Rob is awesome, don't listen to the haters.

better than most nonanalytical imo. atleast not nasally and/or sound like he's drowning.

Actually Marineking is quiet smart considering that he has a strong TvP so it would make sense that he would want to knock MC down to the lower bracket is possible. Who could be a potential threat later on. Although Ganzi there is questionable since Ganzi quiet good as well. I think it would of been better to put another P in there imo but I guess he also want to knock out ganzi early on. Sase? I just feel bad for him lol I hope he does well though but he will be the dark horse in this group.
That many protoss yes? Had to say it :p first time it not dominated by terran

casters are like food, everyone has their different tastes. just for some reason or another people like and dislike certain casters. I'm a Tastosis/JP/DoA man myself, while I dislike Day9/Apollo/TB, and neutral about Husky. I think they're all decent guys but I have no scientific reason for what I like except it's just my personal preference.
Anyways, my 2 cents about the bracket: I think people are underestimating the difficulty for HuK in group C. Violet I think is a fair challenge but I think the big surprise here will be Ret, who if anyone saw last night in the Red Bull LAN CRUSSSSSSHED through seven ZvP games in a row, winning his 3 matches against Parting, Naniwa, and Sase.

sorry for the hate but...
HUK AGAINN gets the "easiest" group
why stack all the koreans ???
Ret is a friggin beast man, never how he's going to play. Same with Violet, who's been putting up some impressive games against VERY impressive opponents. So, I guess I kinda half-agree with you, HuK will probably crush them all, but I'd rather see Violet and Ret make it out.

oh please not to much JP and Rob Simpson casts still dont understand why thoose 2 are casting o.O
Rob simpsons is a nice and freindly guy and obv its cool to have somone from blizz there but his casting isnt very good gamplay wise imo he obv knows how to talk but his indepth game knowledge seems to be kinda off
well anyways its going to be a great event!
grp A is insanly strong and fornutaly for the foreigners i groups b and c only have 1 koreaner so we have at least 2 foreigners at ranks 2 seeded after grp play ^^

Eurgh, Rob Simpson. *Cringe* Would you care to justify your claim that he's a bad caster, rather than writing something useless like "Cringe?"

It would be nice if he (and others) would include a decent reason why. Simpson hasn't been around as long in SC2, so I don't think the qualities people do not like have been established.
I do get the taste thing too. I personally don't like TB or DoA as much as others. TB and Wheat are both known for being more commentary than analysis. The reason I like Wheat is that he passes off analysis to his co-caster, and when he is alone, he sticks to what he knows. TB on the other hand can be quite pretentious from time to time. Now for DoA, I don't know. I just don't care for his casting, and I can't quite put a finger on why. You make a good case.
There is some separation between who I don't care for and who I don't like. I don't care for DoA's casting, but I don't like TB. If DoA got an MLG job I'd be fine with that, although I'd rather see someone else. If TB got an MLG job, I'd be upset.
(I should also point out that I think they are all good guys and do their jobs well. I'm not trying to start shit. Just stating my opinion.)

I think Rob has a very good caster voice, with a calm and friendly tone. He also does a very good job with the interviews of players, and has a good TV face.. The only problem is it's kind of hard to take him serious ingame as it doesnt nessescarily sound like he has alot of clue (although im sure he do), I just get a "hey everybody im flying on a pink cloud" vibe when he talks which I dont think suits a RTS caster, and also I think he is very feminine in a way which I find annoying(no offense to all the feminine boys out there im sure u cool )).

Nice nice if it's PvP Grubby might make it out of his group!
|
Should be a pretty sick event. I thought Sheth ranked 18th at the Arena so shouldn't he be there instead of Sase as the second replacement?

Sase beat Sheth in the consolation bracket.

You have to win your group if you want to stay in the winners bracket right? I think that will be almost impossible for Grubby, especially considering there are some really good players in the open bracket who will make it to the pool play.

Finally Day[9] is back to cast at MLG, and unless they come up with another crazy PPV I will definately be watching.
