You were warned (dunno why for a free subjective opinion) but I second this. Nathanias ruins the game for me. Maybe even more than feardragon and that says a lot
Anyway hope for a good tourney with a Maru or Rogue win!

It always comes down to this, but i think as long as nobody is insulted directly, it should be ok to state his opinion.

Nathanias has the unlucky position of a desk-host nowadays, and even a charming fellow like kaelaris can't make that job in a way that its not mostly pointless.
It's just "this games gonna be great", "maybe it will be the same as they played this time" and "overused joke repeated ad nauseam" in any order for me, which is why i hardly watch any mainstream anymore. i also don't like all the casters that much, some are good, some just try to be "funny" most of the time, and i really prefere them to talk about the game, once they are out of the early game. (ZG and PiG are mostly good i think for example)
i guess overall, those guys do their job fine, since the viewernumbers are pretty solid

what would be nice would be more streams in english, i get why IEM doesn't do it, and its fine. Just would help people that only have streams in english for them to have more of a selection, to find something they can enjoy.

and let's be honest, the viewernumber of the mainstream would't be that much lower if some other guys cast in english

It's a little troubling for me that no Tastosis at the biggest event of the year. Feels like it has something to do with the fireing at blizzard, and now they don't pay their 2 main casters to over from Korea..

Classic and Losira are not going to come anyway. Really sad for Classic that he's not going in his final year.

Shame about Classic. He really looked like the best overall player last year.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I'm glad they added banners to the game, I think they're much more fun as rewards than sprays/portraits.

Yeah, no Tastosis is a huge bummer Other casters are good too but for major finals I think they are just a must. Nobody else can convey the hype nearly as good.
it will not really feel like an IEM Katowice now

I think Rotterdam is the best individual caster and has been for a couple years. He probably knows more than any other caster and his hype is great too.

Him and another caster would be just as good as tastosis imo


No Classic is a little crazy. Great chance he makes money, and decent chance he makes a lot. There must be something personal.

So how do these drops actually work? Do I have to watch the same stream for a total of 4 hours or can I watch multiple streams? Also, I tend to have several streams ongoing at the same time so I can follow the matches that I'm interested in. Does that add to the hours?

You have to watch in total 4-12h on ordee to claim them you can watch 4h main stream or 1h mainsteam 10m me and 2h and 50m crank
Just make sure you have your blizzard acc. linked to your acc. you are watching on twitch.

What are you talking about? Guy is great.
I absolutely hate bashing him, feardragon and others. If you think you can do better, go for it.

I legitimately enjoy Nathanias's casting, but this is such a dumb response. Being able to do better is not a prerequisite for being able to recognize and criticize when things aren't done well.

Also, the opportunity for a non-established figure to replace Nate on casts is zero and by the time anyone could establish themselves enough, SC2 esports will be pretty much dead.

It's okay to talk about caster preferences when relevant, but coming into an unrelated thread and just dropping a one-liner which basically goes "fuck that guy" isn't the kind of posting we want on TL
AdministratorHey HP can you redo everything youve ever done because i have a small complaint?

fair enough,

i would prefer that negative and positve statments a treated similar (people miss tastosis is fine, not missing someone else isn't) but thats just an opinion, no option is "Truer" than the other

and since it's your house and your rules the warning is fine

sorry for the OT

I think Kaelaris and Demu would be nice! But why The Queen got so many minions?
