2017-04-19 14:05

wow take it ez, i said imo. dont feel offended ;(

2017-04-19 15:05

I mean if you juxtapose Semmler and Anders with Sadokist and HenryG, HenryG and Anders are both very good analyst in terms of the on-going game, but Sado beats Semmler in every perspective. just my opinion tho

2017-04-19 16:23

i didnt feel offended at all. I dont have nothing against them. But when you have main casters that misunderstands A LOT of the plays made in the game, can't analyze the situation, and just focus to cheer up people, it's not a good thing. They miss too many things that happens in the game compare to the other casters. I preefer much more intelligent casters even without THAT MUCH excitement than only cheerleaders talking about the game. I think people should give more value to HenryG, the smartest caster on the big scene.

They used to be great, yes. Now Semmler just overhypes everything and Anders is just fat. So people who have been watching for a while now have grown tired of them. And since HenryG and Sadokist became a duo, Anders and Semmler became obsolete really.
