Not sure where this goes but i'll just throw it out there.
Can the Caster not reference other match results while casting? Not everyone is as current and some people like to catch the recorded match but dont know the order in which to watch them in.
Case in point: iMagine vs Saunamen. I downloaded this off twitch and enjoyed every second while eating dinner, desert, and my midnight snack (long long match.) I was also really interested in seeing the Ascension match but the score was said and being 4-0 i had no interest in watching.
Now i know speculation is fun and talking about the bracket is a must but can we make the beginning and end of the match the time for this? I generally skip all that content when watching a prerecorded stream. Live events are a different animal and i have no idea how to prevent spoilers. I'm sure our awesome casters can come up with something. Maybe leave the current "Round" or "Week" talk for the end so i can close my window =D Thank you in advance.

Haha
muhahaha! My plan is complete!
Not even kidding > : - (
Lots of flags raised about that Seb guy still.
Because I watched Sauna/iMag live, I didn't watch the Godar/Ascension game until yesterday, and instead of watching the casted version (Sorry Ren), I ended up waztching Eissfeldts stream of the game, that was brilliant fun
It wasn't a tip, it was a "request". I don't watch games for the commentary since we don't get to pick and choose our casters for what game and would watch the game muted for at least 2 casters i know of, but it is too disorientating since the camera can't be everywhere, though I generally "get" what's going on. (unless it's blind or a player from competitive play. @RedDog is an exception since he adds excitement and i love his always positive attitude. He mostly has 0 bias and he is fun to watch get worked up. My wife doesn't watch NS2 but knows his voice and shakes her head saying "Are you watching RedDog again?" haha.)
I also, again generally, can't stand the camera work from certain camera men. I'm not saying i can do a better job and it's probably rough trying to catch everyone/staying aware/monitoring chat bans. I wish there was a way to get FPS views in crucial moments catching all the important action, even if i had to watch something an hour or day after the match has completed (in a no spoiler world). Live is fun but a polished edited match would be way better imo.
@Soul_rider I didn't know this existed 0_o Now that IS worth a watch. I am always trying to improve my own competitive game and high level decision making is exactly what i need to work on.
Sorry bud
All in all, thank you to those who do cast or new people who make attempts. Bottom line is to get the games actions casted, recorded, and disseminated to all. Without your efforts we would only have stats to look at. Just please be mindful of spoilers =D
*side note* Thank you @casan0vax for your predictions. Your insight into some of the lower divisions makes some matches worth watching,
I'm still waiting for that cooking show.
