Who is casting this?

His casting style is kind of awkward. He's telling the players what they should have done and even calling them stupid at one point. Isn't he in diamond NA?

I don't understand...why didn't youngwha rush to zealot charge? Why did he cut probes for like a minute?

Thanks for the entertainment, props to Orb for his marathon castings stints over the past few days. True dedication. Will watch future tourneys, and try to get others to watch.

I completely disagree. I loved his casting style.

Yeah he pointed out when a player made a poor move, but that's awesome. He clearly has very solid game intelligence and I actually learned a bit about terran/protoss openings from watching him which is awesome. There are good/bad things to do in certain situations and the caster pointed out what the player did wrong that made him lose. Not only does this make the game interesting because there is deep commentary, but as I said earlier, it helps newer players understand the game/state of the metagame.

tl;dr player makes a bad move, caster points it out and explains why it's bad. That is cool.

One request - could you avoid red color for protoss, or perhaps get just a little less extreme enhanced color version overall? In some occasions it actually becomes difficult to see the unit compositions (eg: zealots/templars; or ghosts within MMM ball). With a little less enhanced colors it's easier to tell different units of the same army apart, otherwise they tend to become, say, red spots all look-alike. Especially on 240p it becomes difficult.

I appreciate the enhanced color overall and accept it as a tool helping people who otherwise have trouble differentiating the colors, but I'm asking for a little adjustment if possible. Thanks for these great events anyway.

I think watching anything on 240p would make everything look like blobs red colour or not/enchanced colour or not.

Well, Orb mentioned that one of the points of enhanced color is that especially for 240p it significantly helps to differentiate the two sides. That's true, however it also makes it tougher to differentiate the types of units of the same side; at least as it is now, which I hope could be adjusted a bit.

Whenever a player that Artosis hasn't seen yet (or hasn't seen much of) has a good showing, he automatically becomes top 10 in the world. Don't take his ratings too seriously. He's a good caster and he's knowledgeable but he's a fan girl at heart.

Definitely agreed.

Holy shit, Naya vs Sage game 2... I haven't laughed that much since Idra vs MMA/MC. Hahaha.
