To whomever don't know who he is: aka "Catspajamas", former caster of IPL, lately working at Blizzard's now-closed San Francisco studio on video content and some WCS casting, all around good guy.

Hope he lands on his feet! Will be interested to hear what he has planned.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I miss the IPL days with him, Painuser, and HD casting. He was definitely the most enthusiastic SC2 caster.

The fact that he still referred to Blizzard as making the vest games in the business suggests his new job is not at a competing game company.

Agreed. Those were the days that I really got into the sc2 professional scene. It all started at IPL with these guys for me. Best of luck Kevin!

Hope he can return to casting in some capacity I enjoyed his commentating.

Hey now, PengWin is good. Pengwin and Catspajamas could be pretty cool.

I really miss his voice. It's from the time when I watched IPTL almost every night. Good times.

checks for other rts games ... checks for mmo's ... checks for tcg's ... checks for hacknslay. Only found some dominated by Blizzard signs. Luckily they don't leave lifeless deserts behind anymore once they are done with a genre. So you still have other options.

Curious what he will be doing, high chance I will atleast look into.
