Also doesn't know much about progaming in general, the only reason he's a decent caster is his voice/energy. I personally think that Artosis Tasteless and Day9 make the best casting trio ever, and need to do more shows together! tl:dr screw casting duos, 3 way all the way | ||

They said Day9 had other commitments and was invited, but declined. DJ Wheat and Apollo were the most enjoyable of all the casters. Catspajamas and Doa came close with their banter and interaction - however they didn't get as much love because they casted the earlier games (less people). HD and Painuser were pretty terrible - they were pretty biased for Stephano, which normally isn't a bad thing, but couple that with their lack of insight in the games meant that they made a lot of odd comments as to who was winning. | ||

His master league player. He streams on TL and he competes at MLG. he knows more than 85% of the people posting here. HD > Catspajamas < DoA < DjWheat > Painuser So my ranking would be DjWheat, Doa, HD and the two remaining last place. sry Therefore my vote goes to HD because as far as i see it he does not get the respect he deserves | ||

HD just says things that are completly wrong sometimes and at first its just ok he made a misstake, but it happens over and over in every single game I mean if he wants to be a play by play caster do it but dont try to be analitical and fail horibly at it lol at people saying HD has the most game knowledge behind painuser, appolo actualy does reaserch about the players and their playstlye unlike HD saying hero is a passive macro protoss, I mean come on -.- People who say HD has more knowledge than maybe apollo or whatever are dumb. But people who say HD is a bad caster are equally dumb my friend. Look at all those amateur casters on youtube. You will be like facepalming 24/7 coz of how bad they are. I like Tastosis more. I like Day [J]Wheat more. But HD is not bad at all. Hell, even day9 makes a lot of mistakes, sometimes even more than hd but people dont concentrate on day9's mistakes, they enjoy the casting. The way people watch painuser or hd or pajamas is wrong. They are only concentrating on how many mistakes they make and how many wrong things they say. Just enjoy them casting an awesome tournement ffs | ||

I think hd and pain was the best combo online leading into ipl3 but their performance live was a bit subpar. Whereas apollo and wheat who have done so many live events now are able to perform at 100pc wherever they go. Its not like tastosis is always 100percent either. Ipl 3 and this code s group stage was a bit low. The difference is that when artosis calls bio tvt a gimmicky temporary build he doesnt get ostracised as wrong and instead gets a cult following to spew those words in lr threads over and over. | ||

E.g. in the Stephano-TheSTC game on Shakuras he was like "OMG it's impossible for Stephano to hold his 3rd, in fact this could be game" just as stephano rushes out and roflstomps the terran army. This is just one random fail example ... once they missed that stephano triple expanded, complaing about why stephano does not expand... any casters make mistakes of course and probably it's impossible not to miss some drops and not to make a stupid comment once in a while. But for me the fail frequency of HD/Pain is too high... | ||

I am sure nobody in the right mind is asking for HD to be 100%. Nobody is. The prevalent consensus is that he made too many obvious mistakes that got to the viewers. | ||

He got jokes that remind me of tasteless in the old days (hope i do not step some feet by that one) it is not that i didnt like catspajamas cast i just think d'apollo would be better in combo with DOA. | ||

1) Catzpjs was the best IMO...very smooth, very professional. 2) HD was next best. As long as he isn't getting high on red bull and trying to be funny with stupid comments, he is actually really good. If he focuses on being professional he could be an amazing commentator. 3) Apollo was next best...nothing special...sometimes annoying and melodramatic, but mostly not bad. 4) PainUser...he's improved a lot, but he needs to avoid getting sidetracked off of starcraft and have a more up-tempo delivery. Seems too relaxed, casual IMO. He did a really good job with his interview of Spades though. 5) DOA...felt like he talked down to the players and viewers...almost snarky. Not a fan. 6) DJWheat. He stuck out like a sore thumb and was the only commentator I considered muting the stream. He's one of these guys that thinks that game isn't exciting enough, so they'll improve the stream by screaming and pretending to get excited over the smallest thing. I find that soo annoying... | ||

dApollo is a superb caster. HD is a terrible caster. Painuser is actually really good as well, but is being weighed down by HD is a big, big way. PU, you will never break out as a 'stellar caster' as long as you're casting with HD. But you are on that level, for sure. I know DjWheat is a fan favorite, but I've never really taken to him that much, although I will admit I thought he did a fine job for IPL3. This, and he was obviously being carried by dApollo who impressed me quite a bit. It's been said so many times in this thread, that HD's in-game talking is just too much to handle. Almost everything he says is either just wrong, or is actually contradictory to the actual gamestate you're observing. It is so jarring to hear him say thing like, "Stephano is going to have map control for a long time now ..." while, at the same time we're hearing the ridiculous commentary, his slow lings, product of a gassless FE, are getting roasted by Helions on-screen. His name is familiar, yes. He's got tenure, yes. But that's it. He's not a good caster, and in my opinion, has shown no signs that he is or will get better (more tolerable). He looks too young, he acts young, his commentary is not accurate, and his excitement is so disingenuous it makes me cringe. I used to similarly dislike Doa. But lately, Doa has been improving greatly. Since it looks like Doa is here to stay, I'm glad he is taking the training in Korea seriously. It's showing, man. Keep it up. If IPL wants an energetic shoutcaster, get Husky. Husky is infinitely better than HD in every conceivable way. Sorry, HD. I know this sounds harsh, but I'm just being honest. It would go a long way for me if two simple things changed: (1) let the game inspire excitement in your commentary, don't force it. (2) Leave the analysis to your partner. All of it. I don't have a very well-formulated opinion of CatsPajamas other than his pseudo-intellectual commentary style sounds about as genuine as HD's shoutcasting. </overly bitter rant> | ||

Husky doesn't give deep insight in the mechanics of the matches but he has great energy and most importantly does not give fail analysis all the time | ||
