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.

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..

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

Suddenly SKT protosses can upgrade, huh. Why was that not possible in SPL? :D

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
