EPTSecond is probably Duke Nukem. I don't know if Duke is casting SC2 games, but he makes my list for second best caster. Duke just needs an English accent to be complete
So, who is your favorite caster?

Why not start a "best casters besides Day9" thread? you'll get better responses I watched totalbiscuit and hes really good for that style of commentary; I just like Day9's style more, personally | ||

TheGunrun has the best voice, but is lacking some of the insights of the game. i really expect alot from this guy in the future. | ||

Day9 HD Husky Tasteless My favorite comment though has to be whenever Husky describes the queen as punching or slapping around ground units. It makes me laugh every time. | ||

So being a good analyst and a compelling play-by-play guy are important parts of being a caster. It's rare to see both of these skills together, which is one reason why you see pro sports matches on TV and radio have multiple broadcasters, with a division of responsibilities between the "analyst" and the "play-by-play guy". I think Day[9] is the only caster which has *both* of these qualities down pat. He is obviously really good at providing deep insights into the game and helping mid-level players understand high-level play, but just take a look at his recent daily where he narrated a 2v2 among his housemates to see how much of an entertaining play-by-play guy he can be. That's why he's such a great caster. In comparison, many more casters are stronger in one or the other. HDStarcraft gets a lot of flak here for the depth of his knowledge, but I think he's a tremendously great play-by-play guy, perhaps the best out there. (Husky is good at play-by-play too, if sometimes a bit to heavy on the sarcasm) On the other extreme, Gretorp is super-knowledgeable and insightful with his analysis, but I find him pretty boring as a play-by-play guy. I don't know if he was just really tired having to wake up early for the Europe-Asia showmatches, but whenever he talked his voice made me want to fall asleep...partly because *I* was tired after waking up early for the Europe-Asia showmatches. | ||

He's been kinda good together wtih Gretorp, though, because they can analyze together and Gretorp seems knowledgable and has a really pleasant voice. | ||

Like one of the players dances a little and it turns into a HUGE micro effort  I have a friend that gets really annoyed whenever this happens :D (he's also dissapointed with the lack of micro) | ||

I'd have to say the Raven. PDD rapes anything, it detects, and can use auto turrets. Much better than Storm or FG. : P Seriously, though, I love Day9! | ||

I can't stand either HDStarcraft or Husky for some reason, I always just turn off the sounds in the HDH and listen to music instead. | ||

Once Tasteless starts casting some tournaments, which in Artosis' site he said he will soon, this list could soon change .I love that terrible terrible damage though. | ||

stupid jokes and finding the smallest things so funny Him and Gretorp are an amazing casting duo aswell, loved the asia vs eu showmatch, can't wait for this weekends cast! I have to mention HD and husky aswell, altho I have come to dislike Husky quite abit when he's analysing his 2v2 games where he gets put up with lesser players, just really hate when people turn that elitist attitude on and bash on them. Sean had alot better perspective approaching lesser players when he casted his roomates game which I found to be just as enjoyable as watching him cast high-end platinum play. Chill and Diggity are also pretty far up there! Can't say I can name tasteless and artosis quite yet seeing as they haven't casted really anything since sc2, they were great back in broodward tho. But I'm only gonna base my perspective on sc2, so here it is! | ||
