I actually voted for both, but would probably prefer Bob. Even though I'm a HUGE Dan Dinh fan. Like, he helped me out in a 1 on 1 tutorial, is an incredibly nice guy, etc... Both Bob and Dan Dinh, if they were to commentate in an official capacity, would be extremely well received. Both of them would do really well, there's no doubt. They'd put virtually every other commentator we've heard to shame. And the community would be like..."Holy ****, these guys should commentate more."

Bob could do this. He's a good player with great knowledge of the game and experience at all levels of play--even tournament play.

Dan, on the other hand, couldn't. But for very unique reasons. Dan is the leader of one of the top NA teams. Sure, they just lost a member and are regrouping now, but odds are they'll be serious competitors for major tournaments in the future. So Dan would not be able to really commentate tournament matches in the future.

Bob, on the other hand, would be able to commentate. So if we could use this chance to get Bob into the commentator role, get some popularity up, and make that momentum last, we could very well see him commentating tournaments throughout the year.

I voted for Dan Dinh, although Bob is superior at commentary, he isn't a top ELO player. Maybe we can get Dan and Bob together on this match.

Both Guardsman Bob and Dan Dinh. They're both great players, and they're extremely well mannered so their commentary should be relatively unbiased and sightful.

Voted for bob and dan, love bob's seemingly non biased opinion.

That's the problem. Dan'll be a competitor at future tournaments and won't be able to commentate. Bob, on the other hand, is someone I'd like to see as a commentator long-term.

Guardsman Bob. Great voice, generally positive attitude and a very level head. He seems perfect.
