Positives; 1) Extremely clear speaking, you hardly ever misspeak 2) Excellent analysis, you're always really specific about where somebody messed up. 3) Great game knowledge, 4) no annoying habits, just really enjoyable, professional might be the right word. Negatives: (constructive criticism maybe) 1) Maybe try to be a little more specific about where the winning person went right, ie, you're really good at #2 above, try to switch it around on the positive side very specifically about the guy who won That's all I can think of. I don't agree with the people saying inject more humor and your personality. You do enough of this and humor isn't really needed. Listening to artosis and tasteless say "this guy is so good" "this guy is ACTUALLY so so good" or the nestea jokes for 5 minutes isn't enjoyable. Professional casters for other sports don't try to be humorous all day. I would just say improve your positives. I don't even know what race you play and I've heard you cast a lot. That's pretty good at being unbiased. Maybe try to increase your knowledge of the races you don't know as well. | ||

To be better like other said some more personality... from what i seen tend to talk a bit linear, or either hyper fast. I think you could become similar to an artosis, just slow down a bit, you don't have to analyze everything but just focus on the meaningful stuff, that should make it so you don't have to talk in rapid fire at times. Instead you can have a varied pace to your speech maybe insightful calm and steady lows, screaming highs... things like that. Also maybe work in trademark things like artosis squeel "IMMM NESTAEAA" etc. would be a good way to inject some life in casts and differentiate yourself. | ||

.Personally I think you do really well alone; most other casters sound mediocre to me and just do a very loud play by play or make the same unoriginal, tiresome jokes, and so I feel it would degrade the casting quality overall. I also like how you actually call players out when they do something silly, like on the Korean weekly when a player just let an scv scout into their base when they could have raised the supply depot  . But you do it in a friendly yet exasperated way, so it sounds good. | ||

However, your constantly missing things that are happening on the mini-map which take away from the overall enjoyment of your casts. It's understandable to miss stuff during a hectic portion of a game, but I've seen you miss things such as really important battles and only end up seeing them 5 seconds afterwards where as you were previously just looking at bases on the map. So to sum up, casting is great, however, if you want to make the most enjoyable casts, work on spotting as much as you can on your minimap and be on top of things such as main engagements. Thanks, this is something I constantly try to work on. Being the caster AND the cameraman at the same time is a lot of work and pressure, and often times it's just too much for your brain to keep up with everything at once. Being colorblind and having color combinations like red/green or blue/purple (for example) certainly doesn't help either. I want to get better but it's something that's quite hard to work on. You might pay attention just fine to the minimap 99% of the time, but all it takes is over a 6-hour casting block messing up 1 time and happening to be tunnel-visioning during the moment something important happens and BAM, it's too late when you go look at the aftermath. Still there is no excuse, it is just something I will have to work to improve as much as possible. If players would actually start following tournament rules and use the mandatory color assignments this wouldn't be nearly as big of a problem though...  | ||

The best thing you can do for your casting is not do it anymore. Sounds like this streamer is jelly at Orb's popularity. Love your casting Orb! I didn't like it so much at first, when you just started out for NASL, but you've easily become one of your casters that can combine enthusiasm as well as game knowledge. It makes me sad about your colour blindness. Should force the players to pick other colours lawl. Anyways keep developing the way you have, can only go the right way from there. Hope you get hired for some of the live tournament events would be awesome. Good luck! | ||

Some constructive feedback: 1) the enhanced colors is not a pleasing way to view the game, as it is something most players and viewers aren't accustomed to seeing. 2) the red haze comes down when you read chat. You react far too much to the trolls and sometimes become angry. Also, you sometimes give off a vibe of not caring for your audience. In one Korean weekly I caught you saying "well I don't think you all understand how this works" in response to some analysis by chat. This shows a bit of superiority. You also bad mouth your chat sometimes, we know it's directed at trolls, but it still feels like it is at us. 3) some of your reactions to in game events are easy to identify as not genuine. For instance, a game winning push, the emotion is somewhat empty. Having an emotional reaction to the game is very entertaining, that is what makes casters great. I hope this helps man. I hope to see you grow as a successful caster. | ||

It gets old every other game to hear "those are the best FF I have ever seen" and takes away credibility.... Nothing wrong with getting excited once in a awhile BUT orb has a near perfect balance of casting + analysis.... orb, don't change a damn thing! | ||
