Yeah good obsing HB

Every now and then you miss a drop initiating or something, but it's not a common problem, and the casters often forget to make note of it too
If you watch Godzilla backwards it's about a benevolent lizard who helps rebuild a city and then moonwalks into the ocean.

HotBid, have you considered using the "remove HUD" function? I know over- or misusing it could result in a very lame spectator experience, but if it's used at the right time and in proper frequency it really raises the "WHOA-factor" and still maintains it's uniqueness.

You're doing a really good job though, it's quite funny when we know much much more than the casters themselves. :D

Even though I explicitley thought off how good the OBS where yeasterday, I never would have thought of making a thread like this. Shame on me. We need more love on the internet.

Appreciation well deserved, you do a great job Sir. <3

Just another noob

The observing in TSL really is great. The little things like pointing out supply block or banked resources or started upgrades etc. really makes you feel like you're never missing anything. Only areas to be improved upon imo would be a little more unit follow for scouting workes and maybe a tad smoother scrolling if that makes any sense ><

thanks for the great work!

Just going to chime in here, amazing observing! The TSL3 wouldn't be the same without it, probably some of the best observing/showing production tabs I've ever seen.

Yeah, Hot_Bid is doing almost TOO well with obsing. He beats the casters by a good 10-15 seconds sometimes on noticing something. Which is to say that we'll be watching a drop happen thanks to Hot_Bid and right before it's almost cleaned up the casters go "OMG DROP IN THE MAIN!". Haha, poor casters don't have a chance.

Usually when I watch StarCraft the first couple of minutes I don't watch, I only listen. I am checking my mail, refreshing my drink and so on. But when Hot_Bid is obsing I am glued to the screen from the workersplit to the gg. What will he write? To who will he give a shout out? Is it easy to read or to I have to follow the mouse courser and guess when one letter goes over to the next? Hot_Bid is making the uninteresting parts of StarCraft entertaining. Thank you Hot_Bid "The Observer".

And of course his obsing throughout the game is extraordinary.
1905 no more. Bring back the union!

So great, even when the commentators are missing stuff ( happens sometimes ) you were there, showing us every second of boxers brilliance. From the multi pronged drops, to the walled off xel naga, the TSL observer is a hero, great great stuff.

Thank you.

HB catches things before the commentators do. They aren't working well together, lol. I think Day[9], Wheat and co. need a monitor of his screen when they commentate. :O

I also approve of Hotbid as observer.
Only thing I know is that I know nothing.

Aha, so that's what he was doing. Now I'm curious what exactly he has been writing... >.>

Hotbid is insanely good at doing the observing.
The TSL3 observing shows other (non-GSL) competitions how it should be done (since GSL also has a dedicated observer)..
HOLY CHECK!
