I did very much like the lack of artificial excitement and hype. That's one thing many people do a lot of that can get pretty annoying. Idra is also quite good at providing simple and sometimes chuckle-worth explanations of what happened.

Overall Idra's style reminded me a lot of InControl's style. If he can work on being a little more engaging and maybe a little happier. I get that this is not exactly his personality brand but it can really help create interesting content in the slower parts of the game and seeing a dry personality (even dry humor) constantly for a long period of time can be a bit of a downer.

I liked it a lot. Best is probably Artosis and Apollo, Khaldor and Idra no 2, and for 3rd place id go with Tod and Kaelaris.

I think Khaldor did an excellent job to make it a light hearted cast and not get too negative and grumpy. That was really impressive how he handled it imo.

Idra/Khaldor combo is very awesome. Looking forward to seeing it more often.

Ya what was up with that every interview he gave was so bizarre. The entire situation when Semmler was involved was so uncomfortable feeling. I don't know what it was that was making it feel that way but I didn't like any of the interviews.


u ever watch the 2GD show? he ruins that entire show they make fun of him constantly. for good reason but ye semmler ruins things


Did you just create a thread so you could praise and bash whoever you want? That's pretty silly...

Gr33n loves bashing people.

I enjoyed Semmler's interviews. I didn't see anything awkward at all about them. I actually thought they were some of the best I seen. He did a good job of getting the Koreans to feel comfortable and speak some English.

I think some people just live their whole life in one place and can't stand any different accent, mannerisms etc. To these people, I say go live and explore.

I don't know man. My idea of a caster is some who has a high level of knowledge about the sport/activity they are casting, which Idra obviously has. Also though in a caster I kind of want someone who has a good personality, a passion for the game and a genuine respect for the players - which I think Idra lacks in those aspects.

I never was a fan of Idra the player, but I must say he is really really good as a caster. His only downside is his voice.

So i watched 1-2 games from the tournament with khal/idra casting and tbh i found it very lackluster. Idra just sounds like some kid talking about a game he is watching. He isn't a caster at all. There are plenty of other casters out there that would pair better with khaldor. Please no more Idra casting ;/

Just gonna have to wait for idra + incontrol to start casting together, that should be a pretty sick combo imo.

It's his right to have a different opinion. This has nothing to do with being an enabler.

On the other hand, it isn't your right to come on a community site and bash people. Just keep it to yourself. It's toxic.

We all know he didn't get to pick one but it is his shortcoming.

TotalControl FTW! Actually, there are several good duos. KhaIdra is a great addition to them.

Idra is now best American caster, Day9 is still a better representative for the community though, however he lost his edge IMO with his game knowledge and has too many weird quirks like the constant orgasmic whoooooahs, and UH OH UH OH UH OH.



i can't agree more on the day9 screaming and orgasmis whoaah part. i think idra / khaldor is a really good combo aswell.

I think the best duo I've heard in recent times is Kaelaris/ToD. They were amazing together during WCS EU.

Yeah, I missed them in the poll, too. For me Kaelaris/ToD, Tastosis, Khaldra seem to be the best couples (no particular order).
