I mean honestly blizz, you have a carte Blanche to get the best casters and you ignore d9 and tasteless yet hire 5-6 guys to whom English is a second language for the English cast of the biggest tourne in the world. So you suggest them ignoring the EU casing talents in a tournament hosted on European soil? Kicking out the ESL guys which are the hosts of the event? You are really not running a business man. You should put "talents" in brackets please. Rotti and tod will never move out of the EU market simply because of the language barrier, simple as. You want to keep them involved? Let them cast the Streams in their native languahes(which their fans would probably like), slap Apollo and artosis together for games and let redeye handle interviews. Even having rotti and tod for analysis post game would be good but as live casters their English is too frustrating, long and drawn out for me to be able to listen to. You are by far the minority who would actualy like that idea, so no they don't "need" to do antything at all as to what you say. Most people enjoy a caster for who they are and not from where they are from.
English is my 3rd language (by chronology of learning) yet I am certain it is better than 99% of those complaining about accents and poor English.

Yay chobra! Time for the best korean interviews ever. He was so good interviewing the coaches for the osl finals

I think I'm the only person on TL who doesn't dislike any caster lol I'm on your side.
Even crota ?
I'm really loving Tod + Kaelaris. When ToD doesn't understand what Kaelaris just say, it becomes hilarious all the time  This will be a really good event.

ToD and Rotterdam have accents that make them understandable for the non english viewers. And also i'm French. And i won't EVER EVER watch a French stream because i really hate the fren/glish talking
Aslo i would love to have TB cast for one of the wcs. Haven't heard him in a while (but did not watch all matches so maybe i missed him)

looks good. There are better casters out there than Kaelaris though.

As much as you are entitled to your opinion, you are also free not to join in on the fun, party pooper that you are.
Last time I checked Rotti was casting WCS for NASL, apparently the EU market has expanded to NA.

When do the groups get announced? What was the timing last season?

no "meh" option?
I seriously don't see what all the fuss is about here. Are these "THE BEST BIGGEST/ most popular" casters in the business? Probably not.
So what? They're a very talented bunch (both individually and as a collective). Sure, not all of them speak native English or with an American accent... but this is supposed to be a "GLOBAL" finals. (I wouldn't complain if when NA holds the finals one of the casters had thick Texan accent.)
I think there are a lot of first rate casters in the business now. It's good that tournaments can keep some costs down by being able to pick different casters. Plenty of people liked what ASUS ROG did with KhaLdra (we even get a poll here because of it). Competition at the premier caster level is nothing but a good thing.

Scrap all of these people, and give all the money you saved to have 2GD and Incontrol host it please.

The lack of ladies is always sad, we need more ladies in the SC2 scene. The rest are being blocked by that Ocean thing that prevents people from just going to any and every event. If you want all the events in one city, then I think we can have everyone there, but it might be kind loud.

Really nice to have Chobra, i think he is by far the best and most professional korean translator in the business nowadays. Very happy for ToD to land a big gig like this to.
Hopefully Maru wins it all !
