Let's Talk Commentating at Majors

if i had one wish about FGC streams, then PLEASE DO NOT PROFESSIONALIZE COMMENTARY. its good as is and people commentating as they feel and not talking streamlined stuff (like tv Sport commentators) is a core element of amazing stream experiences.

on a side note, @CrimsonShadow i did not notice any downtalking on anybody on the kit stream, what do you mean?
 
Once again I think the guys did a solid job with commentating. They will learn from the experience and from some of the comments. Saucy Jack commentates at GBS which is somewhat of a family atmosphere, so there is a level of chiding that goes on that is totally acceptable because of those personal relationships. And I don't mean to speak for him at all, I don't know if he would want to do commentating at future events, but I hope he does.

16 bit I feel always does a great job, that guy is a savant when it comes a player's tournament history, matchups, and general overall knowledge of DC/MK history.

However I don't think any of the guys that commentated come there for that. Like when Ultra David comes to a event, he is there to commentate.

GGA performance as KIT commentators was hype and great, maybe a little biased but without being obnoxious. I don't understand why the hate is going on, let it go man.

What's a Smarrgasm?
When I spoke to Xeno on Sunday that is not the response I got. If he has changed his mind I will happily talk to him again and apologize if he feels it is necessary. Everything seemed alright with him then, but I understand opinions can change.
You guys may have talked since that point when i heard him say something about it. Im not sure. I was just letting it be known that at some point he was dismayed and that I know you have good intentions but sometimes people wont always get to work it out with you. I know its difficult to see it from all sides especially in the moment as you commentate. Its just something to try to keep in the back of your mind. Im glad that you went and hashed it out with Xeno which makes it fine in my eyes.

Top 8 commentary was awesome. It was flowing nicely and it wasn't "too serious". I'd like to see the two of them again commentating.

Not going to lie. I had this on in the background while a bunch of friends were over just drinking and playing games and they were turned off by some of the language used and the way they were bashing other players with their sarcastic comments or bias feelings toward them and was asked to turn it on mute. :(

I thought the commentary was great, I don't see the point of this thread at all, why not message the commentators you had problems with and address it to them personally, instead of making a thread blowing them up? ...
The worst of this thread is that he has not the courage to tell us whom he is referring to.

are u always dangling off of someone's dick? seems to me that you are. both times ive said something to CS(which he has ignored because he doesnt want to get put on blast) you have came swooping in trying to be a hero. just stop. and i mean he wouldnt know because hes never been to an event because nobody takes it to the heart. they are butthurt and salty for a short period of time but when it comes down to it. everyone is basically friends. people fail to realise that
The reason he didnt respond to you just like I didnt respond to you last time we talked is cause you seem like you just want to talk shit instead of understanding whats going on. On top if that you talk very immature and we cant tell if you will ever respond to us like an adult. Your post that I responded to had nothing to do with standing up for @CrimsonShadow, it was cause you were wrong to think that someone who wasnt at the event had no idea about STREAMED commentary because they werent at the event.

Ill put this in terms you may understand. Take the dicks out of your ears and listen to what people are actually saying

With all due respect, there's a big difference between a hype callout and bashing a player who is less experienced or nervous on stream.

I'm all for hype callouts -- but that's not at all what this thread is about.

At this point in time, I suck at the game I shouldn't even be allowed to be on stream lol, if I get blown up for playing like an idiot, good I deserved it. Why are people so sensitive these days, SMH.
I don't think it's over sensitivity, people want professionalism. You don't hear sports commentators dropping f bombs or criticising game play or the losing squad.

I would much rather prefer professional commentating. KiT was awesome and the last good pairing before that was Medina and Delriach at EVO 2012.

The OP wasnt really meant to blow people up directly. If this problem never happened before then maybe it would be a personal blow up but people need to stop looking so hard into this. This is the first time someone decided to post about this common FGC issue and it needs to be addressed. Unfortunately people may feel its personal but its really not
 
I don't know if you have any one commentator in mind, but I really enjoyed the commentary at KIT

I agree that bashing players for a poor performance is unprofessional, but didn't notice any of that at KIT. Not saying it didn't happen, just that I didn't notice.
