I hope Khaldor's zerg knowledge is up to snuff, because otherwise we will only have knowledgeable protoss casting. Or, if we're lucky, some of the players might decide to join the fun. | ||

I was top 50 of all master league players in NA before I left for Dreamhack and couldn't play as much :D As for the Protoss I actually play a lot of that as well and am also master with them ^^ | ||

I never thought about it before, but the other night I was sure I was listening to Mr.Bitter and it turned out to be Nathanias! You can tell 'em apart easily once you focus on it, by the way they construct their sentences. I like 'em both, but Mr.Bitter has been one of my favorite casters for a long time. | ||

And I had no idea Bitter had been conscripted into WoT. Could suit him though, "I don't know Rommel!" | ||

He get's things wrong too often, calls games too early, incessant shouting of non excitement over trivial moves, and the use of "internet" slang is very cringey. Really looking forward to Grubby and Nathanias. The event should be fun! It seems like something that happens to many veteran casters eventually. It's such a protected, insular community at that level that complacency doesn't really have much in the way of consequences. Not saying Khaldor is like that, he comes across as a hard working guy, not to mention a hard working out guy. Still though, non-pro gamer casters in general tend to be rather mediocre, I typically run on mute unless some specific people are casting. | ||

1. Casters of type "intelligence" which talk about what the players are thinking and what they are probably gonna do, or they aren't going to, but should do // Tasteless, Apollo 2. Casters that talk about player's performances and what they're usually capable of and did they execute well what was supposed to // Artosis, Nathanias, ToD 3. Casters I like to call "encyclopedia" casters which "FOLLOW" more than they cast - they know if a player did well (insert days) ago // Khaldor, Mr.Bitter, Total-Biscuit (maybe), there used to be the Super-Daniel-Man back in the days if you know what I mean 4. Casters/Players which role is to entertain and keep viewers closer to the content, or even make players interact (the later is usually done by the host-role) // Day[9], iNControl 5. There are casters/players that give insight of their own // Grubby, Scarlett, TLO, e.t.c. 6. There are casters/players that do the critique and give us the glorious insight of the possible w.t.f. factor in the situation in the game that currently might be going on.. ofc --> their usual contribution base is the category #1, but cause them also being players themselves -- they can do even better than that when the time comes  // MC being the best example of this.. Followed closely by IdrA (maybe), though not sure if it's even close.. Instead of talking BS about any of them - try to get/understand which group they usually belong to and judge the quality of them by that measure But yah - pretty happy about the lineup TBH.. It's pretty good for not a WCS major event IMO | ||

However, I can totally relate based on my experiences in other games. Sometimes it's not *that* you lost, but *how* you lost. Even if you go 50/50 against a certain opponent, it can be very frustrating when that opponent beats you in a certain way; TSG or mage/rogue in WoW arena, Freeze Mages in Hearthstone, Singed in LoL, or all-in/cheese in SC2. | ||

Well...I hate to go there, but it's not like the Terran QQ is completely unjustified in TvP. Predicting all ins can be like smashing your head against a wall. No fun And if you're someone that tries to play macro (Nathanias tends to play macro games from what I've seen), it can be frustrating as hell losing games outright to all ins. IdrA does the same exact things, but he has such a polarizing personality (same as NaNiwa) that it makes up for it. I guess people either love or hate the people that are honest about how they feel with certain things. There's nothing in between it apparently. I'd rather have someone that's honest with how they feel about the game and provide honest feedback than someone that just completely bs's and makes it seem like they love the game all the time and think everything about it is perfect. Just seems to insincere. I like the passion that people who are honest about the game have, because it makes them seem like they want to see the game be the best it can. Obviously there are people who feel that they just want easier wins, but I tend to think it's the other way. | ||
