Some Dota fans were sadly put off by his lack of knowledge but most people appreciated him for being entertaining. I will never understand this obsession with "lack of knowledge" for casters. I understand if casters are making completely false statements due said lack of knowledge, but SC2 community (especially the elitist TLers) has shunned many casters whose strength lay in their ability to entertain. In fact, I hate it when casters try and predict what the players are gonna do. Its often just an educated guess and adds nothing to the entertainment value. Who the hell ever goes, "Whoa, this caster got it right!" in the middle of a game. Mid-cast predictions are just nerd-flex from casters who are either a) bowing to the pressure from the community to prove their knowledge, or b) couldn't make it as pros. I do not mind high-level analysis during lulls in action. But man, it's a freaking battle-zone between humans and aliens and bugs. Hype it up! And if I really wanted an in-depth analysis, that's what TL writers are for! I'd just read guides (used to, don't see those anymore). | ||

One of the things I miss most from Day9's SC2 casting days was how he didn't do much predicting how the game was going to unfold. He instead chose to discuss the pros & cons of strategies and discussed what may have led the players to make the decisions they did. It simplified, but didn't dumb-down the games and gave me an educational experience high in entertainment value. | ||

Hey! got an update from the orgs on reddit to a comment: “Happy new year to you as well! To my information the replay pack has been fully assembled and sent over to us yesterday, so we'll do some checks and release it after that.” I’ll post the link in this thread regardless of where else its posted just to cover all bases!  | ||
