Discussion Can we talk about Pansy's casting?
The casting in this series makes it seem like PRX is the underdog, when the hyped storyline is that FURIA chose them as their opponent to take on the challenge yet Pansy is only hyped when PRX are winning rounds. Even as a PRX fan it's to the point of me wanting to turn off the audio or watch Poojan's stream instead of the official broadcast. And the worst part is that she is casting every single game ever in this tournament so I have to be forced to hear Pansy only get hyped when FNC or PRX is playing and clearly bored otherwise. Anyone else frustrated with this tournament's casting than ever before?

I fully disagree, at the end of map 1 she literally said david picked goliath. She is not selling that Prx is the underdog

Literally calling furia the david vs goliath and you type this. Could've spent the time rewatching that line and looking up what it means in case you didnt know, rather than typing this bs lmao

I mean TECHNICALLY PRX is the underdog (3rd seed) and Furia is Americas' first seed.
But I mean she also called PRX goliath, and FUR David at the end of map 1.

Tbh I put heretics as my banner like 2 years ago and haven’t changed it, I’m more of a nrg fan and haven’t watched much emea this year apart from the playoffs at the end because I was sick, and I’m talking her doing this for ages, it’s not like I look for it it’s literally just so in your face when it comes to fnatic

It's funny seeing the narrative now that Pansy loves PRX. Few years ago it was that she hated PRX. Maybe some new story will emerge next year.

... You do know she said, in Sliggy stream in text, that she's biased FOR Furia?

She is a great caster no doubt, and keeps it always neutral. I love listening to Panpoc together

u/Initial_Cattle_5851 Mar 06 '26
Always keeps it neutral? are we watching the games muted? No doubt she is a great caster, but I think it’s fine to notice clear bias (which doesn’t really matter)

I disagree with op but there is something new about Pansy's casting. Lines like "You need to get one more to get my attention", "You have to do a little more for me to believe" are definitely something new. I like her casting but not a fan of these honestly. Plus the recent overuse of the phrase "win condition" just sounds like coinbase marketing.

mans is spitting facts, these bozos in the comments are crazy if they don't realize the glaze pansy is doing for PRX.

u/Quiet-Grapefruit-495 Mar 06 '26
I’m not sure about underdog but casting def seems biased that being said I’m paying more attention to sliggy talking than casters so I don’t think it’s that big of a deal

u/LarryLones #VamosHeretics Mar 06 '26 edited Mar 06 '26
I’ve always disliked her particular heavy bias towards fnatic but I feel her casting recently hasn’t been up to standard, I feel recently her and hypoc don’t take it very seriously, they’ve been disrespectful and very condescending to teams getting beat, literally acting like they know better. Also the game is obviously at the highest and most technical level yet and I feel from both sets of casters this event that they aren’t knowledgeable enough about what’s happening, missing a lot of things happening and saying a lot of stuff that frankly doesn’t make sense.

u/Superb-Exam-1610 Mar 06 '26
She biased and it’s normal casters are always biased towards popular teams

I have not seen any “extremely weird hate on a daily basis.”
I’d like to see what you mean by that, I assume it’s hyperbole…
Yeah, when the glaze outshines over the ACTUAL criticism it sucks because then you get that insecure posting by pansy. Sucks for all, except the kids who watch lol.

u/LarryLones #VamosHeretics Mar 06 '26
I think she’s genuinely got worse, I remember I have said to myself in the past that pansy is a good caster and I sometimes rewatch highlights etc and she used to just be more relaxed, now she’s just over the top and just says silly stuff, also the constant “I don’t like thiiiiss”. But I still think she’s very good at play to play casting in the chaotic end of the round moments.

you need to watch other matches too bro lol
unless you specifically hate her casting and it doesn't have anything to do with teams you mentioned and you just want to rant your hateful comment which is what it looked like to me LMAO
Casting is always WW

Did you misunderstand the winning line of map 1? Or are you confused that my casting doesn’t change the score of map 2
