I don't like that Kaelaris says "here" after pretty much everything, but still I have to say that he is really into his job and does a lot of preparation work before the games. This is something that I think other casters don't do as much, at least this is what it feels like to me. Play-by-play casts are fine but that + insight into the strategies is even better in my opinion. This is also the reason why I would love to see a player caster like Grubby or IdrA.

I don't know, but I think that almost everyone would prefer him over Mr. Bitter.

Don't be mean and wrong. Mr bitter is great.

Awww yisss! Amazing! I think this is the first event in history where I like every caster! In fact, I like Day[9] the least, casting wise. Never thought I would say that about an event :D

I can't wait, it's gonna be great! great players, great casters. No reason not to watch every single game!

I'm surprised so many people are sad Kaelaris isn't there. Personally I don't like his casting at all and I thought most people didn't. I have to admit that he is working in beast mode, so it would have been well deserved for him to be there. I don't mind his absence, he deserves a lot of credit for his work though...

Some good casters, some bad ones, would have prefered some pro gamers who can give more insight as things unfold. Regarding Tasteless, i find him very boring and a pain to listen too, but hey, he is Day9s brother so i guess they come in package or not at all. Too bad Tod or Kaelaris or not in the lineup,really got used to them.

Surprised at the no love for BitterdaM, I think they're one of the best duos in the business. I'm glad they'll be there. I don't want to get into petty hating on casters, but if I had to pick three duos (not in any order) it'd be:

BitterdaM
Artosis & Apollo
Khaldor & Wolf

I'd also have loved to see ToD in the mix somewhere. I think ToD's done a spectacular job for WCS EU this year.

Im glad theres no kaelaris. Im sure hes a supernice guy and has a great mentality but he speaks a lot of rubbish and I suspect he tries to speak faster than he can handle, thus ending up in truism after truism.

Wouldnt mind no apollo either, hes good but hes in just about every event.

Haven't cared or paid much attention to Starcraft since the launch of HotS but I am beyond excited for Blizzcon for some reason,

Kaeleris casting WCS all year long only to get replaced by Day9 when it truely matters, that's mean :[

Agreed, that is very mean.
Also, I hope they have some good translators like chobra for the interviews and stuff

Never understood where this dislike of the plott brothers comes from, I still love tasteless at GOM and apart from maybe Apollo still easily the best co caster for Artosis. Personally I have never seen a Day9 cast I didn't absolutely love, I can agree that the quality went down for a few months but that was quite some time ago and just looking at his most recent cast at WCS NA finals it was superb imo.

I like both Plott's so I won't be joining in on the whine fest here. Kaelaris/ToD would've been great but I really like Incontrol/TB too so w/e. I think the casting line up is great.

I'd rather see Day9 cohost with RedEye and see Kaeleris as the 6th caster.

this would be ideal

or maybe tod as the sixth caster

Feels like Apollo is being left out a bit. The other 4 have their standard with them. I hope Tasteless not only casts with Artosis. Would make for some interesting casting

I'm happy for this line up.

Shaun 'Apollo' Clark - @ApolloSC2
Dan 'Artosis' Stemkoski - @Artosis
Nicolas 'Tasteless' Plott - @CallMeTasteless
Sean 'Day[9]' Plott - @day9tv
Ben 'MrBitter' Nichol - @MrBitterTV
Kevin 'RotterdaM' van der Kooi - @RotterdaM08

Having said that I would choose some european casters like Kaelaris and Tod over MrBitter and Rotterdam, but I understand the choice because this is gonna take place in Canada.
Apollo and Artosis are The Best. They know all races. They are very good casting except when apollo is way high in the sky

I dont really care about Tasteless, but he's good. Not a problem for me.
Very happy to see Day9. This guy breath Starcraft and is close with many fans like me.
These days I really like rotterdam that guy shine when he's casting Protoss.
MrBitter will fit the first games of the tournament. When a chilly mood is needed.
