There are 3 Caster Duos for the IPL3
They are:-
- CatsPajamas & Doa
- HDStarCraft & PainUser
- djWHEAT & dApollo
In my opinion, djWHEAT and dApollo have the best synergy. On one hand, you have djWHEAT, who is a super veteran in the casting world. I remember the first time I saw djWHEAT (2007 BlizzCon StarCraft: Brood War Invitational) cast and was just blown away with his knowledge and enthusiasm for the game. On the other hand you have dApollo, a former professional C&C player (2007 WCG C&C Champion) so he is no slouch in the RTS genre. Also he's British so it's just nicer to hear him speak. No disregard to the other 2 casting duos of CatsPajamas/Doa & HDStarCraft/PainUser. I just feel that djWHEAT & dApollo work best together.
Let me know which duo you prefer and why.
I'll put a poll up as well to see the results. So vote, and then tell me the reason for your choice in a simple post.

Wheat and Apollo are simply the two best casters at the event, and they also have a nice chemistry with each other, so in my eyes it's no contest.
I have to say I'm a huge anti-fan of the usual trio of IPL casters, but Doa and CatsPajamas worked surprisingly well. It seems Doa is capable of quite intelligent commentary when he's not being overshadowed by Wolf or interrupted by Moletrap. CatsPajamas has always been a decent color commentator, so it's nice to see that Doa could fill the analysis role. Plus, they're freaking hilarious.
HD and PainUser though...I don't even know, man. I like PainUser when he casts with DjWheat, but it seems like whenever he's alongside someone who doesn't know what they're talking about, he starts slacking off and acting like a totally different person to get on their level. In my opinion this is the worst casting duo in all of SC2 history. HD says stupid stuff, PainUser rolls with it, nobody benefits.

I don't mind any of them, but the lack of knowledge of HD is kinda annoying.
|
I think they all did a great job!! Love the event so far!
|
i like that they have plenty so none of them lose their voices
|
DJWheat is always number1 fo me

If anything catspajamas has the most lack of knowledge, he is gold - diamond last i saw and HD is a master league player..
|
doa and catspjs get my vote as they are a unique but awesome pair

This.
Which puts them last in my book. Also HD over 'hypes' certain things I guess? It always seems like painuser says "I don't know about that" to kinda calm him down?
All in all though It's not like I cant' stand to listen to any of them. They all work.
|
Painuser is just not a caster... I am not sure what he can do to improve, unfortunately. He would have to relearn his entire vocabulary and way of talking to be entertaining on that stage..
Wheat and apollo by far.
|
catspajamas and doa very easily. I love doas nonstop humor :>
|
Really don't like PainUser and HD, but that's just a personal preference. I think CatsPajamas and Doa work very well, with djWheat and dApollo a close second. 
|
painuser catzpajamas is great
i love catz humbleness and how genuine he is. he isn't afraid to be the guy allowing the other guy to speak. and painuser knows a lot about the game. shame they had to split.
|
Wheat and apollo for sure. I actually also liked cats and doa but could only vote for one. HD and painuser tho... just don't really come close to doing it for me.

Painuser is my favorite caster, even better than Day9/Husky.
|
I like djWHEAT and I like Painuser.
But since we're voting for duo, I'm going to have to go for CatsPajamas & Doa.
|
I like all of three duos, but HD/Painuser is one level below the other two imo... not saying they are bad, but as stated before, HD's seemingly lack of knowledge is annoying sometimes...
On a side note, DoA is probably the funniest caster around!
|
DJWheat and dApollo easily.
I actually quite like PainUser, but HD makes so many mistakes that I'm constantly taken out of the moment (even with PainUser doing his best to correct him), and talks far too much about his personal experiences which also takes me out of the moment (since I know that his personal experiences are those of a low Master, a million miles away from those he's casting). Also, 'casting reactor' doesn't quite have the same ring to it as 'casting Archon', lol.
CatsPajamas and Doa are alright, but don't given enough insight/analysis for my tastes. I feel like they're both competing to give a play by play.

Is this really necessary?
I love DjWheat though.
