Appreciate the critique on mistakes, helps to better visualize what kind of live sports commentary works and what doesn't. (lowkey would be interested to see breakdowns of other casters where they might make some occasional mistakes as well [if you can get permission from them/get explanations from them just to get their perspective and perhaps try to balance it with your own]) oh and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! :3c
I love that you left it as an open ended question whether Hiko could clutch or not. When casters dismiss a player like it happened recently with the Donk 1v5 in mirage it feels really bad. But it also feels bad when you hype up a player for the clutch and he doesnt do it.
Hey DDK, loving these videos of yours. Wondering if you'll be going back in time to look at Anders+Semmler, Henry and Sado etc? Also - on that round where you felt you missed an important detail (the time), does your co-caster try to signal you if they're catching info that you're not?
Yeah, I will do it! Yes, sometimes it's the case that one of us will point to the minimap or try to indicate what the one currently casting may be missing if it's really important and it's obvious it's being missed--ie. Pointing at the clock/tapping where the watch would be on our arm, pointing at a flank, etc. Also, we used a signal system from time to time, so if either of us had a really key point, we could signal and get a throw mb much sooner. With all the above, though, we try to be quite sparing because signaling can be distracting, or it may be the case the caster casting is aware but had chosen not to talk about that thing deliberately or they are about to bring it up already. Generally, if casters are at the top level and locked in, they should rarely miss basic stuff, so being allowed to make the mistake is also sometimes important for personal accountability and growth. So yeah, making sure there's a balance is key, like with any tool, you need to know when to use it and when not to.
As someone who just struggles to my get point across in daily conversations, i respect the hell out of commentators as talented as you guys 🤣 been loving these caster breakdowns
"This map has more angles than a protracter Dan" is one of the best lines I've heard in casting, man I miss James and you casting games.

Black ddk and white Bardolph meme, that's a throwback
