Dominion League / Re: Collecting feedback for providing commentary on Dominion matches

So, first let me say thank you for doing the commentary and seeking feedback to keep making it better. Having the commentary for things like the championship match adds a lot of value, and overall I really enjoy how it's happening. So, keep up the good work!
Bringing in the players is really hit or miss. With the last match, it dragged a bit (and it was pretty unbalanced between Mic and dudeabides for whatever reason, which was unfortunate because dude really should have gotten more mic time). In the past, it's worked well. I think when the players are talking, it works best as a cage match style, where instead of competing they are trying strategies together and so it feels entirely ok to get suggestions from each other, the chat, etc.
Adam, I think your skill level is up to where you can be the expert commentator. I do like having multiple folks at that level so the commentary can dig into some subtle issues, but right now you're doing well.
I agree that having a playtest or two of the boards would be really helpful, so the commentary can compare the play in the match to the baseline of the playtests.
