Those lines aren't for everyone, but they do resonate with many, and also work as great sound bytes that clearly explain in an easy to understand statement touching on history, communal understanding, current context. In some form or another, these sorts of lines will exist in any serialized competitive event. I for one love them :P Obviously, but I hope you can see the value in them even if you just don't like the exact phrase.
Also genuinely thanks for the feedback today throughout the series. It was a difficult cast because of so many factors and I spent time between games reading post match threads, and digested what I could, tried to get a feel for what some of the audience was feeling both positive and negative and integrated it with Yamato into our casting. Overall I feel happy with the show we put on and only wish that in game, Yamato and I revisited the MAD Lions dark horse for playoffs a few more times. I think we told the player performance story and rookies to stars well, but could have built up their playoff chances a little more.
One thing I wanted to add on, a little more from a caster perspective, when expectations for this series was G2 easy 3-0, and the games go the way they do, everyone has their own perceptions, expectations and interpretations of what or why something is happening. This lens shapes how you hear and interpret the stories told on air, and I think it plays a role in why some people see and hear bias, while others don't. I need to review the games and digest all the feedback, but I hope people felt and noticed changes, in particular game 5 was the biggest of our casting duo. Anyway thanks for the constant stream of thoughts and feedback for the casts, reading the flame and the actionable feedback always informs next steps :D Keep it coming <3
I had fun today, I was impressed by MAD and I was disappointed in G2. That much everyone got at least :P I'm also super stoked I got to work with Yamato. What a series for his first ever Bo5 in English.
