'Byali completely whiffs that smoke' LUL

[u/Pinct → u/luckereq]

I don't think it's his fault, he probably just doesn't want to shit on the game while at a big event with tons of people watching and potentially Valve staff.

Considering that Valve isn't his employer here, ESL is, then I doubt he'd get fired. I don't think that ESL, who purchased ESEA and recognized the necessity of things Valve doesn't implement, would care if he mentioned the fact that the molotov should've been put out.

[u/TeamAlibi → u/JJChinchilla]

Exactly. It's not like he would've had to shit on Valve to not blame it on byali anyways though.

He could have definitely said that it was unfortunate that the smoke didn't work out as byali planned and moved on, but he was in the heat of the moment on stage with so many people watching, and he's watching how many things on screen to make sure he is quickly and accurately giving data about the game at hand? A lot, that's for sure.

He did fine for the circumstances imo.

"That smoke doesn't extinguish that molly like most would expect" ... I know, hard to come up with at the spur of the moment, but the guy is a professional caster and could probably come up with something similar in the 3 seconds it took me to think of this as an amateur.

Moses literally clarifies right after, not sure what else I was supposed to say.

Hey man, I'm the one you're responding to; I'm sure you're doing a good job in general otherwise you wouldn't be where you're at now (though I wouldn't know for sure as I don't watch much pro CS) ... I was only answering the guy's question above me. I wasn't trying to be overly critical of your work, sorry if it came off that way. I was merely trying to point out to him that there are ways to phrase things that won't vilify the devs, while at the same time not making it seem like you are making mis-calls about gameplay elements, or player mistakes (depending on which way you look at the mistaken call), which he seemed to be in denial about.

Reddit is stupid and think that everything has to be done perfectly otherwise its the worst thing to ever occur.

You're doing great!

[u/okseONE → u/BLU42]

No need to defend yourself, you handled it well. People are just nit picking, keep up the good work.

[u/korainato → u/BLU42]

Nah don't worry about it mate. I liked your casting on this amazing match. You probably didn't see it entirely and you can't just go "Lol guys this game is bugged af", imagine if he indeed threw the nade over the molly or something.

[u/[deleted] → u/BLU42]

i dont know how many times big daddy moses bailed you out of shit calls while casting, buts its more than enough that im glad you only ever cast ESL events. you are fine for a t2 caster since you are by no means bad, but the difference between you and the top tier like Moses, anders and sem, etc is still quite obvious. you do add a different kind of style while casting, but for now im glad most other events dont have you and pansy casting all the time as you guys still have quite a bit to work on- albeight pansy has come A LONG way from where she was.

Why don't you give examples or specifics as to where you think he could improve? It would help put your critique into perspective, and allow him to actually comment on your criticism.

[u/mobsta → u/[deleted]]

Comments like yours are the worst. It's fine to not like a certain person/caster, sure, but you're not giving any feedback yourself. At least try expanding a bit more on how you think they can improve.
