I typically like the game to be in the standard view, no zoom or rotation. Occasionally some extra bars with info or hiding the game UI can be fine, but only if done well, which takes a lot of time to figure out.
I don't really care whether health bars are on since I always played SC2 and WC3 with them on so it doesn't really bother me, but I think to watch it's a little better without them.
I like how GSL is a little smoother with the drag scrolling. It's really nice. Otherwise, I pretty much prefer OGN, other than being 4:3.

I really prefer the GSL style if only for the production tab. I feel like I just have no clue what's going on without it and get really annoyed when it dissapears. If OGN kept it open, then I wouldn't really mind either way.

Honestly the ogn style of observing is better for BW because there were no production tabs. I like Gom's (St Legends) simply because he points out important stuff (stuff that is unexpected or crazy army maneuvers) and never misses anything. Legend is the eye of Sauron.

I get the arguments in favor of no production tab or the like, but I feel SC2 without that information can look really random, because an attack at a perfect timing is indistinguishable from an attack that does tons of damage for no apparent reason. We'll see, though, as OGN gets used to it.

I'm not sure which matches some of you watched. OGN definitely had the production tab up a lot. ST Legend > all other observers.

I prefer OGN's STYLE, but I wish the observer would show the production tab a lot more.

This poll is imbalanced since OGN has existed far longer than GOM. OGN's POV style is by far the best way and lets only hope that MLG pays more attention to their Brood War casts and how observing SHOULD BE DONE!!!

Legend and Heaven are brilliantly good at obs, but they aren't quick enough with catching everything.
The GSL gets +2 fancy points, because the little they miss, they make up for it with Nuke silo launches, constant info tab switches, etc.
OGN catches 99.99^% of everything, so I'd give it to them, considering that's more important IMO.
|
Can someone explain me what exactly is OGN style? Like what is it that they do that is so different than GSL and other foreign tournaments.
|
kespa league is casting in 4;3 resolution which is completely stupid. hope they fix it soon... and regards to the production tab .. it's vital to understand how people are thinking and reacting
|
I like both. GSL is nice because they switch through the different unit count/production/apm tabs. OGN has the epic face shots. Both could really learn from each other imo. Oh, 4:3 in SC2 looks awful....
|
im surprised there were no fpv in the spl yesterday.
|
Eh... GSL observer clicks on things already.. I tend to ignore the production tab for most of the time. I only glance at it occasionally or when it shows how many of each type of unit they have.
|
The OGN style for what I saw in Sc2 wasnt even close to GSL standards. Legend and Heaven from GomTV are SUPERB observers, far better than the OGN observer yesterday... at least in Sc2.

I hated the face shots while watching SPL. I was always screaming for them to cut back to the action. Is that Brood War standard? The gamers face doesn't even show any emotion while they're playing, so it seems pretty unnecessary.

I haven't really watched much of either so what's the difference between those and the OGN style? OGN is awesome, with dramatic close-ups in players faces and the observer never misses any action, the screen is overall cleaner (no unit health bar, no APM bar, no units lost bar, or any other of the useless bars). 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.
Yeah, thats a totally objective and unbiased assessment..

The Kespa face zoom when someone big happens to me is amazing. It links the game with real world and makes it look like a sport. It's brilliant.
