Just in case it was not, I wanted to say, I was shocked when Wardi used his Referee position during the Map-testing tourney to add salt to the wound when Harstem flew his pheonix into the neutral missile turrets and Wardi in that moment, in the in-game chat wrote to all "Play of the tournament" and "GG". My dainty soul would have been flabbergasted in Harstem's position. It probably was nothing and Wardi probably would never do this in a more serious setting, maybe he send it to all on accident. Still shocked I tell you, I was. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/29144070441:10 He probably was also not nagging harstem, but pointing out the serendipitous flow of actions. I just would mind if Refs starting chatting in all game chat while I am playing a tournament. I'm good friends with Harstem and we were already memeing about the turrets a lot. Also there was a separate prize pool for "play of the tournament using the maps", so the "Play of the tournament" was a reference to that, which is what made it funny in general.
Thank you for providing context to the situation.

Watched wardi casting again today after I 'found' him doing the TL map tourney. So here I am in the feedback thread to laud his general composure and great play-by-play casting, even more impressive when he's casting solo for several hours. Top-notch stuff and a pleasure.
My posts as of late have been ridiculously fanboy-y, but a lot of really good stuff all around the sc2 scene!

I also have huge respect for Wardi for being a champ and pulling those long ass days solo casting, it's a lot of hard work he is doing to bring us all that content. Just wanted to voice my appreciation!

pig, maynarde, and zepph did a nice job on the Montreal Qualifiers last night. The quality of the games was no where near GSL level and some of the wins looked really obvious 3 minutes before the win actually occurred. Some players made some big obvious errors. The casters did a nice job of NOT faking excitement or pretending it was a shocking turn of events that got the win.
The casters were dealt a pretty bad hand with some pretty obvious games with silly errors by players. The casters did a nice job with the weak hand they were dealt. Maynarde is a better caster when he doesn't yell and scream a lot and him losing the ability to yell due to a weekend of screaming was a blessing in disguise. If Maynarde cut his yelling/screaming in half he'd be a better caster. Some of his yelling really fits the moment. Some of it is pointless. Pig was his usual humble, genius self.
ggs people!

Love your casting, love the Pylon, love your snarky and abrasive humor.
Only piece of advice: do not feed the trolls.

during the last game of the Heromarine v. Mana series...
whoever is casting with ZombieGrub provides solid info, however, he uses the word "like" approximately 10 times in a 4 or 5 sentence stretch. if he removed the word "like" he'd lose no information and his communication would be clearer.

like you don't know who is feardragon

later on he announced his name. interesting there were no graphics showing the caster names after the games.

He isn't exactly a household name in SC2

One of the things that make SC2 casting the best, is that we are not on the forefront of esports and we do not have to act professional and wear fancy clothes. I love the banter. I love the meme's. I love the real-talk.

I agree that sc2 is no longer on the forefront of esports, however, the later is what continues to prevent it from being so.

Yeah, even I follow SC2 since the beginning and had no ideia who the guy was when I saw him casting with zombiegrub.

How can you NOT know "99% useless facts with Feardragon?". There are some absolute gems to be found there. Granted, the images don't actually show his face, but at least you get to know the name

Tastosis was specially funny today, thanks for the laughs.

I started watching with 1.25x speed from here https://www.twitch.tv/videos/300417617?t=02h28m47s because, frankly, I didn't want to scroll or jump ahead to get the spoiler of who wins by mistake, and had to laugh aloud several times (similarity to the duo here is in part uncanny, with the upwards pitch from the fast-forwarding and all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW0SsH00eyQ)

I think you all are focusing to much on the official caster I think that all the other caster that are not casting Wcs events are also very good.
Also other language caster exist too ^^

Honest feedback?
Study what wardi does. All of it. Down to how he crosses his t's and dots his i's.
And then do the exact opposite. Sorry but it's true.

I would greatly appreciate it if casters would make more of an effort to explain the choices that zerg players make. I can't count the number of times I've heard the 2-1-1 explained, but I can't even remember one time when a roach ravager timing attack was explained other than tasteless saying that 'he's going for more of a battle zerg style'.
A good example is serral v innovation on dream catcher. Before the hellbats even showed up it was obvious what serrals plan was. He took very early gas at his natural, had lair and overlord speed on the way and a roach warren. I think he might have delayed his third as well, I can't remember for certain. But the point is any zerg worth his salt can instantly recognize what serrals plan was, but more attention was given to the fact that the hellbats killed 8 drones. And as we saw (and any decent zerg knows) killing 8 workers with a hellbat attack means next to nothing when all the hellbats died and there's a ravager ling queen all in headed for the counter attack. I honestly doubt serral even cared about trying to save those drones.
Things like that drive me up the wall because when the zerg player wins I feel like no appreciation was shown for the choices they made that lead to that win. And a large part of the audience probably doesn't understand what just happened and feels like zerg just a moved and won.

Wait what? He may not be your cup'a tea, but the guy puts in the hours and effort. You have to acknowledge that.
Looking at your previous posts, I'm guessing that positive feedback is not your cup'a tea either.
