i dont like the premier league casters that much. they go off talking about random things so often and are really bad at bringing hype and are just captain obvious in general.

Also, I don't like Nebula (his co-caster today). He only ever says anything obvious, makes irrelevant jokes, and when he does solo casts he turns the camera on himself, so you can't see the game, while he drinks some beer and makes some idiotic comment.

Same for me. Can't explain it so just preference I guess. On the other hand. One of the It's gosu guys... I think it's ayesee has a brilliant voice that I can listen to for hours. I can't talk about their knowledge because basically everybody has a better understanding of the game than I do, but through his voice he seems professional from the first moment I heard him.

lots of people forget how bad tobi's casts were over the years. sure his recent dota 2 casts are actually good, but for the majority of his career most people disliked his casts because of his lack of insight. luminous' solo commentaries ( not solo live casts mind you) are much much better than any other current dota 1 caster. he provides lots of insight into the game and how generally has an opinion on alot of aspects of the game( not saying their all right or anything). his dual casts are horrible though so every time he casts TPL its just downright bad. nebu1a's casts are usually much more laid back, when hes the solo caster he lets his personality shine out ( again, agree with it or not, thats his style, which lots of people actually like). Nebu1a's casts tend to be much more strategic when he does a "hero daily" where he basically goes indepth and explains things rather than being excited and basically blurting out whats on the screen (the majority of his casts) then again he still provides much more insight than tobi. tobi is notorious for saying nothing of substance and basically screaming at the top of his lungs things you can see right there, he is a play-by-play caster though so its to be expected. i actually think that ayesee ( ive only seen like 4 of his casts) is the only one doing the co-casting thing right, he talks his mind and continuously prods his co-commentator for insight, asking how the game stands, what their ideas are etc. i think thats the style most casters should emulate.

i strongly disagree: why would you want insight into the game that you already know how to play? For me when i listen to sc2 casters, its just dumb listening to their wrong analysis if they are no where near GM level. It happens to DJwheat, happened to Husky, itmeJP and so on... All those people has finally moving on to mainly focus on play by play casting which, to them, literally means reading food of 2 side on the unit tab. SC2 is boring at hell and i remember those guy the first time watching OGN casting sc2 for WCG was asking themselves: How could the Korean casts be so emotional?

To be fair if you watch BW now a day after you listen to sc2 casts, all you see is all-in 1 into all-in 2... nothing exciting yet the Korean caster made all the different. Tobi is, by far, the only english esports caster that could emulate what the korean did in BW which result the growth of esports in their culture for the past 10 years. Beside, if you want a good co-caster for him, just fill in a pro player such as maelk or synderen to provide more game insight.... Thats also how it worked in BW: retired ProGamers trasition into casters.
