Speaking of Zenio, did anyone see his comment on the IEM finals? Was that an "eff you" to foreigners?

I never laugh like this with other casters (except day9 obviously). Honestly, I like it.. I know the game well enough, I can see what's happening. But I'm loling on the couch by myself at Painuser's sarcasm at HD. It's funny. That having been said, they should couple a "color" caster with a "technical" caster. An Artosis or Catspajamas. Speaking of PJs, Cats is probably the most technically proficient caster in the industry at the moment (based on annunciation, intonation, tempo, pitch, etc), and with a strong color caster (or day9, who is both simultaneously), we could have some seriously strong casting. From an anecdotal perspective, consider this: I was visiting my parents one night for dinner, and stayed late to watch some TAC. A friend of my parents happened to come downstairs to see what the noise was- ended up having a beer with me, turns out to be an executive at a huge media company. He had never seen starcraft, had no idea about the eSports community, but was very intrigued. He said it sounded like "mid 70's NFL football", with a kind of raw, fun commentary, with one "color" commentator and one "play by play" commentator. It was really fun to talk to this guy, and he ended up wanting a sort of "portfolio" of the starcraft community. Anyone have any ideas for a "Top Casts Ever"? I have to meet with this guy pretty soon, so far i'm combing through Day[J]Wheat and Tastosis vids trying to make a best-of. Well i see your point but the difference between NFL-style/color commentators and this show is: utmost ignorance towards the games being played and a lack of respect towards their audience. Whats fine: if they would go off-topic in a lull, uneventful bit of the game. Having good clean fun during the game, while keeping an eye out for the game they commentating. Whats not fine: - Really,really bad calls (game is over! 20min later..), - not keeping an eye on the game itself during commentary (missing baneling nest in sheth 10pool game?) - Missing professionalism (their job is casting, not knowing their Own Map pool? - Calm before the storm) - Missing professionalism 2 (droobie? Gowser-Gosu User..) - Long offtopic discussions Between games.. (2min discussion that wouldn't even fit in TL general after a game). Im all for color/play-by-play commentators. Cats is one, Husky does a great dual-tech-pbb cast, wheat pulls it off great..Tastosis are their teachers. But this cast specific (and HD by defacto) are not prime examples of good casting. Just check this topic, their audience was not pleased. Commercial entertainment 101 - thats a nono. Not to badger them, hell they could have a fun show besides IPL, discussing funny names, swastika's, commendations (brrr), etc etc.. In a format that would fit them like a F*CK Slasher type show. Not during a livecast where 10k people are eager for insight/extra info they might have missed. Afterall, this is a online tournament from a big respectable corporation, not a basement show with my-first-webcam. Respect your employer, your job, your audience, and all the energy that went into IPL to make it a succes. This was not it. | ||
