Did you really expect a major tournament like Dreamhack to take up a relatively untested caster (no, EG team league doesn't count) over motherfuckin' Apollo and Artosis? I mean, it's Apollo and Artosis.

He's a good caster, but I honestly don't see anything about him that sets him above typical "pro player casting a game" status. And that's just not enough to cast a DH Valenica.

I like the lineup so far. Seltzer is an experienced host.
I like Smix. She always brings a fun personality to the table. Moreso than other people I think.
Apollo is perhaps my favorite European caster, and Artosis without Tasteless is always great to watch. They fit perfectly together as the Tastosis nerds, but I like other casters better than Tasteless... I like more focus on the games and less focus on just being nerds.

and ofc Adebisi for observer.

This are the 5 best names possible. WTF is this madness.
Everything that follows now can only be a disappointment.

This is fantastic. I really like Apollo and Artosis as a caster duo.

overall great lineup. it would be perfect with incontrol instead of seltzer. imo, she just cant hype stuff, often acts awkwardly and asks super boring questions probably because she does mostly lol these days.

Yay! Apollo and Artosis are two of my three favorite casters, and they've got an awesome observer too. I don't care too much about the hype and interviews and stuff outside of the games, so whether or not Seltzer is a good host doesn't really affect me. Really looking forward to this.

Well, this is pretty much perfect. Apollo & Artosis the best casters without a doubt, Incontrol would be a better host IMO, but it would probably look weird to have incontrol+smix together :D so this is fine too

Wonder who will be the play-by-play color commentator, both Apollo and Artosis bring such a high level of casting to the game.. both are very impressive and analytical

No discredit to dApollo, I love his casting, he's one of the best if not the best caster around to me, but I find it sad to not see Tasteless at foreign events anymore. Doesn't he get booked? Is is really that he lost his passion? I did follow him through broodwar even when he still was a player and as caster.... and its kind of like good memories. I miss that

I know what you mean. Tasteless is what brought me to watchig professional SC regularly. It's just sad to see him less and less

...weird or awesome? they both have outgoing personalities and the physical contrast would be visually awesome. Giant friendly incontrol and friendly yet tiny Smix.
