Cast feels dynamic, especially with such awesome commentators and BW epic crowd. In GSL they just put on the screen as much shit as they possibly can, they often keep switching those useless bars (APM, units lost, workers lost, etc), they also leave all the units/buildings health bars on all the time. Instead of epic zooms, they just have a static camera in each players face all game long in the HUD. Cast feels static, especially with almost no crowd cheering. This is not true. In GSL only the units/buildings selected have health bars shown, and they mainly only show the Production and Units tab. After a successful (or even unsuccessful) harrassment they may bring up the "Units/Workers Lost" overlay on the middle for a brief amount of time to show how successful the harrassment. I never see them use the APM tab (not to say they never have I just haven't seen it), and I actually saw OGN use the APM in the first game I watched today, the PvP with Best vs whoever he was playing. | ||

That's 'cause the opinion you're quoting was a very stubborn biased OGN fan... I've seen Proleague for long time and GSL too and I both are good to their objetives. It's annoying how hard fans of Father BroodWar (I've been one for 11 years) have silly, biased and unfounded opinions. If you don't like Starcraft and Strarcraft 2 you're not a Starcraft fan at all in overall terms. The fact about the tabs was almost hillarious, only streamers use APM tabs... And for topic purposes, I'm more comfortable with GSL observer, Starcraft 2 flux of information (due higher dps and mobility) runs at higher rate and it's necesary certain extra info for enjoy the game... Both systems are designed for their purposes... | ||

Anyways, I prefer GSL's as they often show information such as upgrades, worker count, etc. Plus, during a big battle I want to watch just the fight, not the player's reactions. it is because they brodcast for tv, but I read somewhere they want to change and make it better next year | ||

 .What I really wish the observers would do is get really good at manipulating the camera, bringing more cinemamatic artsy stuff! When all it is is watching big (beathball^2) engagements or big busts, they can make it look REALLY cool if they want to. Maybe not too much in the live games, but certainly in the replay review I would really like to see them:
The last one would be AMAZING for situations like "CJ Z" 's first bust/agression versus "KT T". When the big zergling army is streaming in, how sick would it be if in the recap you could watch that engagement, flying low over the zerglings as they run in and then panning out. It would finally look like a semi-realistic movie, rather than a strategy 'simulator'. I should do a video of Observer techniques I wish would be implemented, I guess. It's all about using the tools to the most of their potential, and I would prefer a bit of artsyness over straight-forward strategy. | ||
