The commentary for the alliance tournament is poor at best. Disappointed.

Well at least Michael Bolton's conquistador mustache kept me amused.

Sorry to say but true. Some guy in a rattlesnake finally went down in the last few seconds of the match and they completely ignored it talking some bs nd not what was happening. Been underwhelmed tbh.

Agreed, the talk should be about the fight not about pictures on walls or mustaches.... while amusing chat im sure it was just the wrong time, chat like that should be for intermissions or if nothing at all is happening. A lot of action completly ignored, the guys on before were 10 times better. |

Today and yesterday were the first Alliance Tournament fights I've watched. While the commentary is ok, it does seem to get a little off focus at times for such short battles.
When it's just one guy in a Merlin kiting his way around until the time is up, I can understand commentary getting off course a bit, but during the main body of the fights it did seem to lose focus at times.
Commentary during the last match (between Godfathers and some other alliance) was humorous, but only because one of the commentators seemed to be a member of the losing alliance.
Still, the tournament is a lot more interesting that I thought it would be. I'm learning a bit about various ship types that I've not considered flying before. |

Whats even more funny is that when we are training on Sisi Test server they are using locater agents to follow us around and even had the balls to scan us as we undocked to see what modules we are using.
As for Bolton's comments about us leaving Fountain just for the record we are on a road trip and its not because of anything they have done... and you never know our next stop might be to drop in to see our good friends in Hun and Nulli for tea and biscuits in Delve. |

Since it's here lol, ya it blows but TBH the whole AT blows now...
90% of it is looking at some stupid ass cam.
The new overview sucks... the commenters suck (also who the hell wants to see those fail guys? Waste of screen space)
The ads were always cutting off the last few secs of those tards talking too it was lol.
Best part was the "my client is a mess I'm just watching the stream" LOL. |

Well they are amateurs...
I usually just turn the sound off anyway and talk with people on mumble about what's going on. |

It wouldn't be so bad if they:
1. Watched the match.
2. Commented on the match (the amoount of times they said something like, "I didn't even see him die")
3. Have some knowledge of eve
4. Paticiated in the tournement before (Even Kil2 was missing stuff constantly as if he'd just woken up and he's been doing this **** for years.)
5. Read the rules.
It's a joke. |

There are a lot of things that I dislike about the way this AT is going from a technical standpoint as well as my view on the commentary.
Numerous times the new hosting service has interrupted my watching of a match to show me an advert. Only to return and see I missed the end of the match.
It just seems like this year is a huge downgrade so to speak when compared to prior years Alliance Tournaments. |

i stated, very clearly, the commentary was amateur, not the commentators. they might be pro at eve, but they need to work on how they present fights to the viewing audience. there is a difference. i'm sorry you weren't able to pick up on that.

CCP Guard! Your newest commentator just volunteered.
"We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming. |

Same thing as the AT thread, haters, gonna, hate. /shrug
I like bad jokes.
I like puns.
I like silly facial hair commentary.
So far the AT has been fantastic for me. Keep in mind guys that they have to watch their own stream to see some of the ECM effects and whatnot, all the while commentating on the action live. Its not an easy job, and they are volunteering to do this. If its really bothering you then just turn the sound off and talk with your friends about it, but personally I'm enjoying this AT just fine so far.

I think the whole thing is Armature at best. I never gotten use to these guys showing up looking like they just got out of bed, with there bed heads and such. Even in the finals, you would think CCP would escalate there game a bit. They never do. Listen this is meant as feed back CCP not a slam. You should consider a mandatory dress code. Select people with some experience at doing this sort of thing. Raise your bar!
1) Screen people for screen presents, and commentating ability. Yes an effort has to be made.
2) Each and every person selected needs to viewed and tested prior to going on the air. Yes more necessary effort.
3) Dress code, AHHH yes. Sports coats & ties, possibly with a CCP STAFF name tag. Must be awake, functional, and
ready to commentate. Looking Professional!
4) Try to make sure the back drop doesn't look like a messy teenager's room. Send them a large poster, have them hang
this behind them in such a way as it looks good, and professional. Remember this represents CCP.
5) Oh yea, they need to know something about the game. Stop focusing on them being famous in the game, start
focusing on there natural broadcasting ability's. Remember this represents who you are CCP.
6) Oh yea, they need to pay attention to the match
Oh yea one last they need to represent as many different facets of the PVP side of the game as possible, from all alliances, (not just Goon or Test). If I see the special guest from Veto one more time I'm going to feel a little weird. Who the heck is Veto anyway?
No it's not an easy job! But this sort of thing comes natural to some. |

kinda reminds me of the friday night football games on tv here... you get commentators who, during play start talking about the weather, and how it affects thier joints, and then thier remedies, and so on and so forth and oh wait someone scored yell scream in amazement.. yeah right
then there was the time they spent a good 10 minutes discussing political issues during a match..
basically, in that light what i have seen from watching the tournament live feeds, the guys commentating eve are trumping the "pro commentators" in aussie rugby league lol |

before worrying about the commentators maybe think for a moment about how CCP presented itself through Soundwave's comments and how well your vision of "professional" commentators in suits would match that style. |

The SC(bw) and SC2 community really understands how to do commentary ... here at EVE we do not.
We need a good play by play man who knows how to get excited ... not 2 color commentary people. Saddly, even the CCP people working the cameras can't seem to follow the action 80% of the time.
EVE battles can look so epic, I wish CCP would take some time to focus on the production of one of these tournaments. |

well my post isnt really about commentary but about visual side of the show
i did read many negative posts on youtube as i just started catching up on past 2 days of tournament
i actually like the new feed and all the information it gives
thou it could be lil smaller as currently it takes like 1/4 of screen plus corp names on top of that
only thing that bugs me personally is feed from commentators skipping way too much/fast from one to other... so
here.. just an example i made in 1min of paint how i would like it to look :P

about zastrow first day think he was doing it by watching stream.. so cant really blame him he was behind ?
still i guess they could put more effort into commentating even thou this are only qualifiers.. |
