WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE

the caster, like i never understood what are they doing wrong cause i dont notice it

starting to notice the awkward silence between them

bad reactions, not really providing enough entertainment as the other casters imo

One guy is good, the other one with the deeper voice isnt. I think balla?

they're fine, not bad but not the best

they casting in library

we compare them with the CS casters and they're just better

thats the problem, u're not noticing it, if they remove them its the same, caster are t here to give more hype, they're residentsleeper

It just doesn't sound good compared to many other caster duos or even other Valorant caster duos where the competition isn't even that high. Like compare these to CSGO Major casters who are so hype on average. Every duo. But here its Major event and pretty mid casting IMO. But its just my opinion and no hate towards these guys.

watch some League of legends tournaments or watch some CSGO tournaments or even just watch the KR or JP valorant tournaments and you'll see what they're doing wrong

Honestly Doug and balla kinda not as hype as the other casters. Also NA bias I feel like.

ballas probably more suited to be an analyst rather than a casetr

the "one guy" you mention literally squeals for anything. gotta mix in highs and lows.

exactly. just like cs players are better. valorant took the tier 2 players from other games, and they took the tier 2 casters/production/coaches as well. nothing bad about that necessarily, good to see them get a chance to improve.

they're already too hype, good lord. i'd hate to hear anyone that yells more than the play by play guy (doug?). balla is ok as a color caster

agreed

They're really not. They cast like sleeper most of the time. Idk why then they randomly get hype. The only time their casting is ok is when it's NA team. But they have pretty clear bias.

Typically in casting/commentating, you have a play-by-play and an analyst; Doug is the play-by-play, Balla is the analyst (within the casting duo).

What is about kids these days where they just want shouting and screaming reactions for entertainment? Collectively as a species our intelligence is definitely dwindling, lol.

man get off your fuckin high horse. "our intelligence is definitely dwindling" just accept people have preferences

It's not an awkward silence, it's called "dead air" and is a casting technique used by most. its mainly to give the audience a chance to think instead of bombarding them with constant commentary and opinions. quality over quantity, you don't need to hype everything.

Typical and expected anti-American unlucky

not sure what this means, but...

there are hundreds of EU teams still competing in CS. they even have all Spanish, all German teams (etc) over there. Meanwhile, there are only 3 NA teams left in CS.

All the remaining talent from NA went to Val. The EU players in Val were bottom-of-the-barrel in CS, so they should be commended for being so competitive.

im saying that the players from NA that came over to Valorant were Tier 1 (only in NA though)
