Doesn't miss anything, and shows a lot the casters dont even notice (like drones being idle in Ciara v MC),I love it. Only problem is that he's sometimes too slow or forgets to show health bars in battles, I dunno, I just like seeing them. (see Huk v HasuObs G1 when huk attacks hasu's ramp for an example). Anyways not a huge thing, great observing over all.

I was extremely impressed by the observing. I agree with the others who have suggested that the casters could benefit from casting from the observer's view, though I don't know if that would be technically possible - I often had the feeling that they were missing pretty important events that I was only aware of because of Hot_Bid's hot, hot mouse-fondling.

It was indeed a nice job! Thanks to the feverish mouse-circling we got a lot of extra cool info on the games... I almost felt at times like listening to the casters was for the noobs, while the observer's cursor was where the pro translation was available

Observers don't get recognized for their work enough. Great freaking job this past weekend. Looking forward to the rest!

Best observing ever! Bad observers annoy me more then bad casters so it is really nice to get some pro observing from HotBid. Nice job!

Thank you so much for never missing a beat, some times I have to mute the stream for a few minutes, but thanks to your suggestive mouse circles, I never miss anything important.
