This event has so much potential. I cannot describe how excited I am about this. Even if they have some technical issues again, as long as one stream is up and they rotate casters around, it should be tons of fun.

Potentially best SC2 event to date?

It's gonna take an epic matchup to pull me away from whatever games Tastosis is casting.

Anybody else sick of day 9? I liked him casting at first, but hes becoming increasingly pompous while he casts not really adding anything to his cocasters comments. Just goes off on a tangent.

Tastosis is a welcome addition.

Show nested quote +

actually the Halo players/crowd love StarCraft, its just that the SC ppl hate on em lol.

A few quotes from Halo players on mlg forum
"starcraft this.......starcraft that........what about halo?
seriously, mlg you guys are selling out. how about you start getting things right for halo with settings and maps. get things right with cod by getting it on xbox. seriously selling out. "

"thats not fair at all. halo made mlg. without halo mlg wouldnt exist. sc2 is a new addition and its already getting so many upgrades. upgrades that halo should've gotten years ago. how can you expect growth for halo, without making any adjustments?"

I am not sure they feel exactly the way you think they do.

The SC2 community is sometimes like a woman in menopause.

Up and down, from murder to love in a blink.

This is great news, but this time I will need to see something before I belive the hype. I have already learned that MLG knows how to promote, now I want them to also deliver.

So I will keep the tears until the opening match stream day, and hope this will be a great show.

This is fantastic. Will all five casters be swapping around (Wheat & Artosis, JP & Tasteless, etc.) or will it just be the duo on one stream and the usual lineups on the other?

Already doing a great job making up for Dallas though.

I can't see the point of having all of the very best talent in the world there and not having a little bit of fun eh?

JP is a great guy and i love him on state of the game but is he needed as a caster now?

he seems surplus to requirements when you look at the calibre of casters around him in that lineup.

JP does a lot more than cast for us at events and online. He will be doing interviews as always, he will be casting in relief for both streams as well as consulting both streams. He is an amazing caster, knows the game and players well. He is absolutely needed in more ways than you guys know. These 5 guys are my absolute dream lineup and I am honored to work with them all.

Thanks everyone :D

We'll be addressing the issues from Dallas and what we're doing to control those variables in an upcoming post. Not announcing an announcement here, but just letting everyone know that there will be a detailed response on that front. Still finalizing a few details, so that part will be out in the next few days.

Also want to give a shout out to @MLGBen for working his ass off to pull this particular piece of news together. There's a lot of folks at @MLG busting ass. Tasteosis was his baby.

RE: Caster mix/max. Look for the official schedule in the coming week. We WILL be mixing them up, but we also want to make sure that the casting teams everyone is so familiar with get to cast together.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Columbus!
