I've enjoyed literally all of the casting duos on that list, but Idra did very well and gelled especially well with Khaldor. Will be nice to hear Idra with others too; Idra + Apollo or Idra + Artosis would be siiiick.

Yes I totally agree with that. Best duo so far, for me. For Idra/ Khaldor I really enjoyed both of them, great insights by Idra and Khaldor was able to communicate well with Idra, to show a bit of his personallity and of course his play by play is pretty good.
I do not really understand what some of the people's problem is with Semmler, I especially liked his interviews, relaxed but yet really interesting, especially with the Koreans. Maybe he can work a bit on his stage "presentation", it seemed a bit too casual for my liking. But other than that, good stuff
IdrA + Khaldor was really good, but why is no one giving love to NASL duos? BitterDam and FroTorp are amazing casting duos I think. I want more NASL stuff!!
IdrA and Khaldor were good, but that's overhype cause it's a new thing. Tastosis are always the best. And I've seen Khaldor doing a much better work then this at Asus, too many mistakes and unnecessary screams.
I think Apollo, Artosis and Khaldor should cast every event there is. Khaldor is the best PBP caster and no one come close to Apollo and Artosis in game knowledge (not even when players are casting IMO).
It is definitely refreshing to see a former top-tier professional to commentate because he has very deep analysis and knows how to be professional. However, it would be nice, if he would lighten up a bit.

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...
eh its harsh critique but i "dislike him" the rest of the tourny was great
It's not " harsh critique ", it's just bashing.
k he did a really really bad job and shouldnt be hired again. no bush beating. dont be enablers. if someone is bad make it known
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.
This person is right, which is why I was skeptical about this thread at first. And pretty much, seeing how the OP responds confirms my suspicion. This thread is nothing more but a place where he can express his personal opinions without bring anything significant to the discussion.
I really enjoyed their casting, my favourite "caster" would be Grubby though. I don't get all the hype for tastosis (Artosis is fine), I guess it's because they were one of the first starcraft casters. Tasteless is just really, really bad unless you're looking for a caster who will tell you dozens of times that base races favour Terran because their buildings can fly or that the map is about to be mined out.

so we are in agreement. if you enjoyed idra you are prob high masters to pro level, if you like artosis and tasteless you 1 base and are in silver

idrA has good game sense but is very biased. This side of him needs to be balanced out by his co-caster.
Unfortunately Khaldor shares the same anti-terran bias, especially when casting TvZ, but also in TvP. idrA was always very fast to point out that T has mules, but always forgot to mention that P can chronoboost probes. idrA might get away with it, because he is what he is, but Khaldor doesn't.
They are not completely doomed as a duo because of this, but they have stuff to work...
Everyone has bias whether it's for a race, their favorite players or whatever else it may be.
Lol. Your completely missed my point. The point is that _both_ casters share the same anti-terran and pro-zerg bias. This is why Khaldor is not a good co-caster to idrA.

Sign, this again. You know Artosis loves mech? Does that mean we can't pair him with another mech loving casters? At the end of the day, as long as they are funny and amusing, their bias is a minor problem.

If we would have seen mech in 1/3 of the games it very well could be. There was enough of condescension in Artosis telling everyone how he knows mech better than the pros.
