I thought RoG's casting team was better than the SC2 Korean casters

idra + artosis would probably be the best pairing. they're good friends to begin with so chemistry would never be a problem. you'd also have 2 casters who have a lot of game knowledge of 2 races between them. artosis can provide the color casting as well. i'd like to see this combo happen

not so sure about that. artosis likes to shout over his partners voice and i would really hate him if he shouted nonsense while idra was explaining something. khaldor is calmer and more patient which suits idra well as a casting partner.

i dont get the idra hype here and on reddit, did you guys already forget how he really is? putting on a straight face for the cameras isnt going to change my mind about him. hes not a nice guy, his monotone voice makes him a horrible caster.

What about K[9]? No one has mentioned them; they're pretty good imo.

When it comes to entertainment value Kaelaris and Tod gets my vote for best caster duo. Just like chocolate pretzel’s, it sounds awful but actually it works so perfectly. It is a little lacking on the analytical side but Tod covers that well enough and the synergy/chemistry/whatever you want to call it between them just works so well. It made season 1 so entertaining. Kaelaris and Apollo just don’t seem to click as well as K+T. I still like the pair but sometimes they’re not on the same page, I guess time will alleviate that.

I’m of the same opinion of Idra and Khaldor, I like Khaldor and Idra’s casting abilities, but sometimes it just felt like they were stepping on each other’s feet. Hardly surprising considering it was the first time the two had ever cast together (to my knowledge) and (again to my knowledge) it was Idra’s first casting gig at a major overseas event so he was out of his comfort zone. Overall though I’d rate the duo positively, and there were some great moments in there too. I’d really like to see more of the pair.

i didn't really see the chemistry between idra and khaldor and actually felt it was kind of awkward between them. artosis knows exactly how to handle idra. that's just my opinion though

on the other hand, khaldor and wolf are a good pairing.

Idra and Khaldor were good. You can't beat tasteless and artosis though. Even looking at tastless makes me laugh

You want to talk about Taeja then maybe you should've been in the LR thread, or making a topic celebrating Taeja winning smile. While you're at it why don't you tweet Taeja + Show Spoiler +

Apollo and Artosis is not a good casting duo. They are both analytical casters and you really need a play by play guy to pair up with each of them (that's why Nathanias and Apollo were so good). With Apollo and Artosis, they ask "what do you think of this"/"what do you think of that", and after a while, it gets irritating.

I loved these two, Khaldor really let Idra do the analytical casting and they were funny together and just worked well together! I think WCS NA should def. get Idra as a regular caster, it really improves the watching experience if the casters actually know what they are talking about.........



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

is this fair to say? i believe so

what?

Are you kidding?

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.


Sign?
You mean "Sigh"?

Loving mech is not that same as having a mech bias. And besides, SC2 could use a bit more mech.
I would love to see Artosis cast together with Avilo and Goody. Great idea you gave me!

Commentating a game requires you to be as unbiased as possible. This is an accepted fact in all major sports.
There is room for some bias, but never for having two commentators with the same bias.

So wait, you want to hear Avilo cast, but yet you complain about bias in casting? I think we all have a clear picture of what type of bias you would be totally fine with.

way to go ad hominem...
this thread is just wrong on so many levels. Just because IdrA is such a popular figure for being such a douche.

Artosis and Apollo are clearly the best duo. They are both very knowledgeable and have great chemistry and flow in their casting.

That being said Khaldor and Idra were very good this weekend.

I agree with you. Their casting was outstanding.
I also enjoyed Idra's casting quite a bit as I am really annoyed when casters don't point out the player's mistakes which is a mistake Idra sure didn't make
I am don't really like Khaldor though so they are not among my favourites.
With great power comes great responsibility.
