Well I just saw EddZ comment in IRC that people should express thier opinions on the guests on forums etc so here is a thread to do it :)
Spiral - Great host in my opinion, very smooth and a good sense of humour. Stavros - Glad to see he has got a little more serious and yet hes still funny, liked him a lot more this time than in previous tournaments. EddZ - Think he has been great, real passion, and he is very funny. Would like to see him back next time. Verone - Like him a lot, but sometimes miss what he says as his accent is pretty thick. Steihl - A bit too serious at times, but seems very knowledgable. NinjaTurtle - Pretty good, a good replacement for Trevidian as the token surfer dude type Stoffer Pirate - Think he has been very strong, really enjoyed him. Calmdown - Much better knowledge than I expected, really seems to know his stuff, a good addition to the team.
Tyrrax - Mumbled and was pretty rubbish. Raem - He's awful so far Solar - Seemed a bit out of his depth especially with the experts, but gave it his best shot, liked him for that.

On the whole, I agree with you. This has been a very good combination of commentators, at least on the surface to the viewer.
Spiral - Able to combine professionalism and lulz pretty well most of the time . Stavros - Knowledgeable about the tourney, on the whole good, though he does get a bit*****y at times. Eddz - Passion, but it goes a bit overboard at time. That being said, I'd rather have him than someone that doesn't care. Verone - Used to not like him, but he's redeemed himself and then some. Good commentator. Stiehl - Newbie needs to learn his drone types , but he's done very well so far. I'm biased though, of course. Ninja - Very good, able to commentate very well. Stoffer - Hilarious, great representative for the swarm, and I'm someone that's not that Goon-friendly. Calmdown - Able to represent his opinion well and take the fire that comes with being a commentator, handled it well on the whole.

LOL, maybe he should ban more people because he is a noob that accuses people of login traps but doesn't realize there is a gate right next to the one he is camping.
I bet that helped on his app to become an expert LOLLOLOLOOLOLOLOLL.

Tyrrax = appearance was hilarious, but was meh. Raem = Worst. Commentator. Ever. Solar = I liked him, just a bit nervous, would watch again. ------

Spiral - Doing a great job, keeps things moving never faulters and keeps the show running Verone - Doing a brill job, again answers for most things, alot of input in discussions Stavros - Doing alright ;) EddZ - Yea great, again keeps the chat going talks about a bit about everything. Very interesting during big discussions NinjaTurtle - Doing a good job Stoffer Pirate - Best so far. Always something to talk about during the battle and is good at discussions and has alot of input Calmdown - Another who is doing a good job Tyrrax - Fail Raem - Why is he there?

Edited by: Pulsar Solaris on 08/03/2008 20:14:10 Spiral - Meh, as long as he shaves, he's not terrible. Could be a lot worse. At least he has a sense of humor.
Stavros - Also fine. Middle of the road.
EddZ - Needs to calm the hell down but he's fine when he's serious.
Verone - Like him a lot. Two thumbs up. Actually, my favorite.
Steihl - I like that he can joke around a bit but still gives serious answers. 8/10
NinjaTurtle - Does a pretty good job of calling matches. Perfectly fine guy.
Stoffer - Gets on my nerves every once in a bit but is a prety knowledgable guy. Respect.
Calmdown - Acts like you're a moron if you don't agree with him. Rarely has anything good to say about anything. Whines, complains and acts like an ass 90% of the time. Acts like he could make any setup 50 times better and is generally condescending. However, all that being said, still can take it as much as he gives it. Respect for backing it up. Pretty knowledgable as well.
Tyrrax - Mumbles, acts like he's stoned, needs to shave. Makes a terrible presentation and is only an expert in fail setups.
Raem - GTFO. Now. Seriously. Miserable person, pitches a fit and pouts when IAC fails. Acts like a general ass. Obviously Spiral doesn't know what to do about him and has tried to get him to speak but he's perfectly ok with being an emo crybaby. Get him off. Bring back Hilmar's daughter before you bring him back. Miserable human being.

Most of them are great, but couple bad ones have been on so far in my opinion:
Hilmar Petursson had no clue what's going on in tournament Oveur had pretty much same problem, but he's a bit more colorful person so not that bad. That one kid who sat next to Spiral, didn't have that much anything to say at any point.
More ifni and jamesW please, can't really remember their fancy GM nicks tho. =)

Spiral - Excellent job, is fun to watch. Good mixture between joking and giving some useful thoughts.
Stavros - Less talking, more thinking is necessary.
EddZ - Needs to let other people talk also. Likes to much listening himself talking.
Verone - Good knowledge and analysis.
Stoffer Pirate - Internet spaceships are serious business!
Calmdown - Much better knowledge than I expected, really seems to know his stuff, a good addition to the team.
Tyrrax - Nice hat! But did say that much.
CCP guests - Except from GM Nova they didn't say much and I am bit disappointed that we didn't hear more from them about various things.
StevieSG - More from her :-)

Spiral - Don't mind the guy at all. He's kinda growing on most people I know. Eddz - Not bad at all. Love the way he gets so excited about his alliance ;) Calmdown - A bit of an idiot. Seems to like his own setups, and puts anything else down. Way too opinionated, and loves the sound of his own voice... Meh :(
The rest are all cool enough :)

Spiral - Don't like him but he seems to do the job.
Stavros - Good guy. Accent is a bit strong - luckily I can understand it.
EddZ - Good passion, seems to know what he's talking about (I was paid to say this as he is my CEO).
Verone - Knowledgeable, not overly personable.
Steihl - I couldn't figure out which one this was.
NinjaTurtle - Not sure which he was.
Stoffer Pirate - He's a goon. Kick him out and don't bring him back.
Calmdown - Bit of an arsehead. Skip him next time.
Tyrrax - Was either stoned or drunk, or both. Either way, he shouldn't be back.
Raem - Awful. "I was far away". Yeah, hopefully he stays far away next year.

Edited by: QwaarJet on 08/03/2008 21:09:43 Spiral - Great host, and MM fan. Stavros - Thankfully has been more reserved, and is actually a pretty decent commentator. EddZ - Passion is good, he clearly loves the tourney a smuch as I do, although sometimes it goes a bit too far. Verone - Ok. Steihl - Not bad, although tends to rag on teams without knowing the full story sometimes. NinjaTurtle - Pretty decent. Stoffer Pirate - Tears every team apart including his own.....comes acress as the most knowledgeable of the new guys. Calmdown - Generally conducts himself in a good manner and takes criticism on the chin. Knows his stuff usually.
Tyrrax - Great pilot and great entertainment, but not the best on the chair. Raem - Pure entertainment, better than having random CCP guy, and knows more about the tournament then anyone else by a long shot. Solar - Terrible.

Spiral - Funny guy and easy going. Very good host. Stavros - Seems to know what he's talking about. Very solid commentating and wuite funny too. EddZ - Knows alot about combat and combined with a good enthusiasm he's very interesting to listen to. Verone - Also a good commentator. Down to earth and realistic view of Eve-combat. Steihl - Not sure who this is. If it's the guy who sat next to calmdown on the last session of the fifth day he's doing allright. NinjaTurtle - Good commentator indeed. Stoffer Pirate - Didn't care much for him in the beginning but now i find him very funny and does solid commentating.... despite being a goon. Calmdown - Immense knowledge about the game and very good analytic abilities if not the best.
Tyrrax - Mumbled too much. Wierd. Raem - Horrible. Wierd. Solar - haven't seen him.

Spiral - clean yourself up man, you represent us all. being the "anchorman" you set the tone and the atmosphere. encourage less smack from your guests and put more emotion in your discussions. KIA - my favorite of all of em, enjoyed his enthusiasm and commentation Verone - couldn't understand half of what you said, im sorry Stavros - your ego gets in the way of me liking you, tone it down and speak more clearly because it hinders your real knowledge and ability to be good at this, you have potential
I look forward to the Tournament every year and enjoy every bit of it. Please understand that i appreciate all the work everyone has done on and off camera to make it happen. I have two major suggestions for all to remember next tournament. 1. Enunciation. Listening to the commentators and the guests is what makes the educational side of the tournament most interesting. You get to hear what others would do with certain strategies etc. It is most frustrating when you miss a major point being made due to poor enunciation. This goes hand in hand with suggestion 2. 2. Volume. Many times when during the tournament, between matches, when setups are being analyzed or praised, it was difficult to catch the end of statements made by almost everyone involved because they lessened volume as they spoke. They would start out strong and end up in a mumble of little sound.
Once again, thank you for a great tournament.

Clearly I'm going to be biased so I'm just going to give mad props to everyone who has appeared on the show, it does take balls to put yourself as a person out there in front of the community and strip away your avatar.
<3 Calmdown and please spiral and stavros no french kissing him if you are ill.
No wonder you're late. Why, this watch is exactly two days slow.

Spiral - doubt the tournament would be the same without him. Good sense of humour, holds the show together well Stavros - seems to have chilled a bit, funny guy Eddz - can be a great commentator, but tends to talk over people as if they weren't there Verone - great commentator Steihl - he was ok NinjaTurtle - got better as the tournament went on, seemed to gain confidence StofferNinjaPirate - probably the best new guy, hopefully he'll be on more tournaments Calmdown - was also surprised by his level of knowledge - has strong opinions which is good Stevie - she was good, but needs to have more participation... the tournament needs more females tbh, bring angel back!
Tyrrax/Raem - Complete fail, both looked uninterested and had nothing to offer... there was *no* need to drop the 'c' word either, totally vulgar Solar - thought he did good CCP staff - apart from Nova they knew surprisingly little about their own competition
Altogether it's been great to watch, would watch again

Spiral: On the face of things his job seems easy, but in reality he is the glue that holds it all together. 8/10 Stavros: Knows what he is talking about but has a personality that grates on me. Sometimes I laugh at his jokes, somtimes I want to slap him 6/10 EddZ: Funny to watch him squirm, even funnier to watch the rest of the panal rip the ****. GF kia btw. 6/10 Verone: Doing a fantastic job, better hats than tyraxx 9/10 Stiehl: Which one was he? NinjaTurtle: If he is the american/canadian guy from SF then this guy gets 9/10 Stoffer Pirate: It's a Goon. but somehow he makes sense and I dont want to punch him 8/10 Calmdown: I like northerners + he makes sense 8/10 Tyrrax: pink trilby + ponytail to make trilby fit badly + mumbling + blaster MOA = fail. 3/10 (would have been lower but Raem managed to lower the standards further) Raem: At one point he admited that he hadent even watched any/many of the matches. ITS DAY 5! didnt have an opinion on anything not involving IAC acted like a child. Stevie: Could do with knowing a bit more about PVP, but seriously. Where are you going to find someone hotter that knows more?

Most all the commentators are good and have their own way of seeing stuff and what they bring to the show.
Raem - is the biggest idiot/ childish kid i have ever seen tho, if you guys want to keep the people watching getting rid of him would be a very good start.

The love fest here is very nice but there are some definite areas of improvement that need to be pointed out. Honestly, it is about time EVE TV steps up and actually provides some objective commentary. It is a sad statement that in a game that has at times over 40,000 people logged in at once all you can find for guests and commentators are former players with overgrown egos who no longer really play the game, those who are actually playing in the matches and have to remind us with massive bias how awesome their alliances are every chance they get, and the occasional GM that needs to be shaken from sleep to give one word answers to questions. Oh, and let me not forget the very scary; ôvideo game pimpö that has been the true highlight of the guest panel and a shoe in for the next episode of, ôTo Catch a Predatorö.
Spiral you are a good host but if CCP is paying you then you defiantly need to keep these guests in line and give us some decent objective commentary. I am not sure if you are still new, or scared, but you need to get in your guest faces because too much time is wasted by guests when a solid conversation comes up being driven back to reminding all of us how uber there alliance is and the wins and faults of their game rather then providing actual insight. I know this is video game spaceships, but in any sport you never have players that are actually involved in the ongoing tournament as guests on panels and commentating for direct competitors matches. It brings massive bias into the broadcast and takes entirely away from the quality conversations.
I know this is harsh but this is the 5th tourney and it is time to start stepping up. I am sure you have done this before but it is time to go back and research/review how sports commentators go through the motions of their broadcasts and how sports panels are conducted via host and guests so you can get a much better understanding of how to put together a solid non-bias broadcast team/panel, and in turn create a much greater depth to your commentary and the quality of Eve TV.

Spiral - As usual boring and biased and adds almost nothing knowledge based except light smack or dumb propaganda. Less TT brown nosing next time.
Stavros - Why do we need to listen to someone who doesn't even play anymore ?
Verone - Cool got no problems with him so far and is quite entertaining.
Stoffer - Less smack needed but good knowledge so far.
Calmdown - Again another person who doesn't play and acts like a total ass.
Eddz - Needs to cool it for sure but so far his commentary during the matches is excellent.
Ninja Turtle - Very nice commentary during matches just like eddz.
Tyrax - A clown in both appearance and commentary, like never again plz.
Actually i would like to see Trev back instead some of the really unwanted ppl from that list the guy knows his stuff and is great.

You know, random thought here.
If people are so dissatisfied with the commentary this time, apply. Give them a huge pool to choose from.
The non-CCP guests, that being said, on the whole weren't great. Even Tyrrax was better than Raem .

Spiral - Great presenter, knowledgeable and talks about stuff you actually want to hear. 9/10
Stavros - Funny at first, now borderline annoying. Thinks hes alot funnier than he actually is and as he doesnt play the game anymore, lets have him replaced please. 3/10
Verone - Hated him last year but this year hes upped his game. Knowledgeable, good commentary and keeps on topic. Should return in the future. 9/10
Stoffer - Not bad, good knowledge but a little arrogant at times. 6/10
Calmdown - Always has to be right. Thinks he knows more about teams setups than the actual team does. Too fast to shoot comments from other experts down. Seems to moan and whine alot about setups, when its blatently obvious why team A fielded a certain setup etc. Misses the point big time. PURE FAIL lets not have him back please 1/10
Eddz - Not bad at all. Puts views across well and if something was bad about a setup he explains why it was so bad, or why it didnt work etc. Much better in the studio than commentating though. 7/10
Ninja Turtle - Havent seen him enough in the studio but great commentary when paired with Verone. 7/10
Tyrax - The moron who is currently the laughing stock of EVE (and thats not because he wore a pink hat) had nothing at all constructive to say. Blatently thought he was too good for EveTV and obviously confuses real life with a computer game. He probably lives in his parents basement thats been converted to a spare room. EPIC FAIL 0/10

Probably forgetting half of them here...
Tom, i mean Spiral, does the job of presenting well i think, but is way too biased. see the harry enfield Chris Evens sketch 'have an opinion, have an opinion!'
Stevie, expected to see more of them :(
Stavros, Makes me laugh but his commentary is sometimes oddly off
Calmdown, seems vry srs.
Eddz, 100 isk to anyone that gets a photo of him with a bed head. like him though.
Stofferpirate, will hopefully be back next year?
Verone, looks way older than he is but perhaps my all round favourite of the commentator/experts.
Raem, random filler person :P
NinjaTurtle, good stuff d00d
Tyrrax, was either aloof or very shy, hard to tell, but never said much anyhow.
dysfunctional props to all though for bothering :)
