It'd be great to see Idra cast WCS AM. They could use a few more good casters there | ||

Idra still needs to improve a lot. Casting isn't just about game knowledge, voice matters a lot and his isn't pleasant to listen to for extended hours. | ||

one potential issue i see with Khildror (!  ) is if they can function together on a daily basis. idra's casting adds a huge portion of dry humor and ... lets call it "soberness" to the casting. for high-profile games or on an occassional basis, i really like that. but Im not sure if i would enjoy such a casting style when Im heavily exposed to it. tastosis' more casual style and meaningless banter about random, nerdy things is more easily made working in high doses than the more professional, sober style of Khildror. anyway, i enjoyed their casting of rog immensely. keep it up! | ||

Khaldor also has the tendency to completely ignore what his caster is saying and just speaks his mind (often repeating what his co-caster has said). He hasn't done that much with Idra but he does do it with Wolf constantly. Idra still needs to improve a lot. Casting isn't just about game knowledge, voice matters a lot and his isn't pleasant to listen to for extended hours. yes but doing something with someone else does not make you do it with this new person (not a relationship ref) idra is calm and willing to let the other caster speak and khaldor is willing to defer to idras expertise. wolf isnt an expert and its possible khaldor doesnt respect his analysis as much as idra | ||

I hope to see them work together more often. They definitely seem to be one of the better casting duos. | ||

But then you have Idra (and Apollo/Artosis) who impart game knowledge without the statistics. This has some nice synergy (at least for now) while Idra talks about how the game is turning out and Khaldor keeps us up to date on what's going on (and gives the energy), but there's still a little bit of hesitation where I feel Idra's casting might be a bit too analytic and the analytic style overpowers a partner who isn't as analytic as he is. I'm sure though that Greg is trying his best to improve as a caster, and you can't really blame him since it's his first casting job. It'll be great to follow him as he casts more. Not quite the best yet but it's a noticeable improvement over casters who don't play the game at a high level. I also really enjoy how when one player has completely lost and hasn't gg'd yet, Idra is a bit confused as to whether he should continue casting and just goes "yeah he's basically dead." I'm not sure what's the best thing to say in that situation either, but it's funny to watch. | ||

Idra I think needs to get more comfortable with the ebb and flow of a game I felt like he stumbled over himself a lot which I think is something he'll get better at as he does more gigs like this. On the plus side though, his analysis of builds and timings was very sharp. I felt Khaldor at times could also be a little dominating in the casts mostly because he could so easily talk over Idra. A few times I heard him cut Greg off mid sentence while he was analyzing something which is something he tends to do with Wolf except Wolf just keeps talking anyway I guess because he's comfortable with the interjections. That kind of thing gets fixed through increased experience with your co-caster. I wouldn't even be commenting at all if they weren't receiving such an unusual amount of praise both here and on Reddit. I just don't see it warranted but that's just me. They weren't bad but they didn't strike me as the holy grail of casting duos either. | ||

His little jokes are dry and funny as well, something along the line like "toss is on two base but if you look at it, he has all the high value units that it needs, it's quite silly" and then you see the toss has like 4 colossus and double stargate production on 2 base and just makes you agree with him. | ||
