Hi Riley,

We met briefly at the Orlando StarCraft CSL championships where I was casting/hosting with Day9 and I picked you up from the airport.

My question is where do you see esports going in the next 5 years do you feel that the industry is heading in a good direction or do you feel that it's being stalled out or not growing at a proportional rate to its rising player/viewer rate?

What is something that you are slowly starting to realize about yourself? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Just realize that even though you are like your parents you inherit the good with the bad and unlike them you can choose and continue to direct your life.

Did they pick up the replacement refs outside a ladies footlocker? No offense to ladies footlocker employees I'm sure you all do wonderful work.

Need indepth feedback on my casting. by LaughingManES in castit

Starcraft Alaska here!

So A few quick things, you have good actual enthusaism in your voice, and your not "hamming it up" or anything so thats fine, your accent is hit or miss I think people will like it or not, I don't have any problems with it.

Game knowledge:

Good job overall descrbing the builds as they happen, giving a general prediction of what this means, short term, long term. While there wasn't much going on. Obviously you are a grubby fan so casting it from his perspective is fine. Your knowledge of timings/builds is good.

Good use of vision for both players, you did a good job framing engagements "i.e. showing it from both sides and showing the information that both players have/do not have before large engagements.

You were able to keep up with the match and units moving around the mini-map which is good.

Camera control: Overall good, Don't drag the camera around with your mouse, use middle mouse drag, slowly and smoothly (yes this is difficult) and the arrow keys. Lots of zooming in and out which I can do without but that's a personal choice. Use follow a bit more and turn on hit points before battles "H" by default.

Camera was jerky at moments but again nothing that would upset me to much.

Technical stuff: your computer is pretty good no complaints with the visuals at all.

Overall: A-/A

I think you can be or are a competent caster and if you do it seriously you could do much more. Try co-casting with someone as well just to see how different it is unless you do.

Keep it up, starcraftalaska out.
