Unfortunately, I would post videos of his epic voice.... but I can't seem to find any =[

Anyway, his boisterous voice along with cheesy cheap WordArt popping out in 3D made the tournament so much more fun.

I guess we'll have to stick with a seventeen year old girl announcing the players now ;d

Farewell, Epic GSL SF Voice Guy!

I was originally disappointed, but her voice has grown on me. I agree with Artosis, it does have an ethereal quality to it. At the end of the day, I would have to say I like it now.

WAT? I found the 3D word art awesome, along with street fighter voice. I'm a bit disappoint that he's gone, because the woman's voice is somewhat lacking.

I'd rather just see better rendering along with the epic voice. IU is way too cutesy and soft for the glory of esports.

The girl voice can really grow on you after listening to it repeatedly.

Glad they removed the 3D wordart, that was childish looking.

Is it actually confirmed to be IU's voice or is it just someone that sounds like her? Hard to believe they got IU just to do the name announcements.

I think this really does spell the end of sc2. I mean, SF Voice Guy really WAS SC2. Without him, the scene has really just stagnated. The perfection of the announcement of the names really was found in SF Voice guy, and since then has only gone down. Now, I know all you "hardcore" SC2 guys may still persist that SC2 lives on, but really, that's just delaying the inevitable. How many good games have happened since he left? 1? 4? compares to the dozens even hundreds of games beforehand, its just another indicator.

Here's a drink for SC3, and perhaps the era of a new way of announcing names.

I really like her voice, but SF voice is awesome too.

Maybe they should mix it up. That would be doubly awesome.

Or mix the two voices together?

I was surprised to hear a non-sf voice. Was all down on the new voice, but it actually grew on me. I loved the SF voice, but the new voice works well too.

I think the old format was creating too many awkward situations between the Korean commentators and caster. For example, during the team invitational you could see them half-laughing and pausing because it was awkward. When I first heard the new voice I was outraged, and I will definitely miss it. With that being said, IU's introduction is starting to grow on me.

People seem to either love or hate IU's voice. I liked the sf4 voice, but I like IU's voice just as much only in a different way.
