I feel like I'd actually enjoy PainUser with djWHEAT the most because of their consistently good casting. All the other casters do good jobs, but I've still got a few gripes. Doa has no confidence and always botches his jokes. (I do feel, however, that he works very well with CatsPajamas, as he isn't as high-strung as Wolf or Moletrap.) HDStarCraft makes a habit of calling fights completely wrong and has huge, gaping holes in his knowledge.

Yes, typically television casters/reporters are former professional players.

edit: also this is a poor analogy because in a physical sport its possible to have excellent game knowledge while being physically unfit to play (IE if you're 50 years old or something) but in a strategy game knowing how to play well is the same as being able to play well.


I disagree. People can have amazing thoughts and knowledge over this game or any game to that matter, without having to be able to turn that into actually playing well. An example could be said to be day9, who has an amazing knowledge over this game but maybe could be said that this doesn't directly turn into being very good at the game when playing.

I agree with the disagreement. Mechanics (fundamentally APM / multitasking) are required to be good at this game. They are the equivalent of physical fitness in Stacraft. But strategic insight is what you need to be good at casting, and it's obvious that HD got in masters by riding his mechanics, not his decision making.

A similar argument has already been made for map makers (you can find it in one of the excellent map-making guides on TL, I can't remember which). Knowing how the game is played does not equate with knowing how to play the game.

djwheat gets my vote, simply because he knows what he talking about and has great insight into the games that others on that list do not.

A vote for CatsPajamas and Doa, simply for the added humor to the casts. I really liked it as a change of pace from the analysis. I know in a lot of other professional sports like basketball and american football there are often 3 casters instead of just two. I think a good humorous duo + a good color commentator in the same vein of having coach knight for college bball, or when day9, artosis, and tasteless commentated together at blizzcon.

My favorite combination of casters oh wait I don't care about them, I just want to see some good games. I think the whole obsession with casters is absurd. It's the players that are important. If Huk plays a game and I have a problem with the casters, I'll be happy to listen to some nice tunes instead. I don't need someone telling me what is going on since I am in fact watching the game.

I can't stand Doa in GSL where he has a role of a play-by-play caster so listening to him in IPL where he creates himself as an SC2 expert while he clearly is in gold league at best makes me wanna mute the stream. Wrong calls, absolutely no understanding of the game whatsoever, focusing on meaningless parts of the screen, no ability to predict by the openings how the game is going to look like and what the players should be doing to get an advantage adds no tention whatsoever, enthusiasm of an accountant, terrible jokes - this is what Doa is all about.

CatsPajamas has been doing great and he kinda saves the games casted by Doa. Best combo is Apollo and Wheat, they're awesome. Voted for Painuser and HD tho 'cause they don't deserve 3rd place.

djWHEAT is so awesome. I really think that WHEAT + Day9 is the only combo that even approaches the quality of Tastosis.

If Wheat's voice didn't make my ears bleed I would totally vote for him and Apollo. As it stands, had to give the vote to HD and PainUser.

Wheats voice grinds on my ears too tbh, Apollos mutilation of the English language is hurts my soul. But they're all listenable. I'm really thankfull they didn't wheel in day9 at least, to be fair he does a great job of keeping the US ladder soft.

Out of random curiousity, what do we call Rotterdamm and MrBitter? MrRotter? They are my favorite combination in SC. Other than that I am fine with anyone else as long as it's not HD.

To be perfectly honest, his lack of game knowledge doesn't fit well with utter lack of charisma. I hate to insult someone like that but he just isn't good at all, and for anyone that says he is a really good player need I remind you that he couldn't make it past the first round of an MLG open bracket.

Individual ranking
1. DOA (really improving fast!)
2. Apollo
3. Wheat
4. Cats (doesn't seem to know much TT but sports-y feel)
5. HD and Painuser tied

Have you listened to Apollo/TotalBiscuit at a Dreamhack event ? They are amazing too.

I like Huksy/Day a lot too, they will rival Tastosis once Day stops saying "oh no, oh no" over Husky whenever something happens. Unlike you, I feel that Wheat doesn't bring anything in the Wheat/Day pair ; he does bring something when he's paired with Apollo however, and is a very good solo caster.

I like HD starcraft, i think he is a good caster
I dislike painuser. he is knowledgable about terran but obliviuos about the other two races
his bias is overwhelming

I voted for DJWheat and apollo just because IMO painuser brings down the HD duo
