IdrA must still be pissed he wasn't invited to Blizzcon. I know I'd be if I were him.

Hopefully that anger/resentment doesn't carry over into his casting, or maybe it should, who knows.

Regardless, I'm super looking forward to seeing him cast.

edit - How does TLO get an invite but not IdrA? Seriously, wtf?

I'm getting this sneaking impression that IdrA's past actions/attitudes may have contributed to Blizzard not inviting him.

Haha, IdrA commentating would be neat to watch. If you've listened to his interviews, he's pretty succinct with his game analysis — quick short cause-effect, etc. If paired with the right co-caster and allow IdrA to speak more freely, it could be awesome.

IdrA is playing on Ro64 Day 4a, 3rd game, against "ChickenCombo". So it's not surprising they'd have more than two substitutes, probably a 4th just to be safe. Good luck to the guest commentators. Looking forward to the casts.

PS: The "grack" poke is pretty funny the first few days and I cracked up like everyone else. I'm sure IdrA got a kick out it too. Sadly, its repetition is starting to make this place sound like an elementary schoolyard full of impotent bullies.

XeqtR looks Korean to me, but he has a Scandinavian name?

Jørgen Johannessen waiting

Funny, my first name as his surname.

Also, please note that Johannessen in danish translates to Johnson since John is english for Johannes. And I cant wait for someone trying to pronounce Jørgen, danish letters ftw

AAAALSO Idra and Assem please cast it all :>

I wouldn't want to translate a guys name dude, his name is Jørgen Johannessen in Norway as well, "ø" is not a strictly danish letter.

Idra on TvT: Guys we have a garbage match coming up next, if the stream crashes, be thankful.

Lol, but I'm actually looking forward to Idra cast, I think his style will be more of the day9 analytical style.
They probably will have him casting zerg match ups mostly..dont know much about the other guys.

IdrA will obviously bring very strong analysis to the commentating table. How entertaining he'll be is a bit more up in the air, but the dry humour he brings to things like State of the Game gives me some confidence that his commentary can be all-around good whether he's bashing on people or not. Will be interesting to see!

This is gonna be awesome.
Shame they couldn't get Daniel Lee as well.
Imagine Daniel + Greg dual cast. Rofl.

Sounds great. And I think Jason Lee did a good job in the BW GSL. He didn't have the most knowledge, but he brought a lot of emotions into the commentating, just like the korean casters do

Idra commentating? Seriously?
I thought it would be boring to watch GSL without tastosis but now I'm extremely intrigued.

Maybe he'll make the same comment he made about PvP in BW: that they sit there hurling imbalanced shit at each other.

My vote goes for Jason + Greg. If Jason does the same from gom classics and with greg doing some nice insight this will be like hearing Korean commentators lolol.

IdrA is pretty much spot on everytime he's on State of the Game, if you put aside the terran bashing.

If he does the interviews maybe he'll be able to have the players personally apologize to him for their races.

Sure Idra has not raged or been bm to anyone recently but if something like that(any player not specifically idra) were to happen it could put a black mark on blizzcon, as well take focus away from the rest of the event.

(Not trying to belittle idra in anyway, i am just trying to look at this from blizzard points of view)
