Well there's no way to make everyone happy with a caster list, but they did their best! I think it'll be great.

In general this is a great line-up. The only flaw is the absence of Kaelaris, who I would prefer over Day[9], but you can´t have everything I guess.

Very nice casting line up. Really looking forward - though I too am going to miss Kaelaris. I have no idea, why they wouldn't bring him to blizzcon where he belongs.

Day9 is there simply because he is Day9. I would rather see him as host and then Apollo casting along with Kaelaris. But could be worse as Day9 and Apollo have casted together in the past and it has been watchable.

I hope for next year Day9 will start more casting so he actually has to compete for his spot and not simply given to him.

WTF is wrong with you?

Disliking a caster is understandable, but saying that his absence adds so much to this? That is simply disrespectful towards one of the most dedicated and hardworking members of this whole scene.



So criticizing kaelaris isn't OK... but bashing Tasteless is??

Tasteless was the pioneer of casting SC2 with Artosis. I don't see you saying the same thing for the 100 comments about Tasteless.


I don't like Kaelaris either... it's a preference... I guess it's an american thing. I'd rather have incontrol there as well.

When i hear tasteless no matter how crap the game is, i keep the stream on.... if i hear kaelaris and it's a bad game, i turn it off. I watched GSL's just because these casters. I don't even play SC2 anymore but i still only watch GSL because tastosis.

You're standing up for a caster you like.... I don't see you standing up for Tasteless when he helped developed the scene.

The caster duos and absence of Kaelaris makes a little more sense when you look at the casting duos for last year's WCS finals. There were FIVE duos because there were up to 4 games going on at the same time, so you had:

Tasteosis
BitterdaM
Apollo/Day9
Kaelaris/Khaldor
Axeltoss/Axslav

I guess this year they didn't want to change any of the duos, but because there's at most 2 games going on at a time you only need 3 teams; so Kaelaris, Khaldor, Axeltoss and Axslav are out.

Day9 and Apollo have been casting big events together since forever. What's the problem all of a sudden?

They got the most popular casters in the scene for the most important event of the year. People should be happy IMO. The other casters mentioned are great ofc, but be happy!

People will only be happy once Sc2 is dead and gone.

But in all seriousness, you will hardly find a more critical and unforgiving(bitching?) crowd in all of esports. Factor in that people on the internet tend to think they are entitled to everything and want it NOW...

Of course that's not everyone and the community as a whole is still kinda great, yet such things and like self-fulfilling prophecies and doomsaying are really tiresome for someone who just follows it.

I can only imagine how much worse it must be for people actually doing the great content and work in the esports business.

I hope Kaelaris takes this well. I guess with only 6 spots someone must be left out........Why not just add him in?? It's not like you don't owe him Blizzard.

I really don't think he is the one people miss the most truthfully. Surprised there is such a vocal minority supporting him. 6 casters is quite a lot for a 16 man tournament already, dunno how many casters you want...

In what sport do you have 6 casters for 16 matches? Not to mention more than that.

Well, is your disagreement that strong to provide a more elaborate counterargument then?

Considering that you don't need more than 6 casters for an event this size, this line-up is great.

My ideal line-up would be:

Tastetosis
Apollo/who ever he is most comfortable with, but it would be nice to have Husky there
TB/Incontrol

I'd like to know if Kaelaris was dropped for Day9 or for other reasons. I don't like him as much as a caster as I like Day9, but if that's the case, he must feel really fooled.
