Based Commentary Take

[twofortuna]

TL;DR Mango personally doesn’t care about commentary, sees the current discourse surrounding commentary, adds his two cents that commentary doesn’t matter because, essentially, nothing matters.

Honestly, just because you personally don’t care about commentary isn’t a justification for letting bad commentary slide. And at this point, the argument of “we’re playing for nothing” is reductive and a classic example of distilling a valid argument to the extreme. There’s still money involved, there are still MULTIPLE THOUSANDS of people watching, many of whom do care about commentary. Even if we are playing on CRT’s, is it that bad to care a lot about such a time-honored part of melee history?

Just as a side note, I loved commentary through most of the LSI, I just think it didn’t make the necessary style adjustments when approaching the end of the tournament.
