LD is often biased and he's relatively bad at hiding it, I think. He cheers for NA and Chinese teams (and Alliance), it becomes apparent when these teams play against EU and CIS teams, which he doesn't seem to like. For some reason I think he's gotten worse in this regard over time, probably because he's trying to do more play-by-play and show more emotion in his casting now, nothing you can really blame him for. I personally find it very annoying, but I'm really sensitive to this kind of stuff, I get annoyed by bias with literally every caster. It's also way more annoying when the caster is cheering for a different team than I am, when the caster's cheering for the same team, it almost makes the whole experience better.

He definitely should tone it down, tho. I remember after Na'Vi beat Alliance in WEPLAY finals, first thing LD said was that it's just an online tournament and that it doesn't really show which team is stronger now... That's what us fanboys should say on forums, it definitely doesn't belong in a broadcast. It also undermines the importance of the tournament he was casting.
