Because they are two of the best casters? I can´t listen to most casters beside Tastosis because it´s too boring. But I can listen to TB even if he live casts an old woman crossing the street.

In the end it doesn´t even matters

Everybody has his favourite, and if someone really have to complain about something, why not at the tourneys homepage? But much more fun here I guess...

Amazing line-up and casters, good luck with the tourney!

I can't say I agree with you there. Especially regarding the "commitment" that Tastosis supposedly lack. Just wait until the "Sons of Starcraft" documentary comes out, then you'll see. I don't even know the half of it, but the stuff I do know about what they (Artosis especially) went through to get to where they are now is mind blowing. The anecdotes I've heard from the former BW players from America (on streams/shows etc) all speak to Artosis having gone through a lot to get to where he is. Sleeping on people's couches, floors etc.

TB and Apollo don't go on 5m ramparts talking about a lollypop they tasted in High School. This is what I mean about professionalism. Tastosis is the best outside the GSL (take their MLG Orlando or Blizzcon performances for example). In GSL I simply mute the cast the moment they get off topic, which is generally after 30s.

One of the best casting duo in eSports right now. Anyone who says otherwise is clearly in denial.

I guess I understand some of the dislike of either TB's accent or his game knowledge... BUT he's able to bring excitement to anything (I was entertained by him casting Paragon wiping repeatedly on some WoW content I've never heard of).

Add Apollo and you've got a very rounded team. For those that haven't seen them cast, their chemistry is second only to the archon itself (imo). Also, they're a well known casting duo in Europe so probably relatively easy to book (they also did the ROG tournament at ASSEMBLY summer).

I do miss some of the more "informative" casts that were prevalent when sc2 was newer..

I'd give some love to BitterDam as well. I think MrBitter and Rotterdam are two of the most underrated casters and one of the most genuinely entertaining duos out there. They have great chemistry with each other which is a very important trait to have when casting long shows where you have to be on all the time. Also, the "Grass..." show they just completed has really improved their casting of their off races as well and I feel that as they move through the Terran-centric show they'll become even more well rounded.

I don't want to be too down on TB and Apollo, it's just that there are a lot of really good casters out there and to try and put one above the other is really hard.

I didn't feel like writing out all the casting duos that are better, so i only put down 4. But yes, those two are good as well
