00:00I love Twitter.
00:01Did you say if aliens invade, you'll betray the human race?
00:04Yeah, I said that, yeah.
00:05Oh, that's funny, I didn't hear that.
00:06Well, I mean, if they came down, I'd be like,
00:07well, I mean, I don't know, guys.
00:09Do you want to die or what?
00:11No, man, I can fucking do whatever they want.
00:12Whatever they want, man.
00:17Fucking tentacles everywhere, dude.
00:18Oh, shit.
00:28It's hard to imagine what StarCraft II would be like without Nick and Dan.
00:32They're the esports personalities who people interact with the most.
00:34Well, they make the game a lot easier for movies like me to understand.
00:38I mean, they're definitely the holy grail at casting.
00:40Every single day when we arrive home from work, it's GSL.
00:43You're always hearing them cast every big match.
00:53Nick, he's just like the rock star of StarCraft II, I think.
00:57I was the guy who was asleep in your high school classroom.
01:00And a lot of people would say, why is he asleep on the desk?
01:03Is it a broken home?
01:04You know, is he addicted to drugs?
01:07No, I was just up all night playing StarCraft.
01:09Dan is, in my opinion, the most amazing cast on StarCraft II
01:12because he actually knows the game probably better than even a lot of programmers.
01:17I'm just a guy that loves StarCraft.
01:20That's like what I am.
01:22You can sum me up with a sentence.
01:24For the wide audience, it's absolutely necessary to have a commentator.
01:28You need to have excitement, people to build up a story,
01:31and to give you a background information too about the players.
01:34Because it's not just about the game, it's also about the people around it.
01:37I mean, everybody goes through tough times.
01:39And I think it's when you're going through a really tough time that you see people's true character.
01:47They were very confident, and they knew what they were doing.
01:52Although they were poor, but they always didn't lose their hopes and stuff like that, you know?
01:56At the end of every month, I would be counting coins to try to buy enough food to live.
02:01I would keep a single dollar in my pocket and jump all the subway stalls,
02:05and if I got caught, I'd give them the dollar.
02:07I mean, the truth of the matter is, I don't get defeated.
02:11So, I didn't leave here.
02:14I just stayed here with a broken leg and no job on couches.
02:17They're just amazing, amazingly professional when they're casting,
02:21and without them, Sarkov 2 wouldn't be as big as it is now I do.
02:47I just stayed here with a broken leg and no money because I would be thinking of the other people
02:52around me.
