EPTI recently completed an interview with a SC2 commentator, PsyStarcraft, and he uploaded it to his channel. He's pretty entertaining to watch and a good Zerg player too

Part two: Nice interview! I have been following Psy for a long time, and he has seriously been consistently cranking out high quality stuff throughout the beta. The straight up quality of both is analysis and gameplay combined with some excellent humor sets him apart from the majority of other casters you will find out there. Definitely one of the major Gurus of the swarm, and I wish him all the best in this exciting time we have in front of us. Would love to see him get even more into the competitive scene though, he has been playing on par with some very strong players, but we know that there is a leap up from being top diamond to actually be a consistently strong player in tournaments. | ||

Yeah Psy's cahnnel is pretty awesome. I've learned alot from him, and his commentaries are pretty funny too. | ||

He has a good voice and gives solid, concise answers.. an overall enjoyable interview! I didn't like that he was inspired to be a commentator by thinking less of the commentators he watched.. also asking him what it takes to become a SC2 pro is an odd question to ask a guy who isn't and never was (no dig at him). | ||

I come from an FPS background so I mainly interviewed known people in the FPS fragmovie scene of Counterstrike, Quake 3 and Halo 2/3 so Psy was my first Strategy game interviewee. It's that background that made me want the form of intro, main body and funny credits since a lot of fragvids are like that and I hadnt seen it in a SC2 interview yet | ||

I've been watching psy since a few weeks into the beta. Watched all his vids, very funny and some pretty good insight :D Also been thinking about swapping to zerg, and will probably go through with it cause i know i have psy's tutorials as a bit of backup and reference :D | ||

One nice thing i like about him that he is always very calm is all his games, even where he is playing live. yea I'm surprised he didnt start flipping out in his 5 part game. That was epic holy crap lol | ||

I was depressed when he wasnt in the HDH#1 but now i have an underdog to root for. Of course if he doesn't somehow manage to Beat every top Sc2 player, i will once again cheer for IdrA!! | ||

I woke up this morning with tons of messages in my inbox about HDH2 when I didn't even know about the tournament! To those who suggested me, I'll try not to let you down =D Time to get some hardcore 1v1 practice going. Midnight release gogo! Have you just been lurking on the TL forums all this time without having an account? XD I know you talk about TL in your videos all the time and have been very involved in watching and producing content, so it sort of surprised me that this was your first post. Or is this just another account? | ||

Have you just been lurking on the TL forums all this time without having an account? XD I had another account, but the name wasn't ideal and I never really posted on it or anything. i played him a few times in the first phase... went 2-1 against him... he uploaded and commentated the one game in which he beat me and I made a ton of mistakes You probably rolled me too hard for the games to be entertaining enough :p There are a lot of wins as well that are just too boring to bother with. | ||

He's a good commentator and he's very creative with his gameplay and style. He's that guy that did those insanely cool baneling drops with some real style to it. :D | ||

What I would like to cheer about is that this cast imo really highlights that PsY is continuing to grow in his commentating skills, and I will still say he is THE commentator to follow for all us budding zerg players who want to learn more about the game. Congrats on your #100 PsY, and good luck further on! | ||
