I wish to express my appreciation for some of the commentary that has been conducted on streams by teamliquid staff. For me, the commentary is, without a doubt, the biggest motivator for me to watch a three hour program where noobs challenge a known player, or some preliminary match in the TSL (or some showmatch raping XD). The commentaries have varied between serious, strategic analysis to silly, comedic discourse. But in virtually all cases, they have been very entertaining.

The role of commentators has also varied. Some, such as Chill/Rage/Plexa(recently), are frequent fliers. Others have popped in on occasion. I'm hoping the list I have is exhaustive but I'm sure I've missed someone (apologies in advance).

Poll: Best or Most Enjoyable Commentator
(Vote): Chill
(Vote): Rage
(Vote): Plexa
(Vote): Kennigit
(Vote): Artosis
(Vote): Losingid8
(Vote): lilsusie
(Vote): xeofreestyler
(Vote): fakesteve

Regardless of the poll results, kudos to all who have participated in the streams (except for sea that hacking bastard), and thank you for hours upon hours of entertainment. I encourage anyone who votes to explain why they chose the one they did.

edit: people I missed?:

Haha. Fakesteve is a very funny commentator. I'll give you that.

It's also advantageous to the other players that he isn't a gamer because it would just be instarape right?

Wish I had multiple votes...

I really enjoy the triple commentaries, and the occasional random youtube commentators.

Can't forget Tasteless of course and Lilsusie and Daniel Lee.

All of them are great, and I agree, the commentary is one of the main highlights to many of the team liquid events

Chill and Fakesteve are my personal favorites. fakesteve is hilarious and Chill has a good...rhythm about things.

I also really like Plexa, I think he did a terrific job today.

Voted Artosis because his strategic depth is awesome. Unlike a number of other casters; myself included.

Yeah if I separated this into 'depth' and 'other' then Artosis could be a shoe in for the former. Also don't let chill fool you; I'm not that bad lol.

edit: nAi.PrOtOsS: that's a good problem to have!

Tasteless would definitely be a front runner if it was opened to anyone.

I also really liked the nony/day[9] videos they released, like of the epic bisu/savior games.
