As for DreamHack Bucharest, the event will be commented by a panel of experts, this time lead by Sue "Smix" Lee. She is replaced by Susie "Lilsusie" Kim for the interviews.
Sue "Smix" Lee - Panel Host Geoff "iNcontroL" Robinson - Expert Shaun "Apollo" Clark - Expert Nathan "Nathanias" Fabrikant - Expert Susie "Lilsusie" Kim - Host
Apollo, Incontrol and Mario casting? I'm ok with this. Gonna miss the Tasteless host though, he did fantastic at Bucharest, will be interesting to see how Smix does at it.
Lol experts. They are no doubt experts, the title just comes across a bit.. douchey. Great line up non the less, I am a big fan of Nathanias's casting. One of the best solo casters imo.
So many "experts" Sick line-up, even though I chime in that Tasteless was great as host at Bucharest - let's hope that Smix will do just as great like she did in the past, too.

Unrelated, but all that "expert-talk" on page 1 reminds of a (sadly, often true) sketch on youtube: The Expert
why is smix hosting the panel i dont see her fitting in that setting at all, tasteless did amazing at Bucharest, i dont see smix being even comparable to tasteless on the level of interacting with the casters and keeping the show going if there are any hiccups

Yeah, who's this lilsusie girl? DOES SHE EVEN LIFT?!
On a more serious note, I'm super honored and excited to be a part of this! Smix will do great as well - she's been a part of DH for awhile now. I'm happy to be working with guys I've known forever (Shaun and Geoff) and been talking to some of the players who are going to attend; it'll be good to see some familiar faces again
i think the difference Tasteless made in Bucharest will be quite noticable whenever they have to fill more time than expected. But unless something goes horribly wrong it will be lots of fun to watch either way and who knows maybe Smix as panel host will be a positive suprise.
Very excited to watch this lineup. I disagree with most responses thus far. Calling them "experts" needs to not be a stretch of the truth. They are commentators, shout-casters, analyzers, etc. why limit them with a specific title rather then describe their title appropriately generally. Also, I'm not a fan of how Tasteless buys time, or how he communicates in general. Very excited for this next one!

I hope she practiced speaking in front of cameras. Last time I saw her it was a bit cringeworthy ("like... youknow...") Fingers crossed for the NONEXPERT girls

you're a crazy person. ToD <3
anyways looks like a great lineup. i, like many others in this thread, would've loved to see Tasteless again after the amazing job he did in Bucharest, but this is awesome nevertheless.
Ya, was always a bigger fan of artosis/tasteless myself. Honestly, as a whole, I would prefer kaelaris/tod. I always look forward to dreamhack but this one definately seems a bit lackluster in the lineup. Hopefully the games won't disappoint. At least incontrol will be there to crack a joke or two and keep things interesting.
While I agree Tasteless will always be missed wherever he is not, I think having him appear sparingly makes it all the sweeter when he does decide to leave Korea. Also missing ToD, but looks decent.
Sucks to have no tastosis, but great to see Apollo back. Also love DH for giving Nathanias more chances to cast, I'm not a huge fan of his casting but it's really hard in our scene to make it as a new caster and I'm glad nathanias is able to make it. Also fuck yea lilsusie, always great to have people on that have been around since the BW days. Gonna be interesting to see Smix hosting the panel, Tasteless set the bar pretty high at Bucharest.

actually i think he's a pretty stellar analyst! even if i don't always personally care for his casting style or appreciate 100% of his humor, i don't think i've ever thought of his analysis as anything less than A+
Sorry if this question has already been answered but.. WHERE has Day[9] been? I know he still does daily's but does he do anymore casting at tournaments? i miss the dude. again sorry if this has been answered.

Caster != Expert. There are plenty of casters that have no clue... but they pretend to know...
who fucking cares?
subway calls their employees "sandwich artists." what god damn difference does it make to anything or anyone? the things people manage to complain about... good lord

Wait, they aren't artist? I thought they went school for that stuff. Why would you ruin all that I know to be true??????

Day9 currently has a lot on his plate right now. I believe he is working on developing a game, but there's not a whole lot of information on it yet.

I love your casting, but you say "Honestly" so much! Haha, I made a drinking game out of it last time... Cheers for drunk SC2 viewing xD
P.S. why is this ending on a Monday?
Yeah.. it's funny. Casters generally find a "safety" word that they don't know they are relying on a lot. I've had a few <3
Oh definitely! I hosted a small tournament, much more nerve racking than you would imagine, even if only 30 people are watching.. Well maybe not nerve racking, but you try to keep things rolling end keep people entertained isn't as easy as some would-be casters think.
I really like iNcontroL as a caster, I especially enjoyed when he was thrown between Tasteless and Artosis. They keep him on his toes, it's nice. 2GD has the same effect but casting with him would eventually get both of them fired for offending someone/some large group of people.

great lineup nonetheless
Only thing which could make it better is a zergie caster like Ret.
