When a player does something that the caster does not understand, the default reaction of the caster should be "I wonder why he is doing this. Maybe it is for x, y or z reason". Unfortunately, the default reaction for most casters is "THIS IS SO BAD HE SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS! HE SHOULD BE DOING X, Y or Z!!!". It really annoys me when casters opt for the second statement, because it assumes that the casters understand the game better than the players, which is never, ever true. In addition, the second statement is often made by the casters who have full information about both players, whilst the player only see's their side of the game. | ||

Except that casters have more information then the players and they can also see mistakes a player sometimes misses. So when someone forgets stim or siege mode upgrade, then I think it's perfectly fine for the caster's to call that out and mention the player "should not be doing that". You've been doing great lately imo Khaldor, but there have been quite a few times you've tripped over your own words this week. More than normally. I think it just may be tiredness as today especially was a long day. But that happens to everyone so no big deal. Really enjoying your casts with Artosis especially. | ||

first of all let me tell you that I like your casting overall. A little improvement that is possible IMO is to avoid some word repetitions. Example : "this player is really really really good". You do this alot. I think that doing it rarely is okay or can even be good thanks to the emphasis, but abusing this is bad and sometimes feel like you are looking for other things to say while repeating the word. That's all I have to say, respect ! | ||

He has a good level of game understanding, you will hear Wolf say silly things more often than Khaldor. He does a great job of appropriately elevating his voice and raising excitement at the right times. Always looks professional on camera. Doesn't run late anymore  Seems to create a great duo with everyone. I feel he fills the same role as Tasteless and does it as well, if not better. | ||

I just wanted to say that I am so impressed by the improvement you and Wolf have made together the last couple of months. Some time ago, I hesitated watching code A, I wasn't at all as intrigued by your casting as I was with many of the other community casters. I know I wasn't the only one feeling this way. Now however, you guys are great. Your individual skill, as well as your teamwork and synergy with Wolf has, at least to me, improved by so much. I am truly impressed by the amount of time and effort you guys must have put down to make these improvements. So kudos to you guys, and keep on improving! Kind regards! | ||

Just 3 examples of today: 1. Polt is not macroing well, he can make 3 tanks and he even has 4 idle starports...Polt is not building ANYTHING...(He had 50 vesp gas at that time...) 2. He is hesistating with that drop (He was flying towards 2 or 3 turrets and pulled back the 3 medivacs that were injured so he wouldn't lose them immediatly to the turrets) 3. Polt is just charging in (Marines vs Tanks).....(Polt pulled off one of the most amazing spilts there I have seen in a while...moving forward and pefectly splitting) Just stop actually thinking you know more of this game than the players....you don't! Most of the stuff you say when judging players is horribly stupid...(Which is my personal opinion cuz I think this way quite often) | ||

I think that one time when you were casting GSL with Artosis was some of the best casting I've ever seen (I think that was sometime in April), although the casting with Wolf is nice as well. But why do you keep pronouncing harassment and harassing so strangely? It's not like there's really anything wrong with it, but I guess everyone has those words that make you cringe and that you can not ignore even when you try. That aside your English is amazing. | ||

I dunno, it just seems like mistakes get pointed out because its the easy go-to thing to do and not because its actually good casting. | ||

That said, I do think Khaldor and Wolf do it a bit too much, especially in some situations where it's impossible to really say if it is a mistake. Or even worse, when it obviously wasn't a mistake from the get-go. But casters develop that over time, Tastosis has had a lot more time in Korea and seen a lot more games. | ||

It's a bit of a crutch you have Khaldor. You use the expression too often, and I think it'd be good if you tried to get rid of it. | ||
