Banyak Minus di Starladder i-League Inv #3, Observer dan Interviewer Minta Maaf

Penyelenggaraan Starladder i-League Invitational #3 telah usai dan menyisakan banyak kekecewaan. Produksi yang kurang maksimal, dan segala hal teknis-non teknis yang mengecewakan para penonton begitu membekas. Banyak dari mereka yang mengeluhkan kinerja panitia terutama Observer dan Interviewer yang di mata mereka jauh dari harapan.

Hal inilah yang akhirnya membuat observer dan interviewer turnamen tersebut akhirnya buka suara. Untuk observer, orang yang ada di belakangnya adalah Alex Miloshevich atau yang lebih dikenal dengan vandersarDOTA. Diakui atau tidak, saat melihat dirinya menjadi observer paling tidak kita merasa kesal karena banyaknya kejadian-kejadian yang tak tertangkap kamera. Bahkan para caster baik dari caster Bahasa Inggris atau dari caster Rusia juga merasa kurang puas.

Dan untuk meruluskan apa yang terjadi, ia menjelaskannya lewat sebuat thread di Reddit yang bisa kalian baca di bawah ini.

Hi, Reddit. I am the observer that didn’t show a first blood, missed frags and other. I would like to say that this is not a denial of the fact that I haven’t worked out on hundred percent but, better to say, setting the record straight and an explanation of a few moments. And again I would like to apologize for the event. I am writing this for you to give me a feedback to make everything better at the next events, primarily, for you.
Let’s start with that three of us were working on observing of the event: a director of observers, a second observer and I as the main observer. We had no full-time second observer and we had found him less than a day before the event started and the director of observers was the main CS:GO observer, so we had one day to find a common ground and this was not enough. I won’t argue that there were no my mistakes – they definitely happened and that was quite obvious.
Also, we had been listening to the Russian-speaking casters on the first and the second day and to the English casters on the last two days and everything became better but not that much. Also, I would like to say that the second day of the tournament was fully failed by me. Why? That’s a good question.
I received a feedback from a couple of English casters and also from Russian-speaking ones. And now, I want to ask you what I have to fix for you to feel comfortable watching my camera and not to switch on Dota TV and to switch off the stream as I am waiting for one more LAN tournament in the short term.
Peace.
P.S. Was really hard to be main observer for all 4 days.

Tertera jelas bahwa ia mengakui segala kekuranganya. Dan meminta feedback dari para pengguna Reddit agar lebih baik di event selanjutnya. Ia mengatakan bahwa ada 3 orang yang bekerja sebagai observer, namun dialah yang menjadi main observer. Dan ia mengatakan bahwa kesalahan juga saat panitia menemukan dua observer lain di waktu yang mepet. Selain itu, salah satu observer juga merupakan observer CS:GO.

Sedangkan di sisi lain, Interviewer kemarin yang bernama Marie Gunina kemarin juga sempat mendapatkan banyak kritik karena cara ia membawakan sesi wawancara yang kurang terlihat baik. Dimulai dari gesture tubuh, nada bicara, dan banyak hal lainnya yang dikritik oleh para pengguna Reddit. Sehingga akhirnya ia buka suara dan mengucapkan terimakasih atas feedback baik kritik maupun support.

Hello everyone, it’s actually me doing all those terrible things you are talking about. I’m here not to excuse myself somehow, since the most of things you are discussing are true, but to clarify something.
I’m sorry for the fact you feel like I don’t even want to do this job and I don’t care about what players are saying. Since it’s the 1st time I’m doing live interviews in English, I’m feeling really nervous and yes, I know that demonstrating my emotions is unprofessional. I feel like I have a lot of things to work on with my body language and facial expressions since they defienetly don’t show the things I actually mean.
I do care about Dota and I’ve been playing it for 7 years since DotA 1. And I’m feeling lost reading all these comments about me being unhappy to do my job. And once again – there are no excuses, just a try to explain the reasons of this poor perfomance.
And I wasn’t talking on the phone right after the interview, just was fixing my earphone. And I know it also looks unprofessional.
Some things are coming to us only with experience and I know that people are not supposed to gain this experience during the Minors. But it happened. I’m sorry once again if your impression of the tournament was spoiled. But I’m happy to finally get any proper feedback, because in Russian-speaking community it only comes to the insults.

Terlihat memang kedua orang ini paling menarik perhatian mengingat observer begitu vital perannya sebagai pembawa kamera dalam game. Dan hadir dengan banyaknya tertinggal aksi-aksi keren dari game tersebut tentunya cukup membuat kecewa banyak orang. Sedangkan untuk interviewer sendiri tentunya tanggung jawabnya cukup besar juga apalagi ia yang diproyeksikan sebagai pemberi konten menarik dalam turnamen ini. Pastinya, ia butuh banyak belajar dan ia mengakui bahwa feedback baik yang diterimanya membuatnya bahagia. Karena komunitas di Rusia lebih membesarkan penghinaan.
