In 30 seconds in our match MB3 revealed he has paid exactly 0 attention to the rules or anything surrounding the tournament by pointing out how we were fielding our vindicator flagship in the prelim match. However, our flagship is a vindicator (well perhaps our vindicator murdered an armageddon and wore its skin?????? It certainly is bloody enough.........) and you can't even field a flagship in prelims.
Every match he commentates on I have to mute, which is annoying as sometimes I want to hear some commentary that isn't my corpmates (gorion talks way too much) and I actually like Laz, but MB3 just ruins everything and makes me want to stab my eardrums. |

Second, not knowing that flagships weren't allowed in prelims isn't that surprising. IIRC they haven't broadcast prelims yet, so it's not surprising that the commentators don't have every rule minimized. Seeing a Bhal on field and guessing that it might be the flagship isn't a bad guess, especially when about 4/5 of the flagships seem to be Bhals. However, once he was notified that he was wrong, he corrected himself. Commentators aren't perfect, everyone makes mistakes at times.
You're right, it's not surprising that he didn't read the rules. It's not like he's supposed to be doing commentary for the match or anything? Go watch sports on TV, the commentators for that have at least a general idea of the rules. |

Um ... last I checked "a general idea of the rules" and "knowing every single in and out of the rules" aren't the same thing. Missing one detail of one section of the rules, something that the commentators didn't have to worry about last year since there was no commentating on the pre-qualifying rounds, really isn't as big a deal as you make it out to be.
Knowing what ships can be fielded when is a pretty general idea of the rules. |
