First cast by Apollo I saw (what a great name btw) was Dreamhack winter 2010 and I've been a fan ever since. Why? Because he sets the standard to which every other caster from now on must be judged. And this is a good thing for esports in general and SC2 in particular. Apollo can make a tournament better just by adding his hard work, intelligent insight and personal experience in a package made even more impressive by his articulate enthusiasm.
How does he rank among the current top casters? I would venture so far as to say that he is number one, slightly edging out Artosis for the top spot. Artosis on his side has however found the perfect sidekick in Tasteless and whether Apollo finds his own perfect sidekick, or even wants one, remains to be seen. He does make all his co-casters better, as you are all probably aware already, and which is, of course, the mark of talent.
And to be honest, there is quite a gap from these two top casters to the rest. Surely, no doubting the enthusiasm of other good contributors, we need more than just "good", we need the insight, the hard work, the preparation, the dedication, the part of being not just a caster, but an educator, one who spreads wisdom.
So here's a cheer for an autodidact of the first order and the finest caster currently working in SC2!
Apollo, I am a fan!
