i love him for this

Xyclopz is pretty much a late night DJ who suddenly got promoted to prime time. Before, you loved him or hated him but could easily avoid him. Last night, he was thrust into the spotlight and shrank from it. I feel for him, but ultimately it's on him and BTS to either improve the quality of the product, or put him back on graveyard shift SEA games where he and his audience are most comfortable.

It is kind of messy that xyclopz is casting whats a rather big match in a rather big tournament.

Xyclopz isn't even hard to understand, why do people gotta hate on my man like that. I didn't watch last night so maybe it was a bad day for him but dude usually knows well enough what he's talking about and is really clever, anyone who complains about his casting is a fun hating bore

He was dual casting with Blaze for at least one game, and, while I normally like both Xyclopz and Blaze, that just didn't work.

I guess most of the pros already in TI would rather be bootcamping, huh? I like some of those people but I'll miss the pro casts. And they better stream Mario Party.

Shame the old EU hub likely won't be matched again. No Bruno, no kittens, no late night stuff, much less pros.

Also watching that prediction thing on JoinDota I think Tobi said Valve wasn't putting money into the hub this year so Twitch picked up the slack. Cmon Valve.

Also I've never heard him talk about how sexy a hero is or how he'd like to sleep with one during a cast so that puts him in the top tier already.

I know Weppas or skrff have to sometimes solo observe every game at major LANs in 12 hour days because there is only one observer for each language at some events. They really don't get the recognition they deserve compared to the casters.
