He's a great caster, I enjoy his analysis, but he really needs to cool the relentless attacks on his fellow casters. It's not fun to listen too, the frequency of it is taxing even Quickshot's ability to brush it off.

He reminds me of my young cousin who just doesn't quite understand the lines of banter and just aggressive being a dick.

I have no expectations from this thread but it would for sure make viewing the LEC a much more pleasant experience.
I'm not trying to flame here, to be clear. Maybe I'm just a lil bitch.

The last two games of the day where definitely something and Ender and I made a call to try something different. The G2 match up had enough pace and tempo to allow us to stay focused on gameplay stats jokes but the FNC game slowed down a lot and we needed to find a different angle to consider. Before the game we actually said we wanted a little more playful banter, and maybe the slower pace and lower stakes combined to make it sound more confrontational than intended. Ender and I are super good friends, we rib each other a lot and there is no malice or ill will. We made a call together and I think we have to review to see what we would change for next time.

It was a super unique situation and a super weird game and that made it really hard to cover. We both had a lot of fun for both games and while it may not be everyone's tastes, we had a blast.

Hey,

It's cool that you took the time to respond, especially in defense of your colleague.

I don't know if I've said it in the thread, but I did enjoy the cast in general. As I said above, there's kind a limit and at times the banter felt over the top. There was never any doubts you're friends- I never got to the point where I was like "shit do they hate each other?" Fair enough if it was planned, in which case it's probably a me problem.

I feel a bit ungrateful to be honest. Picking holes in what has honestly been the greatest year of LEC production to date.

Edit: Bit of reflection, If you were planning on this kind of style, in future I recommend making jokes back at Ender's expense. It feels bad having him just piling onto you, but if you're giving it back I don't think it would rub me up the same way.

Thanks so much for the feedback!! <3 I'll one hundred percent that keep that in mind for the future.

I see Trevor already jumped into the thread, but I figured I should throw in some of my thoughts as well.

I specifically went for a very different tone in the G2/XL and FNC/RGE games. I went for more dry, sarcastic humor, a lot of times at Trevor's expense. I personally enjoyed the cast even though I presented myself as very negative.

You're not the only one who thought it was a bit too much, though. I'm definitely going to watch the vods and see what I can do better in the future because my personal sense of humor does line up with a lot of what I said in these casts. Those games I obviously pushed it to the extreme, but I would like to incorporate some of those elements into my style in the future.
