My respect for Destiny grew over time after listening to him actually discuss the game. Considering he's such a bit internet personality, it's surprising how logical his conclusions, as well as having a reasonably open mind.
+1 for SEA love.

I'm confused why you associate being an internet personality with not being logical

Because a lot of personalities go over the top in order to get more views and being blatantly one-sided is the easiest way to accentuate your personality.
Destiny, while he isn't the highest calibre of players, he does provide insight into many of his games on stream. And because he makes a living off streaming, his stream is good quality as he puts a lot of effort into it.
Man I wish I had the confidence of Destiny in terms of how the game is going. I'm not talking about 'confidence' in a self-esteem-boost kinda way but confidence in a 'i know i am right because x y z ' kinda way.
Though he was abit off in gauging his lead in the early-mid game, he knew exactly where he was at during the game - something I always am clueless about :/
Glad that you guys found it informative... To be honest... I think the cognitive process of trying to play and commentate is crazy X____X you have to really know what you are doing and react even quicker

Absolutely true. I have personally tried to commentate while playing and it's tough as hell it really messes up my gameplay sometimes, making me miss timings etc. It's like an additional layer of multitasking.
And random trivia- I happen to study something related to this in cognitive psychology (yea i'm a psych major =X) -
When we talk (or hold a conversation), we will be unable to attend to something else without a deficit in that 2nd task performance. I.e. if you're talking, and someone else interjects with something, most of the time you have to ask him to repeat what he just said.
This is also the reason why talking on the phone while driving is discouraged - it's not just about having your hands free, but simulations have been done and drivers have a significantly impaired reaction time (to brake) when they're talking. (i.e. more likely to meet with an accident)
