Ikoras Minmatar Final Agony B A N E	Posted - 2010.06.20 22:52:00 - [1] Edited by: Ikoras on 20/06/2010 22:54:36 Kil2 You are an Idiot Angelhun great knowledge of History not so good with on the spot calling, We never fielded artis nor ecm drones Darius Johnson No comment Brianna Please do not try to return Verone Veteran Commentator, On the spot for most of it
Mariel Gude	Posted - 2010.06.20 23:38:00 - [2] Kil2: only really professional commentator ever. brings a lot of useful and interesting theories and observations to the table the viewers don't necessarily see for them selves. teamed with Crovan in AT6/7 was perfect commentator duo. angelhun: decent. 7/10 Darius Johnson: funny, but unspectacular. Brianna Tempest: not as bad as everyone makes her out to be, but struggled a bit with her English, and really felt like just a "random eve player off the streets", not an "expert". Verone: getting old. was a lot better in AT6. a bit dependent on good chemistry with co-commentator to really shine. all: it's obvious you all spend less time pvping now then you maybe did a few years ago. ofc, real life and/or managing a corp/alliance takes away from it, so maybe now isn't a good time to apply as AT expert? more "current" pvp pilots would like to go to Iceland too...
Picadilly	Posted - 2010.06.21 01:25:00 - [3] I think Darius+Verone is best. In this order. :)
Sujanra Acoma Minmatar Shadow Kitty Legion	Posted - 2010.06.21 01:34:00 - [4] Kil2, Verone, and Angelhun seemed like the most knowledgeable. Verone and Darius JOHNSON were the most entertaining.
Ikoras Minmatar Final Agony B A N E	Posted - 2010.06.21 01:40:00 - [5] Unfortunately I was unable to experience most of Darius's commentary as I was closing down the browser well before and after the fights we were in. That's why I had no comment of his commentary.
Zofran	Posted - 2010.06.21 02:06:00 - [6] Kil2 Not bad, not good, sounded a bit arrogant at times and also had way too much of a bias towards teams/ideas and unable to see things for what they were, while not necessarily a bad commentator if he could address that and chill out a bit, he'd most likely shape up. Angelhun A bit lost and generally out of place, average in ability to commentate and short on situational awareness... I cant really say "omg never again", but at the same time... what's the point if you're just average? we want insightful, aware people. Darius Johnson First weekend was pretty horrible, but second weekend was great he stopped interrupting the co-commentator and actually kept a very close eye on everything, being far more aware of what was going on than most - if you had asked me first weekend I'd have said never again... but now I'd be looking forward to seeing him back. Brianna While theres no doubt, girls sell... I'm pretty sure you could find one that was less annoying or prone to saying out of place/fluffy crap. Please don't return with this one. I hear some of the more euro-centric alliances have quite established female pvpers and maybe you should look to snipe one of those rather than a public entrant running on the "free trip to iceland". Verone Veteran Commentator, while not always aware of exactly what was going on he called it fair and called it well, a stand up guy and someone I always look forward to listening to, plays well off the weaker aspects of a co-commentator to make a team which is better than the sum of the parts.
Musical Fist Gallente The Unknown Bar and Pub	Posted - 2010.06.21 02:13:00 - [7] Kil2 Got very into it, perfect for it imo Angelhun Boring ;) Darius Johnson Random but was somewhat entertaining Brianna I must have missed the parts when she was bad, dunno what the huge drama was tbh Verone He should have wore a 'I agree with Darius + some words' t-shirt, quite surprised at him tbh Saying that if I had to choose my fav I would probably say Kil2 purely because of how into it he got, dunno wtf Darius was on half the time, Brianna was fine tbh dunno what the deal with her with her tbh, Angelhun / Verone OMG WTF?! -- Emo TraderJohn's Number 1 Fan!!
AkJon Ferguson	Posted - 2010.06.21 02:26:00 - [8] Kil2 Seems to have started believing his own press. Or maybe he's self-conscious about going bald on TV. But he seemed irritable/arrogant and was much worse than previously. Angelhun Not memorable. Darius Most improved. Brianna Proof that there are a ****-ton of misogynists in EVE. Did a fine job given that English is not her first language. A little on-edge, but hard to blame her. Had as many spot-on comments as anyone else. Verone Too often would use self-deprecating humor by his co-commentator as an opportunity to insult that person. Doesn't bring much to the table. CCP Soundwave Anyone else tired of his shtick? 'Hmmm, I have nothing to say so I'll just blather randomly about Pandas or bears or something and that will make me seem witty or cleverly intentionally dim or whatever.' CCP Claw & his buddy I guess the chemistry between these two was genuine enough that they were the least annoying of the bunch.
Trauli	Posted - 2010.06.21 02:47:00 - [9] SERIOUS BUSINESS RANKINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Kil2: By far the best. Could have done the entire tourney himself and commentary could have been very good. Verone: At times he was decent but at others he made 'wtf did he really say that?!' moments. 2nd best maybe DJ: Entertaining but not the best at providing deep tactical analysis of fights, also too many moments of 'Errr something just died but i didn't see what it was' ;) Putting him beside someone like Kil2 and he does well as a 'colour' guy. Brianna: Gets a lot of hate on here but i didn't mind her so much. Probably shouldn't be a commentator right now as there are better peeps out there who could do it. Angel Hun: Sorry but he didn't really add anything to the tourney. I found him to be a bit humourless and a little too cheerleady of his spaceship bros that i got a little irritated by towards the end. Minus points for the tattoo, plus points for puking on claws couch. In saying that props to them all for steping up and doing it.
Hyman Blaster	Posted - 2010.06.21 02:49:00 - [10] Originally by: AkJon Ferguson Kil2 Seems to have started believing his own press. Or maybe he's self-conscious about going bald on TV. But he seemed irritable/arrogant and was much worse than previously. Brianna Proof that there are a **-ton of misogynists in EVE. Did a fine job given that English is not her first language. A little on-edge, but hard to blame her. Had as many spot-on comments as anyone else. hahah you're literally ****ed in real life

Saikron	Posted - 2010.06.21 04:03:00 - [11] I thought Kil2 was the only commentator that actually had a decent understanding of what was going on in fights. Everybody else was saying really obvious/stupid stuff ("An ishkur is taking damage... it died..."). I understand some folks out there could be getting audio only, but that doesn't mean you should give both parties the bare minimum. Brianna speaks English perfectly, and it's not her fault she was picked. I could say she shouldn't have been picked but honestly she was only doing as bad as the rest of them: only telling us what stuff was taking damage or explaining the difference between shield tanking and armor tanking -repeatedly-. Some of the problem was Soundwave, who is not a sports caster. Needing filler is understandable because you can't sit there and look at each other for 3 minutes between fights, but you also don't ask yes or no questions or do another "Explain for the newbs out there..." He could have asked the commentators for example "What should that team have done differently?" "Why don't we see more of that on tranquility?" "Why would ATeam choose setup X knowing they will fight BTeam?" "What advice do you have for them before the qualifiers next weekend?" You are welcome to use any of these Soundwave
Eric Stratton Neuronix	Posted - 2010.06.21 05:42:00 - [12] Kil2: Best overall IMO, as far as the larger tactical picture in the match, though he could be a bit negative at times Angelhun: Very pleasant and competent enough Darius Johnson: I liked him best in the studio. Sometimes funny, sometimes not quite, but his studio commentary was nice. Not the best for calling the action, however. Brianna: A nice attitude that contrasts well with the rest of the commentators, but seemed to struggle with a lot of game knowledge, bordering on cringe-worthy at times. I'm not sure if it was her knowledge, or just the pressure of trying to express it clearly on the spot, which I can see would take practice and doesn't come naturally to everyone. Relaying of concepts was often clumsy. Verone: He seemed to be the closest to a somewhat excited soccer-type commentator, also competent enough, but he has a few stock phrases he needs to break out of. "Straight away, an absolute swarm of drones!" The "straight away" and "absolute/absolutely" were ever present. Overall I was happy with everything, and look forward to bigger and better things in the future. I appreciated the CCP information that was relayed in the features and CCP guest employees. 2nd best thing to Eve-fest videos in that regard. Advertisements were fun too.
Eulalinda	Posted - 2010.06.21 07:07:00 - [13] Which commentator had the British accent, Verone or Darius Johnson? Would be nice if the commentators would introduce themselves at least every few matches.
BlackHelmetMan Amarr Stimulus Rote Kapelle	Posted - 2010.06.21 07:33:00 - [14] Originally by: Saikron Brianna speaks English perfectly, and it's not her fault she was picked. Yes, lets her absolve her of all responsibility for APPLYING and in turn being ****. When she commentated she was clueless. When she was on the panel, she was vapid and clueless. Kil2 got into it and was entertaining to listen to, Darius and Angel improved over the course off the tournament (tbh, most of the commentary was terrible the first weekend, but thats kind of semi-expected). Verone was Verone, and was sometimes entertaining and sometimes cringe worthy. Helped when he wasn't saddled with Brianna.
NereSky Gallente Domination.	Posted - 2010.06.21 07:36:00 - [15] Darius - initially for me i didnt like him but he grew on me and became quite funny Verone - Great from the start but seemed to get more relaxed as time when on, great comedy value when paired with Darius Briana - tbh i enjoyed her commentary wouldnt call her a expert (but then again ive been playing since 2004 and im no expert lol, but great to watch (although she looked very nervous). Kil2 - great guy good to listen and watch Angel hun the same as Kil2 But Darius and Verone were more watchable becuase of the added humour, If ive missed anyone im sorry (wont incl Claw and Stavros as well they filled in on one match and were in no way as good as they have been. - loved the set this year Soundwave grrrrreat work, and still awesome to see StevieSG - you rock girl (my wife still frowns when she sees you since fanfest 2008 lol) Oh and great to see Navigator on set this year about time this hunk of a man was invited on Very Happy
BradleyJohnson	Posted - 2010.06.21 08:05:00 - [16] Edited by: BradleyJohnson on 21/06/2010 08:07:35 Edited by: BradleyJohnson on 21/06/2010 08:07:09 I found everyone most entertaining! Well done guys, you made my weekend thoroughly enjoyable. Kil2 / Angel Hun was the clincher for me... great commentary. uncle Soundwave you crack me up!
Piitbull	Posted - 2010.06.21 09:02:00 - [17] Originally by: Ikoras Edited by: Ikoras on 20/06/2010 22:54:36 Kil2 You are an Idiot Angelhun great knowledge of History not so good with on the spot calling, We never fielded artis nor ecm drones Darius Johnson No comment Brianna Please do not try to return Verone Veteran Commentator, On the spot for most of it Like to see any of you chumps in this thread do better... They all did a good job and i think there humor is quite entertaining..
Ruiner Drudge	Posted - 2010.06.21 11:19:00 - [18] Kil2 - Goes without saying, awesome. Verone - Very good. Angelhun - No problem with Angel. Darius - I absolutely hated his commentary at first, but he really began to grow on me. I like Darius' commentary a lot now, he's quite likeable and funny. Brianna - Not a fan. Would prefer someone with more knowledge.
Balkor Wolf Gallente EVE Kredit Bank	Posted - 2010.06.21 11:24:00 - [19] Your all wrong... Tournament Cat 'nuff said
Derelicht	Posted - 2010.06.21 11:32:00 - [20] Edited by: Derelicht on 21/06/2010 11:32:42 Originally by: Eulalinda Which commentator had the British accent, Verone or Darius Johnson? Would be nice if the commentators would introduce themselves at least every few matches. Verone - the one in the comedy hat, to hide premature baldness, probably

Pesky LaRue Minmatar Brotherhood Of Fallen Angels	Posted - 2010.06.21 16:20:00 - [21] Originally by: Ikoras Kil2 You are an Idiot I wouldn't say he's an idiot but he's not the most insightful or engaging commentator. Might be better when he hits puberty and his voice stops wavering so much. Quote: Angelhun great knowledge of History not so good with on the spot calling, We never fielded artis nor ecm drones I thought he did pretty well although I would agree that he wasn't as deft with instant comments as I would have liked or befits a live tournament. Quote: Darius Johnson No comment 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." Quote: Brianna Please do not try to return Sadly, I agree. Didn't seem to have a really good working knowledge of the game, made some David Colemanesque blunders and really didn't bring much to the tournament on any front. Quote: Verone Veteran Commentator, On the spot for most of it Couldn't agree more. Verone is excellent in just about every respect. Except the hat. I thought Claw was an excellent guest-commentator, would like to see more from him in future. I'm hoping that, even if he needs to quit each year, Verone will continue to commentate for all the tourney's to come. . [Brotherhood Of Fallen Angels]
Romale Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2010.06.21 16:27:00 - [22] brianna's lack of knowledge was awesome, and angelhuns voice made me want to bash my face in with a hammer until i was stupid. luckily for me that wouldn't' take very long.
So Sensational GREY COUNCIL Gentlemen's Club	Posted - 2010.06.21 16:42:00 - [23] Edited by: So Sensational on 21/06/2010 16:46:44 Originally by: BlackHelmetMan Originally by: Saikron Brianna speaks English perfectly, and it's not her fault she was picked. Yes, lets her absolve her of all responsibility for APPLYING and in turn being **. When she commentated she was clueless. When she was on the panel, she was vapid and clueless. This. You could have a ** (Mentally inadequate) commentating, sure it's not his fault he's **ed (Mentally inadequate) and can't perform as well as the other commentators because of it, he's still ing **ed (Mentally inadequate) though. With that being said I think the hate for Brianna is a bit exaggerated, she wasn't THAT bad in comparison to the others. p.s Kil2 + Darius Johnson = best team ever. Who cares if Kil2 is biased or "arrogant" (Because letting us know that stupid mistakes are stupid must make him an *****), he was still the best expert of all the experts there. Darius is my favorite though, please come back next year.
Master Technique Club Bear HYDRA RELOADED	Posted - 2010.06.21 16:49:00 - [24] Kil2 for president AngelHUN knows enough, could liven up a bit though (maybe it was just a perpetual hangover?) Darius JOHNSON was kind of sad the first weekend, better the second weekend, and by TV weekend clearly had gotten so comfortable he almost talked to much, lol. But seriously, DJ in the studio talking about behind the scenes GS stuff and spouting philosophy on the game was imo a really cool addition. "We practiced about 21 hours a day"...gold. Verone is a staple, I don't mind listening to him. He obviously has a super extensive background with the game and once in a while pulls out cool facts thanks to that. Brianna.../sigh. I had high hopes and did not hold any bias against you going into the final weekend because radio weekends can anyone sound clueless, but like most have said, not sure if your overall knowledge of small gang pvp was adequate.
Bruno Bourque	Posted - 2010.06.21 17:01:00 - [25] Darius suits the studio more than the live commentating... no offence, but he gets distracted a little easy. But he is great fun to watch in the studio where he drifts off "Whose in the next match again?" Kil2 and Verone make a good team for the Live action stuffs. And Brianna needs to just relax a bit and think before making some of the comments. Last weekend tbh, I had no problems with her. Well done to all, and thanks for making it another fantastic Tourney
Nicholas Barker Black Nova Corp IT Alliance	Posted - 2010.06.21 17:08:00 - [26] Kil2 didn't watch enough to know who this is Angelhun didn't watch enough to know who this is Darius Johnson Clever and witty, good watch. Brianna didn't watch enough to know who this is Verone Knows tactics a bit, but generally sucks off CCP, and whoever won, then ends every 2nd sentence with "in my opinion." I tended to mute it every time he spoke. ------ 0800-LAG-A-NODE
w33d wizard420	Posted - 2010.06.21 18:20:00 - [27] Kil2 was the only good commentator.
Saikron	Posted - 2010.06.21 19:29:00 - [28] Originally by: BlackHelmetMan Yes, lets her absolve her of all responsibility for APPLYING and in turn being ****. I explicitly said it wasn't her fault she was picked. Everybody who has ever hired people has to sift through applicants after clerical jobs when they can't read or physically demanding jobs when they can't lift over 10 lbs. It's pretty much a given that you are going to get people who aren't qualified, but CCP is supposed to be able to pick people that don't suck.
Alsyth Night Warder	Posted - 2010.06.21 19:38:00 - [29] Kil2 Will you marry me ? Great strategic analysis, pay attention to drones, ewar, placement and guns -very important imho-. A little too much focused on that things sometimes. Angelhun Cool :) Pleasant to listen, but not as much analysis as kil2, sadly. Darius Johnson Funny :) Almost useless at the start, he got more and more interesting as time passed. Not very "useful" in the end, but quite entertaining. Brianna Trying her best. But that's not enough... Yet. Some out of place comments that weren't even funny. Verone Nice job. Not as good as Kil2 when it comes to analysis of a match in my opinion, but very valuable comments.
Memorya	Posted - 2010.06.21 21:14:00 - [30] Kil2 You lad need to grow up, but in general "ok". Angelhun Owerall ok. Darius Johnson No comment - Insane low IQ, sry i had to say it... Brianna It seems she was scared on the times what she wanted to say. But hey... thats how it is. Next time come prepared. Verone Hes ok. ------------------------ "English is a funny language; that explains why we park our car on the driveway and drive our car on the parkway." English is my 5th. Language.
