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.


Apparently his BW streaming days dont count.

i love gretorp but i think the nerves get to him in NASL.. hopefully he will settle down.

he never had this "nervous energy" when he would self commentate bw and sc2

i also think his casting is a lot better when a terran is playing.. the nada/dde game had great casting


on a side note.. i think they really need someone who knows zerg.. that zvz game was really awkward and both inc and gretorp seemed pretty clueless as to what was going on..

how can anyone hate gretorp -______- I've been in love with the guy since I first heard him cast EU vs ASIA back in beta (with D9) and he never failed to impress me with his deep knowledge and thoughtful approach to the game.

Yes, he has some individual quirks in his speech that he might want to work on but I do not mind that stuff at all.

He's not perfect, but he has a great voice for casting and he obviously knows a lot about the game. I'm sure he'll become one of the better casters around when he settles into the job a bit.
there's a bug in the new patch where the other player keeps killing all my dudes.. please nerf this

Well, my points have already been mentioned in the thread and seem pretty common, but just adding decibels to the crowd I guess.

1) Mic goes way too loud during excitement
2) Excitement seems forced at times?
3) Mix between a commentator and an analyst - and not a very smooth mix, though great at being an analyst (for most matchups ><)

He just has a lot of work to do if he wants to become a better caster. And it isn't going to be easy, and possible Western fans are tick tocking away.

1.) They seemed to have fix the mic, at least for the last cast. Caster volumes are very acceptable and no longer ear-shattering.
2.) Gretorp seemed to have heard our comments, so he now doesn't show very much "forced excitement" anymore. Unlike his first NASL casts, Gretorp seemed almost too calm in the last cast.
3.) I really liked Gretorp's analysis, especially now that he's less nervous and keeps a better composure during his casts.

Gretorp is handsome. I just wish he'd go back to calling plays handsome.

But yeah he's great. Me like. No need for people to pile on on casters all the time seesh.

What's wrong with Gretorp? Nothing.

This man taught me how to robustly bop clowns, and for that I owe him a great deal. Gretorp is bigger than the haters and is improving his casting powers daily.

I think the complaints are in part due to the other quality casters that the NASL has had (I've really enjoyed Diggity and Khaldor). Personally, I think Gretorp is the worst out of the 4 casters that I've seen on the NASL, and if others agree with me, then that could be part of the reason why there are so many haters. While I'd like Gretorp to improve upon his casting, I'm also just an impatient teen that wants the good stuff now .

There are probably some people who don't recognize Gretorp as a name of authority, so they end up jumping on the hate bandwagon. So much analysis in Gretorp that you never need to look anywhere else +_+...hopefully he can begin to show his strengths more in casts as he gets used to dual casting!

Go Andre! I agree with Classysaurus, be yourself you so funny & handsome, brah.

Nothing is wrong with Gretorp, he is great. People just think omg lol rofl he isnt as good as Artosis or Tasteless who have been casting non stop for years.
