about the hyping up players thing, we try to keep a balance going. Of course, if a player like WWW/rrtyui/HappyStick steps in, we're gonna hype it up if only because they're so well known, the viewers will recognize them very easily and they'll be hyped up as well. We do have to point out the strong players that are not as well known; people have already mentioned MathClass's outstanding overall performance, and if any of the lesser known players pull off strong plays, we'll be sure to mention them as well.

The commentary is generally awkward when there's nothing going on, I agree. There's many times where it's just radio silence, waiting for setup. You could argue that we could discuss the upcoming/ongoing match, but it's usually very quickly done and we can very quickly become obnoxious by repeating ourselves. ztrot is very good at interacting with people for padding, however I don't look at twitch chat due to my setup (laptop warriors where we at) so I can't really do that. I am going to send an invitation to ToGlette and jesus1412 to speak up a little bit more if they feel like it. Raiku has already given us a lot of insight on gameplay which I think made the commentary so much more valuable than just my/ztrot's play-by-play.

Yesterday on Synchrostar's livestream somebody said that Poland is out of the competition because we lost to NL :^

Obviously Loctav gave Sweden an edge by not only decreasing Japan's score without anyone knowing, but also physically attacking and injuring their star player rrtyui and making him unable to participate. This was all done by the command of Zallius in order to increase the chances of the team he was rooting for to win.

I mean, Zallius WAS cheering for Sweden after all. Coincidence?

Having done a bit of small-time casting in the past, I can say it would help if there were someone who made it a point to ask questions if it did start to feel like conversation was winding down. Whether they are simple questions that everyone would already know the answer to is irrelevant. The general rule is that ANY kind of information being given is better than silence. You could go into history in past OWC's for the respective countries, take that time to mention some of the lesser known players, etc. At times like that, repeating a topic is still a better option than just letting the cast die. There's plenty that could fill the silence, but it's a billion times easier if there's someone who's main purpose is to ask questions. It's much easier to answer on a topic than to just randomly create one. Just my two cents.

announcing "player of the game" or "tournament mvp" or something like that, imo would be pretty fun

All I really want is more jesus casting, besides my fanboyism i really think he has a lot of relevant player perspective to give, i think he should look at the matchups beforehand and take some time to write down his thoughts prior to the broadcast on the players/map/whatever and keep it up while casting so he'd have more to say and it would just be so enriching to the viewing experience overall

That said, Xytox's donut avatars look so tasty, every time i see them i imagine how they taste and it drives me to insanity.

He's fixing the fake breaks. A lagging twitch stream is a different issue entirely. Put the pitchfork down.
