Sucks, I always enjoyed watching Go4SC2 on sundays and of course the IEM events. Hopefully they'll produce allot of free content with NASL or whatever organisation they are going to work for.

Edit: yeah as for the caster duo discussion I think I would rank them like this

1. Tastosis
2. Bitterdam
And then Day9/ X or Apollo/Totalbiscuit or Wolf/Khaldor

They're way better than all non gomtv casters so hopefully they land a job somewhere.

I like them more than all gomtv casters. Hell, I like them more than every caster who isn't Apollo.

Semmler was the host at the last winter Assembly in Helsinki, he is part of the 2GD studio with Apollo (and 2GD!) and he mostly casts BLC but knows some starcraft! very nice guy if you ask me!

Semler and Apollo for esl now I'm guessing, carmac has been fawning over Apollo for a while now

They are part of 2GD studio, why would they move on so soon after launch?

Bitter is managing the razer house and everyone is a fan of bitterdam (i.e. they are desirable by casting companies). so if bitter is moving to USA, it is likely he is going to cast for an American broad cast, hopefully joined by Rotterdam. If it is nasl, then perhaps we have a big hint as to where the razer house is :O

NASL announcing 3 new casters, these 2 hinted at staying in US for awhile, and mouzKael (guy from ASUS Assembly) is moving country in April. Guess theres the 3 new casters for NASL.

not so unexpected for me. MrBitter worked there for the IEM season, we have now a off-season. So the duo can do now free-lancing.

my guess would be Kaelaris as a new caster as he tweeted some time ago about moving to germany.

What, I did not see this coming. Wonder where they're off to next, but best of luck to them, I really did enjoy their commentary, hope they land a new job soon.

This is purely speculation, but I think IEM and Bitterdam split because IEM doesn't want to spend substantial sums of money on casters.

Of the major leagues, IEM is one of the more frugal. Paying names to cast is getting more and more expensive. So, my prediction is IEM will pick up less popular casters trying to make a living. Actually, this is exactly what IEM did when they picked up Mr. Bitter.

As for potential names, Apollo, Painuser and HD seem the most likely. As for some long shots, Robin and Axeltoss come to mind.

I think this might be a logical move by bitterdam.

They said to iNcontrol who hosted the last improvised mini-SotG on stage that they intend to stay in the US for some time. iNcontrol said "Dun dun dun". So I expected them to be doing work in the US regularly for a while now.

First I thought EGMCSL, because Geoff made it sound almost as an *announcement*. Then I thought it's just the Razer Academy (both Bitter and Rotti are in it, by the way, not just Bitter). But now I think since they drop their ESL jobs entirely, they may be getting long term positions in one of the primer NA leagues.
