(after they cast for first ish time) hes casted before and he sucked then. this asus rog cast was the most enjoyable cast, and i have seen every single cast of every tourny (for me it was preferable) things i value.... - acting like a professional (they are not super professional but more so then others) - knowledge but more importantly putting that knowledge into form where i dont have to try hard to understand and i can just enjoy the show. - roles, i dont feel there is a need to talk over anyone. if there is dead air (first 8mins) idra is probably talking about what he thinks might happen, how it will happen, why it should or should not happen and then khaldor chimes in some details but never takes over as the analyst and certainly doesnt talk over him. during action khaldor talks and idra waits for the end of the fight to analyze what happened and give us maybe deeper insight into what khaldor just described in the more broad hyped sense arent u his friend lol did u not enjoy it? | ||

I agree, every time he starts speaking at a slower pace, Khaldor becomes annoying. Idra has notoriety, but he should start playing more Terran and Protoss and hopefully he won't be so biased towards Zerg... Overall an average or below average casting duo. | ||

the show was very funny and educational. you never had the feeling that one of them doesnt really understand the game. of course IdrA has the better gameknowledge but Khaldor didnt make mistakes either. its not like when you hear tastosis... while artosis gives the community a very analytic view on the game, tasteless just randomly throws in the most obvious things in the world or makes some really really weird comments. 10/10 Khaldor and IdrA! | ||

A lot of other casters, even pro level, don't do their homework on other races. As a Terran player, it gets frustrating because everyone and their mother and brothers plays protoss. | ||

But what surprised me was his willingness to learn the other races, especially considering his past history. He has clearly done his homework. I hope it continues in the future. A lot of other casters, even pro level, don't do their homework on other races. As a Terran player, it gets frustrating because everyone and their mother and brothers plays protoss. he aint top 10 gm anymore lol too much anger | ||

Artosis + any number of the people he has casted with (Tasteless, Apollo, Wolf, etc.) Wolf + any number of the people he has casted with (Whiplash, Artosis, Khaldor) And, I personally enjoyed Bitterdam more. Khaldor obviously still has a little accent to his casting. It's not a big deal, but it's still there. He still makes incorrect calls / exaggerates how far ahead / behind a player is and goes overboard bashing players when it's not deserved / a big deal. And, he still makes it hard to take his casting as seriously when he trolls / responds to trolls / holds questionable opinions / biases as much as he currently does. Idra is a better analyst but he hasn't been a top player in a long time so people should stop pretending that he has the opinions of one or the same intricate understandings of the current meta-game. When you leave that profession because you can't cut it anymore, you can't claim its benefits while not dealing with its burdens. He has way too many biases in his casting and as per his happy birthday Starcraft persona, lacks any and all enthusiasm that is vital to being a good caster. It's just like way back when he casted the GSL. His presentation is lacking. | ||

Day9/Husky, Tastosis and Khaldor/Idra are the best at the moment. | ||

It's just like way back when he casted the GSL. His presentation is lacking. Idra was playing top level koreans in WCS NA and top of the NA ladder like 1-2 months ago. You don't just lose that kind of talent overnight. And don't give me this bullshit that NA ladder is full of nubs. We're in NA. That's the ladder we play on. There is a long history of ex players moving to commentary roles in sports. Seems like a natural transition after playing bw and sc2 for years. Don't get me wrong. I'm not a fan of his personality, but bashing his ability to call games is just stupid. | ||
