EPTI heard/I believe just aren't good enough.
I ask because the way he casts makes my fingers turn off streams. I would have guessed he was diamond, max.

Tastosis, Day9, etc. have all complained about it in the past. JP is no different. | ||

His faux laugh and flat personality just kill me. I really wish he would just stick to behind the scenes stuff. Even on SotG (his own show lol), he's the person I like least. He just has the personality of an oven mitt. I do sincerely respect all he does for "eSports" but I'd much prefer if he were just a tournament organizer or something. Not that my opinion matters on the subject! But it is a blog post, after all. even more then Nony? the guy saids like 10 lines a night including intro and shoutouts | ||

I agree that today wasn't JP's best day, but hell I've seen Day9 being much "worse" in the way of whining about being tired of commentating. Also I don't know how you guys can be so harsh on JP and be fine with Djwheat. Wheat has this excited/exciting tone and a good talking/commentating voice, but the things he says, for the love of fuck, it's this consistent unidimensional flow of irrelevant or obvious stuff, or a rehash of what the other caster said. I find myself nearly freaking out at the amount of facepalm-worthy comments he throws around and I just want him to hear me think "YOU DON'T SAY?!". Sometimes I just wish Day9 would pause the game in the middle of MLG and tell him "No, you are wrong, and let me tell you why." I hope some of this happens between the games at least. Pure analysis is boring, so there's always some place for the good old shoutcasting, but come on. Wheat tells me what's on screen and spices it up with shallow first-degree analysis that makes very little sense most of the time. JP, who's average but tolerable to me, at least has something to add to the game. | ||

Between JP's lack of enthusiasm and Rob's complete lack of game knowledge, I can hardly find redeeming qualities there. I mean, they would be decent for some mid-level tournies like playhem or whatnot, but if MLG wants to develop SC2 into a billion-dollar industry, I'm sure they can do some better talent finding than those. I'm sure they are great at other things, but casting...meh. | ||

I don't mind JP, granted he is not the most enthusiastic caster in the world, but he knows a ton about the scene and the players. I also do like that he usually keeps a very professional demeanor. Why Rob is casting is completely beyond me. He knows nothing about the scene or the players and clearly has little to no knowledge of the game. But honestly what gets me the most is that he clearly thinks he's hilarious--that's the one thing I really really can't stand about him. For goodness sake, bring in someone like Husky or Cat's pajamas; people who've actually contributed to the community and have a solid knowledge of it and the game. | ||

I want to put a little perspective here, this is something I'm seriously interested in knowing: Poll: Which caster would you rather see replaced at MLG? JP McDaniel (44) Rob Simpson (24) 68 total votes Your vote: Which caster would you rather see replaced at MLG? JP and Rob are both nice guys, but MLG may need to make some changes... | ||

I feel JP Mcdaniels is the worst caster in the SC2 scene. Best Host? Sure. Organizer? Sure. Casting he's so bland. One tone of voice. I keep here "OH NO SEAN, LOOK OUT SEAN, OHHHH" When he casted with Day 9 he sucked and ruined it. I enjoy watching those B-level guys on the beta MLG streams over him. JP is kind of like orb, when I hear them I hear them "trying" to cast. Not just doing it naturally. This is like my 5th post about this topic and me not liking him so I'll give it up, there's still worse people than him. However I just don't see it. | ||
