David 'GoDZ' Parker hat GosuGamers ein Interview gegeben. Finde vor allem interessant, was er zur Qualität der Videostreams sagt. Die Produktionen aus SC2 sind da für ihn größtes Vorbild. Was denkt ihr, was TobiWan, Ayesee, Purge, GoDZ und Co. vor allen anderen Dingen verbessern müssen?
Das komplette Interview: GoDZ: "SC2 setzt die Messlatte für Dota 2-Casts"...
What other games in eSport are you following?
I followed Starcraft 2 a lot, I’ve been following most of the big tournaments in the GSL as well as various LAN tournaments and despite having ever played a single match in Starcraft 2, I mean I bought the game, I played maybe about a quarter of the campaign. I enjoyed it, but for some reason, I just put it down and went back to Dota, but I still love watching Starcraft 2 and I’ve been watching it for the last year or so. I actually feel like I have a good understanding of the game. Although I would probably be an absolutely dreadful player.
Most likely most Dota players would lack the macro in SC2 a lot. Maybe Chen players would do slightly better.
Well I was a Chen player myself, and I obviously played a lot of Warcraft 3 Melee, before I played Dota, so I do have some skills. I have the micro, but I’m not sure about the macro, because Warcraft 3 has never been that macro based.
What can you and other casters learn from the very successful SC2 casting scene?
I don't know if it’s so much about learning. I mean, definitely, there is a lot to learn, they have to most experienced and professional casters in the business, as well as some of the most entertaining. For me SC2 just sort of sets the bar. They have this production quality which is not being seen in Dota 2, at all. Even at LAN events, even at those live coverage at Dreamhack, the previous Star Ladder tournament, the production quality just was nothing at all comparable to what you are seeing at the Starcraft 2 events. So for me, that is probably the biggest thing, Dota has to improve upon. Not to mention as a caster there is a lot to learn. The whole mechanics of having two different casters on the same match, coordinating back and forth, not talking over each other, you can almost see and have this goal of what you can aim towards to get as good as it gets or even better.
