Who knows maybe they will make up. He has made up with people he's hated on in the past like Incontrol, Travis, nathanias and even hotbid who he hated on for blacklisting him but is now supporting his kickstarter.
if they're both proffessionals, then we won't notice a thing.

I can understand that Events like it to have Translator/Host in one person, but when you have RedEye, why dont they take a Translator who is able to create more hype, who transports the players phrases better and maybe has some better questions like this allways "hey winner, why did you lose game X and how did you come back so hard" if someone won not X-0 and the other question is allways "this start, did you prepair that build or did you just go for it?" and finally there is "here are so many fans who cheer for you (shows us the 20 people crowd in Burbank ), what do you want to say to them?".
WCS America and RB had such great interviews, the last events... arg. Sorry Smix.
I have to disagree. There's always room for improvement and then there's nit picking. I've been watching sc2 interviews for 4 years and she's one of the best we've had. Probably because she knows the game and the players. Plus she's female which adds diversity to any line up.

Yes, probably. In truth it seemed like Day9 took note and visibly changed his approach after that time. It wasn't just random hate, people tell the esports journalists things off the record.. it's just considered professional suicide in SC2 to say anything bad about day 9, even now players don't explicitly say his name when talking about why those caster tourneys will never happen. But then maybe he seems more fake to the cynical English ear, he gives off a strong sound confident and people will believe you vibe that some find very irksome.
And lets not forget Richard lets the booze talk all too often... and then tries to style it out. Always entertaining

Day 9 has much less to worry about than other casters. You can tell from his analysis that he is surprisingly in touch with the meta. He makes bold predictions, even if they are wrong. He mentions specific builds and timings. The guy is a brood war legend and achieved a high enough level in sc2 to let it carry him for a long, long time. I can't say the same for a couple other wcs casters. Many generic low level casts full of "solid," "standard," and "macro game."

haha Day9's predictions are quite reliably wrong this day and age. bold yes, informed? maybe not. i would say one of the best predictors in the scene right now is Apollo

I've never seen any sport puting so much emphasis on the people describing what's going on, then on what's actually going on. Even previous RTS games, such as Warcraft 3, didn't put nearly as much effort and money into it. Kind of says a lot when you think about it.
Casters matter so much dude. I've met people who said they only watched SC2 because they like Tasteless and Day9.
They shouldn't though. It should be about the players and game - not who's talking. (Not to say we don't need quality casters etc, just saying that the emphasis should be players.)
Players don't have very much exposure in the e-sports world compared to casters and there's really not that much to be excited about with SC2 since nearly every game is the same.
I think it's fine if the casters are hyped out a bit. I know there were times when I looked forward to watching certain hosts and commentators when watching non-esports. Sometimes watching esports reminds me of watching F1. Can you imagine how boring it'd be if all you do is watching cars go around in circles without someone explaining that backstory and what's going on.

If I had a shot every time Day9 miscalled a game or situation just to hype it up, I'd have liver cirrhosis right now. Day9 definitely is one of those casters who prefers hype over what is actually happening, and not everyone likes. Nathanias tends to do that as well.
As Caster Day9 biggest strenght is talking/telling into camera, this is extremely appreciated to new people & fans & neutral viewers. Other casters (they do know more about this game) act like they are talking with their best friends.
