IdrA vs Axslav

Good games, but the commentator sucks :/



=/ Sorry you feel that way. I'm always looking to improve could you perhaps provide some feedback?



LOL. Nice argument "the commentator sucks". Is that all you have to say? Dumb internet person. The commentator did fine.



Yea saying a commentator sucks is always helpful. But from what I heard during the downtime you repeat a few phrases a lot, once the action picks up it gets better, but you still repeat yourself a little. You stick to the production tab pretty much all game, then you tell us whats on the production tab. Its nice to see income, army stuff, units lost all that jazz. Don't worry about people saying you suck tho, You are going to be compared to all those other people that have been doing it forever and you can't please everyone. I enjoyed the casts keep up the good work




Great games, really nice to see Idra learned that Zerg can attack too not just harass. As far as the caster, improving alot since I first heard an Axel cast. Good at keeping camera on the action, doesn't do the horrible examine bases while action is going on that I hate. Try and avoid saying "will it be enough" quite as often and bounce between tabs, workers killed after harass, income during downtime. Overall nice work Axel!



Wat? I really enjoyed your casting, keep it up!



Axslav is so shit, makes zerg look easy



@Axel - the more information the better ie. I thought Axslav lacked the apm to be a good opponent of idra and wouldve been interested to see the avg apm just once every game.



idra mutalisk against protoss? renaissance!
caster was fine.



He's a pretty good caster and he knows what hes talking about but I think during the beginning of the games he talks in short phrases with long pauses, idra....talking all his gases....I wonder what he's going to do with that....maybe spire, axslav....what is he doing with that probe....fast 3rd?



Apparently IdrA set a rule for himself to win every game with hydras here :)



R3NN1..I play Zerg and ALWAYS go Muta/ling vs Toss...i play against master league and have a lot of success with it...its only weak vs 6 gate in my opinion as this hits when Zerg is building the spire and does not have much defense...but as long as you keep scouting this strat is very viable....if i see heavy stargate play i can revert back into Hydras...so the extra gas saved is spent there...i feel switching from hydras to mutas is hard..but the opposite is very doable.




Oh and thx for this great cast Axel...GO IDRA!!



....Axslav is really not very good for a pro, is he? That FFE in game 1 was terrible, and in game 3 he didn't prepare for the (very popular) Roach/Ling two-base timing? Really? :-



And he tried to base trade with a Zerg with mutas. Sigh.



I liked the caster, and the fact that Idra is experimenting with Nydus worms, which I feel is an underutilized zerg unit.



Axel, one thing that might help in the initial stages of the cast is to drift away from talking about what's going on in the game (which is essentially nothing) and maybe give background information on the players, discuss the previous games, discuss the players history against each other, etc. If you're able to quickly review a few games from each of the players and take notes on what they've done previously on that map, it might help in filling the void. Also, don't be afraid to talk about something completely unrelated to the game at hand entirely. Colourful commentary is far easier to get through than short sentences that really offer no additional information. Lastly, please shy away from saying "anyway" so often, it's rather distracting. This was all meant as constructive criticism as I do, actually, quite enjoy your casts and look forward to more in the future. Keep up the good work!



Has the final been played/casted yet?



If you want background on players, go listen to Husky.

I watch SC2 matches everyday and I like Axel. Knows the game. Enjoys Starcraft 2.

Thumbs up buddy!

Feedback for caster: I watched the first game and I'm not sure if you do this all the time or if it was just this game, but your sentences were always exactly the same length and tone, and it got kind of dull.



IdrA is such a joke...



I really like this style of casting though. It's great to hear the caster talking about the things I'm currently wondering about. We seem to be on the same wavelength...

Could work on some of your tonality and the way you speak though. Just saying.



I thought you did a good job on the cast Axel. Thanks for taking your time to cast the games. Keep up the good work.



GG, GC.
