If the game is crazy, you can relax and let loose, talk about other topics (see LCK casters), or just stay in the game. His constantly flaming and whatever attitude left a bad taste in my mouth.
EDIT: People are really flaming him and asking for him to walk out and leave/retire. I mean, he had a bad game, he has his flaws like any other casters but he's learning, and he's improving. As an example, he did way better on his tri-cast on VIT vs SK right after this game. I think we should all chill out a beat and lower our pitchforks and just provide acceptable criticism.
It's a super tough situation and as a caster, whatever angle you decide to take, it won't be to everyone's taste for a game like that. Ender and I decided together before the game began to be banterful, and even said at some point really early we were gonna have a slightly flamey cast, while we had some fun, the nuances were a little lost on the audience. We absolutely will review the game and see what we can learn, but truthfully, I still think trying to do something different was the right call for the game.
Side note - Ender and I have a really playful relationship off air. We rib each other a lot and tried to let some of that come out on air haha, it was funny to me, but that doesn't mean it's funny to everyone watching lol.
Thanks for the feedback here and below!! Definitely heard it loud and clear.
