Yeah, great casts. I really hope that IdrA gets hired for a lot of events.
The only caster who is better (in almost any combination) is Apollo.

Didn't he say something like "so many forcefields" or "lots of forcefields?" Game was on Bel'shir Vestige.

I thought they were really good and it was surprising to hear and see a more relaxed and happy Idra. I can't remember hearing him laugh so much lol... But I kind of think it's due to Khaldor as well, they seem to get along well for some reason which is cool.

Definitely Idra is the more analytical but tbh I don't feel like Khaldor is playbyplay only, he actually knows a hell of a lot simply because he casts a ton of shit all the fucking time... like really, the guy is a casting machine. Khaldor has also casted for a loooooong time since the warcraft 3 days yaknow. Albeit in german for the most part but still, he's not a newcomer to casting.

And knows what RTS games are about.. He also seems to be the kind of person who talks to alot of pro gamers and discuss the game frequently so he definitely has a lot of insights into builds and sc2 in general, plus the different players, cus he knows them and casts them and sees them play all the time. The guy should get a bit more recognition from people who thinks he's just a playbyplay caster who tries hard. He's actually pretty fucking good and mega invested..

tahts my 2cents..

P.S Tastosis are still the best OP. I'm sorry.

He might know a lot about the scene but he knows very little about the game itself. Surely by now he would know the timings that terrans/zergs/protosses take there thirds at etc, or that a starport at 5 minutes is super early and indicative of banshees, or really a whole list of things.

Very good, but no one can take the place of Tastosis in my heart.

I'll be honest and say I loved the analytical casting of idra, gotta work on the monotone a bit but other then that really enjoyed his casting. Hope I can see more soon :D Oh and the slight imba whines or whatever people think they were, are actually entertaining for me. Personalized touches and opinions I find are great, you don't have to be COMPLETELY impartial when casting a match.
Never argue with an idiot, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Idra- far more knowledgeable than any "analytical" caster on the scene besides maybe Artosis.


I watched the entire broadcast without cringing or muting the volume from superfluous screaming and shouting.

To me, they are the best I've heard.

i enjoyed their first cast immensely. some constructive feedback is that i think they crossed over into each other's territories (analytics/play by play) a little more than they needed to.

oh idra and the hate hes got for protoss lol .. just kidding

i agree that the duo was great but they just lack the enthusiasm that makes me watch tastosis or apollo and technically anyone(seriously apollo is entertaining as fvck with anyone)

though i have to agree that idra's commenting has content and almost everything he says is a really thought out well done analysis

they still lack the little part called goofing a little .. it makes sc2 not so boring to watch .. and they make a perfect duo if they added that a little but .. although they are great and just a little more work they might be on par with fanfavorites like tastosis

At the very least, it is pretty awesome that our community has a wide variety of casters we consider good or great (who are also spread out in each of the major regions, yet not locked to those areas).

They were great, but I don't know about the best ever. Put any of the best player-casters together with an experienced caster and the result will be that good. For example: Idra/Grubby/Hasuobs/Tod with Khaldor/Apollo/Artosis/Bitterdam, you can't go wrong with those combinations.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Best casting duo is a bit of a stretch. I think Idra will be alot better once he gets more comfortable with mixing in a more relaxing/entertainer vibe, as it didn't seem as well presented as tastosis. (just my opinion)

What I personally really really enjoyed was the refreshing bluntness and the intelligence of the casting. Instead of saying the generic phrases such as "oh that was interesting, lets see how it turns out", Idra would say "this is silly/terrible/bad, ...explanation..." which in it self is humours but also extremely insightful.
It's not about winning but the prevention of defeat.

idra is great ..

idra is the analytical side
now he just needs a caster that brings hype and and mood on the casting table

if he had that partner we might see someone as good as tastosis probably better

They did a surprisingly good job casting together and I enjoyed it however...

The issue I have with them is that they both have a strong tendency to whine... or perhaps be very critical. Instead of the "exciting clash of the titans" feel I get the "horrible noobs playing a broken game" feel. No way they are getting to the top with that attitude in my world.

Idra's on prozac, his life is brigther since then! But for sure Khaldor+Idra combo is very good. Loved the stream.

Idra cast was quite good for a first try in a major event. But I feel there is still rooms for improvement in his cast, I would like to see him more enthusistic about the game, and I think he still talks way too quickly sometimes.

Good job to Idra and Khaldor, but no, that is definitely not my prefered casting duo :p
