EPTI hope this feedback can come trough and that I'm not the only one thinking that the camera operator have been a bit out of focus during the last few TSL games.

Alot of times the camera wasn't focusing what was being said by the casters. It wasn't the worst thing in the world, but should be better (TSL standard). | ||

In that base trade with Thorzain v Hasu, I personally felt like it was obvious that Thorzain's base was completely undefended, so it would have just been protoss units attacking terran buildings uncontested. This was actually shown in the final seconds of the game. The more interesting and more important moment in that game was seeing whether Hasu's reinforcements would be able to fend off the attack. I think, at least on that one point, keeping the camera on Hasu's base was a purposeful and correct decision. | ||

Otherwise so far so good. TSL3 and 4 have been my most anticipated tournaments of the year. I love the format, the presentation, the casters, and pretty much everything so far. Thanks so much for this! | ||

You can also take into account taste with respect to observing. I agree that it's obvious when a base is being lost its fun to watch buildings blow up but really, as an informed spectator I believe I should have to keep up, too. When I notice a drop moving into a base I look at the mini map to see if a response is coming, etc. I think the camera work is just fine. A small detail, and I'm not sure why it's still in my head, but "private chat" holds a different weight in my head than "can chat publically." Perhaps I fell prey to some sort of eliticism? Is that why I purchased TL+? I don't think so, but, well, it's a different thing to chat in a room filled with only a few folks than it is to echo across every spectator. Overall I've been very happy with the tournament and coverage, am excited about my poster and pin in the mail, and can't wait to keep watching. | ||

If hotbid is the one observing, which I think he is, they already have an observer who is better than Adebisi. He just might be making mistakes at the moment, which everyone does, but hotbid is a phenomenal observer. | ||

But to be fair, the most standard way of casting/observing is with the production tab on, and when there is two casters I think it would be enough to mention that one player is warping a fleet beacon. And of course the camera can show it. But from a spectator's point of view, It's often really important to capture the exciting army confrontations in it's entirety. | ||

 ), I'm sure you've thought about this kinda stuff already.I know the point of this thread was the observing but given the title I thought it was a good place to mention it. | ||

I think it has been for the Ro32, unlike before. The casters have said things like "...if you look over at..." and named the other caster as if telling them to move the observer's screen over to whatever they are talking about. I would like confirmation on this one way or the other. It has been a growing suspicion as the observing feels way different than it did before to me. | ||
