My 2 picks would personally be Day[9] and InControl... InControl maybe, but I think Day[9] has other aspirations beyond casting... since he's doing that whole wacky college thing and all >__>

I highly doubt the salary would be high enough for Husky to move there for. Does anyone know what it would pay? My guess is $25-30k

For 2 hours of work a day on low profile matches for a foreign web stream? ahahahahaha

I would guess way less.

I really can't see any current foreign casters realistically going over there at this point. Many seem to be rooted deeply into the western SC2 scene and imperative to the growth here.

Yes, unless the pay is really good (or could "potentially" be good; that is if GSL becomes huge later on.

Yeh there is no way any of the established casters would head over, but this way we get to see some new talent.

Well I thought I was shooting low!! Guess I'll keep my day job. If they can pay the players a collective $180000 a month (or so??) why wouldnt the casters be able to make 3-4k a month?

As a loyal GOM viewer, my 2 cents:
+1 for DJ Wheat
+1 for Husky (we need a SC II Dick Vitale, plus he could bring a lot of eyes)
0 for Day[9] (+1 if he changes his style a bit to be a tad less preachy (to the the Tastetosis level))
-1 for Jason Lee (My likelihood of watching the code A matches, which already low, would probably move to 0 in this case).
-1 for HD (He has a great voice, seems like a great guy, but I cant watch him because I don't trust what he says.)

Haven't heard a lot of casting by some of the other names being thrown around. I hope whoever it is brings some nice variety to the team. I love Tastetosis, but there isn't a lot compelling me to tune into the code A matches right now.

Very cool that they're expanding! I plan on tossing my hat in the ring, we'll see what happens... but either way it's great that they're doing well enough to bring in more people..

I don't understand why people keep suggesting Day9. He would only be casting code A matches and he wants to bring E-Sports to the west. It would also completely interrupt his own daily he puts out. Less Tasteless and Artosis is pretty worrisome though. A lot of the entertainment from the GSL comes from the commentating. This would also mean they wouldn't be commentating the new foreigners that arrive to compete in code A. I hope at the very least that Tasteless and Artosis will be commentating the team league though in addition to code S.
