I feel the commentators have definitely got to improve their use of the camera. While it is nice to see EVE's amazing graphics and particle effects, it is very hard to get an overview of the battle while zoomed in on an ishkur. The small window in the lower right is simply not enough to show the battlefield.
Perhaps simple things like starting centered on the beacon but zoomed all the way out to show where the teams have warped in at, followed by centering upon ships taking damage while still zoomed out to highlight where ships are in relation to them. Is this scimitar on 0 with the vindicator and webbed to hell and back, or is it slowly building range and possibly going to escape?
Granted this is the very first day so I look forward to things improving over time. Thanks guys for being bold enough to at least volunteer to be commentators! |

Those are CCP dudes running the camera from CCP HQ. The commentators are just chilling cloaked on grid trying to figure out what's going on |

You're terrible, Zastrow. I mean, come on... I think the whole EVE community /facepalmed when you made that Vinidcator being vindicated crack... BTW, see what you can do about getting us all copies of the CCP Soundwave soundboard. |

Full marks to Raivi for excellent commentary. Kil2 did sa good job too, allthough there was a few instances where he appeared uncertain of what happend. Lazarus Telraven was decent, given that it was his first time. Zastrow.... well. Sorry dude, but you are just unfunny, rude and on top of that dont seem to take your job seriously. You are commentating a live stream explaining EVE PVP to thousands of viewers, not jabbing with your friends over a beer. Pull yourself together, you can do better than this.
To CCP, good show. The new interface takes a lot of space but it also gives a LOT of information now. I just love the effects notifications, which makes it SOO much easier to follow what happens. On that note however, it seems to me like the commentators dont have the information that is available to the viewers. On several occasions it was plainly obvious what was happening just from watching effects notifications but the commentators were still discussing what MIGHT be going on. As a consequence, the commentators and the interface told different stories of what was happening on several occasions. |

CCP needs to remove the pictures from the bottom of the screen. It's obvious you guys are looking at yourselves instead of watching the fights. I have no desire to look at you and you're all clearly distracted. |

Not that I actually have a clue, but Kil2 said during the stream that those icons only show that the module is active. It doesn't mean that the jams are hitting. |

Yeah theres a lot going on here that isn't obvious. We can see the ewar effects you see, but we see them on a delay. The ewar effects you see don't necessarily mean that the effect is actually making a difference (jams attempted but missed, or TDs applied but outside falloff).
And most importantly, getting used to using the new interface was just plain awkward for me for at least the first 4 matches. Hopefully we all get better at using all the information available as the tournament goes on. =)

Exactly. I think we would all use it to make our ringtones on our phones something that Soundwave says. People everywhere will use Soundwave to let them know when they have a call or a text... |

I liked the first two commentators, Raivi and Lazarus, and I think the first half was commentated much better then the second half. The other two guys... I feel sorry for Kil2 because it looked like he was trying to comment on the matches, while Zastrow appeared to just be babbling off on his own uninteresting tangent that had nothing to do with the fights, at least the new interface made it easy to see what was going on even without actual commentary on the match. |

I think you guys are being harsh... Yeah, Zastrow may have made some mistakes but it's not easy talking live in front of thousands of people about what's going on on the screen. So he wasn't perfect. Big deal. I love to bash on Goons since it's the "cool" thing to do but I think Zastrow did a good job for what it was. |

I think they were all great. You guys are spoiled :) Anyone remember Brienne? 
Zastrow was probably the one who gave the least information about what was happening in the battle, but he was in my opinion the most entertaining while also being informative. I enjoyed seeing him and Kil2 arguing. |

With the new interface giving you pretty much all the info you need, I don't think commentators /have to/ talk about what's going on all the time anymore. Having said that, Zastrow still has a long way to go to match DARIUS JOHNSON in terms of terrible puns. |
