That said, none of the casting duos in the poll would be in my Top5 - I like mostly MonteDoa, Bitterdam, Kaelaris and Tod, Nathanias+Apollo (but strangely enough, Kaelaris and Apollo don't seem to be working too well together imo) and that's about it. I don't watch Tastosis if I can get around it, since I don't really like their casting style together. Artosis and Apollo imo also didn't work together terribly well. What I cannot stand at all are guys like Day9, Tastosis when they are casting together and some others - they tend to hype up every single bullshit thing happening like it is the end of the world and every single match is 'the best match I've ever seen'. I think Artosis works much better with someone like Wolf for example. But I tend to notice, I don't really look for the same thing in casters, like the majority of people watching - I am much more interested in backstories of players, the 'when I played against him' kind of stuff and funny stories about the players more so then any kind of actual analytic casting (I watch too much Starcraft, so I mostly know what is going on regardless, since it tends to be pretty repetitive). That all said, I never get the hate towards ANY caster, since I think everyone I watched had something good to present and if not, I just don't listen to them and focus on the game itself. I also don't have any problems in listening to anyone, I just prefer some over others, but there is really no one that would force me to not watch a game I am interested in. | ||

Just like players to casters, there will never be a single, or in this case, duo, 'best' casters thus far or ever. It all comes down to a matter of preference and hundreds of things a viewer/listener looks in a caster. Some are funny, insightful and quick, to those that can hype very well and simply make you smile and make you raise your hands in the air. Personally after watching around 10 or so games of Khaldra I can defiantly say that I enjoyed them and would watch them again as a duo, separately with another caster or by themselves. I also think IdrA has the potential to really grow and rise to the levels of Artosis and Day[9] in terms of being a powerhouse and household name in the casting/analytic sides of SC2. | ||

It seems that you've gotten overexcited about trapping someone. I should report you for attempted entrapment! You stated that you'd like to hear Artosis, GoOdy and Avilo casting together after saying they all like mech. Maybe that was meant to be a joke, but it didn't really come off that way. I think you meant to make the second bunch of comments the main focus of your post, but instead you seemed to be saying and in the same post. So basically, you seemed to trip yourself up and Plansix was only questioning that. In addition, you claimed IdrA is anti-terran, but I don't think that's really so true, or at least not particularly. Many people who are a bit (or more) biased in favour of their own race will sound a bit biased against the others. IdrA might, however, be REALLY BIASED against protoss (can't say I blame him ㅋㅋㅋ) and that could be something to keep track of. Slight biases "against races" like Khaldor and IdrA might supposedly have against terran are really only from favouring zerg, unless Khaldor feels some particular hatred for terran that I've forgotten about. Either way, IdrA's stronger bias is definitely against protoss. Stronger biases like that might be more of a worry (though I thought he managed it well enough during the cast). We used to have numerous protoss pairings in casting, didn't we? We still have Artosis + Tasteless, at least. I think the only real bias we feel is in their excitement, but casters can go a bit over the top with praise during games regardless of the caster and player races. People like to get upset when casters do that for players of their own race but it's quite common regardless of any bias. Talking about biases...Ret and IdrA go back a long way. One might say his recommendations for tournaments to choose/keep on IdrA as a caster are....biased.  Ok, you are right that it wasn't a real trap attempt, so you don't need to report me lol. But right when I hit the "Post" button I started to predict how plansix would respond, and as it turned out my prediction was accurate enough to cause me to lol. You miss the point completely when you try to explain why my post doesn't "make sense". Both of you confuse liking mech with the concept of bias. Then he said "as long as they are funny and amusing, their bias is a minor problem". I don't agree with that, and neither does it seem that plansix really does given the way he responded later. I wasn't completely serious with the Artosis, Avilo , Goody cast, it was just an example I never said that it would be a good cast, just that it would be "funny and amusing" indeed. There was no need to put avilo on the list as Artosis and Goody would have been a good enough suggestion, but I mentioned avilo because I sensed that it might cause some kind of short circuiting in Plansix's logic. So the ones who makes no sense here are you and Mr. Plansix. | ||

Also worth mentioning is incontrol, I'd love to see him paired with an idra or artosis, or even idra with artosis. | ||
