I agree with (what I'm seeing the majority of people are saying, that Whiplash is doing a better job thus far than SNM. There's definitely room for improvement for the them both, and I hope that they will take any criticism in a constructive manner in order to make the viewing experience more enjoyable.

They either need to get a microphone that doesn't pick up the lip smacking from SNM, or he needs to cut that shit out. Seriously driving me insane.

At this stage in the game there's basically no excuse for having such shallow insight. People watch these casts to either be entertained or to learn more about the game and these casters aren't doing either.

I don't understand the hate directed specifically at SNM. They're a terrible casting duo, but I'd say they're about equally terrible. SNM has a little more trouble coming up with coherent sentences (although both fumble their lines constantly) and his accent is kinda weird but whatever.

There are moments where you can see they are improving, though, and I think it will be fine towards the end of the season/playoffs (if proleague keeps them for that long).

I still think moletrap is "over-hated".

Doa would have been good but there was some controversial issue with something he said, I think, I'd like to hear/read it again if someone will post a link for me. (Apparently I don't care enough to search right now) :Þ

I just hope we have better casters next season, that's the main thing. Please though, people, please don't attack the people personally. The main gripe for me is that there are definitely more deserving and suitable people out there who aren't tied up in other casting jobs regularly (so not necessarily 'big' names).

Unfortunately these two don't have the sort of personality needed to cover their technical casting (there's nothing wrong with this, most people don't. Simple as that). They either need to significantly improve their game knowledge, and start to push that angle while casting the matches, or they just need to flat out be replaced. Wouldn't care if this were some amateur league, but it's fucking SPL...

The main thing that annoys me is when Whiplash says "sentray" instead of "sentry".

They lack of charisma (the way they speak is very boring) and game knowledge (misjudging even simple situations). They need to improve in at least one part immensely.
It's sad to say, but they have absolutely nothing going for them right now.

i think they r better than tasteless

just because tastelss is loved by many sc 2 fans that doesnt mean he is a good caster.
with 'um (x1000 i hear him say -___- so fucking annoying, be professinal and learn2speak)...duhhh...i think...derrrrrrrrr....its gg guys (wtf? then, why the fuck am I watching this game right now....u took away my excitement)' i thought i was hearing some retard trying to cast sc 2 matches.
only because artosis' covers the details of the games, tasteless gets away with his shitty comments and casting.

anyways back to the topic, SNM and whiplash are pretty decent IMO. yea SNM kinda bullshit sometimes, but give that guy some breaks, i think he will be lot better soon.

as for whiplash, he needs to minimize his lil mistakes, such as miscalling names of the player, color of the players, or if TvZ or TvP -___-;;;; lol. if he can fix his minor mistakes, he will be a great caster.

PLUS, SNM needs to say 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH' ...idk why he stopped...

Moletrap isn't as bad imo, and while I think SNM has improved a little bit. He still is far below a reasonable standard to be set for an English-speaking proleague caster. Fine if he was purely just a translator. Whiplash is coming into his own and more or less establish an identity I can relate to a bit positively though. That isn't to say Whiplash is infallible, both make their mistakes, but seems like SNM despite all his efforts still fumbles things quite often.

Really wish they'd bring Doa along, whatever the reason, it can't be that bad can it? If he were to replace SNM, that would be a huge improvement.

Moletrap is a delight to hear when you compare him with these two

I don't understand the hate, I really don't. They're not the greatest, but they're not painful to listen to.

I would take moletrap and Doa over these two. Also the 2 second lag on the audio to video is rather annoying.

Hell, I would even take Apollo and he literally annoys me to the point of muting him.

Please don't bring Moletrap into this. Or other casters for that matter. This is about the proleague casting duo who are, imho, improving slowly but steadily. I don't think SNM's probem is an accent. Im' pretty sure it's some kind of speech impediment. He seems to have trouble with the letter "R" and has to put extra effort into it and that affects his overall fluency.

Both need to learn the game inside and out. Before they do, they need to stop making too many calls about what the players are doing. I really hope they are not reading this thread. It's pretty far from constructive. This is borderline hate thread.

edit. Apparently he is korean which could explain the R.

Korean accent does not mean speech impediment @__@
