Finals up soon, tune in.

Hey all, just wanted to give props to all that put this out. I watched 3 matches and while some of the lingo is over my head, I was able to get a general understanding of it. I'd love to get into some GvG with my necro. I was watching the builds and it'd be fun to see how it all works while I'm actually doing something. Thanks again to the commentators (I didn't mind all the talking over each other, lol), thought you all did a great job trying to cover different parts of the field. I'll definitely tune in again.

Although a boring MaT that was a highly entertaining and informative couple of hours

Again next month? hehehe

Thanks Angra,Lemming,Joe,Happy,Asp and Apok for coming along

Ariena Najea · Oct 30, 2010, 10:18 PM // 22:18

Next month for sure!

Thank you to all of our commentators, Apok for recording, and everyone who listened in!

Artisan Archer · Oct 30, 2010, 10:24 PM // 22:24

Really good stuff. I only had a chance to listen to the sup vs Jh match but I enjoyed it alot, definitely gave a deeper insight into the game. Big ups for all the shoutcasters.
Next month again would be great.

good job guys, was fun

xhappy feetx · Oct 30, 2010, 10:56 PM // 22:56

For sure man.

Tearz1993 · Oct 30, 2010, 11:07 PM // 23:07

is there a possibility of the other mAT matches being commentated on?

xhappy feetx · Oct 30, 2010, 11:12 PM // 23:12

The ones we didn't cover? Idk I don't have anyone to cover them with me.

Joe answered this on IRC for you, but for everyone else's benefit: he and Hates will be commentating the rest of the single elimination matches this week.

Also, to those who couldn't make it, recordings will be uploaded around Tuesday.

I loved having a cast that didn't involve over enthusiastic Koreans and Star Craft II!

Apok · Oct 31, 2010, 08:20 AM // 08:20

So, I have good news and bad news.

The good news is, I was able to get the videos done earlier than expected.

Like, now.

First Match, [OG] vs [Illl]

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WnwVPGqxQM
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5ss4EBj2bg

Second Match, [SSS] vs [Est]

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt6petDcKuM
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H7BG4mJRew

Finals, [jh] vs [Est]

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PQIb4t3U80
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQJC9ZV7pIs

The BAD news is that Fraps decided not to record a big bulk of the [sup] vs [jh] match. Like, 25 minutes of it. Could've been human error on my part, which I am not dismissing. I apologize for this and I will make sure it won't happen next time.

Enjoy!

If you're gonna do these more often it would be nice if you could post them all on the same youtube channel and put a link in a sticky on the pvp forum here or somewhere noticable.

EDIT:
If you still have the vent recording, you could upload that and people could watch the obs match from guild wars and start the ventrec. at about the same time.

Greedy Gus · Oct 31, 2010, 12:46 PM // 12:46

Solid job controlling the obs mode camera to show as much as you could apok. I can offer a few suggestions that may make for a better visual presentation of obs mode in the future:

Strongly recommend selecting the game option "Always show nearby names in PvP", which makes the action much easier to follow rather than just seeing the basic character graphics (which sometimes can be non-obvious even whether they're on the blue or red team).

Also using the control key more often to highlight all players & NPCs on the map really lets you see everyone clearly in a teamfight, and usually is key for showing the big picture macro-level stuff. The alt key can also be useful to show flags or other items/objectives on the map.

Even mousing over another important player on the screen that isn't selected will highlight them, which you can use to spotlight an additional player for viewer focus without rapidly changing from one to the next every time. One good technique is to right click another key player on the screen and hold the rightclick down, taking control of the camera and keeping that other player highlighted while not having to change your selected player.

Finally nice job to everyone involved, seems like the most constructive thing I've seen in awhile.

There should be a stickied VOD thread imo.

ItsJustMe · Oct 31, 2010, 06:39 PM // 18:39

Solid job guys. Your passion for the game is evident in your play-calling.
Maybe a little too much over-calling in the game, but not bad.

One issue I had, I think, was I there were times when you called folks by another name.

One thing I would like to see is in the countdown timer time, if you could discuss the plusses and minuses of each teams opposing builds, and what it takes to defeat each.

Really appreciated the when you guys pointed out really good play and really questionable play. As well as asking each other what the losing team needed to do to win the game.

Thanks!

Apok · Oct 31, 2010, 08:00 PM // 20:00

I spoke to Angra last night, and we agreed to have a maximum of 3 commentators per match from here on out. 2, we felt, was too less, and obviously 4-5 was too much.

Glad everyone enjoyed our efforts! Tune in next month!

Joe Hostile · Nov 01, 2010, 01:22 AM // 01:22

Great job, guys!

tealspikes · Nov 01, 2010, 02:07 AM // 02:07

Do you folks plan on commentating other games as well or you gonna stick with MATs?
