SEA is lacking qaulity casters so i look forward to seeing more from you two.

cruxBsK · Mon, 21st-Nov-2011, 9:19 AM

Really enjoyed the cast last night guys, especially the analytically style you guys had I.E (his got 1 gas so its going to be a gateway heavy push)

Issues I found when you guys kinda cut each other off which I think you can iron out after you have done a few casts.

cRSenSei · Mon, 21st-Nov-2011, 9:34 AM

Really recommend these guys as casters, they work really well together as a casting duo which is something that SEA is lacking with casters.

TAXanT · Mon, 21st-Nov-2011, 9:35 AM

I'll definitely check out those VOD's from last night

Hey man, I'd say the first thing you need to do is even out the levels between the two casters. This is an issue Frogmite and I have had on dual casts, plus I think he has higher quality gear that I do. I think Zain is a touch louder than you are. The only other issues I can think of is using the minimap and middle mouse button to obs, some of the cinematography was a little jerky, and also call players by their in game name (not everyone knows EdgE as Cam) as people who don't know them and just joining the cast won't know who you're talking about lol.

Can't fault it otherwise, a good casting partnership

I'll continue to watch it as it blossoms into something beautiful.

Zain has a big mouth.

Does he even post on these forums btw?
Looking forward to more casts

Was pretty good

Mic quality could have been better though.

Okay, since you guys already know how much I love you, I might as well leave some constructive criticism that I hope you don't take the wrong way as I mean it in the most constructive-criticismesque way.

The experience that Pinder gets from constantly playing at a high level means he's exposed to the most recent metagame, builds etc. that Zain wouldn't often see unless he's observing/casting high level games. I reckon if Zain kept up to date on the metagame just by browsing through recent replays (as you're not often playing high level grandmasters like Pinder is) to check for builds etc. then the ability to predict and understand what is happening will work so well with your play-by-play which is ridiculously good. It's just good to see Pinder recgonise a Protoss build when hes casting and is able to expand on the positives, negatives and the best way to use it to the players advantage. It kills time in the boring stages at the start and gives lower leaguers the ability to understand what is happening. If Zain was up to date on the current builds and metagame with terran then it'd basically cover all matchups aside from ZvZ from at least one perspective and give you guys more to talk about in the early game as well.

You know I love your casting, both amazing.

I must agree with this... but also, If Zain focused more on the play by play reporting of what is happening.. with Pinder speaking more about the technical aspects of the game (builds, etc) then you could also balance out this knowledge..
But you guys were great!

Another approach could be Zain adopting more of a questioning/ highlighting things role to Pinder so that Pinder in turn can give his GM read/ take on the situation without having to constantly think of stuff to talk about.

TADivinity · Mon, 21st-Nov-2011, 7:38 PM

This makes me hot.

Mr_Zain · Mon, 21st-Nov-2011, 8:02 PM

Thanks for all your replies guys

we had a lot of fun and hope to do it more often. You're right, I definitely feel more comfortable with Terran games, I can generally pick the strat but will keep my eye out for tip top level play. ZvZ definitely a weak point but pinder has our backs for the time being. =D
