I liked them all apart from Doa due to the repeated wrong or unnecessary things he says, he keeps filling time when he really shouldn't and should just let Cats say something if he doesn't have anything worthwhile to say at that moment. DJWheat and Apollo have done a fantastic job though and HD and PainUser aren't bad at all. There might be a bit of an over saturation of Cats what with all the countdowns and whatnot but he's done really well this time in his actual casting.

Catspjs/Doa seems to be the best OB btw and HD/Painuser's OB is kind of horrible.

I like Painuser, but HD is terrible.

Painuser is so painfully biased. EVERY single statement he makes is Terran favoured. I mean, people like Mr.Bitter is slightly favoured towards their race, that's fine and all but Painuser takes it too far to be enjoyable.

I Think DJPollo is the "best" in terms of individual casting, but CatsPajamas and Doa are amazing together

I'm gonna throw this out, Apollo is the best analytical caster in the business. Not only is he really good at analyzing the games, but before they start he knows everything about every player. Like seriously, any player, he always has some sort of background on him. Even SlayersSleep. Nobody knows who he is, but Apollo knew.

He is a genius in his field and needs more respect.

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?

This is so true! HD has a lot of passion for the game, and I love that. but I swear sometimes he thinks 3 lings in the natural are about to win the game.

That said. I like all three of the combos. I had never seen DOA before and I really like how he and CatzPajamas are working together. I dont know if he would mix as well with the others though.

I voted for DJApollo but the combos are all good.

Edit : Hell yeah Dexington. An excellent point and more props for Apollo.

He's not as analytical as actual pro players casting, but yeah, he is really good.

All this being said, HD is my least favorite caster.

I feel like PainUser does a great job of juggling anything HD throws out. Even though their combined casting may not be as strong as the other two's, I think the positive effect PainUser brings individually is on par with the best of them.

I accidentally picked Painuser and HD but my vote was for DJ Wheat and Apollo .... they are the best out of these 3 pairs by far.

djwheat/apollo is my favorite out of the three, but i think CPJ with someone that actually knew anything about the game would be really good too.

This is so true. Apollo manages to be insightful in every single freaking matchups and I yet have to find him mispredicting something. He needs to cast more big tournaments.

I think this is one of the things that I think MLG has over IPL is the casters. I never really liked HDStarcraft and Painuser as castors and I think DJWheat is a bit overrated as well. Apollo isn't bad but I haven't heard much of him and Catzpajamas has a good comentating voice. However I think Day9, Husky, JP, Artosis, and Tastless are much better casters than the ones given in the IPL's.

I don't mind any of them, but the lack of knowledge of HD is kinda annoying.

I don't understand this feeling about HD. He isn't the best caster, but he's a better player and more knowledgeable SC2er than anybody but PU or the guy from Dignitas. Like, levels on levels on levels ahead of CatsPajamas and djWheat (who are both better casters, but far less knowledgeable).
