TSL3's got a pretty good lineup of casters Day9 and Wheat were good together in the latest cast. Chill's good, but he hasn't really been notable for me. I'm not really liking Husky in TSL for the moment, as I still can't get over the mindset that he's a "casual entertaining" caster. His cast with DJWheat was pretty bad to be honest. He was much improved with Chill, and it'll be great with more "professional competitive" casts he does, particularly with people like Day9 around him. Another issue is he talks WAY too much. Maybe because he's used to casting on his own. But when he gets on those long phases, it kinda gets annoying. | ||

It's not the worst thing in the world, and I like his enthusiasm / think his game knowledge is fine, but I get a bit annoyed with his 3-minute long endless runs that seem to just keep going forever. He's like the energizer-bunny caster. | ||

My main problem with husky is the fact that in the beginning of games, and in between games, it's like his vocabulary flies out the window and all he says is "tihs is going to be epic...epicness...epic games...that epic match we just saw..." It's annoying to hear the same word so many times. | ||

He is a true student of the game. As far as passionate tsl3 casters go it's hard to question Husky. He is very passionate. I do agree with other posters here. He is monotone, and questionable on the amount he truly knows. But he is doing his thing. I would rather hope he does better than tear him down. | ||

First, the reason he was ommitted was because he is the only caster that I didn't have a knowledge of previous to the TSL3. Obviosly Day[9] is well known, DJ wheat I know from D9, his casting site, and twitter. Husky is famous on YouTube. Basically, every other caster had an identity outside of team liquid. First off, I didn't appreciate some of the language Chill used (even Day[9] had to remind him to be professional). I think Chill is a basic casual caster, and their is nothing wrong with that. I don't believe he is entertaining enough to make it outside of TL.net (YET). Obviously he has a big TL.net fan base that are bias, and they should be, Chill is their boy. But lets be honest here. If you didn't know chill, to hear him cast you wouldn't be like "oh that guy is the best". If he was, he would be at GOM or making $$ doing vids on YouTube. From what I have been told he tried to do some web shows/casts that never panned out. So while others have established a strong foothold in the general starcraft community, Chill seems to me a bit like the odd man out for now. He has a strong footing in the TL.net community which is a great thing. Hopefully that will allow him to improve and grant him more access to a fan base outside TL. Personally, I look forward to seeing chill improve and by improving gain more exposure. In closing, I feel Chill is a great ambassador for Starcraft. Oh, and closing posts, mine or anyone's makes him a forum mod. not a bad caster. | ||

I'll close by providing, for your consideration, my two favorite things about Chill's commentary: 1) Chill forms the opposite pole from Day[9] in the joe cool vs. nerd continuum of casters. It looks like this: THOROUGHLY NERDY ----------------------------------------------------------------- OMG 2 COOL |||Day[9]---Artosis--------------Husky----DjWheat-----------------------Tasteless-----------Chill||| 2) Chill is pretty hilarious when he disagrees with another caster about who is winning (and he's usually right). From Nestea vs. Goody Set 3 (a dramatic reenactment): Husky: "Oh, damn, Goody is done for. Nestea is all up in his grill and he can't do anything about it. He's not mining, his main is forfeit, and all Nestea has to do is just keep making roaches to whittle down Goody's mech until it's gg time. It's practically gg right now." Chill: "I don't know about that, Husky!" | ||
