Heeeey guys
My name is Jonathan Gadoury I am a 17 year old attention whore from french canada. I made a RWA for alf vs fusion game 1 on longinus. I would have made a vod but I don't have image capturing software. You might notice how monotone and boring my voice is, so uhhhm, uhhh, well I had fun making this anyways hehe
[url blocked]
How to watch
Go on battle.net, host a game with the replay in it, alt tab and start the mp3 file, I will tell you when I click 'start' so you just have to follow along. Watch at Fastest speed.
Oh and sorry for the terrible quality, I wasn't going to do one since I am not at home but I found a reallllly, and I mean realllly crappy mic so I have to talk really close to it which results in KSHH whenever I say P! or T!
So yeah you might wanna set starcraft' volume at very low.
edit5orsomething: Aha oops I just realized Fusion is the guy's clan, not his name. Whooopsiie.

Hey guys, I've done a few videos before but haven't actually done a commentary, this is my first go at it!
A little about myself, I've played SC since it's come out (with a couple years off here and there) I'm about a C/C+ caliber player and I love SC. I've been a member of TL since you've guys have been in existence but I rarely post. I read alot and keep up with starcraft news as much as possible. I've held a short stint as a writer with iccup, but change of schedule has prevented me from being able to contribute much there. I plan to comment on tons of TSL playoff games regardless of this contest. I have my own youtube channel where I'll update more games.
Great idea Teamliquid to hold a commentator contest, everything about the tournament has been awesome so far!

Hey guys heres my submission finally
I'm Alan I've been playing BW on an off since around '99 never really been a good player but I've always loved to watch games. I"ve been a member of TLNet since 2003 started on the name Koyiro I was never very active with that name and I made this one pretty much right after TSL was announced so I could help out and people would know who I am. I've always wanted to do commentaries and I guess this finally was my excuse to get started. As some of you know before working on iCCup I worked on the PGTour as a tournament admin doing occasional match reports there for the tournaments I ran. I have a bit of a cold so please excuse the way I sound I tried to keep from sniffling too much.
I commented on Dreiven vs Ex game 3

Hey guys,
I recorded a RWA, to celebrate the re-advent of this technology. It is on Temujin vs. Sky game 2, so it is a close, long game with large battles and a nearly mined out Blue Storm - but I do not want to spoil too much. It is available here.
Your commentator is Aesop, student of philosophy, currently residing in Hungary, member of TL.net since November last year, following Broodwar Progaming for about half a year. Since then I havewasted spent many hours on this beautiful site, lurking in live report threads and amassing almost 1800 posts. Although I was once fairly successful at wc3 arranged 2on2, entering top 100 in European ladder, I have always rather been on the sidelines as an observer. My greatest achievement in active Broodwar is probably losing painfully to Haypro on the first day the ladder was up.
In my commentary I try to put the focus on the tactical and strategical side. My hope it to convey some interesting info and viewpoints which are not fully obvious. If you disagree with this, just feel free to tell me. This is the first commentary I have ever done, I was waiting for an opportunity to try it - and TSL was just that. Enjoy and give me some feedback.

RedeemeR[media] vs RoX.advokate (Game three)
Here it is - the grand finale, my commentary entry for Day 2. Excellent game, I hope you enjoy watching & listening to it as much as I enjoyed commentating on it. Props to both players, very strong play from them.
It's been a tiring day. Maybe artosis vs slider will have to wait until tomorrow?
Thanks for watching.

So I (C+/B- level) tried to do a Dual commentary with XeoFreestyler/Klazart(C level) on the game Artosis vs Slider. Im not completely happy with it but its a start! Give us some feedback please.
Slider vs Artosis game 1 by Xeo and RaGe
I did an RWA on my own too though, which I believe to be better, since me and xeo arent really experienced in dual commentating yet.
