Casting together in the IPL is so great. they have really good synergy and debate interesting obscure things, real or not real. I never see any discussion of how nice they are casting together.

HD is cringe worthy and clueless for the most part, although he does have a nice voice. PainUser is ok I guess.

Most of it is that I don't like PainUser. HD's fine.

Sure, I agree. I always liked HD, despite being a bit inaccurate as of late.

I like both HD and PainUser, PainUser is really ingame smart, and HD has a really nice casting voice!

Together, not really, HD has a nice voice tho, not a fan of Painuser.

Painuser is great, HD manages to sound stupid for the most of the time. ( god how many times have he used that star wars mind trick reference?)

Painuser is alright, I don't really care for anyone who came into the game as a caster. Seems like they are all pretty much awful compared to players who transition into casting

i dont like either, HD doesn't know anything that he's talking about (same for husky) they just scream and should to distract people from the fact that they don't have a damn clue what they are doing. and painuser to me isn't a pro gamer, he has done nothing with all the hype he's gotten has gone no where considering every tournament he enters he basically gets dead last (nasl for ex.) either way i'd say a huge no to this and a no to either of them on their own.

I don't like the team for sure. But I guess I must give MASS props to HD because he is the one who made me discover the game. Also, I think *correct me if I'm wrong* he is one of the first "commentators" on Youtube. I can't say he don't know anything but, I watched a lot of his casts and I liked 'em, and it helped me a lot in my learning of SC2.

But PainUser? Bahhhh, boring!

I dislike both of them. I actually prefer to hear DJ Wheat casting on IPL.

i would like to make the argument that they are shout casters not really analyzing the game at a higher level of play. i would say that they provide some useful tips for players plat and below. personally i like hd and painuser i dont mind the duo

HD doesn't really know what he's talking about, which is not the same as Husky because Husky demonstrates he has some knowledge of the game. Painuser is an okay analyst but there are better ones like Artosis or day[9]. If Painuser was with someone like Wheat or JP or TB I think he would be doing a lot better and be much more respected as a caster.

I can't disrespect HD too much, as he (along with husky) were the ones that got me into SC2 in the first place. However obviously since then i've moved onto better casters etc., and looking back HD just isn't that great of a caster. He makes a lot of mistakes and I feel he's just not a part of the community as much as someone like Day[9], or even TotalBiscuit.

As for PainUser? At least he's a pretty good player himself so he brings some analysis to the table.

Listening to either Painuser or HD by themselves is terrible. Together, the show becomes an abomination. HD is completely clueless and Painuser's "analysis" is just as good as his playing ability (mediocre at best). These two casters plus AskJoshy make me want to kill kittens. Millions of kittens. So short answer: No.

im surprised that there is this much negative feedback about the 2. I thought they were pretty well received here, HD especially O_O

I think HD just had trouble finding good words. He tries to use a lot of comparisons and more often then not, they fall short of what he probably had initially wanted. I like PainUser more than HD. The two aren't perfect and I usually prefer someone else, but I don't mind them too much to not watch a game between two players I like because of their casting.
