Bonus Question: Many pple who saw WCS Australia remarked that you were the best observer they have seen, from being able to follow every Nuke to all the nuances in Artosis's commentary. Have you had any observer offers and are you planning to take your observing career further?
I'm flattered people would say that, but i think that Adebisi and ST_Legend are still better than me. That being said i try not to be a good observer, i like the game just as much as the rest of you, and i want to see everything possible about the game. My aim is to be the Silent caster, as you watch my camera and mouse i try and point out things for the casters to talk about or maybe they missed something. The best players, viewers and casters deserve the most they can get from the game, and its the observers job to do this. Wouldn't you be sad if you were watching a soccer game and the camera man missed the goal? Same thing.
I haven't had any observer offers, i live too far from major events. That being said i'd love to do anything possible to help out. I just want to enjoy the game as much as everyone else!
