Interested to see Classics response. Gold bases are quite hard to play against a competent player.

All casters have some semblance of analysis and moments where they can explain something pretty well. It does seem to depend on the league they cast or the race they play, though. No-one is totally horrible but no-one is really insightful like when Apollo predicted mech after someone (Mvp?) built four barracks.

It feels really fake to me. =/

And I know there are moments where he's just kinda lying to make it sound like he's been invested in SC2. I don't even expect him to be some hardcore SC2 follower, but it's just weird when he says stuff like "Yeah, Frozen Temple, the map that's been around as long as I can remember."

(Frozen Temple's Competition Span: 2016-03-28)


I actually think he's quite funny.


he's funny. he's basically tasteless last year getting by on charm and not being as invested into the game and knowledge of it.

also maybe it was just a joke "as long as I can remember"


Without trying to be mean... what else are casters right now? Occasionally Artosis or maybe Tod will give us a bit of analysis but generally all casters are on the same level. Maybe I just like Rapid because I haven't heard his jokes a thousand times and his references are a bit fresh. In the absence of an Artosis I'll gladly take a poor man's Tasteless.

Team WCS the world without korea has some pretty good analysis going on, I like Rotti's as well for instance (also his anti typical caster memory)

My problem with them is that they cast like they're completely oblivious about the Korean meta. The first time Rotti saw ling/bane into brood lord in WCS he had no idea what to say. Even though he tweeted about watching the SSL finals.

It is getting a bit worse I did notice that, they lost some passion I fear..
I Protoss winner, could it be?

Well, Apollo had a near perfect grasp of the game in HotS though.

I'm confident to say that that fake Overlord wouldn't have worked against me.

Apollo isn't a caster anymore though. Which is a total waste because he was better at that than at whatever he does now.

I guess I'd be less critical of the "hype" casters if we had any analysis casters to go along with them. As it is, I feel like we're missing out compared to what we used to have. I really enjoy analytic casting, and having two people both just fake-shouting and calling stuff incorrectly can distract from the games.


Holy shit, nice drops Dark. Classic seems kinda crushed after that last game.

Mmmm I like this approach from Classic. Ling/bane/ravager feels like an army that has to fight before protoss gets to a mass immortal/storm army, but with this setup I don't think Dark can fight
