This is going to be unpopularish opinion since the vocal majority have all pretty much said the same thing here.
This is what I liked in this event:
The addition of Turkman Memb and Ornlu. Sure we didn't have killer b, zak or T90 but it's nice to have other casters get some spotlight too. Maybe next NAC (if another happens and I hope it does) we can have some more new casters join.
This is what made me tune in:
Seeing new faces like F1Re and Nicov who weren't in NAC1 and of course seeing Jordan again, as well as DauT.
This is what I think could be improved:
I'm gonna get disliked for this but I didn't mind the DauT casts with F1Re (in fact DauT and f1re was fine imo), as well as him casting with Jordan although if at any point you felt it was too much perhaps someone could have came in and warned them or told them to focus on the game more.
Humour is subjective and it's not always everyone's cup of tea and I get that and there probably was a line crossed in that specific game that daut+jordan casted and it may have ruined the professionalism but I think it's a little excessive for people to throw anger at this. Or saying that it was disrespectful of DauT being there for all players being flown in there and he resigns min 7 first game and made too many jokes when casting with Jordan. It's just DauT being DauT. Maybe with some players it's best to have 1 caster 1 player in future. Unless it's someone like mbl+liereyy who both can cast well together, that was probably my favourite player cast by far.
This is what made me turn off:
I don't think anything in NAC2 tuned me off, I liked the whole event and went above my expectations of NAC1. I think maybe working on interview questions more perhaps but other than that. I'm someone who isn't really fussy when it comes to aoe2. I love watching the game and the people and people who actively select/single people out is kinda sad really. Just appreciate the fact people went through all their lengths and came all the way in one place to play and entertain you all especially the casters who I believe didn't get paid for the event (correct me if wrong) everyone did their part in the event whether you like them or not. So thank you for that.
Edit: actually no one said this but seeing same civs over and over again was boring. I think it would be nice for first few rounds to have a civ pool. I know players hate this and based off of KOTD2 people didn't seem to like this setting. But the civ variety was poor and only viper went out his way to expand on other civs. At least for first round and second I think top tier civs shouldn't be played. Also I think the map pool for NAC2 could have some better maps in the future.
This was my favorite moment:
memb and jordan casting
daut and f1re
mbl beating viper
Mbl countering yasama towers with outposts
Seeing Nicov at an event he meets everyone for the first time especially his team mates liereyy and mbl
General notes/ what I also wanted to say:
praise the mods and the overlay guy and the invited basketball
