Lol... You dont even know who they are.. "wow"
they are clearly terrible, and this guy's laugh is extremely annoying why would they get hired in such a huge event, no idea.
they are "clearly" not terrible as the vast majority like them, so dont state your personal opinion as fact please
there is nothing wrong with giving opinions about casters since they are the ones who suppose to make the game exciting and fail miserably at it
i actually like the fact that even though they are friends they're not all over each other's dicks wasting hall of the game boosting each other egos with thank yous and stuff like in the gsl.
I have this feeling that White-Ra didn't really care for this win, he looked tired, this tournament got delayed pretty badly, those electricity shut down's, regame. And i feel like its very hard to keep that performance for a long time (this is a 4-th serious tournament in a row). And in a result, today he played not top notch of his potential. And even the yesterdays games was sloppy some times.
But he still did well. This loose was expected, as for me
Even supply, two collossi vs. 5 vikings, even worker count. I also had the feeling that White-Ra had a commanding lead in the game and definitely considered giving him a win right after the disconnect but after reviewing the replay I decided against it.
The regame was definitely unfortunate though and I believe the series might have looked completely different if White-Ra had won that map. I'm sorry the disconnect happened...
Ye no worries, if white-ra deserved to win he would have won the series, he was in a similar position in the regame and lost it trying to break the contain

You should be able to find the rest First Episode is about CS and fnatic (alltough the commentary is REALLY boring), second episode about QL and cooller and rapha (better commentary) and they are doing the third episode on SC2 right now.

they do like a 30 min documentary about it. They already did 2 (about ql and cs though)
I really don´t like Rotherdam as caster, he is not funny, clever, "tense maker" or anything. Is just my opinion. The finals where nice, except for the 1st game on Delta.

Maybe because he wants to make money with sc2? Playing GSL doesnt earn you anything, unless you are able to reach the top spots.
So you're basically saying he doesn't believe he is good enough.
I think its more a fact, in europe your free to play whatever tournaments you want, make a decent amount of money even compared to the gsl without going overboard on practice and enjoy the fact your not in a foreign country on your own and semi socially isolated

Yep, maybe he just like.... enjoys being in his home country, with his friends, in contact with his family and so on?

No, what I am saying is that he surely knows that he is not guaranteed to make top4. And there is just this one tournament. You can loose it with one stupid mistale in a single bo1. Its just a huge gamble because GSL prize destribution is incredibly top heavy.
People are so overestimating the amount of money sc2 players make in Korea.

+1 to that.
He's entitled to have his opinion and express it. I'm no fan of Rottie either, nothing personal, some voices/laugh/personality suit you, some don't and taking time to explain why would be useless here. What's sad is that as soon as one expresses his opinion (which forum is a good place to do) some peeps have to get the guns out, telling him he has no idea what he is talking about (hinting that they do) or that his opinion doesn't matter because he's the only one thinking like that (where's the survey for that ?). Danger of spending so much time looking for trolls you gonna become one yourself.

Remember that is your own opinion which in itself basically means nothing. The majority of people love them.

In that case you dont say "they are clearly terrible" as if it was a fact. You say stuff like "I dont like these commentators for xyz reason".
