But he's still bad and he still should be replaced, IMO. Sorry I just don't see what's so bad about him. same, the haters just bash him with no explaination. His constant mispronunciation of words; his unfunny jokes; his repetitious vocabulary; etc. I love NASL and I want it to be the best it can be. It isn't the best it can be with Gretorp at the helm. He tries hard but his lack of vocab + malapropisms makes for a painful, painful listening experience. He's analytical. He has great knowledge of the game. He's a great straight man to iNcontroL's funny man. He does a better job than a lot of other casters can. Him and iNcontroL together are funnier and a better casting team than anyone but Tastosis in my opinion, and even that can be argued.
He's analytical but takes so long explaining everything because he cant form the words. His analysis other then terran is usually wrong. He directly dissagrees with what his co caster says(thats suppose to be a big no no). I dont think he needs to be replaced but to say top 2 casting team...nah

Of course it can be argued, opinions about casters are, well, opinions... There generally isn't any objective way of "proving" or showing that a particular caster is good, most of it comes down to personal preference. Personally, I can't stand listening to Incontrol; Gretorp's analysis seems okay, but his English is a little weird -- still, I've enjoyed him with TB and Mr. Bitter. But that's just my opinion -- it doesn't mean anything. People posting in LR threads don't prove anything either. 15,000 people were watching the NASL -- a dozen people on TL saying "Gretorp rules" or "Gretorp sucks" doesn't show anything about the overall opinion of the audience.
Sorry if this sounds aggressive or anything, it's not particularly directed at you, but at the whole "Caster A sucks / No he's awesome" type of debate that's been happening alot recently. Just saying I don't see the point in debating something that comes down to personal preference.

Since the post-game was so ambiguous, either player could have won and both casters would have still been correct.
They should not have even mentioned the game then. It is disingenuous to talk about a series as if it has been played (even without giving any specific info) when in actuality it has not, and it just confuses the viewers in a situation like this.

BTW, I don't hate Gretorp. It's just sometimes awkward to watch him, and it's also sometimes bugging that he cannot coherently talk about the game. However, as said above by dormer, I like him more than Incontrol as a caster.
Mr. Bitter is really cool though, loved him.

Easiest NASL liquibet ever today.

stop raging bout gretorp, come back to the ridiculousness that nasl has performed tonight. that is not professional at all, im still kinda waiting for the stream to come back alive.

Enough opinions do actually mean something, why do you think events all over the world try to get Day9 and Tastosis? Because even though some individuals may not like them the vast majority of what the tournament coordinators are seeing is that people like them. If they see a much more divided community over a caster like Gretorp he is less likely to get work in the long run, although there are some weird exceptions like Joe Buck.

I don't hate Gretorp, I just think he's terrible for the NASL. I never going to buy a ticket as long as I keep hearing him on the stream and vods. Even hearing him on the free stream turns watching NASL into a chore.

Did they show the last match?

same here. i thought i was being too anal about gretorp's casting at first, but it seems like a lot of people feel the same way. he is the sole reason i haven't paid for a ticket :\
only reason he's umutable now is because mrbitters has been casting with him.
