Still no news from ESL regarding replacements?
Sucks b/c with Khaldor in KR and Bitterdam gonig to NASL there's only a few high level casters left in EU.... (and there's only a handful of lower tier casters doing online cups).
ESL TV will announce replacements as soon as they can  Hopefully soon!

So is this a sign that ESL will be focusing less on SC2 in 2012? BitterdaM produced a lot of content for them outside of the IEM events. Given how personality driven some of those shows were, I can't imagine that it would be trivial to bring in two new guys and start producing them again. Most likely the viewer numbers didn't justify their existence (always around 500-2000 whenever I tuned in).
The obvious conclusion is that ESL will put more emphasis on LoL in 2012. I guess the popularity of SC2 has plateaued and ESL will treat the game accordingly.
BitterdaM had the chance to move on to new opportunities/challenges which we don't blame them for, is natural in this business. I can't speak for ESL TV about what they have planned but SC2 is still one our biggest titles for the forseeable future!

Very unfortunate... they were one of the best casting duos since Tastosis.

I hope theyll take Kaelaris.
I cant think about any other European caster ... Which names come in mind for you? Apollo, TotalBiscuit, Khaldor,
Khaldor is held up with the GSL Code A casting, so I don't see how he can be picked.

Question, more related to the thread than the topic itself:
Is "that was unexpected" or, "how unexpected" some kind of Team Liquid inside joke? No.. I'm being serious. Whenever someone leaves a pro team, or anyone of a noticeable name in the scene makes some kind of change, I see this phrase uttered like the world is gonna end if not mentioned. OF COURSE it's unexpected. Are you facebook buddies with these guys? Do you have late night chats on the phone, whispering little nothings while painting your toe nails with these guys? Why is it so significant to point out how abrupt something is.. tell me, please, because it's starting to irk the fuck outta me.

Awww yeah that is sweet. I can't really read what it stands there though since I get distracted from that picture where it kind of feels like Gretorp "wants" me.

people think it was unexpected because bitterdam were amazing casters and it's hard to imagine that a big league like ESL would let them go like that.
no, it's not an inside joke.

Oh, I'm not speaking solely about this thread. You'll see the phrase mentioned in every single thread of a pro changing teams or a caster doing something like this. Go take a look at similar threads and you'll find it within the first couple posts at least, always the same damn thing. It's the most annoying phenomena I've seen on TL. Considering how often people say it, an inside joke seemed very plausible.
