Maybe taking time for questions between games. That'd be kind of awesome. Either from chat/twitter/whatevs. anyways, <3s | ||

I know the unfortunate comparison is Day[9], so I guess it bares mentioning that Day[9] ALWAYS knows what's coming and can explain how these things relate to the late-game (which he has seen). For instance: Artosis will say things like "If Nestea is considering Broodlords later, this may be a good move." Day[9] will say things like "And this move makes sense, as Nestea moves towards the late game with Brood Lords in mind." It just makes the analysis feel more solid and less on-the-fly. I know it's just the first episode (and it was really good, I obviously watched) but that's some constructive criticism. Overall, I enjoyed the episode!  well Day9 has his own style, I know you aren't hating on artosis but everyone needs to stop comparing and just enjoy if you want detailed anaylsis where it takes 1 hour to go over 1 game then day9 is for you, but artosis is much more of a theory crafter and is good at it and I don't care if it's on the fly because I play SC2 on the fly and even though I might have something prepared, something always changes. | ||

However, if you could credit how you got the replay 'til AFTER the gg, it would be appreciated. I mean, yeah, I watch this for analysis, but there's also a factor of "who's gonna win this?". But when you start by saying something like "ToD sent me this replay vs NaDa".. well I don't think ToD would send a replay of him losing, even for analytical purposes. Thanks again for a great show! | ||

During the Nonge/Nestea game, it just seemed like he was casting it and arbitrarily pausing to reflect on game decisions. This is what happens when he doesn't spend 3 hours planning his 1 hour show. The good news is that he's such a good analyst that he can still say the right things about a game that he might be going through in depth for the first time. I enjoyed the show and I look forward to more! | ||

What Artosis does however is show it from a players mindset. Just like the players playing the game, he doesn't know the outcome so what he does is explain the thought process and options a player might have in each situation, as well as giving explanations why a player does certain decisions. The point doesn't seem to be to show "this is how a lingfestor player transitions into broodlords" (random example) but rather "this is how a player might think and plan out his game based on what he sees". Its like going into the players heads and I personally find it immensely helpful as it gives me new ideas and intricate defails that I might not have thought of myself. | ||

Or maybe just after each game/replay. That would definitely make the show more viewer interactive. Overall, great show, thank you Artosis yes and then we can get some professional graphics to show during the pauses, and sell t-shirts no...artosis just wants to talk into a microphone about a replay he's watching and make us all smart. isn't that good enough? | ||
