This is exactly what Carmac wanted; The NA slumping hero is eliminated at the first round, which means lots of NA fanboys will not watch the tournament anymore?

MAKE HIM CAST

Look at this LR.

The last 5 pages are just about people with "United States" written next to them drooling because a 1-4 player that loses to 2 base allin from everyone is casting.

hahah, wow, so bitter. you really don't like idra do you? seems a LOT of people enjoy his casting though, regardless of his antics, "BM" and bad results lately, and I count myself among them. I'll enjoy this day of the Gracken casting for you

Could someone actually do what this thread is for, talk about what happens in the games instead of talking about Idra casting? I can't watch the stream and would like to know what is happening.

Isn't this thread for everything about the tournament? And idra casting is pretty big news i would say!
Just as idra said Supernova didn't prepare for the brood lords.
I really like the casting. Very soothing and insightful

Also, I feel the need to point this out:

60k viewers. Is this because IdrA is commentating? They didn't seem to get even half of thsi combined yesterday.

Apollo really using Idra's knowledge well. He's starting to become one of my favorite casters. And his voice so dreamy <3

Idra casting really well too! Of course he has complete knowledge so his analysis should be spot on. If only his play were as great as his casting.

Sure, but filling 9 pages with OMG IDRA IS CASTING, whether that statement is meant positive or negative is hardly constructive. Plus, I didn't see any posts about the games itself...

Could you be any less discreet for your hate of team EG? First trashing Puma in yesterday's LR and now Idra. No one has ever had a problem with his casting, why would it now be one simply because he dropped out? Why weren't you complaining about Kalaeris' knowledge of the game? Hmm ...

Goddamn it is SO NICE to have a pro player casting! They have soooooooooo much more knowledge than your typical caster. Imagine the future, where every caster will be a former pro player (assuming esports follows sports trends)!
