EPTIdra hasn't changed his casting a single bit and still sounds like unemotional robot.
I'm sure he brings his fanbase to the stream but viewer numbers looked poor anyway so maybe we can have a half-decent caster next time.
Idra/Khaldor the best casting duo thus far - Page 9

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. Revival and Polt aren't top level Koreans? LOL Both of them won tournaments recently. You're quite the elitist. I guess according to you, if they aren't top 5 in the world, they are shit. Truth of the matter is, it doesn't make any difference to the audience whether they are top 200 gm or top 5. 99.999 % of people who watch sc2 couldn't tell the difference. | ||

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. I totally agree. Also, even though I really enjoyed idra+khaldor, I would LOVE to see idra+apollo! Those two personalities could make the best casting duo imo. | ||

Just after that like 10 hydras got caught in other force fields, after which he said they were caught very efficiently by so few force fields.Dry humor is the best humor. Idra was always like this, but we never got to see it. Also, we never got to hear him say "Good forcefields" That's close enough to me.^^ but on them as a casting duo, it was better then i thought it'd be. I hope they keep up the good work  | ||

I particularly liked the honesty of IdrA during the casts. He says it the way it is (e. g. who the better player is or which mistake led to the loss of one particular player). Although, when LiveZerg played Taeja in the group stage, IdrA mentioned before the game that he has some bad memories about LiveZerg to whom he lost some months or even years ago (I don´t remember it exactly). Then as the match progresses he kinda "bashed" LiveZerg for making a few mistakes. In one fight, IdrA criticised the army conrol of LiveZerg and repeatedly stressed it. He has to avoid these things and to stop being biased. Nontheless the casting was excellent, despite sometimes Idra made a weird stare into the camera which gave me the creeps :D | ||

I appreciate how much work Khaldor puts into this community but his casting just isn't good. Overexcitement for situations, boring phrases all over and over (I guess that goes with a lot of casters), he used to missjudge a lot and still does( it got a LOT better tho) and he tends to have som biased for matches. Btw, Wolf doesn't get enough recognition for how much of a good caster he is. Let Wolf cast more with people and you will see how much superior he is to most of the casters | ||

I personally think the best casting duo is Apollo and Kaelaris followed by Apollo and Day9 and Apollo and iNcontrol when he casts. | ||

He just ignores a lot of the things going on so he can talk about what he thinks people need to hear. I have to agree. He just ignores stuff that he doesnt want to talk about. That mostly destroys any synnergy with the other caster. He is very dominant and some time ago he used to make his cocaster look bad. Dunno if it changed much but his huge ego is a something that makes him stagnate in his progress in getting better in my opinion. It just somtetimes feels like he is throwing stones into the gear. Thats ok with Wolf since Wolf seems to be going with this and doesnt bring stuff Khaldor doesnt want to talk about. Also IdrA & Khalldor often retold the same thing 3 times in a row which i found kind of funny. Their casting style is very analytic and similar so they tell the story more than once after each game/situation. Id like to see IdrA with some more ppl since his casting really felt fresh. He has some kind of humor and is trying to improve which you can hear during the cast. He makes some bad calls but thats something he can work on. Overall it was ok but far from best. Which you cant even say when they cast only once together., You need to work together more often. | ||

He's one of the most knowledgeable casters and is right like most of the time, rarely is he ever wrong o_O On August 04 2013 19:13 Liman wrote: Idra is not bad but lacks casting personality+sometimes he mumbles.He can get better but probably will never get as good as top casters. He's already a top caster just by knowledge alone imo at least. Some people look for other things when they try to find a caster they enjoy, whether that's knowledge about the game etc | ||
