Stop with the USA USA chant shit. Further offenses beyond page 493 will be met with bans. You've been warned.

dApollo one of the few casters that obviously does research on players before he casts their matches (xHydrax on YT also comes to mind). mad respect! (why don't other casters do more of this??)


Apollo has the advantage (I guess) that he isn't just a caster, but also actually a rather active progamer, which I think does give him a advantage on having such information ready (from experience), but also on gaining such information (he is in a proteam from which he most likely can draw alot of information from and has alot of contact through this with other progamers and perhaps "whole" teams).

On top of that, he is rather new to the casting scene and I guess he knows his role as a caster, giving out insight not only of the tactical game from the progamers, but also in their history of matches, habits in that and alike.

From there on out it's just him being a super, and cute, good boy that will do his homework. ^ ^

That is my general take on it and I love him for it as well. xD


No idea if these advantages that I believe Apollo on this really is the reason why we don't see alot of other casters doing the same, just a theory.


It's got like almost nothing to do with being on a proteam, yes playing at a reasonably high level helps but that's not the reason he's able to know that MMA likes to do X in situation Y or Stephano does B in situation C. It's because he not only likes starcraft enough, but takes his job as a caster seriously enough to actually keep up and watch lots of events. There's no excuse for Doa to not know anything about how Stephano plays when coming to a tournament where he's heavily featured, just because he's in Korea. If Apollo can be aware of everything from euro tournaments to GSL to NASL/MLG, then someone who's meant to be a full time caster who only works like 3-4 days a week should be as up to date.

It's literally as simple as who bothers to put in the most effort.


I said that Appollo has a advantage, not that it's the sole reason for him doing his homework as a caster for the matches he needs to cast. I have pointed out that the rest (aside this advantage I think he has) is because he knows his role as caster and does his homework.

In the end it was just a theory, that's all. You don't have proof for anything concrete about this, I don't have any proof for it either, so whatever we both put forth is a opinion/theory crafting, pure simple as that in my eyes. xD

Puma is a good Terran. Probably Top 10 in Korea. However, since he left TSL he's getting worse. He'll probably be Code A level.

Which is better than code S... sometimes?
You can't really rank someone like that.


Some great Code A player can be Code S, but Puma is close to that, but he did not even qualify for Code A anytime before when he was in Korea, So he is just about mid-tier Code A player at best.

No, sadly stream 5 has been lagging a lot for everyone during the whole event.. I hope justin.tv can get their shit together someday. Especially when the main stream runs fine.
