Oomy!

This is good stuff

Trying a new strategy to avoid tilting. If I get stressed out in a game, I think about eating a big sandwich. If that doesn't help, I think about eating an even bigger sandwich.

to be fair I do make lattes at home! but def not as often as at work lol
At home i prefer espresso or cappuccinos but my fam does love a latte

I think the speed of the game requires commentators to help viewers know what the hell os happening on screen. Every time a friend who doesn’t play the game watches a broadcast I’m in, they say “I dunno what was happening but it was fun”.

The better the color comm, the better they understand.

If all i did was say what’s happening in play by play, the game gets a lot less exciting because all you see is a lot of deaths but no progress (especially clam blitz at low level is plagued by long periods of no push)

Low level casts can feel “random” because there are less reliable choices made. You have to break the game down to its basics and tell the audience exactly what mistakes could happen to change the game. When they do, it creates a great “Oh No!” moment, which is more fun BECAUSE you told the audience

I’m by no means the most skilled player, commentator, or cam op, but i have done all 3 for a good 2 years now.

In my experience, the most entertaining broadcasts are when you can set up an analysis that pays off with the teams executing what you predict.

I make like 100 lattes per shift. This one was done sometime in the morning i just didn’t post until after my nap.
