I personally enjoyed the cast and yeah you could argue that HRG shouldn't get as much praise but if the entire cast is spent talking about the negatives it just makes the caster look like a jerk or a know-it-all. It's a tough position to be in but I think they handled well.
And I'm not trying to call anyone out here but if you ever watch the Epsilon casts for EU the "dickriding" is way worse there. However maybe it will seem like that for us if HRG are still undefeated in S15/16.
