commentating doesn't make you a better player. Thats akin to saying commentating basketball is gong to make you a better basketball player. Yeah maybe you have an advantage on a 12 year old but against any real player who trains your commentating wont help you at all. We all love day9 but some people take too much of what he says as gospel
That comparison doesnt work...basketball and traditional sports rely mostly on natural ability that 99% of people just dont possess (along with tons of training and practice of course). Starcraft is more of a thinking man's game and you can get further simply by having a very good grasp of the game.

I can´t imagine Day9 being very good, he took weeks (months?) to get into Diamond when the game was new which tells me that he´s one: not very good or two: plays too little. Or both.
Most commentators are too bad at the game sadly. Artosis has good enough knowledge though - he doesn´t say random things and pray to get a way with it like most commentators.
Are you serious? Day9 had 90% win ratio throughout the beta and he's easily in masters now on an unknown account. He'd be one of the best foreigners if he weren't so committed to helping esports in the west.

artosis, if you dont realize this just by listening to one gsl cast i pity you. You don't understand the question...
Pretty sure you misunderstood him. He's most likely referring to Artosis' vast knowledge in the game (through playing) which clearly shows in his casts.

He actually has 3 different accounts, one for each race. To decide which race he plays, he rolls a die.

I think someone should organize a caster tournament so we can settle it.

"Guize, pls dun ztart dik measure war pls guise.
but here, let me start one myself."
I hate all this nonsense talk about the skillz. You guys treat it like it's something you can measure
Perhaps try to give us a context first about your definition of 'skill'.
Otherwise it's indeed another ___ measuring 'war'.

I think it'd be a tie between Artosis and Day9. Artosis is probably better because he has in-game experience, and knows how a player would react and such. Day9 is better at showing specific timings and the good parts of a certain strategy. Funday Mondays are also pretty legit :D
|
Idra is the best player that have casted in a big tournament, does he count as a 'caster'?
|
This thread is mainly theory-crafting about commentator's skill which none of us really know. Obviously Day9 has the potential and talent to be really good, but really we have no idea how good he is at sc2 or how much he practices. Once he graduates tho, i'm sure he'll practice a lot more.
Artosis we don't really know either, especially since he's switched races. We'll find out his skill level in the NASL.

Right now it's got to be Artosis, but it'll be interesting to see how good Day[9] can get when he's done with his masters
|
Artosis would be number one.

A-R-T-O-S-I-S
I'm rollin like goddamn baneling nest.
Strollin cuz he rocks that P V Z
Ballin when he casts on GOM TV.
|
I would guess Artosis, but really nobody knows how good Day9 is, right?
|
I'd say Artosis followed by daynine.
|
Don't count PsY out, he was selected to be one of the Redditors for the SCReddit tournament (won the damn qualifiers)... and he was literally on the verge of taking a game off of White-Ra. I wouldn't say that he's like one of the BEST player, but give the guy some credit when he deserves it.

Seems to be the consensus, Day9 is the wildcard.

Husky for sure.
U TROLLING ME LULZ? but tbh i think artosis since he can play with koreans and seems most active but ofc day9 and the other ones are also master standrad

of known commentators it'd probably be artosis because he's had quite a bit of time to actually just play, and will be getting more time to play when he no longer is doing Code A casting...plus his 'job' doesn't really hurt him because he's basically watching streams of players doing all the in vogue or new strats.
Tasteless / Day 9: being brothers probably take similar approaches to the game being brothrs i'd assume...which is extremely analytical, so i'd suspect decreased playtime would hurt them both enough they'd be somewhere after artosis who made GSL 1.
As far as the rest goes of pure commentators kind of a toss up psy doesn't play as much anymore and anytime you stop playing your skills will begin to degrade, and obvoiusly guys like husky and HD are no where near top players...DJwheat i'm pretty sure is the lowest when day9 was coaching him i'm almost certain he was like platinum.
