I've been thinking a lot about commentary lately and how it impacts the overall esports broadcast quality. Good commentators can make even a relatively uneventful match engaging, while poor commentary can ruin the viewing experience for even the most exciting games.

What makes for great esports commentary in your opinion? Is it deep game knowledge, hype building, storytelling, or a combination of all these elements? I've noticed that different games seem to have different commentary styles that work well for their communities.

How much does commentary affect your enjoyment of competitive gaming events? Are there particular commentators or casting duos that you always enjoy listening to? And what's the balance between entertainment and analysis that works best for you?

I think commentary is one of the most underrated aspects of esports production quality.
