SparkyzCast
Hi everyone,

SparkyzCast will be following hite Sparkyz throughout the proleague season and commentating on their matches. The general idea is to commentate the games in a sort of local sports network style. My goal is to get to every Sparkyz match this season, but I should at least get to one match per week. Check out my videos for more information, feedback is always appreciated:

SparkyzCast this is brilliant. You get the diggity thumbs up of approval

Concept is brilliant. I tended to focus most of my commentary last season on CJ, but not in nearly as explicit and specialized a way. Doing it this way from the outset, I think you'll be able to draw a sizable crowd of Sparkyz fans because you're likely to be the only commentator to cover it all - somewhat akin to Ranshin with the MSL and NukeTheStars with the OSL. This is a good niche.

As far as the commentary itself goes, I was generally impressed (your voice and flow are good, you're easy to listen to) with your work with a couple of nitpicks that I think you'll adjust for quickly. Right now, you're solid, soon, I think you'll be great.

Said nitpicks are that while I know you're enthusiastic, it doesn't always come across in your commentary. You sound professional, which is great, but occasionally seem a bit too detached. Similarly, like most new commentators, you occasionally have a tendency to describe what's happening on-screen a bit too much and not to delve into the significance of it quite enough (in my opinion. Your viewers and your mileage may vary.)

As I said, though, this is a very strong first effort and it will only get better from here. I've subscribed and I look forward to seeing more!
SparkyzCast
Thanks for the early support and encouragement everyone! Very much appreciated. Also, thanks for the quick comments and advice, SplittingImage. While I probably didn't improve much on those points yet, they're certainly added to my mental list of things I'm doing wrong, so hopefully it'll get better in the future. smile.gif

Hey everyone. It looks like I probably won't be able to finish up this week's videos today (to keep to my planned Sunday schedule). But, tomorrow I'll be uploading both Sparkyz vs Ace and Sparkyz vs Stars WeMade!

*Edit: Got ahead of myself... Stars is next week.
SparkyzCast

Week 5 vs eSTRO is live. Since Sparkyz is off this first week of November, I've actually caught up, so that's exciting. Next week will be against STX Soul.

It looks like Sparkyz is getting some more time off, so I won't be uploading a match next week, but look out for Sparkyz vs MBCG Hero in 2 weeks.
Lahv
:] yay!

I lahv Sparkyz too. Just because of Yellow[ArnC] and Luxury when he was on it.
SparkyzCast
Grrr, YouTube's not letting me upload the videos... I guess week 7 will be up tomorrow.

Edit.
Alright, Week 7 vs MBCGame Hero is up.

Playlist:

SparkyzCast
Hey everyone, week 8 vs Samsung KHAN is up. You should definitely check out game 1 with Leta vs firebathero... It's awesome.

Playlist:
http://www.youtube.com/user/SparkyzCast#p/c/D69DD345B0D5F2F4

I'm working on Sparkyz vs KT Rolster now, but you shouldn't expect it up until tomorrow night.
mark05
great commentary keep on going
SparkyzCast
Alright, I went ahead and did the other week 8, Sparkyz vs KT Rolster.

Playlist:
http://www.youtube.com/user/SparkyzCast#p/c/04E2F456925E18B4

Next week will be against SKT1, and likely also the rematch against Samsung KHAN.
SparkyzCast
Sorry I haven't posted in a little while, I've been kinda sick. Anyways, I made a commentary for the match against SKT1, but I totally messed up the audio, so instead, I made this roundup video talking about that match and some final thoughts on round 1:

Also, week 9 vs Samsung KHAN is up:

Playlist:
http://www.youtube.com/user/SparkyzCast#p/c/7DD629AA1F5A87B1

*let me know if that link isn't correct. YouTube changed something with their playlist system, so I might have messed that up.

Since I'm kinda behind now, I'll be uploading the matches against MBCGame Hero and Woongjin Stars as soon as their available.

youtube has changed/messed with so much stuff revently.. really a big pain.
SparkyzCast
Whew, all sorts of tech problems at my parents house... Anyways, I'm back now, so YouTube stopped hating me and I was able to fully upload week 10 vs MBCGame Hero.

Playlist:
http://www.youtube.com/user/SparkyzCast#p/c/15293813984BE8B6

I've got two more sets done, they just need to be rendered and uploaded, but that might take a little time, because I'm going to MAGFest!!! I'll also be recording something there, maybe interviews, maybe my impressions... not sure yet. But next week there will be a ton of new stuff and I'll be much closer to being caught up with the season (sorry for the delay on that, btw).

If you're coming to magfest, let me know! sparkyzcast@gmail.com
SparkyzCast
I'm FINALLY back home! That means I've had enough time to process and upload videos that I've already done! Once again, sorry they're late, but after holidays and magfest are over, I've got time to try to catch up once again. Without further ado:

Week 11 Sparkyz vs Woongjin
http://www.youtube.com/user/SparkyzCast#p/c/2421739E4488EA8D

Week 11 Sparkyz vs eSTRO

Next up will be vs Oz, then against KT, and I'll upload them once they're available.

Week 12 vs Oz is up!!!

Next is Sparkyz vs KT Rolster. I'm really working to catch up as fast as I can... which is apparently not that fast. But it will happen, eventually. Anyways, more vods as they're available.

SparkyzCast
It's 2forTuesday!!!! ... er... Wednesday.... Finished up Week 13 vs KT and vs STX, so now I'm done with December games. Hopefully within the next week or two I'll be reasonably caught up so that I can try to get back to a regular schedule. Enjoy:

AND!.. I'm recording matches vs CJ and SKT1 right now, so look for them either later tonight or (more likely) tomorrow!

As advertised:

Week 15 vs CJ Entus:

Week 16 vs SKT1:

That means I'm more or less caught up! and done with round 2! So, next week will be the first coverage of Winner's League games. Week 1 is against MBCGame Hero.

Hi there

Your commentaries have such a high standard and are so enjoyable for me, so thank you for the effort !

The only advice I may give you is that you get listed in the VOD-Tracker to get the audience you deserve.

Good job so far !
