keeping in mind that a commentator is first and foremost an entertainer.
Kil2 Did good. Got comfortable in the role and made everybody else comfortable watching him
Darius Had some troubles at the start but was funny when confident enough to let go
Angelhun Decent guy
Brianna Is a girl with some level of nerd knowledge. That is enough really
Verone Cool and authoritative, tho a bit of his game by Darius' goon act

Good Christ, you people suck.
If you don't like the commentary, then apply for the job yourself next year, else stfu.
Each of these people actualy did the job.
That puts each one of them head and shoulders above all the whiners in this thread.

Kil2 - Very pro. Nothing further to add. Verone - Very good most of the time, occasionnally went off on one at the wrong moment but otherwise also excellent. Angelhun - Fine, very competent. Darius - I had my doubts at first but his style grew on me, he made me laugh out loud on several occasions, which rarely happens. Worked very well with Verone playing it straight, good double act. Brianna - Was OK as a behind the desk expert for the newbies if you see what I mean but had no place in the commentry box. Nothing personal and I'm sure I'd be far, far worse but there you go ...
Special credit to Verone and Darius (if it was them) in handling the horror of the extended 1 v 1 non-fight. Would have been very easy to crash and burn in a situation like that.
All in all good job guys! Obviously details were missed but there was often a lot going on at times and that was always going to happen ...

Darius was the best for me, he added levity to a tournament that was a bit too srsbusiness at times. His commentary wasn't particularly amazing but he made up for it with laughs and some genuinely interesting studio chats.
Verone was as competent as ever although looked depressed in that studio... then again having to wear that beanie might have that effect.
Kil2 & Hun were competent, can't say much more than that.
Brianna was obviously selected for the a-girl-on-the-internets factor, unfortunately it backfired a bit for her and CCP. The amount of nerd-rage created was overly mean and a bit childish... I doubt she would ever want to commentate on anything ever again.
Soundwave held it together really well although he tows the party line a bit too much imo. In fact the tournaments are heading too much towards SRSBUSINESS imo, compared to earlier tournaments where everyone would get drunk on the last day with much hilarity ensuing and epic diatribes against CCP devs

In general.
Commentators job IS NOT to point out how they HATE some ship over other. It just shows the lack of professional approach by repeating continuously how they hate that ship X and how eve is better place when ship X is blown up.
It might be easy to fill the empty spaces with silly banter, but in general... that's really lame behaviour and only emphasizes the lack of knowledge and ability to think out of box. "I don't like it so I don't like it... please blow it up quickly" < that's silly.
Some commentators did splendid job giving and general overview whats going on and tried to quess tactics... but few of them... |

I like Kil2's vids and he is knowledgeable, but I don't like his voice that much.
You have virtual spaceships shooting at each other on the screen and sometimes you can barely seen anything.
So for me the greatest commentator value is style, entertaining value, and humor. Some funny British accents with some weird British humor is pretty good for this.

Kil2 Good. Overall best PVP commentary & also entertaining on TV. Looks a bit like Sylar from Heroes ???
Darius Johnson Got much better in final week. Good entertainment value
Angelhun Average. Less mistakes on final week. Not really engaging but he handles himself okay for studio thingy
Brianna Bad in first week. Improved in final week. A bit nervous on TV. Good novelty factor ( girl ) & maybe hard for other girls to pull off as pvp commentator
Verone Decent in first week. Became quite atrocious in final week. Became stale

Edited by: cok cola on 24/06/2010 16:01:23 kil2 was the best commentator and the only one that seemed to know what he was talking about.
brianna was by far the worst not because of her english but because of the stupid things she said ie. "tengu > legion in tourney because tengus are better for missions" angel head, besides being unfunny looked like he was having an allergic reaction to a bee-sting and was swelling/sweating on the camera.
and i dont know who it was that kept asking all the completely ******ed questions like "explain missiles to us" "explain tracking disruptors kil2" etc etc, do we really need these ******ed explanations of the basics during the tourney matches? instead of talking for the sake of talking, and talking about really stupid ****, focus on explaining the stuff thats happening that we cant necessarily see over the camera. you dont realy need to tell us that an ishkur is at half shields or w/e, we can see that. Talk more about positioning, any ewar if you see it, stuff that isnt conveyed clearly all the time with the camera angles. if it looks like an entire team is jammed out or someones being neuted and you can see his hardeners have been shut off or w/e, dont explain the basics ffs, surely the majority of people interested in watching pvp matches knows how this **** works.

I don't mean this in a nasty way but my gf came in while I was watching and after listening to him for a minute, completely seriously, she asked, "Is he autistic?"
I paused for a minute and then said, "Not sure, but it WOULD explain a lot of things."
That was my first impression, but after watching Day 5 and 6 of AT8 I feel bad for my first impression of him. He definitely seems to shine at times (IMO).

i like to make it personal and am a tard about it.
kil2 - great all-around, #1 com.
Angelhun - a bit slow, yet sometimes interesting
Darius - fun to listen to, smoke even more
Brianna - much room for improvement, still should have a second try
Verone - fine, a bit boring/repetitive sometimes and should not try to be funny anymore
soundwave - okish, but something fresh would not harm

kil2 - cute! and very talented PvPer, knows his stuff and gave accurate + interesting stuff throughout the whole tournament.
Darius - I really enjoyed his one liners and jokes, I am a heavy PvPer on TQ so I knew must of what was happening/going on so maybe I enjoyed him more than others. Really makes the slow + boring matches more interesting.
Angel - pretty good, wouldn't say he is as good as Kil2, but certainly knew what was going on and gave decent commentary.
Verone - decent commentator, he was wrong on almost all the guns he called by looking at the ships, but hes a solid commentator and usually always has something interesting to say so no dead air.
Brianna - Weak link this time around, I figure she knows what is happening, she is just very nervous and needs to work on her confidence a lot more. too many "err... ummm.... uhhh...." when explaining things. ---

And he didn't take a breath. And he talked for 80% of the time on day 5 with boring and uninsightful comments. AND He seemed to just get lost and not stay on top of the big picture on the match. Half a match went by and he had talked the entire time about some silly insight without giving any attention to what was happening on the spaceship game.
If I watched these videos ONLY to listen to him, I would have enjoyed them a lot.

kil2 Competent, stayed on the ball most of the time but sometimes a bit biased and excitable. Needs to calm down.
Angelhun Sounded very monotonous and he seemed to have learned everything from reading about EVE and not actually playing it for experience. Not bad, just dull.
Darius Personally loved his comedy style, lot of people I know complained about his puns, it seemed rather obvious to me that he was using them satirically which I liked. Didn't bring much to the field with his actual battle analysis though.
Verone Got a tad repetitive near the end, but still informative without too much bias. Worked very well with Darius.
P.S. I like your face. |

In order, favourite to least favourite:
Verone - Awesome. Respect the hat. Angelhun - Good commentator. Kil2 - Can easily switch between being a good commentator and downright annoying. Easily got better as the tournament went on. Darius Johnson - In all the matches i've watched, he leeches too much off what other commentators have been saying. Still not the worst. Brianna Tempest - Dear god; Not only does she detract too much from the match (Most importantly, Squid, Fish and Tentacles? What? The? ****?) but she gets things wrong far too often.

Verone + Darius come back next time! Both laid back, proper language. Verone being more apt with game mechanics and so forth, Darius more to fool around. But it adds up very well, especially some of the day 5 matches were quite entertaining just for the comment. Absolutely.
Kil2 - too serious spaceship business, damn broad american english, guessing back and forth trying to stay all aloof. stay away please.
The other guy - annoying voice
Biranna - facepalm

Kil2 had the best commentary, seemed aware of the match instead of rambling on about some topic they got stuck on, got better with co-opertive commentators that would spice stuff up but let him keep the commentary on track
Verone & Angelhun were good, not quite as sharp as Kil2 on what was going on but probably more pleasant overall
Darius had too many random comments and not enough awareness of the match to know when it was a dead enough point to get away with such
Brianna just didn't understand the game well enough, some time in ETF would inform a lot of her commentary better never mind further experience through PvP
