Valdez needs to film himself or at least listen to himself objectively, his humor is mega awkward and usually badly timed, he also comes off as extremely negative alot of the times. He has good game knowledge but I often hear him just reiterating what Wolf said but less eloquently and more cringey. ZombieGrub is good I don't understand the hate she gets, for a girl she really knows what she's talking about, honestly Rifkin is the worst caster ever, mediocre game knowledge combined with maximum cringe mode side humor/commentary. | ||

A person casting with a team of 8 people handling every aspect of the production for a 2 hour show has everything going in their favour for creating a solid show/cast. OTOH, in the early days of BTTV you had 2 people handling everything doing 12 hour broadcasts. You're going to get rough spots under those conditions. ZombieGrub and Rifkin aren't going to provide John Madden level commentary for every minute of a 12 hour extended marathon. | ||

So smooth, relaxed, not forcing anything. Like his balance between the extremes that other casters often go to. <3 | ||

Esports is heavily male, starcraft is nearly 100% male, for any woman to be compared to other casters REQUIRES one to examine the fact that she has a GLARING biological difference, that's how data works. Just because someone calls someone what they are does not make it sexist. This is not a liberal arts campus, calm down. I have no opinion on ZG casting. I stopped watching BTTV when they started getting preachy. | ||

I stopped watching BTTV when they started getting preachy. Just curious, when/how did BTTV get preachy? Didn't get to see this as I personally stopped following them the moment they started promoting a website that allows for the selling of stolen game keys and extorts its customers. Also their mods ban you in their chat if you point out how that website hurts developers' livelihoods. | ||

I stopped watching BTTV when they started getting preachy. It doesn't require any examinations like that though. You don't hear people say "for a really short guy, Nathanias knows his shit" or "for an indian guy, feardragon sure is great", it's just not necessary to add that detail.

What is wrong with ToD? I have been loving his casting lately, same with Rotti and Incontrol, I think I prefer all 3 of them over Tasteless who I still think is pretty good I 100% agree about Rifkin thou, he just bothers me | ||

First i really dislike his accent (even though im french canadian, i still dislike his accent). Also, i always thought he was one of the most bias caster (not sure if that an opinion or a fact). For rotti, i also dislike his accent (maybe im just quite picky vs non native english speaker ) but hes not bias much so thats why hes higher than Tod. (when he was with mr bitter, he would even be close to god tier). And honestly, i think incontrol can be funny, but he tries way too hard to be funny, and for me, too much is like not enough. I mainly watch the sc2 for the gameplay and to cheer for my fav players, not for the comedy aspect (unless im watching non korean gameplay  ) | ||

They need to enable the in game music and turn it up. Their stream is really hard for me to watch most of the time, even though Zombiegrub is great. | ||
