Anyway the rest of the line up is awesome so it will make up for it. I agree. I really prefer native English speakers (or casters who completely got rid of their accent) as casters. For the same reason I don't really enjoy rotti's casts; his accent is pretty terrible. It just feels a lot more professional when an English cast is done by native speakers, in my opinion. | ||

Anyway the rest of the line up is awesome so it will make up for it. I like him especially because of that French accent. Also the 'when I play him on ladder..' tidbits in his cast are the best thing ever. And finally, he has something special in his voice, just the joy I guess, when he talks about protoss builds etc. It helps I am also a protoss, I guess, but I just adore his casting | ||

A great casting line-up for a (hopefully) great event. I think the player lineup is a good mix of robots and fan favorites, so this should turn out to be a great weekend of Starcraft. A little sad that Tasteless isn't coming with Artosis, but I like a little mix-up, too. | ||

Chobra is the translator guy, so I don't really care that much. Kaelaris tries to hard and is akward. no idea who Redeye is. Artosis is my man. Apollo is more than tolerable. Rotterdam... just... no. bad accent, bad game knowledge. to sum it up: I'm no hype =( | ||

JP did a Real Talk with Tasteless a while back where he pretty much said that he just doesn't really need the moneys anymore from the foreign events and while Artosis has his lil baby he's in a much different situation. Seems like Tasteless is just enjoying life while he can ^^, more power to him I say! Along with that at the start of SC2 he and Artosis actually had a thing going where they would, from a marketing viewpoint, only offer themselves as an Archon rather than individual casters. Then for some reason we can only guess at (probably Artosis getting a lil kid and thus being in a different financial situation), they broke with that initial setup so Dan could easier get himself marketed to the international tournaments without the cost of a second caster in tow. Just speculation ofcourse, but that just makes Tasteless even more awesome in my book. So <3 to both of em! | ||

Anyway the rest of the line up is awesome so it will make up for it. Couldn't disagree more. Love the french accent. It's not difficult at all to understand and he speaks english extremely well. Plus he is just a great caster. He's unbelievably biased and cries on twitter all the time, but manages to control it quite well for the casts IMO.Either way, I find his ranting about balance quite humorous One of my favourites! | ||

Or, per Tasteless, Artosis just wants to make more money, while Tasteless values his time in Korea doing whatever Tasteless does. They are both fine, it is just that Artosis doing a bit more and Tasteless is spending time doing things that are not casting I know it is weird for people, but he may just be happy casting in Korea and making a living that way. Who knows, maybe he has taken up the harp and is deep in practice. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Also, seriously? You think they'd fly AN INTERN to an international event, especially one already in the US under a student visa? Not worth the pain it would take. Maybe he can skype it in or something. ToD's not bad, Kaelaris is good, Artosis and Apollo are super hype, and Rotterdam is there to bring in all the ladies. (Okay, he may have to share with Chobra Commander.) TL;dr - yay! Hype. | ||

Who did we have last time? Artosis, Tasteless, DoA, Montecristo, Chobra (well actually, he was not casting, was he?), Apollo, Day[9] ....is that right? Anyone else? | ||

Can't believe how much dumb / invalid / repetitive stuff this guy says during his casts, most stuff is completely dumbed down and totally uninsightfull, jumping to wrong conclusions. Probably just because he feels that he has to hype or just say something. With his "in terms of this and that" nonsense.. Thumbs up for all the other casters. | ||

I was hoping for a single stream, streaming every game with amazing production and filler-content. Too many events do multiple streams with only decent production instead of focusing everything on one single stream. Does anyone know if they'll do a single stream or multiple streams? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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) | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Probably only Tasteless can answer for himself, but in his Real Talk with JP he said he didn't really like to travel and so turned down lots of overseas gigs. He said that Artosis was crazier than him and also needed the income more due to having a family, but that he much preferred to stay in Korea. | ||
