God is Klaz still around? He first brought me into the SC scene... epic caster... I remember when he asked people to vote on his book and it got thousands of votes in a couple days and pissed off the whole community. | ||

Makes a lot of stupid predictions and super obvious statements, take this gem from tarson vs. dimaga: "reapers against roaches.... reapers can actually take them down because they can actually move backwards, forwards, left and right... and they do a lot of damage." and I hate his accent. Day[9] = talks overly abstract about simple things, goes on for thirty minutes about the importance of proper overlord scouting patterns. Makes weird noises. Husky = well I'm not really sure about this guy but from what I've seen he likes to start out every game by declaring "I have so much shit to talk to you about today; number one... etc".. By midgame he might start commenting on the game anyway he's kinda funny I guess. Chill = "uhm, I'm not really sure what's going on right now..." usually indicating the player is doing something horribly wrong. According to chill every player in every game ever played are deviating from some strange norm that apparently only chill is aware of. Thegunrun = is equally as clueless as tasteless but makes up for it by sounding like an early morning jazz radio dj. Scan actually fills in with something relevant every once in a while. Artosis = Perfection. Is so passionate about starcraft it shows through in all of his casts. Brings lots of relevant insightful comments on the game all while keeping up perfectly with the minimap. what else? I'll take the time to apologize for every caster that doesn't cast in a way that perfectly suits you. You may know why a supply depot goes at the ramp, but someone new to the game wont. I'ts much more important to help new players than it is to please people that already know everything thats going on. Now, I know there are some TERRIBLE casters, but you mention a few of the best casters in sc2. When John madden says "touchdown" and "first down" ect... Do you think anyone is screaming at their TV saying "WOOW so annoying, he says that EVERYTIME!" | ||

"That is so high level"... Real players know when they see high level and noobs do not know high level when they see it... Thus this comment is as superfluous as it is annoying. Note to mention is the fact that you are casting the GSL- a tournament rife with ex-progamers and other up-and-coming gaoshou. Calling their play "high-level" seems redundant. | ||

constantly making very weird sounds like 'hum' 'ahhh' ohh' 'hehe'. also, he cuts off his co-caster(s) WAY too much and not only is that very rude but very frustrating to listen to when you have two ppl talking at the same time. | ||

It really hurts my heart... coming from the man who I listened to literally in awe when he was casting WCGs/Blizzard invitationals/Gomtv intel S1-2. He's trying to sound professional and exciting while it's obvious he's bored of the game and doesn't play it at all. Artosis is there to save the day at least. | ||

Yup, I agree that Tasteless is trying way too hard to convince the viewers that these are good games, but in reality most of them are horrible. | ||

Day[9]- IMO (emphasis on opinion) day9's casting is just slightly above average. Sometimes hit or miss, but his enthusiasm and day9 daily casting style are completely great. Does repeat the same things a lot though and I admit its not as mindblowing as broodwar analysis, but I give him credit for pushing out quality vods everyday. I'd say the most annoying thing are his "insane" fans. Husky - OMGSOMEBATTLEISHAPPENINGIGOTTATALKREALLYFASTRIGHTNOW HD - this is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE Chill - just a great caster. on point and hilarious Incontrol - just hilarious and awesome at all times. not much more i can say Chill + incontrol - show of a lifetime I guess I don't find casters too annoying since I appreciate all the effort that goes into their streaming and uploading vods. I really hate casters though that think their viewer count is the shit and that makes them the shit because they can talk about StarCraft. Basically people who don't cast for the love of the game. | ||

I don't know what makes Tasteless so special to be completely honest. HD and Husky for the longest time you could tell by their performance they were just some amateurs with a webcam and mic. Chill is pretty good and actually self-criticizes himself so he can improve. With Day[9] I share the same sentiments as Tasteless, I feel like almost anyone could do what he does speaking strictly about commentary but all the other great shit he does makes him a top choice. InControl is probably my favorite. He's knowledgeable [ maybe not the most ] and doesn't fuck up the very simple basics like colors and names or calling probes drones/scvs. The right mix of situational humor and commentary. The white-ra cheese accent impression was the best lolol Artosis kinda bothers me because he uses the So-so sentence structure all the time. Like I honestly haven't watched one cast where he doesn't say something like ' This timing is soooo soooo critical. ' He is knowledgeable I'll give you that. | ||
