Out of the three of you (Wolf, Moonglade, Brendan Valdes), you're likely the least well-known. Given how late you came into SC2 as a caster and with how few people knew you beforehand, could you introduce yourself? Who is Brendan Valdes?

Hello, my name is Brendan Valdes. I used to go by the ID Brendan which I felt was a little too generic given the other million dudes also called Brendan, so for the upcoming season I'm also going to go by the ID Brendan Valdes. I'm 23, from New York New York – the city that is – and I came to Korea 2.5 years ago in May of 2012. I had just won a raffle held by Azubu where the prize was being flown out to Korea to watch OGN The Champions season 1 live. I got the full VIP treatment: tickets, the tour, everything paid. At this point I was playing at the semi-pro level in League of Legends and had played at a high Masters level in Starcraft II.

I discovered that I really enjoyed everything about Korea, so after my stay was supposed to end I extended my stay for a week, which became a month, at which point I got in touch with Azubu wondering if I could work with them. They asked me to submit a Diablo guide (which I stayed up all night writing) as kind of a test, and when I sent it in they told me essentially ”Cool, you're hired.”

During OGN Season 2, one of the casters – Torch – had to fly back to the US for a wedding, so Azubu asked me if I could help out with casting The Champions for a while. I was ecstatic, casting OGN alongside Torch and Moletrap. Eventually SpoTV reached out to me about casting Proleague, and since I was playing a bunch of Starcraft at the time I thought ”Yeah, I can cast this”. I'd actually met Wolf at WCG in China, so to make a long story shorter it's kind of amazing how things worked out with me eventually ending up on the caster's desk next to Wolf, casting Proleague.

lol Moletrap. thanks though, that was really interesting.

i'm gonna hold on to the idea of Tasteless raising him though. it all makes sense, Artosis became a father and Tasteless got jealous so he got himself his own kid, and now that he's a dad, he felt the need to grow a majestic beard to assert masculine dominance and further differentiate himself from his chubby little brother. the Plott thickens.

He is faceless though. They had to paint him a fake face before interview. Paint hasn't dried up yet and that's why it was so shiny.

Violoet has the shiniest face I've ever seen, definitely not faceless.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

On that topic someone should ask major about sun and moon.

Valdez will save esports and avenge his adoptive fathers death after tasteless dies defending esports from Riot or some shit.

I think it's because he doesn't wear any makeup on stage.

Its not that simple. I'm half expecting someone to come on and say Major is a no show. Then hear afterwards that he fell asleep in the lobby playing pokemon.
