I could really do without the whining about shield tanking armor-tank ships, as well. 
WHO CARES, NOT YOUR SHIPS. Especially if they freaking WIN like that. That's like watching a baseball game and hearing the commentators call the players douchebags for two hours. They'd get fired with a quickness.

What you have to bear in mind is that the commentators do not have any idea of what each team is gong to field until the point at which they warp in from the beacon to the arena.
If the teams were on the field 20/30 mins before the fight, and had dedicated commentators for that specific fight, then they would hav time to make notes on the different sides and once the fight prior to that one was finished, it could move across to them so they could discuss the setups.
As it stands at the moment, and take the RnK vs Hellstrome fight, the youtube clip shows that as they begin discussing the warp in ranges etc the match begins, therefore stopping them from discussing what they think the reasons behind each teams ranges were.
Perfectly understandable that there is always going to be a lot of information left out, and in the few minutes that the matches take to complete, noone is ever going to be happy with the commentary. Ive even found myself at some points being frustrated at some of it, but they are doing their best.
Id give it a go, but my alliance mates struggle to understand what im screaming down TS sometimes in a broad scottish accent never mind the citizens of EVE.

I disagree, I think the commentators have been doing great job and I've enjoyed to listen to them.
If you don't like to know what they have eaten for their lunch then just wait for the videos, mute the audio and stop blaming. Thank you =)

Why the hell aren't you commentating anyway Verone ? From this thread (and I agree) people want to not only know what's going on, but they want some excitement that the current crop of commentators aren't conveying...
"Yes, ship A is bleeding into structure and might die soon..." is dull as ditchwater compared to "OMFG, team A is getting totally annihilated. They ARE MELTING under those Harbi's laser fire" !!
We want to hear commentators being excited about what they're seeing, so they can transfer that excitement to the listeners, and when the vids of the fights come out, hopefully that will carry across too.

what is up with the commenters saying that tyrrax rigged the match against goons and cheering for faul play like selfdestructing...
I mean.. don't you have commenters that aren't fanboys of a team and can give non-sided comment on a match..

Confirming that I was biased toward the Goons.
And yes, I do want some cutthroat stuff to happen in the tourney? Remember last time when someone assassinated a guy on his own team? Epic. Also, the only way to fix a match via a bribe is to take the bribe. If participants trusts their members, it's no worries.

Well now today's matches are over, I personally have to agree once again with the OP. The commentating hasn't been that bad today IMO, but it hasn't been great either.
It might have helped that this time we could at least see what was happening, rather than just just listen to inane non-descriptive drivel, but there was still no excitement, and no benny-hat wearing Geordie who has drunk too much coffee....
Come on commentators, this is the annual Alliance Tournament ! We don't care if you embarrass yourselves, just make an effort !! The crowds would rather you made **** of yourselves and got too excited, rather than make no effort and bored us all stupid... !

Kinda understand their position, but really, just don't talk about what you think is a good combination when a Kronos is down to structure  . Just don't, its that simple.
Some fights was good, but rest was mostly about kil2 saying something only remotely relevant to the current fight. Other guy, which, I don't know his name because he doesn't talk much because of kil2, was hell of a lot better than kil2, in fact, if he weren't there to interrupt kil2's PvP speech we wouldn't even hear about some ships blowing up. Other guy literally had to interrupt kil2 to announce the important stuff.
Kudos to you, the other guy (whatever your name is, sorry  )
Kil2, just concentrate on what you see, not on what "you" think is intresting/surprising.

yikes.
i will try to focus more on whats going on guess. im not amazing at providing screaming excitement as ships die theres no doubt. but also i guess when the match is streaming on live tv i expect to have people notice fro themselves that ships are dying.
on the radio i exclusively talked about ship HPs, whos shooting who, etc. but here i expected people to get mad if i was constantly saying stuff they could see without my explanation.
ill take it into consideration though and try to talk lessa bout waht i think is interesting.
tea is awesome i agree

I found it quite frustrating towards the end of the day when one of the commentators would ask the other one a question, but then go on without pausing to explain the question in much more detail before even giving the other guy chance to answer!
This happened a couple of times and I was almost shouting "Shut up and let him answer" at the screen.

What she said !
And this is exactly why I think Verone should retract his retirement, and get his ass back on the commentating crew. Even if the great unwashed can't see what's going on, we want to hear blow by blow details of pilots getting blown to bits, and exactly how, and with eloquent & descriptive but yet concise details about the event as it happens !
And we want to hear buzzwords said in a loud, shouty & excited voice like "Annihilated", "Melting", "Crushed" and "Obliterated". Hmm, I do anyway :)
We just want BLOOD, not boredom !!
</rant> think I need a lie down now...

It's a common technique in sports commentating. You have a 2 man team, and one guy is the "Play-by-play" guy, and one is the "Color commentator".
The play by play guy describes what he sees, the color guy jumps in with analysis and statistics, and punctuation stuff. Usually the PBP guy talks a lot more (kil2).
I think the commentating is fine.

Look you keep on rolling dude. Apart from soundwave who has to act like he doesn't know what's going on, you are the only one giving people who do know, knowledgeable commentary. If they can't understand it that's there fault, tat goes to the rest of the experts too. Keep things technical, explain them if you have too, but don't insult your audience, most of us know just as much as you.

Kil2 you are doing fine. I think those calling for more screaming and specific adjectives are confusing cheerleading with commentary. As you point out, we can all see what ships are going down. Putting some sort of whimsical cherry on that action is meaningless next to giving some opinion as to why, and you're doing a fine job of that.

Yes.
lets have it right. You only got your commentating slot through knowing an ex-commentator with tracky bottoms and what can only be described as the worst hat ever.
Upon looking at your BC stats i can't see what could possibly make you an expert.
10 solo kills in your eve history including 4 cyno frigs, 3 destroyers, 2 AF's and 1 ferox.
People will no doubt say that solo experience doesnt count for pvp knowledge but look at kil2 for instance, he's a solo pvp beast and also by far the best commentator eve has ever had.
