A set of intense games by two of the best teams in ns2. I gave as much insight as I could into how the map is played and how it all comes together, hopefully everyone finds this to be an enjoyable experience ^_^

    Great job. It's nice to hear more strategic info to give the listener a better idea of what's happening not only now in the game, but what it means later in the game.

    *DRINK BREAK*

    Some small critiques:
    Talk slower when the action is slow. You'll save your voice, your breath, and not wear out the listener's ear.

    The mic's level is good, but a bit echoing. A soft fabric under a desktop mic will improve the quality (harmonic vibration, etc all). A headset mic solves the remaining ambient noise issues, as does a quality uni-directional open-air mic.

    Thanks a lot for the cast, Bitey - enjoyed it a lot.

    It was a little weird for me to listen to the casting style - it seemed very representative of what I imagine mainstream American sports commentating is like: "make the play; clutch; contest the zone; re-initiating".

    And of course "VLAD" and "LEIPIA" kekeke.

    But all in all very energetic and a lot of fun. Looking forward to the next one.

    Good job with the effort, i second the notions about the mic volume and such, had to tune my laptops volume quite a bit for it to be okey. Remember to breath!

    That was excellent, and I was pleasantly surprised when Caged came on. Great to see these teams play the map. I wonder what Saunamen thinks of the Sewer hive itself, though. It's an entirely unfinished room, and perhaps still too bare to properly defend.

    Is there a TV guide like thing for comp play (all live casts in 1 place)?

    Edit: Bitey has a hardcore way to say 'Drink Break'.

    I really enjoyed the games! Your casting seems more like traditional sports commentary and I really like the amount of information you squeeze out of one breathe :P
    The energy you put in is contagious and it really helps draw you in to the excitement of the games.
    Nice work man

    I'm at work and was watching a few bits and pieces. I liked what I saw and you did a great job! Makes me want to play tonight! Sadly, life first and game later...

    Keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing more.

    I'd suggest Bitey & RedDog join forces.. but I'm worried my headphones would pop from all the yelling and excitedness.

    They would have to take turns on who can talk and who can breathe.

    It's very good commentary for the clued in, but you need a play by play action caster to balance it out. And give you some time to breathe.
