I was hoping about Khaldor to be involved in this. And it would be interesting to see Demuslim with Grubby casting game, they both have the very best game understanding and they both are perfect in analysing the game. Maybe next time tho...
Gonna be one sick event. Not too happy about Demuslim though as I don't really value someone who plays on NA when given the chance to play on KR with decent ping, but EG is more about being a "personality" than being a competitive player anyway (unless you are Korean). Would be sick to see Wolf or Day 9 at DH again. This lineup is pretty sick though so I can't really complain.
I love this panel idea, hope it works out nicely. I like all of the casters, but I'm sad they didn't get Nathanias again, I think he did a great job at dreamhack the last time
I don't really understand the people that like Incontrol, he most times just goofs off and makes a mockery of games. Rarely gets any deep game analyzes and rarely points out whats happening on other parts of the map. I also get a very indifferent attitude from him, sometimes very neutral casting is good compared to some casters being very biased (race or specific player) but Incontrol just seems to genuinely not really care.
He watches the game and points out obvious things like how player is going for a blink all in but I really miss deeper observations like why he went for that build and it just seems like he doesn't really care enough to think about it. I just miss enthusiasm and drive from him which really cools the hype and interest in the game off when the caster doesn't even seem to be very interested.
Going to really miss Apollo I hope he has an awesome time at his brothers wedding and that we'll see him back soon, he is on the other hand my favorite caster.

Artosis is going to be awesome =)
Incontrol intimidates people into liking him... - even Khaldor would not take him on! >
Speaking of Khaldor - why isn't he a part of DH team? Would have liked to see him there...

he probably has to fill in for tasteless in korea. i woulda liked to see him too, he's easily my favorite caster.
man EG must have no faith in demuslim, poor guy couldnt go outside the states for a very long time to attend tournaments, and now he is in europe he doesnt get to play in them? wtf

He probably wants to get paid, so he decided to cast.

not sure if shots fired at payout structure or demuslim's skill

Likely both.
Seeing how Demuslim's staying at the GD house now and isn't (as far as I know) playing SC2 (instead lots of D3 and some dota 2), it shouldn't come as such a surprise that he'd not attend tournaments as a player.

My thoughts exactly.
I am quite happy with Tastosis. They are usually doing better job outside of GSL where they just goof around, and in last months it was Wolf and Tasteless mostly casting GSL code S(and they actually were pretty good), so it is not like that I heard a lot of them in past few months.
Great people. Awesome to have incontrol as an expert/commentator rather than host/MC!! (I mean - he does it well, but he has a ton of detailed game knowledge to talk about)
Wow this is a SICK looking lineup! Sad Apollo had to be elsewhere, but Tastosis, what the? Must have been expensive for Dreamhack. Great job getting them to come!
A little bit disapointed with demuslim casting. He is so much biased in his analysis towards terrans and is known for being a balance whinner. Let us do the balance whining + terran biased on LR !! It's not caster's job !

As Serinox mentioned, he's been in Europe this year, but the last SC2 event outside of Korea I remember him doing was the WCS Blizzcon finals last year and before that casting the WCS 2012 UK qualifiers waaaaay way back. He probably has done more in between that though.
Not really a fan of tasteless anymore, it seems like his gameknowledge went downhill ever since HotS came out. He is a good hype caster but since I like a lot of depth in casts and not just a voiced over version of what I can see he really doesn't fit my likes. Any combination of Artosis with EG is good in my opinion. Geoff might not be the most liked person in the scene but he does know a lot! DeMuslim is just a sweet guy, can't dislike him.

Also, Tasteless looks like a chubby wicked Spock on the above picture.
Whether or not Incontrol's casting is on Apollo's level is debatable (probably not), but he most certainly does add entertainment value. He is consistently hilarious and Dreamhack (actually mostly Robert Ohlén) has made it very clear with their shows in the past that they value entertainment. Incontrol's a good choice.

I often watch him play, but I have never seen him balance-whine. He is always looking for improvement.
Wish we could have had apollo instead of Incontrol, hopefully they dont make him cast a pvz because i cant take another hour of him bitching about how boring of a game it is.
Looking forward to hear Ben's casting at a tournament. I missed it the last time where people said it was really good. I'm sure the rest of the hosts/casters will be great as always.
Interested in seeing how DeMuslim works out as a caster - seems like a great guy from streaming. Incontrol does add the humor (someone help him with his hair & clothes please). Tasteless seems lost some of the time but Artosis usually handles him & the commentary well. I miss seeing more of Khaldor, a great caster and a nice view for us few female fans. Apollo is being a good brother and will be missed.

Isn't Khaldor on like every single day this past week? Great caster, sorry to see him go from code A but I'm going off top
So great to see Tasteless at this event! Will be interested to see how DeMuslim does as a caster/host too. Always love iNcontroL and Artosis of course Sooo excited!
