What the fuck is wrong with you? Total Biscuit is a worthwhile caster, while Apollo is utter garbage? God that is the most stupid thing I have ever heard.

I never knew Day9 had such a colt following. Its so weird to see that people care more about him then the game/players.

Happy to hear that Tastosis will show up again, but I'm disappointed that Apollo and Rotterdam wont be there. Day9 not showing up doesn't really surprise me since he has that redbull gig going for him. In fact I don't think we will be seeing him casting at anymore MLGs for the foreseeable future.

Lol after seeing them play in proleague, I'm not that excited anymore about them BW players. Am I the only one in that case? No, I feel the same. I probably won't even watch the kespa tournament. That's ok. You'll come back in a few months when they eat all children.
Ya even if you aren't interested in their SC2 matches just seeing those guys at an MLG event should be enough for anyone to tune in. We can't forget that these guys have done a ton for the Starcraft series and are pretty much living legends in the E-sports world
Personally I still watch all the pro league matches. Ya they aren't as good as GSL matches but how could anyone realistically think that after just a few months of practice they would be. Even so if you watch a couple of players (effort, zero, motive) you can see that they are catching on quickly.
I will definitely be watching via stream and if the roof of that place isn't blown off when the BW players are introduced I will fly to Anaheim and start rioting and looting.
Also who gives a crap if a caster is missing, the list of casters shown is crazy good. One caster whether you like him or not will not change anything (other than the casting Archon of course).

Ahh Sad day, no Day9, I love DJWheat + Day9 and ItmeJP + Day9 probably the most, just a lot of funny moments have happened when watching their games.
Seen a lot of the other casters perform before, the entire line up is pretty good. Can't wait.

actually Apollo and Rotterdam will be there. Apollo is casting, says so right in the OP. Rotterdam is playing in the open bracket.

Someone from MLG should really just edit the OP to include "Day9 is booked because he's casting CSL, that's the only reason he's not going to be at MLG, so please stop freaking the fuck out and coming up with weird conspiracy theories about how he's never gonna be at MLG again." Or, even better, put a mod note at the top since most people are mouthbreathers and will only look at the list and then jump straight to posting.
God, the same shit happened with Tastosis not being at Spring Arena 2, half the caster thread was "OMG NO TASTOSIS? MUST BE BECAUSE OF THE KESPA/MLG DEAL" when in reality they were casting GSL finals.
edit: realized the OP is not an MLG employee, if you see this post you should edit your OP

Oh yeah! Awesome as usual :D! I <3 dem playhem casters!

No they're not, they're awesome! Clearly you must be watching the wrong dailies  .

Anyone who thinks Apollo is a bad caster is just clinically stupid.

lol really? Regardless, this tournament just became a lot more watchable to me =) No more pseudo-player analysis -- just analysis from players who play, and casters who admit they don't play. Even Husky, a caster I used to really think was bottom-tier (because I personally prefer more informed casters and he was very... YouTube) has improved so much and I honestly am somewhat looking forward to his casting.
REALLY hope Grubby casts -- that guy is a king.

Completely my speculation, but IMO Day is moving away from appearances and trying to do his own thing.
I think he's getting a bigger cut of the Red Bull stuff than just the appearance fees he'd get here.
Wasn't he getting like 50k~ ish per appearance? I wish I was in a position to let my pride be worth more than 50 large. =(
Also ROTTERDAM is so fucking hilarious, I demand some in-depth PvP sentry analysis or I will consider this tournament a flop~~

There is no drama or conspiracy. This is our line up. We have not had the same caster line up from one event to the next...ever. Day9 was not at Providence nor at any arena event this year. Husky has not been at an event in a long time. Change, variety, and schedule juggling is just the nature of this business. There is no reason to have an uproar over this. I understand if you like *insert caster here* and would like to see him/her cast, but please stop with the drama.
Adam, please understand that the majority of fans don't care for any of the drama. It's only a tiny few forum posters that like to stir it up. Most of us are just overjoyed that there are so many great Starcraft games being casted.
I'll be enjoying MLG Anaheim from home, and on Championship Sunday, from Barcraft Vancouver (make sure someone shouts out to us!) It will be awesome!

Does this mean that ROOTerdam is playing in open bracket? I really hope so!

Really happy with that caster list. Not too fussed about Day9 not being there. Artosis+Apollo+MrBitter+DJWheat is enough for me. In fact, Rob Simpson and Tasteless can stay at home if they want
Edit: Forgot TB!! Happy he's there as well :D

Oops, now I feel dumb.
I guess Day9 can't come because MLG is sponsored by NOS and he can't stream the tournament on day9tv with Red Bull ads so he won't go because he isn't making $20,000 for one weekend
