He runs a ton of logistics to put on all his online stuff, after all. His casting improved over time from mediocre meh to pretty decent, but I was never amazed. | ||

He runs a ton of logistics to put on all his online stuff, but I've never been amazed by his casting. The "problem" with Wardi's casting is that he has to cast, produce, observe and also be a streamer. You can tell he gets distracted during games sometimes because he has to solo manage a ton of stuff. I think he works better as a caster when he does events like this where he doesn't have to manage everything by himself and also solocast. | ||

If it were astrea vs inno they'd be playing in korea though | ||

Yeah, I remember listening to him at some IEM or another and thinking that his casting was much better than usual. That being said, I maintain that he's still better suited to a more backstage role. | ||

It wasn’t always that way but he’s gotten really good at it | ||

He knows the game quite well and provides good context about the meta when some other casters seem to get surprised by build orders and metas that have developed recently. | ||

There's this one sequence of things he often says though which generally involves thing X setting up and thing Y coming through.

Especially with the Korean meta. He just casts so many games he's a lot more on top of it than most. | ||

I think his casting is fine, but considering that he already covers plenty of online content, I prefer to listen to some other guys during the major tournaments. Since he seems competent at the producer role, all the more reason to let other people cast. Catz, for instance, has a style that I really like and we don't hear anywhere near as much from him as from Wardi. | ||

Everyone is certainly competent at their job and even quite knowledgeable but to me, the online crew of ZG/Maynard/Wardi/Feardragon really don't bring much consistent entertainment/excitement, which kind of like the players, has been missing from the scene. Just my opinion, I'm really appreciative to everyone for keeping SC2 going and Wardi for being the one man wrecking crew of online tournaments. | ||

Well you'll get the chance to hear a bunch of the caster pairings out of the War Chest Team League. | ||
