I still prefer Tastosis due to the chemistry.

Idra and Khaldor really worked well together though, and I thoroughly enjoyed their casting. I hope they team up again soon.

I enjoyed their casting. Idra is so diferent from any other caster that even if it was bad it would be interesting just because it's novel.

They worked a lot better than I would have expected, especially for a first cast together. Wouldn't call them the best though.

Awesome duo, defnitly. But still ... Snute + Socke, that fire, that passion, nothing comes even close.

I think Tastosis is still better, but Khal Idra is really good too, comes in second best. I'd like to see Apollo Idra, that would be epic !

As much as I love the Idra/khal combo, Im still leaning towards the classic Tastetosis. But Khaldor/Idra have definitely become my 2nd choice.

I love Idra no matter who he casts with simply because he is the most educated in terms of strategy and has the best game sense of any caster. It's great to see educated input in what's happening with the game.

For a first time cast Idra/Khaldor were definitely the best. But something has to be said for years spent together and building up compatibility, therefore, Tasteosis takes the cake in my books.

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...

It's very good for their first time casting together, IdrA definitely surprised me and i'm kinda glad that he's actually casting now instead of playing full time

Sorry, but it's KhaldrA. Look, I said so right here:

But seriously; Why does everything have to be a competition? I enjoyed their cast a lot as do I enjoy several other casters/ duo's. Variety is most important here; I wouldn't want every tournament I watch being casted by the same people. Fortunately that's not necessary (or possible) because we've got quite a few good casters out there.
I Protoss winner, could it be?

IdrA's tone is a bit monotonous for me, and it became quite clear as the days went on that he wasn't used to casting for multiple hours on end, and he'd get tired. I guess that's something he just needs to work on.

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.

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.


Revival and Polt are not "top level koreans." Top level Koreans are the likes of Innovation, Flash, Soulkey, Life, Rain, sOs, etc. Also, getting 4-0'd out of the group stage doesn't really help much, anyways. And, that was almost 3 months ago. Take any pro-gamer out of their practice environment for 3 months and see how much they regress vs. the rest of the still-active and rapidly changing scene.

I'm not the one that is exaggerating here. Am I wrong to say that Idra is no longer a pro-gamer? So, why should we consider his opinion on that level? That's all I'm saying. You can't have your cake and eat it, too.
