The only thing I do remember is a lot of them getting mocked for their game knowledge so I don't get your selling point. I know Cholera as some fanboys, but give me a break. If he's as good as these people are led to believe I'm sure we'll start hearing a lot more from him through word of mouth and he'll get picked up somewhere. well this was the elitism of 2007 TL thinking that tasteless was the only worthy commentator and mocking the actual entertaining casters like klazart because they weren't knowledgeable enough | ||

If he's as good as these people are led to believe I'm sure we'll start hearing a lot more from him through word of mouth and he'll get picked up somewhere. By Golden Age, I meant when nearly every game SPL, MSL, OSL, from qualifiers onwards were cast by some commentator, who, even if they didn't have a massive knowledge of the game, were entertaining and fun to watch in their own way. Rise would bash everyone, Klazart for his passion, Cholera for his Reach crush/Hyuk bashing and history lessons, etc.etc. To me (and a lot of others), it was an amazing time where nearly every starcraft VOD could be watched with a decently entertaining english commentator. Nowadays, Nuke tries to handle all of OSL and Sayle all of SPL, and they do an amazing job for 2 people, but it's not like the days where 6-8 good commentators casted and often did dual/triple casts together. Edit: Cholera doesn't seem interested in doing commentaries for a job; he just finished some schooling and is doing some more "schooling" (probably an MD or PhD), and already has a job at a Northeastern US company, which frankly is probably more stable than commentating. | ||

What this guy said. It was a good time to be getting into the pro scene. Even if he's only doing it for a hobby Cholera should put out good content. I'd be just as happy if Cholera never gets into doing commentary for money, because his enthusiasm and excitement never sounded fake. I think that's what a lot of us miss. When you're paid to sound excited it ruins that. | ||

Now all he needs is to make fun of the fantasy build one last time :D Isn't Klazart also a doctor? It's funny how successful these old commentators are... Klazart an MD, Rise an engineer, and Cholera sounds like he's doing pretty well. | ||
