Insanely Bias Commentating

They're hype af when Optic does a good play or something, but calm and dull when Loud wins a close round.

edit: literally compare the bonus rounds of each team, the emotions are so different

If u go back to past threads, one of the highest upvoted ones was me noting bias commentary between 2 other teams. Idk what Optic beating drx has got to do with this.

true, but the rounds they did win, they're so dull and emotionless. Even individual kills that go Optic's way they're much more hype, but not for kills going Loud's way.

those are 2 rounds that show the bias more, also the individual picks are super hype when optic is hitting heads, but not so much when Loud gets a kill or two

They're not as biased as some other casters have been. Still a bit of it here and there, but not as bad as other casters have been.

you have to be physically residing in that region to support a team there? I didn't know that

tbh I'm not sure why you're surprised there's bias in english speaking commentators, towards english speaking regions. It's pretty much like that across nearly every sport.

It's like going into the jp streams, and wondering why they wernt as hyped when optic won a map against zeta, opposed to zeta winning a map.

I dont really agree with it, however it's been a thing since as long as I remember.

I don't think it's insanely bias, a little bias maybe but if they start rooting for Brazil when they at 2-10 then NA fans would start calling them biased lol

Because Optic is dominating LOUD rn. Even the rounds LOUD wins they're lacklustered and not impressive. They run into stacks etc etc whereas Optic are playing this game to a tee

I've found the commentators and desk staff pretty underwhelming during the whole tournament tbh, they have clear favourite teams (which is fair, they're human) and seem to take it a bit too personally when said teams don't win. I think part of the issue is that all the commentators are all from EMEA or EU so they're understandably biased towards their home teams and know the most about them. I would love if next Masters they get a few commentators from other regions, hopefully it would alleviate the bias

Everyone is denying it but it isnt completely false, when it comes to teams that arent EMEA or NA there are different expectations completely. If a team doesnt play crazy like PRX or if a team doesnt constantly have heroics or the craziest round ever then the casters dont react nearly as hype as they do for EMEA and NA teams
