So I wanted to show what my caster tier list is, and maybe everybody can post there own. When we look at casters, there role is very critical to the success of esports in addition to the players. But just like players, not everybody can be the best. Casters have no problem saying whos the lesser player. So I would like to say who are the best and worst casters, so maybe some will improve after recieving feedback . Feel free to post your caster tier list as well.
Ill rank mine like a gsl format and add 1 more category for a very bad section. Since being a code B caster does not mean you are bad, it just means I can put up with your cast but im not entirely excited to hear your casting since its pretty average. For the very bad rating it means I literally want to mute the stream.
CODE S CASTERS
Artosis Dapollo
CODE A CASTERS
Day9 DjWheat Catspajamas Total Biscuit Mr.Bitter Incontrol
CODE B CASTERS
Doa Wolf Khaldor Rob Simpson Tasteless Rotterdam Husky Painuser JP

hmm so its perfectly fine to rate players but not casters? how will this scene ever improve. Its like nasl thinking gretorp is not a problem.
This is based on your opinion, Tasteless is my favorite caster and one of the main reasons I fell in love with Starcraft and you rate him as code B? This is just your opinion and nobody should care what you have to say, you give no reasons or anything for why where anyone is.
Pretty much nobody should care at all whatsoever about anything you have to say about this because you offer no reason to and it is just your opinion that is most likely not shared by most people.

Well duder, its not a competition between casters, so you can't make that comparison. Also your not being constructive at all. Your just saying X is bad, Y is good, and stopping there.
I'm not gonna lie, I completely disagree, and I don't think I've ever had a moment when I want to mute the stream with any of these, save the IPL 4 finals for the couple times things were just horribly off, other than that I've always enjoyed all the casters ^_^. But I have to say I'd split mine in 2, 1 is the people I LOVE, and the other is casters I'm INDIFFERENT. Basically I like them, but don't feel are as good as the LOVE casters.
LOVE dayJ Tastosis Khaldor Incontrol DoaJamas D.Apollo Grubby TLO EG Machine in the OMG
(For BW) Sayle, Hacklebeast, L_Master, and Kiett because she is Sayle's young padawan lol.
Indifferent (can't say I've heard much from rob simpson, or wolf so i'll put them in the haven't heard) JP BitterdaM HD Husky Painuser Gretorp AskJoshy The EG OMG team (one more game) other than Machine and INcontrol
Yes this includes smaller time casters, but still it represents me.

We rate players because they are all competing against each other to be the best. So obviously, their skills must be compared. Now, unless there's a casting championship where we'll pit casters against each other, I don't see why we should rank casters??? I mean, I don't think casters set out to win against other casters. Sure, you can have your preferences and opinions, and should definitely give constructive criticisms and feedback, but a thread like this isn't appropriate and is basically casters bashing.
It's all personal opinion. I would have Rotterdam, Moletrap, and Gretorp higher. I like people with insight as to how to actually play the game, and these guys have that. I would have Tasteless in Code S with Artosis, and the truly good players, such as Day[9], TLO, other GMs, Wolf, for instance, even probably InControl, though I haven't heard him cast. These guys will always make good casters for color commentary, because their knowledge of the game is just so deep. That, more than anything, is going to always remain as a mainstay for me.
P.S. I feel like your 2nd tier is overall pretty weak, besides Day
Idk about Tasteless and painuser being on the same level...or djwheat being above tasteless either....but its your opinion. I just don't agree with your picks

i would love to go into reasons, but alot will not be taken as critisim and you guys will think its bashing.
For instance tasteless and why i have him as code B, the guy says the same things all the time, plugs twitter hashtags, has no game knowledge outside of a tastless build, is carried by artosis and can only say "i totally agree artosis" but since hes paird with artosis, people dont really pay attention because artosis is so good.
I can give more reasons, but since the thread is supposedly going to be closed, i wont bother.
EPT
it represents me.
