In a lot of cases, it's just too hard to call. We have no idea how much Day9 or Tasteless actually play, for instance. 1) Painuser 2) INcontrol 3) Sheth 4) Gretorp 5) Artosis 6) Psy 7) Day 9 8) Mr. Bitter (can't decide if he counts) <-- Insert significant drop off here. 9) Tasteless 10) HD Starcraft 11) JP McDaniel 12) Husky 13) DJ Wheat (? I actually have no idea how good he is). <-- Chasm 14) Kelly Milkes <-- The Abyss 15) Total Biscuit Edit: added Wheat and Kelly | ||

I'm not counting Idra or TLO or guest commentators, rather people that commentate games on a regular basis and at their own initiative. In other words, people that actually want to known as casters.

They plays a much more skill oriented game in World of Warcraft, that alone will edge them out against someone like Artosis and Day9. They also have a huge amounts of Youtube subscribers, and why would you have that many subs if werent pro? + Show Spoiler + Let us see how many people actually click this spoiler to see that i was merely joking, i bet half wont and will bash me to hell and back!  If all casters put in time, Artosis and Day9, their BW backround gives them a massive advantage | ||

Never seen him play. Also, Kelly is pretty good, lot better than Husky at least. Not sure how good Psy is ... I thought he was better than the HD and JP tier, but could be wrong. I'm pretty sure Day 9 is really good, but I'm not sure how much he plays. I always get this impression that Tasteless plays less seriously than Day 9 and Artosis and his pro days are behind him. But he could easily be a high Master's league player and we wouldn't know it. As much as people bust HD's balls, he is a mid-Master's player. I'm pretty sure Husky is a mid-diamond player and Kelly is in the mid-platinum range. I actually have no idea if Total Biscuit plays our not. List revised.

Kelly is diamond on KR. I think it's safe to say she would destroy Husky. Doa is probably just below Husky's level, I think I read he was plat on NA and silver on KR. TB mentioned being in plat most recently. | ||

I'm pretty sure Day 9 is really good, but I'm not sure how much he plays. I also love a man who's comfortable enough with his sexuality to make the remarks he makes. I always get this impression that Tasteless plays less seriously than Day 9 and Artosis and his pro days are behind him. But he could easily be a high Master's league player and we wouldn't know it. I gather he 4gates all day from what he says.I'm pretty sure Husky is a mid-diamond player Husky isn't that good no, he also has a lot of weird ideas about the game, such as that if unit x does bonus damage to unit y, then surely x must counter y?and Kelly is in the mid-platinum range. Nahh, she won some female tournaments and is one of the best female players in the world right now. Her account says platinum yeah, but it has like 80 points, obviously she just got placed in platinum and from there on only played 4 games or something. Not enough to get to diamond even if you win all.I actually have no idea if Total Biscuit plays our not. He does, and everyone says he's bad, but I've never seen him play or have any evidence of his skill.Edit: As far as simple comprehension of this game, I would have to say PsY, there's a difference between walking the path and knowing it of course, but often he just comes with observations about it that no one makes but are still very correct. | ||

Psy is good enough to be just below the "also a pro player"-casters like iNcontrol and Artosis. HD is pretty solid too I think. TotalBiscuit claims he's terrible (I mean he's probably better than the majority of the players in gold and below but that doesnt really say anything). Even if he's shaping up on his knowledge the entire execution part seems to always end with disaster. Unless it's battlecruiser rush. | ||

It seems weird for me to say that incontrol is the best commentator purely because I think of him as a player first and a commentator second. However as far as players who also commentate go he is definitely one of the best. | ||
