Are you going to bring back your headband during a professional cast?

Awesome blog! I really enjoyed your casting at DreamHack Summer 2013. You really put a lot of heart and soul into your casts, which only hypes up viewers more. I have never been more pumped up for a probe killing an extractor in my life and it was all due to the enthusiasm of your cast. Great job and I hope to see, and hear , more of you!

Hey Nathanias. Great blog. It was a bit painful to read about how you feel not being able to pursue your goal to become a progamer, but I'm really glad you've come to enjoy casting. I remember checking you out during some of your SPL casts and thinking you were pretty good, but I've really enjoyed seeing you rise further and further in your actual casting abilities. even moreso than just your rise to popularity.

Thanks for being a great inspiration. On behalf of every commentator trying to make it out there casting ZOTAC cups, GO4SC2 Cups, semi-pro team leagues, small LAN's and online tournaments, I salute you. I think you're a great example to show that it's not just dumb luck to rise up. Hard work, dedication and passion do pay off in this industry.

Don't stop pushing forward on your success. During Climbing the Ladder you sounded out some concerns of how Dreamhack would be an unrepeatable event that raised expectations for future events you cast. But you should be no stranger to knowing that as long as you keep working to improve, you can still push it further and continue amazing people.

Nathanias fighting!!!

I wasn't a huge fan of your casting when you first started with the SPL stuff. Still better than the usual SPL casters, but at the time I thought it wasn't anything special. But, holy cow you were PHENOMENAL at dreamhack. The passion was there, the wisdom was there, the play by play was better than any other English language caster. Good for you Nathanias for going the distance.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Enjoyed reading this very much, as I really enjoyed your casting at dreamhack recently. I would really like to see you cast more major tournaments. Hope that all goes well in the future and you continue with the great job you are doing.

I just want to let you know that this is amazing to see. I've watched you since I first saw your SPL coverage, and instantly took to your casting style. Keep working Nate

I've really enjoyed watching you grow as a caster. You've come a long way in the past year. I say this with the slightest bit of jealousy as I remember hitting you a decent bit in WoL and considered you my Terran nemesis Best of luck though. I look forward to seeing you more in the future!
I have a question...

I think all casters start out as players, yearning for a top 16 finish here or even a championship one day. I can't think of any right now that didn't to be honest. Obviously a good caster has to have a lot of knowledge of the game and the best way to get that knowledge is to actually play that game, but I mean that you don't just go from a high masters player content with high masters, into being a caster.

Reading all this would have brought a tear to my eye if I had not known bits and pieces of it before, lol. It just reinforces my believe that getting into eSports is ridiculously hard, especially if you set really high standards for yourself.

Your freak out moment at DreamHack when SjoW was beating Life will always be one of my favourite moments in all of SC2. You very rarely freak out, especially as much as you did at that moment, so to hear you freaking out that much when I was freaking out just as much at home, was very special to me as well.

You're one of my favourite casters, not only for your casting, but for all the hard work and passion you put into your casting :D
Just keep doing what you're doing, it seems to be working :D
