Hello and thank you for reading should this find you. I am a 26 year old, NA Zerg player, and I want to be the guy casting the games you watch. This blog will hopefully be used a vehicle for me to have you guys submit replays and I'll me cast them. I know this will not be easy, but I'll be damned if it cannot be fun, after all, I will be watching the game I love overandoverandover again while hopefully bringing something new to the table.

"Why you? What makes you good enough to be a caster?"

Excellent question, and and even better answer:

Nothing.

I am not trained in speaking to cameras. I didn't study pool timings at my local community college. I am however dedicated and hard working. I have heart. I am willing to look like a dumb ass at first as I cast for strangers. I can handle it. All I am looking for is a chance to try, and to have some fun casting the best StarCraft 2 games out there. I'd like to thank you again for reading this and pleasepleaseplease, send me replays if you would like to have them casted. I look forward to serving and entertaining everyone in the future. Please check back as I will update this blog with more info and content.

Here is the link to my Youtube channel: My Youtube channel!

Please give feedback and submit replays if you've got them, I would love to cast your games.


Cheers
Josh/MacRoPlz

I really appreciate that Zyclon, and I look forward to casting your games soon! And to anyone else who may read this, please don't be shy about sending those replay over, no judgement, just casting and play by play!

Thanks again Zyclon!

Maybe you should cast sort of a "resume" game, you know, to show where you are right now.
Done with Team Liquid for a while. Don't expect to find me here.

Just wanted to do an update, I now have 2 videos up, I have been recieving requests/replays from people wanting their games casted, by all means keep it coming. Expect a lot of content over the next few days as well as some improvments to the over-all casting format as well. I recieved feedback regarding what music is playing in the background, and I would like more constructive critism if anyone has any. I want to say thank you again to the people reaching out thus far and look forward to hearing from more of you and casting your games.

Cheers!
