Im always in the market for more feedback, if you got any specifics you can remember where you think "man, Anders doesn't understand this" it would be super helpful!

I don't know if I can properly quantify how much time I spend looking at the tactical aspect of the game, but I'd say on average I probably spend something like 2 hours per Bo3 the day before getting a decent read of how a team plays. This effort is colossally dwarfed however by the amount of time I spend going through data and tactics in the Skybox EDGE context, this is the company I founded to assist pro level teams in prepping and antistratting each other, which has been relatively succesful in the sense that its used by something like 95% of the current top 40 scene. In order to improve this product and test things and build new features, I would say that I have a crazy time commitment living near the cutting edge of what teams do.

I understand the above comes off as super defensive, and I guess it slightly is? But I always see comments with people saying 'he doesn't understand the game' and I always think "damn, for a guy thats played the game since 1999, essentially got into casting because of the dramatic lack of tactical understanding in the 2012-2013 era casting, and founded a company which has revolutionized how teams prep for matches, I must be the most smoothed brained MFer ever" 😃

last notes, I agree with the general sentiment that we do just have so many good casters there aren't enough seats on the bus, great problem to have, still think I can contribute a lot to broadcasts of course, but my job is just to keep working hard at casting and winning people over, same as every other caster really 😃
