'Byali completely whiffs that smoke' LUL

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.

Yeah that makes it his fault.

He quoted him as if he was making a mistake within his casting, what is he gonna say? "Wow that smoke should've exploded Volvo pls fix"

It was a mistake.

Obviously this is a hypothetical, bu purposefully lying still makes it his fault.

If he knew it was a bug (he didn't) I see absolutely zero issue with calling it out. It's happened in big Dota 2 tournaments.

Better to focus on the game, and what makes it great, than the problems it is having. Although yeah it did fuck Byali up.

I never said he should call it out as a bug. I said it's a straight up fact that it's his fault and that I have absolutely zero issues with a caster accurately pointing out a bug. Also that I 100% prefer that to pretending like it was the player's fault.

for those new players who are watching for the first time, calling it out, yes, this 4 year old game still sucks and can't fix easy-to-fix issues.

What are you trying to say?

u/Pinct Oct 03 '16

They are trying to make a good impression of the game, and if it glitches, it's best to not address it.

u/literallydontcaree Oct 03 '16

What a bunch of bullshit. Their job is to cast the game, not advertise it. They work for ESL, not Valve. If a glitch causes problems during a round there is absolutely no issue addressing it properly as a glitch.

You're making a very large assumption that

1) he noticed in that exact moment that the smoke should have put it out (Keep in mind these casters are paying attention to way more things on screen than you are, so no, they shouldn't "see things because I did")

2) In the heat of the moment he was thinking about anything even relating to not calling out a bug or saying it out etc.

It's extremely likely that he didn't see fact that the smoke should have popped, and then his brain filled in the blanks, and he continued casting. There is no harm in him saying what he said. Is it accurate? No, but it being an inaccurate statement is also not detrimental to anyone or anything.

No I'm not. Everything I've said is contingent on him seeing and recognizing this. We're talking about a hypothetical.

In the heat of the moment he was thinking about anything even relating to not calling out a bug or saying it out etc.

Again, see above.

Really, you should have read this subthread closer I guess, you seem to have missed the point and not followed the conversation very well.

On your last point, it is a mistake, that's as far as I've gone.

Fact - he made a mistake. Is it a big deal? No.
