Stream 1 both casters got dropped after people waited 30+ min for the next game.
I feel bad for them, they look absolutely tired and half dead and people watching this are already on the edge of just shutting the thing down because of the numerous delays and now this.
I felt bad for them last night (it was night for me atleast here in Norway). They had a long day with lots of postpones and errors, and they really did their best, I think maybe I've been spoilt with Tastosis and Day9 among others, not really giving them the cudos for their efforts that they deserve. Hope today will prove to be errorless and that they have their energy back
GLHF #2 is sooo much better than GLHF #1 at this event.. Like, by far
Gunrun <3 - Also, the girl on there (I dont remember her name) actually really knows the game well, just annoying that she is chewing bubblegum on air :S
I stopped following Assembly after TB left. #1 stream was very bad, #2 was good but they didn't cast many games. I really liked the girl caster. She has a nice voice and knows what she is talking about.
The commentators on GLHF #1 are horrible. The crap they spew out of their mouth (mainly the Maven guy) is so ignorant and aggravating. It'd be okay if they don't have the charisma or whatever as long as they actually have some knowledge of the game. It sucks that I have to watch it on mute because I can't stand their banter.
However Gunrun and Eleine (i think?) on GLHF #2 are actually pretty good. They are both excited about the game and convey legit thoughts for the viewers. You can tell they actually enjoy the games.
Kudos to the folks on the Khaldor stream too! They are awesome even though I don't understand a thing they say :D

I really appreciate GLHF for spending so much time and resources to cover this event. Without their team, we would not have been able to fully enjoy some amazing games.
I did however have an encounter on GLHF2 during the morrow/tarson game that left a sour taste in my mouth. The camera movement was moving all over the place too quickly. This jerky motion made spectating quite difficult. When I commented in chat it was hard to follow, the broadcaster responded "I am trying, **** you." I understand the stress 2,300+ viewers may bring, but come on.
I spent 10 minutes searching and found Raelcun's video that may help you with camera motion. Please check it out.
Again, I appreciate the time and resources spent on covering this event. I look forward to the semi-finals.

I couldn't agree more tbh.
I just watched a German stream instead, and I don't speak German. Which says alot imho.

ah yes, i'm sure they're drowning in sorrow that they couldn't appease everyones musical tastes, after all theres nothing else to it, everyone has to be satisfied because everyone can enjoy exactly what you wanted to hear ambra.

I thought Martijn did fine but Maven has been pretty bad as a caster, bad chemistry with the interrupting, and even if he's tired he shouldn't just get up and leave martijn on his own (luckily he got a co caster)
The girls name is Eleine

I also agree with this. I really don't like casters who just state the obvious. I'm not saying they should be like Day9 with analysis, but at least try to give some (correct) insight. Martijn and Maven are very lackluster. I'm enjoying the German stream much more and I also don't speak a word of German. Khaldor is just way more entertaining.
