His casting has potential, not to mention his excited nerd voice can probably be worked on.

He's fine as a caster, but he doesnt really keep me interested the way the TSL casters keep me interested. I just think they can higher people better
I asked my friend how the ratio at a party was, he replied. "Let's just say for every guy there was two dudes."

Personally, I love Gretorp. His casting is great, and his analysis is often spot on. I love when he talks about opportunity costs and the effects it will have on a person's build. He's especially good when casting Terran players because he understands the race so well, and the theory behind their choices. People are complaining because they've never heard Broodwar casting before (ie PLAGUUUUUUUUUUU, REABO REABO REABO REABO!) or because they're just being annoying brats who can't appreciate Gretorp's handsomeness.

He never calls him handsome anymore Thats whats wrong

As one else already said the only issue I can find with his casting is his mic, apart from that Gretorp is good at casting and had good knowledge of game.

They should be honored someone as good as Gretorp decided to even commentate for them.


(Note: I have no opinion one way or the other about Gretorp's casting ability.)

God forbid people be judged on merit rather than seniority and skill that they had in a prior game.

Nothing could be worse than the TSL casting when day[9] isn't casting IMO. /slight exaggeration

our sound abilities were terrible. They are fixed now. Todays broadcast still has same sound issues but gretorp and I don't scream I think!

After tonight the sound quality will be around 30x better! I listened to it myself.

Also after tonight: Music during pregame/in game commentary. SOUNDS A LOT BETTER

I've liked Gretorp since his BW days and I believe he can do well as a caster. At the moment though, a lot of stuff he says is exaggerated and his enthusiasm comes off as fake. More importantly, he just seems nervous and uncomfortable in front of the camera and in a studio setting. I'm sure it's a lot of pressure. He just needs to chill and be his normal self and he'll do fine.

Also I'd like to add (for both casters) that although this league is serious bussiness you gotta relax and have some fun with it. Jokes, friendly banter, talking about horses and guinea pigs lol. That's what the viewers want and expect. Sitting there all stiff and serious is not really entertaining.
I'm sure it'll come with time though.
There was once a dream that was Esports. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... Now is the time to make that dream a reality!

Thanks for this, now Gretorp can get excited and my ears won't die.

Also, how many more games is Diggity doing?

Yep, Gretorp just needs to chill, as Tyler would say.

Agreed -- I checked out NASL briefly -- and was actually quite pleased with the crazy shouting and good analysis. I'll definitely watch again.

Great! Will pay when I can pay with PayPal!

I recommend all of the BW fans to support GSL and NASL, as even though (at least I) think the games are boring, by supporting SC2 we make SC as an e-sport bigger!

poeple don't like him because he gets really excited while casting.

I mean really?Is how is that so bad?Have you ever seen playguuu and reabo and Most Psi storm ever?

the commentators literally scream their lungs out and gretorp is so passionate about SC2 and shows it in such a form he just makes me want to watch SC2....the dude actually makes me want to watch SC2.

Haha can't believe people can hate Gretorp.
Do an arranged marriage if she's not completely minging, and don't worry about dancing, get a go-kart, cheers.

I'm confused. So many people are praising him for his BW days... but he never did anything in BW. It's boggling, how could you have been his sincere fan? I just think this is a bunch of SC2 players making up fallacies. I love Gretorp, little lagger that he is... but please don't spam bullshit.
SC is like sex. You should play often, but never too hard. And you should only try hard when it matters.

Actually, I'm confused. What are people spamming exactly? No one here said he "did anything in BW," which I assume you mean he has no huge bw accomplishments. I just personally liked watching his stream in the bw days; his was one of the more interesting ones to watch b/c he actually talked and interacted while playing.
