Awesome lineup, pretty much perfect (can't have them all at once)

Speaking of: is Day9 done with casting? haven't seen him in ages :-/

I think day9 is working quite hard with Artillery, that company which is doing a web based RTS

Good to see Ret is getting more gigs. He did a great job with Cologne, look forward to it.

Ret did some pretty solid casting last tournament, so I'm really looking forward to this. As weird as it sounds most of the 'well-known' dutch people in the SC2 scene (which are just a few) are also pretty decent at commentating (;-) Waxangel). Rotterdam (obviously), Grubby, Ret, Harstem :-)

It's interesting that we're getting more and more commentators who are actual or former pro players. I suppose it was pretty inevitable, and I can't say I'm not happy to have more high level analysis enter the fray.

I'm really glad were moving away from terms like "caster," they always seem so silly to me. Commentator sounds so much better.

Having pros cast is such a good move. They pick up on things most casters don't see - the sort of fine details you only really get after playiung the game for 6+ hours a day for years.

And Ret is one of the best (yeah fanboy here). Articulate dude with a brain.

Great line up for casting.

Wonder what Redeye will drop this time?
Ex Zerg learning Terran. A bold move.

Pretty severe lack of solid play-by-play in that lineup outside Kaelaris, which is unfortunate considering it could be the biggest SC2 event of the year. Would have liked to see Nathanias there at least. Excellent selection of analysts.
