I'd say this years commentators have done a great job. I especially enjoyed the replay showing how bumping the Loki out of range was used to turn the tide of the battle. The reverse time dilation overtime in the Noir. v Scum. fight was awesome too.

It is nice to see how far the tournament broadcast has evolved over the years.

Good job CCP!

Thanks. Sometimes I have a habit of getting bogged down in tournament lexicon, so if you have any questions or anything feel free to ask and we'll do our best to explain things a bit better.

To be fair to Fozzie, it's incredibly difficult to not walk all over each other when you're not actually in the same room and can't see each other to take cues from one another. Fozzie has more information in front of him because he has the actual tournament UI and live stream (the actual stream that we can watch is on a 15 or so second delay, so we're relying on what we can see with our clients--meaning ewar effects rather than icons, having to manually look at rep drones to see who is getting reps, etc, all of which gets very confusing in the melee of 12 vs 12 with full flights of drones from every ship), so I think we default to him on a lot of the stuff just because of that. He is also extremely well-versed on the teams and history of the teams, so he's constantly giving out information that we may not have thought of. For instance, during my own alliance's match, they deployed a heavy cap warfare setup, and Fozzie correctly identified it as a very "Rote Kapelle' setup--in other words something Rote Kapelle has brought numerous times in the past. It wouldn't have even crossed my mind to point that sort of thing out, in part because my memory blurs when it comes to the dozens of past matches I've watched/flown in/commentated, to the point where I have a notepad in front of me with bullet points on the teams (when I can find any info on them anyway).

In any case, we're all ears to feedback, just keep it constructive!

Thanks for the compliments as well! As with Elise, happy to answer questions

Gf was watching our match as well and she really appreciated the commentators, and the Orchestra thing before our game. She however thoguht the Music video was a lil "lame". :P
