Hey Guys,

Now I know that a lot of people here may have already seen the posts about this on Reddit.SC last night but I thought I would post it on SC2SEA as I have seen nothing similar.

When I first saw this, I was amazed that no one had thought of it earlier, and how innovative it was at the same time. Here is the video :

Basically it's all explained in the video but it's a casting tool for evaluative use which i'm sure would be able to be put to use by many casters on SC2SEA.

The website is : http://sc2tactician.com and there is an opportunity for casters to sign up to Alpha trial for the application, I'm sure that there would be people here interested in this. In no way do I know the creator of this application and I am not trying to advertise it for personal gain, I simply saw it, was extremely interested, and thought I should create a thread here to inform people of this.

I personally think that SC2 tactician, if used correctly, could change the StarCraft casting game forever, I can also say that I would be extremely interested in watching casts where this was utilized.

Feel free to discuss what you think about SC2 tactician below, and if any casters are lucky enough to take part in the Alpha testing, make sure you post your casts and your opinion on the program after you use it, because I, and I'm sure many other people would be interested to find out more about it.

Cheers guys, AmazR

Looks good, but I don't see it being that useful in a live casting enviroment.

Other than the map overview where you can describe what the map features does and does not have.

Other than that, it is going to be perfect for any stratergy discussion show / video. Day[9] dailies come to mind, and perhaps videos talking about map features and videos of How To: Stepaho's 12min max build.

You get my drift

This is exactly how I felt when I first saw it, literally blew me away, very excited and I'm not even a caster

Yeah I agree, I thought about how Day 9 always pauses the replays to analyse engagements and scenarios etc. he could use the arrows and drawing features to explain things more, and bring a visual aspect further into his analysis; just like in sport.

Also I think this will spark so many ideas in peoples' minds, and more programs like this will begin springing out of nowhere.

I agree also that it wont be as useful in tournament casting/live casting, but there is definitely potential for it to be used in a lesser extent.

It would be good for pre-game analysis if we're sitting there with a map overlay we can analyse positions and have a bit of a chat whilst showing graphically what we mean, but I agree with big system - not really useful in a live environment.

Casters get to play draw something with the audience during down times!

We already have paint for that!

Would be cool if you can take screenshots. I'm not sure the ingame screenshot take those drawings.

I think this would be sweet for POST game analysis. Generally during a break in the live stream between games you just fill the void with music or banter, this would be sweet for a chat about the match with your co-caster.
