Tasteless - I wish that Tasteless would start to learn how to play Starcraft 2 so he could contribute to the actual casting of the game. When you watch Artosis cast with Apollo, or a lesser extent Wolf, they are bouncing ideas about the game back and forth of each other. When Artosis casts with Tasteless they tend to recycle the same non-game related topics over and over again ("What's your favourite RPG? etc"). His charisma and sense of humour carry him, but he could do much better. . /signed its like this for me for a long time i really enjoy artosis but tasteless always seemed to be very off to me metagame wise he has "no idea" and often mentions plays for a map that are not suited and stuff like this, but sill he got the "plott comedian" inside like Day does and gives a "good show" and as far as they were talking about it seemed like tasteless would be playing more SC2 since Hots was realesed | ||

Axslav does great analysis, but has trouble with play-by-play and I'm not sure Axeltoss does the best job of picking up that slack. His solo casting was definitely a strain, but Shamtoo did well in the following games; I'd love to see him in a few more series. | ||

ToD: = Rookie of the year. I really love his style, the suit his accent and his knowledge which is deliverd by a dry subtle humor create an image of a russian mobster in a kind of cheesy fun way which is normally found in Guy Ritchie movies. This is of course only achieved by the great synergy with his co-caster which brings us to: Kaelaris: You can say what you like about him, but man that guy has a passion for this game which is almost unprecedented; those who disagree definitively didn't watch the WCS Qualifiers which he casted solo for like 10 hours straight... and in addition to his passion (and knowledge) I think he is the kind of caster who has the ability to find the connection to his co-caster whoever that might be (I don't know the correct term... intuition? instinct?... idk but ToD surely does owe his title "rookie of the year" to some extent to this) | ||

The EU team has been surprisingly amazing! It's almost the best duo next to the archon! But NA is really good too! Axslav is actually one of my absolute favorite casters! Game knowledge and understands how to create excitement! Something that is often sacrificed in favor of predicting / calling the game outcome and being critical of decisions! | ||

For example: Thors and Hellbats run up a ramp which is defended by siege tanks and hellbats and a partial depot wall. "He's going to push up; he just has so much he's going to steamroll this defensive position." Attack predictably stalls on the ramp: "There aren't enough tanks to keep him back!" Attacker gets completely obliterated with all tanks left over (depot wall in shambles and hellbats all gone of course)... I dunno, maybe they just don't know TvT (I don't think either plays Terran) so like I said maybe a poor first impression. Also, this gem in a TvT: "He's down in the worker count, but don't forget he has mules!" (they were also on equal orbitals at the time). That said the other match-ups I saw them cast were a lot more seamless, but these just stuck out in my mind. | ||

EU - it's ok, could've been better though. I would love if they had Apollo. NA - I gave them another chance, but I just can't listen it. Axeltoss is just a bad caster who don't understand the game at all and not even entertaining like Wheat or TB. Axslav at least understands the game, but very painful to listen to. Maybe he's a nice guy and I have nothing against him, but he shouldn't be the caster. That other guy, Shamtoo (maybe I spelt it wrong)... bad. I like Rotti's casting, but he's so much better when casting something less official, like HSC. | ||
