I think Dapollo is doing an amazing job with Wheat, mad props to both of them ;D, I actually think Doa is doing really good as well though together with Pyjama's both of them have a very pleasant voice!

Please IPL, not HD/Painuser. They are terrible. Even my friends who are new to the scene and don't really understand the game hate how often they're wrong and focus on trivial things while missing important events.

Maybe if you just got rid of HD

Wheat + apollo for sure. I like cats pajamas, but I've never liked Doa. I hate how he ALWAYS messes up senstences and cant get out proper sentence structure. It's super frustrating, as I do not see how he can get a casting career and cannot speak his thoughts in a manner than can be understood. Because of this, this combo is the worst there.

I like DJWheat and Apollo and hope they get to cast the final game.

I don't have much positive to say about the rest. I'd say IPL is overall a great tournament but its weakest area is the casters.

I was surprised at how much I like Cats PJ with DoA, considering I didn't enjoy cats PJ with Painuser very much at all. But him and Doa have good synergy/chemistry or what not. Djwheat and Apollo I like the most easily, and HD & Painuser... Well, I'm not the biggest fan, you can tell they're good friends but still I don't enjoy their casting individually and I don't when they're co-casting either. I haven't caught that many of their games though, so maybe they're better than I remember! ^_^

Wheat is definitely the best caster for any esports.

I also like Doa and Cats, they work together quite nicely.

I like HD and Painuser the best. Cats and DoA uses the "give a cheer [insert anything random]" waaaay too much, and Ive never really liked Wheat. Apollo is awesome though.

I can't say I prefer any duo, as its I enjoy listening to CatsPajamas & dAppolo with PainUser in a close 3rd.

I have to say I do like all the caster duos, but I think I enjoy CatsPajamas and Doa quite a bit which was a surprise.

DjWheat is good, but I feel he can be a bit too "loud" sometimes (but I do think he's still one of the better casters for new players)

Djwheat + Apollo for sure are the best casters! Incidently they're casting now!! :D

Cats + Doa I like the commentary, but Cats needs to look at the minimap more to follow the action.

I got into starcraft games via HD, so I have a lot of love for HD. I feel like he is great for the less knowledgeable viewer, except he should not use abbreviations to describe things. M&M? MMM? I'm not sure which one he said, but I know he said PF for Planetary Fortress. I mean it's not very articulate to say those all the time.

Painuser I have no qualms about, much improved from the booth casting I've seen from the IGN TV.

Doa & Cats
I got severely dispointed (2/10)
They were that loud group infront of you in the theatre who annoy everyone within hearing range.
First of all they had massive problems with analysing the games properly. Especially matchups involving zerg. They praised and gave FAR to much undesserved credit, natually I can see how this will happen on occasion. This was not "on occasion". Finally they were not entertaining, in the end I had to mute them (which means I lost the game-sound aswell) because I wanted to watch the game but I couldn't stand them beeing lame and wrong

HD & PainUser
Bad Chemistry (4/10)
This was a one-man archon
Oh PainUser, after an unsuccesfull career as progamer PainUser attempts casting. Those who can't play, they cast, right? I expected Painuser to fill the analystic role since HD is primarly a shoutcaster. With HD beeing the one taking lead and PainUser rolling over and just agreeing to everything I don't know what his function was? Overall they did okey. They might not have given the highest analystic cast but atleast HD did and said what he could and knew and he did it right.

djWHEAT & dApollo
Well Done (8/10)
Up there with Tastosis
djWHEAT just always manage to impress me. He is a rock and one of the few casters who isn't afraid to step up when he needs to and correct his co-caster if he accidently speek a major blunder despite it making him notably uncomfortable. dApollo has been steadily improving since DH both entertainmentwise and sharp analyses and are one of the best casters imho. Addtionally both of these people have the abillity to create great casting-chemistry with anyone they cast with. I got nothing but praise for these two, entertainment and analyses.

Wheat and Apollo would be my favourite. Cats has suprised me with how good he is. I still just cannot stand HD. He seems like a cool guy, but he has no fucking clue what he's on about. Worse still, he thinks he does.
