Apollo = most valuable Starcraft asset in the world. He's incredibly articulate, his analysis is 99% of the time spot on perfect, and he's just a very likable guy. This combined with the rest of the production over at ESL / WCS EU.... Redeye, Kaelaris, Adebisi, and the amazing job the behind the scenes production crew does it all really adds up to being the most entertaining league in the scene.
I wish my local WCS AM guys would watch and take notes. Sorry but Terry the intern is cute and quirky and all.... watching them play paintball uhh sure thats alright too I guess.... The casters at NASL just don't have the same professional "This may be an e-sport but damnit we cast it feel like a sport!!" While still being able to joke around now and again without losing their professional, strictly business, feel. NASL guys, who I love btw... Bitterdam are one of the best casting duo's doing it.... they sometimes feel too laid back. Especially when Mr Bitter is talking with Terry the intern.
Watching EU and AM back to back you can clearly see the gap in production value and hence entertainment value between the two.
I hope I'm not the only one who sees it this way, and I hope the guys at WCS AM / NASL are taking notes and trying to learn from the current best in the business.

And to think I spoke to someone who says that he'd rather listen to Whiplash, Husky and Gretorp over Apollo's commentary :|

I do think that MMA is probably the only one that can stop Vortix, so if MMA gets matched up against a protoss in the RO8, Vortix should be able to win WCS EU.

Then MMA beats VortiX in the finals
actually that would be the funniest thing ever after all the complaining about protoss

gotta agree, i really enjoy the EU WCS way more then the US one, but part of that might be that it's not just koreans duking it out, but mostly actually europeans playing. that makes interviews way more enjoyable, but yeah, the EU crew is really solid, they all do a great job and work very good as a team. Keep it up team EU!!
