There is no equal.
Tastosis are really good at generating hype. They always sound really hyped up. But there is so little "meat" behind that hype. It becomes painfully obvious that they dont actually know much of the current state of the game.
Sayle always seemed like he actually knew what he was talking about and when he didnt he had a chat full of players who would fill him in. He didnt pretend to know everything; he was eager to learn together with the viewers as the games unfolded.
Really great casts.

You clearly have no idea and your opinion will rightfully be ignored. Have a nice day.

I like how you are saying "Sayle always seemed like he actually knew what he was talking about" but then proceed and say "He didnt pretend to know everything". As I said, I liked his casting for the exact same reasons you did. However, there were better casters than him but those did not cast live events for the most part and were mostly gone when Sayle was very active. Sayle was C on ICCup, of course he wouldn't know every detail some A-player might know. That doesn't make him a bad caster. I just spoke out against praising him as the best caster ever, which is indeed quite short-sighted in my opinion.

Btw you still haven't actually named one that is better than Sayle, other then saying "I will just say Kiante for the sake of naming one". And those others were so amazing that you actually forgotten their names? Interesting.

Random question as I've not seen it mentioned anywhere. When are the Ro4 matches?

Have I ever said they were "amazing"? I rarely can remember names, especially when it's close to 10 years ago and I was just watching random VoDs on youtube. The major reasons I can remember Sayle's name is because he was much more recent as well as being much more prevalent, as in he casted tons of games on end in a time frame where he was basically the only english caster of relevance. I really admire him for his effort back then.

Irrc the whole Gem League casters were pretty good when they actually decided to cast seriously.

Exactly! The depth of his knowledge was simply unparalleled, I don't care what anyone says... He knew exactly what it meant when terran got an early armory, he'd say that it's for a (for example) 11:30 push, and he was right almost all the time. What's also forgotten is that he was casting as a beast during the last few seasons of proleague, it was particularly ridiculous during the winners league, he was casting almost every single pro game...

Random serious question: When was the last time Sayle regularly casted?

Can't believe he wouldn't be all over this tournament if he has been casting recently. Kinda late in the game for him to jump in now, I suppose, but would definitely have loved to hear him cast JvF.

Best Part
Chat: Why did you keep pumping zerglings even though you didn't scout proxy 2 gates?
JaeDong: I get chills when the opponent does something funky.

That's exactly what Flash said too! the "Chills"

He also explained why he went hydra all-in in second game.

"I couldn't kill the probe fast enough. I killed it after speed upgrade was finished. Right when the probe died, my drones hatched. Stork saw it. At that moment only thing protoss can think that the zerg is getting third hatchery, taking an expo. So I pulled back the drone i sent to get expo and decided to go hydra all in."

Third game.
When I saw that the probe and zealot position terrible I clicked his base right away with lings. When my 3 lings were running around in his base, Stork's best choice would have been leaving 1 zeolot behind and sending 3 zealots out. That puts me in a bad spot. But, Stork knew that I like getting lings early and killing zealots in the middle of the map so he didn't. I knew that he knew that i like getting zerglings. So i just kept on pumping out drones and building hatcheries. At that point, I couldn't lose the game.

JD was in Stork's head entire series.

JD explained it with more details especially about protoss's pysche and, it really showed why he never loses to Protoss in bo5.

JD also said that he built spire just to show it Stork.
"Stork knows I love getting mutas mid game. I knew he knew that. So I decided to get none and Stork built cannons and DA bc of it. Which put him more behind."

Basically JD did everything he normally doesn't do and Stork prepared accordingly to what JD normally does.

If you want small details. Zeus is your man. He is fucking amazing at analyzing games and explaining in ways that everyone can understand.

Out of Bisu, Jaedong, Flash and Stork, the fact that Stork got a date with jiyoo, I would say he is the true winner.
