Requirements for commentators.

Stiky has the best analysis skills; he should be involved. ;Peka;
As with anything, experience is key. And I don't agree that you need to be a top player in the game to be a good commentator. You just need to have a clear understanding of the game's mechanics. And, frankly, Heroes is very difficult to analyze (when you're commentating on someone else's game). You can only state what has been done (well or poorly) and what hasn't been done (whether it could have been done or not). It's impossible to predict the future (I mean, for a commentator to create a game plan several moves ahead; of course, there are situations like "these cons will be postponed until next week," but that's obvious anyway). The difficulty of analysis naturally stems from the constant revealing of the map and the discovery of new objects, which change the game plan every minute. Therefore, the commentator's role is reduced to being a captain (like my post ;joyful:) and telling cool stories. It's a completely different story with FP streams; due to the dynamic revealing of the map, we can follow the player's thinking and their assessment of risks. That's why, for me personally, restarts are the most interesting part of the streams. It's always fun to watch how psyche_7 restarts; he plays builds that 70% of the time, without thinking, we would have restarted, but he always had answers to our objections or questions, and if he didn't, he would say something like, "the creature still has 3 restarts – he'll definitely win." Isn't that great? All the best to everyone!
