I don't think the invited casters need to be discussed. It is always very hard to decide on just 3 or 4. And I think a 9-day, 10-player event with some players who are good co-casters does not even need 4 casters.
What would be nice is if we now have 3-4 big LAN events per year, if at least one of the casters would be different each time, to also give some a new opportunity to prove themselves.
he hasn't been for about half a year or so.You know very well that Nili is always going to be there just because he is the tournament coordinator
shadow government always remains in placehe hasn't been for about half a year or so.
you are alowed to invite whoever you want to your own private party for what ever reason you like.... or do you also invite the whole classroom or all your collegues to your housewarming party?...Memb's english is good, he was invited as a caster to the biggest and most professional Aoe2 LAN events ever (RedBull V and RedBull legacy). Do you really think that would happen if his english was a problem?
He already said in his channel that Nili told him why he is not invited to NAC and that its for personal reasons and nothing professional.
Imo Memb is the best caster of Aoe2 (at least he is at the very top, most people would agree).
The fact that Dash (who not only is not an Aoe2 caster, but isn't even a caster at all, just a host in LoL) is invited instead of Memb is just a hit in the face of everyone who thinks that casters for major tournaments should be chosen on skill/experience and not on personal preference
strongly disagree tbh.Imo Memb is the best caster of Aoe2 (at least he is at the very top, most people would agree).

How is it questionable if it's his own event? He is not obligated to invite anyone.. Obviously sucks for memb but if I were a host for example, I'd invite people I like/ feel like are going to fit the vibe (not saying that memb isn't, just in general) to my event than otherwise.It's for personal reasons and nothing professional? Did you mean that the other way around? If he was not invited solely because there's a personal disagreement between them, that's a bit questionable.
That example feels more like a professional one rather than a personal one though. Saying that we're looking for a certain style in this event and we have limited casting space so we've decided to go for a different option this time is one thing. It's a whole other thing to say "yeah, I just personally don't want this person to be there, it has nothing to do with professional reasons" is just odd and really unusual for the aoe2 scene.Obviously sucks for memb but if I were a host for example, I'd invite people I like/ feel like are going to fit the vibe (not saying that memb isn't, just in general) to my event than otherwise.
Because this is a "professional" tournament where only the best of the best are selected. Goes for casters as well, its a tough life. Competition is highWhy is Memb not at the tournament? (((
Uhhh I was just going off of what the other guy said who watched Memb's stream. Maybe there was a miscommunication there or something. I don't even really watch Memb, I was more just offering another angle to the discussion where people being blocked from events due to "personal" problems is an unexpected thing to see in the Aoe2 community (if that's actually what happened?)Memb Cultists : "Nili has a pErSoNaL aGenDa against Memb, he never choses him for his events"
Every time 11
Don't deny Memb's unselection with valid reasons. Language is an issue. Repeatedly saying the same words, constantly talking over co-casters, not being able to entertain new viewers from every part of the world (people who don't know aoe or haven't heard a cast before). All these are things Memb can work on. Every caster we see has done it.

I guess you're an anti-memb cultist then? Such an unnecessarly rude post. Prefer the caster you want but keep in mind: On the contrary to Nili and T90 Memb is the one sticking to AoE2 and the Twitch community for ages and whenever he hosts a tournament he tries to include everyone. Something you can't say for Nili & T90 for sure.Memb Cultists : "Nili has a pErSoNaL aGenDa against Memb, he never choses him for his events"

- T90 frequently watches other commentators from different sports to pick up entertainment formulas/phrases to say, the correct build up to hype, voice impersations, etc
- Dave worked on being adaptable over the years by co-casting with multiple people, and can cast with virtually anyone, by far the best phrases, laughs, jokes, etc
- Nili - (perhaps most similar to memb) I watch his earlier YT casts and he struggled with English too, but look at him now. How he has improved not only his vocabulary but also his grammar, observer skills (remember NAC2 when Nili first tried this) like Mapu and Vodka, transitions from one point to another.
(Nothing against Memb) - sorry definitely a lot against MEMB 11111 Instead of improving certain aspects of his casting, he cries. He can watch T90DaveNili to see how they transition from a joke to talking about strategy, how they talk about random things in dark age to entertain while also describe the map, res positions, civ matchup; how they build the hype for a stressful moment - not by screaming BABABOOM TITANIC but by describing what will happen if the boom happens, and what the player will need to do next, be careful for, win conditions, all in the heat of the moment while the players are fighting in different spots. Membstradamus always right 11111 when he says this he loses the entire opportunity to entertain - T90 would present that moment completely differently in a way he would not only sound like he is an expert caster, but also describe 90 other things happening at the same time.
Meanwhile Memb, stuck at 1600 elo for 10 years, rages in BF, blames his team all the time when he did the least work 11, cries daily when he loses to someone (and god forbid if he joined the chat to say thanks for game later in his chat, all the cultists will crucify him as a stream striper instantly 1111)
oh im so sorry..... Memb stuck with aoe2 for ages.... oh my, what did i say, how could i be so rude.... 11111I guess you're an anti-memb cultist then? Such an unnecessarly rude post.

You sound aggrivated mate. It's not the twitch chat here, calm down a bit if you want to discuss properly instead of spamming taunts.oh im so sorry..... Memb stuck with aoe2 for ages.... oh my, what did i say, how could i be so rude.... 11111
Because of your anger, you're posting bs. As already mentioned here, he was invited as one of the main casters in 2 Red Bulls, of which one had the 100k$ and the other one even double of that.Too bad, nobody will sponsor $100,000 to hear a crazy guy scream BABABABABABOOOM.
Nili and T90 are 2k3 players now, Dave is definitely a better and faster player than Memb almost like 2k.
If it wasn't for his legacy, even a player like Jordan, Hera or Viper would be chosen over MEMB to cocast.
tbh i only made this account to speak what is in everyone's mind, but cannot say it out loud with their original accounts, due to being judged. And a fair bit of trolling here and there (i love watching memb tilt and flame 11, guy can't keep his cool)To be honest, you don't sound very mature with your taunts spam, masking your personal preference as facts and making up imaginary borders to define what or who's good caster or not. Seeing you joined AoEZone today, you're either just a new, younger member of this community or simply a troll who wants to taunt a controversal topic a bit. I think we all know what is more likely.
