As a general critique, he seems very unprepared for the matches that follow. In KSL that is ongoing, he called mini "the blue player" and stork the "red player" every game in the series. Furthermore, he frequently demonstrates acts of naivety, as he suggests the possibility of a "cannon rush" in Brood War. This has never been a thing and never will be. RapiD even calls him out and says that this is a Brood War game and that his SC2 suggestions have no place in here.



He often compares the games to sc2, relying on a game he actually has experience about (even if it is mediocre). This is detrimental to the overall wellbeing of the brood war community, as we now have to sit through less than adequate casts from someone who knows next to nothing about the game and it's meta etc.



At least Artosis and Tasteless ladder frequently so they are able to talk about the way games will probably go. RapiD is a good caster though so fortunately he is there to save the day.



Jake if you are reading this please at least do an hour of research the night before you cast games so you can better prepare yourself for commentary. As it stands, it is simply a burden to listen to you and I mean that in the nicest way possible. Thank you in advance if you read this, I understand you are trying to make a career out of SC2 but at least surrender your job to someone who is capable of adequate commentary if you cannot perform. If you plan to improve, then great. Because me and a lot of people hope you do.



Mods, I tried to be constructive.

He does not actually mean it, you either need to play along his style of humor or have your own to lead it. Poor guy Rapid was trying his best to make it fun and you just kept trying to shut him down, made it so awkward.



Spend sometime offline to get to know him and develop some chemistry.



Not saying Rapid was perfect but he has been improving rapidly and his passion for the game and the scene is clear as day.

I am mostly honored by your response and am glad that we are attempting to reach a middleground.



However I stand by absolutely everything I said. There is nothing funny about being obviously unprepared for Brood War commentary. And while I do not necessarily dispute that he is a nice person, I do believe that this is irrelevant? Would I want the holy Jorge Mario Bergoglio casting Brood War? No of course not. I hope this analogy makes you better understand where I am coming from.

It's embarrassing to have him in Korea for so long and he doesn't even try to learn BW basics.

Really?

I wonder what is the definition of Ok.

Because people who have a clue about bw can say what is not ok. Really?I wonder what is the definition of Ok.Because people who have a clue about bw can say what is not ok. Leader of the Bulgarian National SCBW/SC2 team and team pSi.SCBW/SC2

broodwar4ev Profile Joined October 2019 Germany 5 Posts Last Edited: 2019-11-01 07:27:10 #9 Yesterday i had some not so nice things to say of jake in the ksl thread. I muted and subsequently stopped watching because of him. he'd been annoying me for a while but i was hoping i just was having a bad day and it rubbed me wrong. tried to finish my watch today, and god i just cant stand listening to him talk. he acts like a 16 year old kid with his 'memes' and fights rapid and calls everything wrong and i just can't bare to watch any more starcraft with him involved. please remove him. at the very least because rapid deserves better, hes improved so much and deserves a good co cast. he isn't professional, he isn't funny, he doesn't understand the game, and he his synergy is zero with any co cast ive ever seen him paired. he isn't talented at either game nor casting, he simply lives in korea and that should not be enough qualifier to have people this subpar represent either game.



i would be willing to give him a more chance if he were to seriously try to learn the game and stop fighting and making meme jokes and learning how to have a cast flow which he is horible at now, but i do not ever see this becoming true.

baiesradu Profile Blog Joined June 2012 Romania 147 Posts #10 I have the same complaints. When he is casting I am not watching anymore.

It may be a matter of taste but what I can't accept is the lack of professionalism displayed .



I personally I am convinced he has this gig because of personal connections.

Valdez would make a much more appropriate replacement .



I think this is in part due to the fact that ASL doesn't really care too much about the non Korean viewers.



I think I've said this here before , when he is used for me it dilutes the GSL brand.



But it's their brand and in all honesty I am not paying for their content even though i would be interested to support

them so they can do whatever they want of course.



I have issues with the WCS casting and format and I think maybe this is the last Blizzcon I will try to watch.

If I have to keep muting the commentators because they cross the line to annoying it's more constructive for me

to find something else to watch.

Everybody wins !



I love Starcraft .

I would be sort of okay if this was his 1st or 2nd BW cast, but it's not... To tell you the truth if it was me I would have prepared for my 1st BW cast as much as I can. Or an SC2 cast for that matter, even though I have no clue about the game. Or I wouldn't have accepted the job.



This is like at a sports TV someone has to replace another caster for a sport he doesn't really know (seen a couple of times but that's it) and wouldn't even understand the basic rules. That person would be fired or most likely wouldn't get to sit in the first place because didn't prepare and they would test him first.



It is not that hard to get a lesson in korea about Starcraft. It would take like 1-2 days* and some commitment and you are good to go. We don't expect him to be at Artosis level but please at least know the "basic rules of the sport".



(In all honesty he is still "better" than Cadenzie , but I don't want to go into that )



* okay, maybe 5 days... What a perfect "metaphor" with Jake! I totally agree with what you said. I know a couple of people who switched to korean cast because of him, I did as well (when I'm fed up).I would be sort of okay if this was his 1st or 2nd BW cast, but it's not...

I guess it's a matter of opinion. I'm still enjoying the cast. Yer I prefer Tastosis but I Noregrets casting isn't affecting my enjoyment of the games at all. chill I guess it's a matter of opinion.

-Kaiser- Profile Blog Joined November 2011 Canada 923 Posts Last Edited: 2019-11-01 08:18:11 #14 Not trying to get on the bandwagon, but... He needs to start taking his casts seriously or get off the stage so somebody else can.



It's been low-effort, low-knowledge, low-synergy and poor professionalism for a long time now and he seems to have no interest in developing his skills. His SC2 casts have knowledge, but the rest holds. Every cast with NoRegret feels like he couldn't care less that he's on camera doing a show. He just has an uncomfortably bad conversation with his co-casters while they try to do their jobs.



It's a damn shame we lost the bald guy and NoRegret is still getting all this air time.



I don't like hating on somebody who's putting themselves out there and doing the best they can, but it's obvious that he really isn't. Tooth and Tail is ZvZ for the rest of us.

Piste Profile Blog Joined July 2006 5961 Posts #15 I think he is doing very good considering he has not got that strong bw background. I do not mind comparisons to SC2, since many SC2 players watch BW as well and some of that knowledge carries to bw pretty well. Thank you Noregret

If it was for a month or two - fair enough...

But for so long - he is bad and it is undeniable. If it was for a month or two - fair enough...But for so long - he is bad and it is undeniable. Leader of the Bulgarian National SCBW/SC2 team and team pSi.SCBW/SC2

A.Alm Profile Joined September 2012 Sweden 413 Posts #17 I agree. He needs to be more prepared and co-operate with his co-host. I feel he cares more about being right than putting on a good show. This combined with his lack of SCBW skills & passion gets really annoying.

i agree as much as i dislike and dont want him in any content i watch, this is not personal and should not be insulting his appearance or otherwise. i just dont think he's the correct man for the job and want someone better. can criticize his skills all day but has nothing to do the personal things i agree as much as i dislike and dont want him in any content i watch, this is not personal and should not be insulting his appearance or otherwise. i just dont think he's the correct man for the job and want someone better. can criticize his skills all day but has nothing to do the personal things

Also, I never fail to miss a Noregret cast. But, this account and post is to select, mark and bully someone.

Our complaint with his casting should be in kinder constructive terms, or directly with his employer.



This is an attempt to whirl a mob against someone.



(I think the post is bullshit, because if this guy knew anything about bw, him claiming, "Tasteless ladders" stripped his credibility. No Sir, Tasteless has not been a ladder player for a very, very long time.



Pitch Forking against someone is dangerous, one day the pitch forks could be aimed at you.



Noregret is a dodgable caster though. I always choose Korean over him.
