The great part of the korean casters is that they do such a great job of raising the energy level of the game. Even when the zerg is basically dead, they make the final few minutes so interesting that you can just ignore the inevitable end and get swept up in the excitement of their story.
thats my problem with it. I really couldn't ignore that there was no way for Z to comeback. At that point I would have preferred some explanations about when Z had screwed up, what mistakes had been made, etc
Am I really the only one preferring Idra style casting?
And yeah I do understand that Korean style is better to hype up, and to make esports grow etc etc

I don't agree, why talk about why a player "lost" when he's still in the game and trying to come back. Better to save that sort of analysis after the game is over.

Doesn't come as a shock to me that they are better at both playing and casting

Better than any other foreign caster, sucks people go for entertaining personality over this type of casting  and I think your video is safe since it's the first game of the series

But also, which casters could reach this level of casting? I mean the best analytically are probably Tastosis/IdrA, and even they aren't at this level...

'this guy is bad and zerg is weak now fuck you all and give me money : |' the end
why yes you are.

oh gosh seeing this really makes realize just how crappy our english casters are in comparison >_<

I got the same feeling watching(/reading) this as I did over the weekend, when I actually watched (and listened to) Day[9] cast a series at MLG. I was just blown away by how much information he was able to put in, and his flow with djWheat was incredible. It really reminded me of the old BW casts you used to post, and now I find this thread.
It'd be cool to have Day[9], Artosis and djWheat as a casting team.

Isn't Park Sang Hyun (the ex-MBC caster) commentating the GSTL now? I swear one of those voices sounds really familiar.

is it me or... the Korean commentators are MUCH more excited when somehting happens? for some reason even tho i only understand 1/3 of what they say, since my koeran is really bad, and they speak so fast, I still find the game more intense when casted by koreans... nothing like a good ole AHHHH PROBEU!!! HATCHERRY SNIPERU!!!

Wheat doesn't bring much to that team IMO.

Amazing, simply amazing. Makes me wish I could speak Korean, and calling them sunkens, lol yes!

I agree Day[9] and Artosis are the best foreign casters. Also MrBitter knows a lot about the game and zerg specifically and plays to his strength. dapallo is also really knowledgeable and Rob Simpson is a lot of fun to listen to. Also id take wolf over most other people because he knows a lot about the game. His only downside is that he tries to be artosis and tasteless too much. But these korean commentators seem to be better then all of the other foreigners. I wonder if their pay reflects that of korean commentators just have a lot of others to mimic and learn from so they are all good.

He is undoubtably the best play by play commentator. I have watched a vast majority of Wheats casts and he has never made an incorrect assesment about whats going to happen in a game. Because he doesnt do that. He does play by play and sometimes brings his own thoughts into the mix. The level of understanding he has for the game far exceeds his own skill level. He made some of the best observations he has made during this MLG and Red Bull LAN.
Contrast that with other commentators that often make predictions that are fairly far fetched and has to be corrected later or simply making erroneous assumptions or even worse, just missing super important stuff.
Wheat is an expert at filling time, transitioning into important play by play and building hype. Frankly I'd even say he's better at play by play than Tasteless. Granted Tasteless has a higher level of understanding and should probably be seen more as a hybrid analasys/play by play caster and probably is the most well rounded caster along with day9. Well artosis could probably do that too but seems to have chosen the analasys as his forte.
