Of course, a lot of this comes from their years of experience together, but it’s still something to aspire towards.

I see them as a sort of golden standard for what you want to achieve in a panel or broadcast. I still watch a lot of Brood War games casted by Tastosis to this day because of that. However, they were the best casters because of their synergy, experience, and entertainment value. I think from a technical standpoint, this casting pair did not have the highest game knowledge or the highest MMR or whatever quantifiable attributes people tend to look at. This made me think a lot about who I consider the original GOATs of Esports casting: Tastosis. It’s like in Dota, where sometimes even the carry has to go in and bait that perfect epicentre to secure the teamfight. I learned a lot about how helping others look good will lead to a better result. I think I came into my first LAN at the AniMajor with a good understanding of the technical side of things (Dota knowledge, thinking processes for understanding the game, etc.), but I got incredibly lucky that the rest of the talent team taught me how to use that technical side to produce a good show. I think a lot of the value added from a talent perspective comes from the synergy and connections between the people working. I think what I’ve learned throughout my short journey as Dota talent is how to add value to a product. I can honestly say that I enjoyed working with literally everyone in the talent crew, and I think that atmosphere makes the events better.

I want to give some additional shoutouts, but I will do that later in the blog. I think it’d be very easy for a casting group to become jaded and swarmy and try to bring each other down to look better, but I think the thing I respect the most about the casting scene is that it is full of people who will go out of their way to help others succeed.

So first, I think the Dota casting scene is amazing. I also want to address a few parts of the scene from my perspective. I’m going to make a lot of comparisons to my experience playing and coaching teams because that’s what I base most of my views off. Just wanted to blog a little bit about my journey in the Dota 2 talent sphere.
