The main issue is that day9 is sort of forced to dance around some things HD says because they are incorrect and he can't outright call him out on it but also cant just agree because it would damage his own integrity.

Day[9] has always been good at dancing around questionable statements, though. Just like his brother.

I think everyone needs to relax for a bit and chill out.

A lot of the opinions posted are not well thought out and kinda rushed,

I think everyone needs to give the casters (esp. HD and Husky as this is their first) more time and then reach their judgements when they have seen more.

I appreciate Husky's energy, albeit sometimes excessive. I don't dislike HD as a person, but he's essentially the John Madden of SC commentators -- he simply tells me what's on the screen. Husky can miss a thing here and there, but you can actually tell he's watched a lot of replays and has a general sense of the "meta game"/trends. I think a balance of insight and excitement is necessary, thus I would put Husky behind Da9 and JP simply due to the latter pair having more experience live.

I mean, if I just wanted some guy to quietly tell me what's going on in monotone, I would just watch the replays and talk to myself.

The simple fact that our commentators take time to actually read threads like this and take the constructive criticism proves that they are awesome. Seriously.

I personally don't mind any of them. They all seem to be doing their jobs pretty well, you guys are really just trying to over-criticize things.

Agreed. I would have agreed with this list months ago when MLG was first starting their king of the hill series, but JP has improved tenfold since his original casts. Now he can definitely hold his own and is continuing to get a better understanding of the game. 1 4 2 3 imo.

I honestly think most of the problem with HDH is they aren't good alone or with each other, because there styles are way too similar. Paired with Day[9] however and they are excellent because you have two different styles meshing together perfectly.

Also I think HD has a better voice then Husky, I find Husky's voice very annoying to listen too, it's not a good voice for commentating.

I think its more personal preference. They are all doing a fantastic job and keeping us (at least me) entertained. I think some of the differences are overplayed and all four should be commended for making it fun

I like when HD pitches his voice lower at the intense points of the game. He sounds hardcore.

Yeah, I've been really impressed with him.

You could really see the "Day[9] difference" in the last game of HuK vs CauthonLuck where he instantly recognized the no chronoboosting on the Nexus and late gas. I feel like if it were HDH they would have missed that. Seriously great casting by everyone there though!

i really don't like to be disrespectful, but hd and husky have absolutely no understanding of the game. i'm more tolerant of husky thank hd because husky's commentaries are more lighthearted and play-by-play than hd's analytical style. hd tries to be day9, but the problem is that hd's understanding of the game is about what you'd find in gold league. he makes a ton of incorrect calls, misses important details, sometimes he doesn't correctly call which player is ahead. obviously hd and husky are likable guys with a knack for casting, but they need to learn more about how the game works if they want to stay at the top of the commentary hill. it's simply annoying hearing them spouting false information to huge audiences filled with many lower level players who are going to believe them.
