Every time a cast says something like: "I can't remember where he won this or that" or states a wrong fact about a player, I keep thinking: It's your job, do your research.

Can't be too hard to even just go on Liquipedia before a day of Code A/S or tournament and look up his results and write them down. Come on.

Less banter, more knowledge.

Why can't we have such brilliant casts like this? At least 1 duo?

Goddamn, this was good. Almost motivates me to overcome my laziness and start learning korean. Compared to this, every english caster is speaking in slow-motion...

themarine for example, studies and preps a lot before casting. such as metagame, strats used by players in the past, weakness, strength, player stats of those playing and those that have played with current players, etc. while avoiding the trend (as this does not require extra studying). i do wonder how much preparation the typical english casters do as i see zero reference to something outside the game unless its something off of the top of their head.
moletrap, i found to be very good when it comes to player stats.

just pointing out the professionalism from korean casters are apparent.
casters dont need to be ex-pro, they need to study, as a real professional would do for their job.

Someone did this for BW as well and everyone realized how crappy English casters are.

Oh. My. God. The Korean commentators are absolutely amazing. Those guys put nearly all other casters to shame. I've never seen so much insight into a game AND enthusiasm at the same time.

However, if you're going to make more of these, please just do whatever to not screw up the subtitles. The bottom of the last line was always cut in half which is, quite frankly, just embarrassing. I'm sure people will want to see more of these videos and you did a great job with the writing but fix the positioning and you're on your way to internet fame.

Thanks for doing that. This cast was very good, and they explain everything in great detail. There are very few English casters that have such in-depth knowledge of the game.

holy SHIT this is good

hopefully english casters pick up some idea of how casting should be done, we have awesome guys like dapollo, day9 and tastosis, but this is on another level

If these videos start spreading more, all the english casters better be worried.

I'm amazed at how different the Korean casters are from english casters. They analize the game very well and keep it interesting.

Tastosis has to step it up.

Now I wish GomTV had subtitles for all of their Korean casts. I would definitely watch them over the English ones. The Korean commentators seem much more emotional. It makes the games seem more entertaining and substantial.

You can see most of the subtitles if you view on full screen. It seems youtube's video player covers a bit of the bottom.
