I actually don't work full time as a DOTA caster. In fact I actually work in retail selling games (wanted to have a job that relates to my hobby). Shoutcasting is something that is done in my spare time....and any other time i can make for it QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Apr 13 2009, 09:26 PM)
For those who is still blur, the commentators are professional commentators from ESPN Australia who stream e-games from their website
Nope....we are all volunters, we are from a group called gamestah ( www.gamestah.com), we all put our time an effort in to entertaining and supporting the E-sports community ----Thanks James for pointing that out BTW....going through this massive thread atm QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Apr 13 2009, 09:58 PM)
id much rather have the WoW commentators from the recent tournaments 
these guys totally left out people that arent familiar with war3/dota. (not that im not familiar with it)
you basically need to know the game pretty decently to know wtf they saying as they arent explaining the terms/abbreviations at all during "low" moments when people are creeping lol.
We actually invited people to commentate with us...we only had one person show up to do so, and he did not return after the first day. I did try and do DOTA basics for people listening, the "DOTA 1o1" That was done at the start of most matches was to help cover that. Unfortunately there is so much that goes into a DOTA match that if I tried to explain everything in great detail that everyone would understand, I would need longer than the match would run. In the end, I shoutcast for DOTA players and try and help educate people who do not know about the game when I can.these guys totally left out people that arent familiar with war3/dota. (not that im not familiar with it)

We are of course trying to perfect the art of shoutcasting DOTA so thankyou very much for your words and we will see how we can modify the way we cast to allow for a different type of listeners.
