It also does not exclude people streaming in other languages. I don't know for sure, but usually ESL lets people cast in different languages too.

i like kaelaris but na will get much better caster :/ kinda sux
|
I'm gonna make a bold prediction - all terrans will go through to the next round. This is not balance whining, just a not-so-unreasonable expectation based on recent results and the composition of the groups! I have doubts about Bunny, but i'm betting on him continuing his great performance.

How is Naniwa > Mana by far in Hots? Mana looks like a beast so far in ATC and Naniwa has not shown anything yet. I know he is top 100 GM in korea but ladder is ladder and Mana already proved himself in tournaments. Not saying Mana is definetly better or anything, but Naniwa > Mana by far? I dunno man :D.

lol @ the biggest tournament in both NA and EU having less good casters than Code A. would have really liked to see Apollo be a main caster (and i don't like Kaelaris, but apparently other people do so that's neither here nor there).
and whyyy does Grubby have to be in the same group as Stephano again <.< i suppose there's a decent chance they'll both make it out though.
|
I'm pretty sure apollo will cast at some point.Maybe RO16 or region finals.
|
nice, cant wait for the start as many others i expected apollo to be the second caster,too but i think ToD is a great choice, i really like him as a caster !
is he moving to cologne then ? or will it be a skype cast for the online round?

Everyone has there favorites.. I personally think kaelaris, axeltoss, axslav, d9, husky, incontrol, tastosis, the pulsecrew etcetcetc are all good casters... I do not think any of these would have a negative impact on a broadcast of the WCS tournament..
|
Axeltoss and Axslav are decent but i think Kaelaris and ToD are better.
|
The glory of ToD shall prevail against the tides of ignorance. Behold his excellence!

Nani is 30-0 in two recent Swedish Hots cups.

I wonder why people voted group H as group of death. Group E is way more deadly imo.
