And yeah up the voice of the casters a bit. Sometimes I'll raise my volume a bit to hear casters better, then forget about it and make my ears bleed when I turn my music back on. First day of Ro16 the obs was spot-on, even throwing in that little bonus with the Infestation Pit (as soon as he showed it off creep I was waiting to see if it died or not, Hotbid did that perfectly yesterday) and generally showing things people want/need to see. | ||

what I feel very strongly about is the Wheat/Chill combo. they are both good commentators, but REALLY REALLY horrible analysts. watching their cast I feel like they only stating the obvious. couldn't you team them up differently? it's the worst casting combo (which isn't their fault. they're shit analysts, but decent commentators) I've seen in a while. last night was a lot better. However, I think that's just because Apollo is just one of the best commentator, as well as analyst out there. So in conclusion... => Apollo + x is by far your best casting combo => imo x is best filled with day9 | ||

In one TvP yesterday, 1 rax FE, 3 marines by a bunker that's about 10 seconds from completion, and a stalker starts moving up. POW cut to protoss base to look at nothing in particular. Literally the only interesting thing that happened in the space of two minutes and it was not shown. There's also some odd camera control during battles. Half the units are often off screen for no reason, and health bars are sometimes not shown. | ||

In fact I like them so much that I often log in twitch just to comment on that : "man, the observer is good". So yeah, long story short, I do consider Hot_Bid a very, very talented observer. Intrigue is quite good, too. I don't know what happened on the 6th, but in general, I'm very pleased with the quality of observing on TSL. € : While am here, I want to add that TSL needs more Chill. Best balance of humour / perspective / knowledge and some sort of pride attached to the whole thing. Chill, get in, pretty please. | ||

While one can't really control all the foreigners getting their socks rocked, it's pretty frustrating to have all korean ends to every. single. tournament. Usually it's whatever Code S players are there and maybe Thorzain or Stephano. I wanted Thorzain to win, then I was like ok, I want Ret, then I said, well, Taeja is pretty awesome, then I said: welp guess I'm done. Sorry that I don't watch it anymore because of something out of your control, but It really is no longer interesting when none of my favorites are in it, and there isn't even an underdog foreigner for which to root. | ||

The casting could also use some work imho, I believe many have stated this above me, but I'll chip in. It is important to be professional enough to acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses of the casters so that they can fill the role they are supposed to. Theres a reason a strong analytic caster goes well with a witty play by play one. Most people want a bit of both, but recently there has been casts where it seems obvious that the casters aren't that up to date on how the matches are played. It makes them look worse than they actually are. DjWheat is the best example I think, because he is such a professional caster, with a great radio voice and he knows the trade so he has good synergy with everyone. But if you make him the analyst that is unfair to him, I think, because you make it clear that you didn't think things over and it reflects badly on him instead of the "administration". TLDR: Skill > National diversity, have all the qualifiers open for everyone - you can still spread them out over the servers for lag issues. Casters are alright, but you really need to put more thought into who you pair up with who if you are to stick with the same bunch for the next TSL, not only for us, but also for their sake. I hope it is read as constructive criticism, because overall I enjoy the tournament and I love that TeamLiquid bothers to throw a starleague for free for their fans. | ||
