Artosis, he switched races from to while having a fully loaded commentating schedule and held his own with his new race against an OGs player in the code A qualifiers, even taking a game off of him, and this was after he just recently committed to playing .

Edit: My bad, I thought I heard he played an OGs player, it was Byun. My bad. Impressive no matter how you spin it. Byun, all the more better.

I would after you give Artosis and Day9 legitimate time to prepare. Put them on oppisite sides of the bracket too. Also throw Totalbiscuit out, hes like in the silver league. (pretty sure its close to a fact, and not an opinion)

Yeah, he plays Terran and said he could not remember the hotkey for an SCV when he was commentating once. It could have been sarcasm, but I think he was admitting his low level of play also.

It's definitely Artosis. The guys qualified for a GSL, and what he was talking about, almost qualified for Code A in the January season. He had Byun beat in late late late game but lost because of no detection (IIRC).

Ya how unimpressive taking a game off Byun, who then went on to lose 4:3 in that season's finals, and make it out of group stage in this season's Code S. Can't exactly fault him for getting manhandled by MC either. Probably makes it more impressive than any of the other oGs players it could've been.

Day9 - though Artosis is quite good as well.

We've seen him beat Artosis in SC1. He beat Tasteless in the SC2 showmatch. Plus he crushed quite a few of the other casters mentioned in SC2 as well, despite not playing seriously.

Day9 vs PsyStarcraft





Day9 vs HDStarcraft



Day9 vs HuskyStarcraft





Just in case this isn't a joke, all of those were pranks and the caster had no idea he was playing against Day9 so it's hardly fair You should probably post the one where Sean owned me with a mothership while pretending to be LisaNova as well XD

Also throw Totalbiscuit out, hes like in the silver league. (pretty sure its close to a fact, and not an opinion)

Artosis... his knowledge base of starcraft and starcraft 2 is profound. He has a great memory which is really important (he remembers friggin everything, even small details from stuff long past), and he is great with foreseeing possibilities, and builds.

Can't forget that he plays Starcraft 2 A TON (and BW back then), and at a really high level, and he also lives in SKorea (the SC/SC2 Capital of world), and almost every thing he does for fun involves SC/SC2.

Either watching, playing, or commentating, Artosis is consistently fresh up to date on all the new styles and etc.

Artosis is..... Starcraft

The caster - player hybrids are obviously the best. As for pure casters, I'm going for Artosis since he's really quite knowledgeable and plays frequently. Day9 would be good in my opinion, if he actually played.

It was an oGs player, actually. Artosis lost to oGskkOma (LittleBoy) in the Code A qualifying matches. Artosis lost to Byun (who was called Bleach at the time) in GSL1, when Byun played Protoss and Artosis played Zerg.

I've plateaued at 3200 with random.

This thread is hard to answer because who is a commenatator? Is Destiny a commentator? Is Combat-Ex a commentator?

And what is skill? Are we talking about results or theoretical skill? Or theoretical potential?

Fuck it I'll just answer Artosis.


That will probably be the best rank for all casters. Very impressive rank for a random user!

respect!


Artosis is 3279 in the NA server, and he was 3396 just 4 days ago.
http://sc2ranks.com/us/1251071/Artosis

As for the thread, I vote for Artosis if we define commentator as someone who spends more time commentating games than playing.

I'm not sure why so many people are mentioning Day9 when they probably haven't seen a single game of him playing SC2 for almost a year. His understanding of the game is undeniably good and he'd probably make an excellent coach for just about anyone, but that doesn't mean that his level of play is at the very top level. I believe he will probably be very good once he goes into full-time progaming, but as of now, he most likely lacks practice and is not that great of a player, which is why I think he refuses to show games of himself playing.


Not practicing doesn't make you a less good player, it just means you're out of shape and can't compete seriously.

If somebody was a top player at some point, and he's not too old (which Sean isn't), it's not something that just goes away. Couple of months with proper motivation is all that's needed.

In all honesty, I do think a lot of newer fans mention Day9 only because of his exposure in the community. However, I personally consider an accomplished top foreign BW player to easily have what it takes to rank above most active competitors in SC2 nowadays if he was serious about it and motivated to do it.




"Couple of months with proper motivation is all that's needed."

That's pretty much what I said.

"Not practicing doesn't make you a less good player, it just means you're out of shape and can't compete seriously."

Not being able to compete seriously right now means that you are not a good player right now, period. I don't believe that we're discussing "casters who will be be very good with 2 months of full time practice".

Probs Psy/Day 9. Both seem to have such an incredible understanding of just what to do when, and seem to be able to predict the coming actions of the players

Absolutely Artosis, no question about it, followed by Tasteless. Day just isn't practicing at the level Artosis is right now.
