they shouldve added DJ Wheat to cast as a partner for Day9.
This way, we could still have Bitterdam :/ Mr bitter was Dj wheat's replacement as by his own words earlier in the thread. If wheat could have come it would probably have been tastosis, day9+ wheat and TB + apollo.
I almost feel like this should be added to the OP, because it would stop the same question/issue coming up every 5 posts.

I personally don't like TB's casting, but the other casters are all great! This is gonna be a sweet dreamhack
|
TB is the greatest caster ever!
I wish I lived in Europe, this type of events are so awesome. Really good caster lineup.
|
Looks fantastic! That stadium looks sick!

Reaaaaally weird to me that it's such a big thing to announce the casters.... Since when did casters become the thing to hype a tournament? That really didn't happen before recent SC2-history. Yes, I do love Tastosis yadda yadda yadda, but why is there so much hype around certain casters?
Oh yes; why Totalbiscuit? Has he really that large of a following? Is he even Gold on the ladder?...

This looks so badass, best caster lineup and arena-like setting! Definitely will set the standard for future tournaments.

It's not like this is "the thing" to hype the tournament, it's one step of many. They announce players in a bunch of 10 or 15 and make a new thread about it to hype the tournament and they do the same for casters. It does a good job to raise awareness for the upcoming event.
Yes, tournaments are a bit to caster-focused, but this announcement right here is nothing uncommon and not noteworthy to point out as an example of putting the wrong things in focus, in my opinion. It fits in well with the rest of the marketing and shows me what to expect when I tune in. Professionality, first and foremost.

Holy... christ on a cracker! This will be so amazing i dont have words for it!
Take ALL the best casters was the motto i guess :D

Aww, no Rotterdam! Still, MrBitter. Perhaps I should go anyway. He is hilarious!

Totalbiscuit is exactly gold on both EU and US actually.
No problem with hype around casters, cus they do alot for the "scene". But we could sure use a few more good casters. Not that I'm geting tired of Tastosis or Day[J], but would be nice with some new voices. Also perhaps that would leed to more focus on great players deciding what tournament's are great and not the casters. But then again, good casters and good players go hand in hand moste of the time when picking tournaments.
On a Swedish note, since it's dreamhack, we need some Swedish casters to step it up. Not really anyone out there who is outstanding.
[JOKE] But I guess all Swedish casters are buissy trying to find a way to get a spot in GSL.

omfg, Tastosis! yeyeeyeyeyye \o/
but MrBitter :/ Well, you don't have to watch everything i guess :D
Thanks for pointing that out troll. I love MrBitter with all of my heart and think he is worthy.
Instead of writing this stupid posts, please just don't write anything at all.
I enjoy all of this casters, some less some more, but I don't tell a bunch of people who I don't like so please a little bit of respect, that's all I want! Specially to a talented caster like MrBitter.

Dream team caster line up :D

I really like the caster lineup, I personally would have prefered Rotterdam, too, but we cant have everything and I will just mute TB 
Actually, yes it does matter. In my opinion, a caster has to understand the depths of a game. I think e.g. RotterdaM (as high in masters as you can get) can analyze way more and better than a gold player

Who's casting with Day9? God I hope its TB :D

My role is not analysis, that should be clear.

It is, and that is why I dont like you as a caster, if I am allowed to say so. Of course, a caster has to be entertaining, but my personal preference is 2 people knowing both analysis and entertainment and preferably having casted a lot of games together (e.g. Bitterdam)

This is an interesting point.
TB, I'd like to ask you a question if you want: assuming that casting games is your main/only job (I think, at least) do you think that you are fine the way you are?
Not judging or anything: I could never cast anything decently and I enjoy basically everyone to an extent.
...and I don't threaten to mute any stream
Just asking if you are actually doing something to improve your gaming knowledge so that you'll be able to tell who has the upper hand in an engagement (upgrades, army positioning and army composition) or you'll leave everything to Apollo.
That's because I don't like that much when a caster says something only to be proven otherwise by the game in a couple of seconds, it feels like they don't know what they are talking about... and we all agree that for a commentator it should be a big no-no.
Ofc I'm not talking about advanced concept, metagame shifts or opinions about what is going to happen: after all your strongest point is elsewhere.
But what about basic concepts such as upgrades or army composition?
Thanks.
On a side note I love you Rotterdam: you are one of the best casters in the whole scene, especially since you bring us constant high-quality casting without being a supposed 'pinnacle of SC knowledge'.
+ Show Spoiler +and you are one of the few always willing to prove your skill, being it in game or not >:D
