On top of a skilled players, a proper StarCraft II event requires skilled voices to commentate and analyze the games for the audience. For the two first ASUS ROG events we have been lucky to have one of the most popular and skilled casting duos out there, TotalBiscuit and Apollo, and this time is no exception; they will return. But since the demand for StarCraft II is growing fast we will be introducing an additional international stream with the higest level of shoutcasting. And next to the already two mentioned gentlemen in our caster-crew we also welcome mr. Khaldor and MrBitter to Helsinki, Finland.
