposure so others can see just how awesome you are. Please don't change your style too much - you are awesome as you are. :O!

I notice you talk fast when exciting fights or events start to happen. Calm down and take deep breathes and it will slowly natural come out. Other than that, all is good orb!

Your doing a very good job, Orb. Just add a bit more personality, and it will be better. Let your co-caster cut in a little more often.

keep it up

Good technical analysis, but I think extensive experience solo casting leads to talking too much relative to your co caster. I also think you should stick to analysis or show some more energy if you want to mix in some play by play.

Enjoy your casting.

Biggest thing is reduce your speed some. At times you talk too fast and it's distracting, not every tiny detail needs to be pointed out. The other item is learn to work with your co-caster. You have to work off each other. That is something that is really best done with someone you cast with a lot. Gretorp hurts you and makes you look worse then you are, I would suggest avoiding casting with him as he is horrendus. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing/hearing more of your casts.

You are one of my two favorite casters for SC2. Love the analysis. I'm not a great player myself, so I learn a lot from your casts. Good, clear voice. Sometimes you talk a bit too fast, but I can follow you for the most part.

yea thats been my main critique from the start.
get just a little bulkier, get rid of those nerd glasses and youll be the most baller commentator in no time


So.. got him to be a better casting you want to see his eyes and you want him to work out...

I can see those issues seriously affecting casting.. of guy vs guy mud wrestling, not sc2.

Your casting is very good orb, keep working on it.


why u so srs?

You called a couple of things wrong, which you should absolutely NEVER do. Otherwise you aren't fulfilling your role as a caster.

For example, when you saw that Puma had moved a factory on to his only tech lab instead of getting bio upgrades, you called that as a macro play which it absolutely isn't to anyone who knows anything about TvZ....


ya that was bad but that was really the only blunder I can think of.
Theres no caster that always calls everything right, goes for day9 and artosis too so its kinda silly to say he didnt fulfill his role as a caster.

Definitely a fan of your casting. You're probably the only "less-famous" commentator that I would put in my top tier (along with the more famous names of casters like Artosis and Day[9]).

-You have a great knowledge of the game, so your analysis and occasional predictions/ reasonings are great.
-You seem to come alive at the right times (when things get very interesting or when battles occur), and your level of enthusiasm is very good. It doesn't sound fake or forced. Sometimes, you slur words as you speed up though, which may or may not be something you can work on.
-You work well with a co-caster and can enjoy a little friendly chatter at the start of the game, but you don't spend 50% of the entire game talking about non-StarCraft nonsense (PainUser? Gretorp? Looking at you guys...). This makes me sooo happy.

Keep up the fantastic work
