Erik "DoA" Lonnquist, and Christopher "MonteCristo" Mykles doesn't belong in a SC2 final event. Why the hell don't they have Tasteosis, IdrA or some other top-level caster? The only really solid one is Apollo :/.

Daybreak is still in GSL map pool.

I guess every game just merges into the hundreds of games I've seen there. Hopefully this is it's finally tournament tho.

It a shame that all the casters who did the regular season in each region are left out of the finals

O well, I have missed DoA so its not all bad. and the games are going to be amazing so I can't complain to much.

I'm kind of surprised that OGN is handling the production for the Season finals. Has this been announced before, and is there a reason for giving it to OGN? I expected GOMtv to do the production for the finals. After all, they're hosting the season this time around...

I really enjoy Monte/DoA, but not having Tastosis seems like a really stupid move.

Luckily they have Day9 and Apollo, so the people who only watch for casters still have two of the most popular ones still at the event. Still, no Tastosis is weird.

its understandable if OGN is going to produce this. They do not want tastosis live at the event since they are the pretty the flagship casters of sc2 and also part of GOM. I just hope we can at least see tastosis in the studio and lets not be evil and give montecristo and doa a chance, its good to have some variety.

Shame about no tastosis but if day9 is going to be casting that he better butter up on the kespa players he always seems so surprised when he casts their games at foreigner tournaments not 'seeming' to know a lot about their sc2 careers.

Wow no Tastosis or Wolfdor, whoever set this up dropped the ball BIG time. Honestly none of these casters are really on the same level as the 2 GSL caster combos for me, really disappointed by this.

I do think DoA and Montecristo are okay and it's good that they get to cast this, too, but not utilizing the four best casters currently in Korea who are very familiar with almost every player there in addition to Doa/Montecristo is a really strange move that seems like it's completely motivated by politics, not reason.

I know Apollo watches a lot of Korean stuff and I'm not very sure about Day[9] but it's almost impossible to have as much knowledge and experience as Wolfdor and Tastosis (or at least Artosis^^) when you're not in Korea yourself.

Well, whoever decided this is really stupid and has no idea what they are doing lol

Not having Artosis and Tasteless is quite bad mainly because they can draw a pretty damn big crowd I mean look how many people showed up to watch WoT on twitch just FOR Tasteosis. Also, they didn't even choose Wolfdor either which is sad as they are as someone said the 4 best casters in korea

My thoughts as well, I guess they will cast from GomTV studio with their own video feed just like what OGN is doing with WCS KR S1, imagine Gom's stream beating OGN's numbers on a second-hand video feed lol. Oh wait, OGN has DayPollo.

Well, if they do that then I'd bet that far more people would tune into the GOM stream because OGN is just lol

Wait, since the two other remaining season finals events will be played outside of Korea (Eu and US, namely), that means GOM won't ever have the chance to organize WCS season finals? I guess they feel really robbed about this : (. On the flipside though, they should organize one extra WCS KR season compared to OGN, and maybe they will be involved in the Grand Finals too.

Regarding the casters, I can't say I'm really happy, but I hope I will be pleasantly surprised. A GOM rebroadcast should be fun anyways, so I hope it happens.

Give DoA andf Montechristo a chance sure, but at the Season Finals of all the WCS regionals? Hell no! They should get the best casters available and/or the casters that has cast the regular regional season.
Now I like DoA's casting (or atleast I did last time I heard him cast) but for this he's got no place. Montechristo is just no... just no.
