Awesome news imo. Kevin should be on the front stage of esports, not working backstage. I miss IPL tons! Fight night and Hyunn are huge parts of why I'm into esports. IPL > than WCS imo. Was sooooo pissed when the brand got cut.

Kevin Knocke and Doa were the first live casting duo I listened to, good times. It'll be interesting to see what he does next

I remember how he was debating which zerg made the most infestors, making it sound interresting and never using the word overpowered! He might be the best play-by-play caster out there, at least on par with Kalearis. Give him an analytical partner, and he shoud shine!

If only JimmyJRaynor were here to explain to us why he left... I guess we'll never know

A lot of community management, and occasional farming out to cast events Blizzard had an active hand in - WCS Challenger with Gretorp when there wasn't an available co-caster, Tespa Hearthstone at PAX East, and the Innkeeper's Invitational with TotalBiscuit.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

I'm sure he'll land on his feet. This guy is so passionate about everything he does...

I wish you all the best, Kevin!

I don't know what to make of your "suspicion" other than you might seriously be paranoid. If you other posters have not looked at the tweets he made about racism they're pretty straightforward and obvious; and moreover, it has an extra impact for him since he is apparently from that area. Refusing to do the ice bucket challenge and making the above comments is in no way connected to this I would have to imagine.. lol


Good luck to Kevin. I knew him WAY back at the start of SCII and he was nice enough back then to cast basically anyone because he is so passionate about what he does. He enjoyed casting the early events from SC2GG and it was a real pleasure to see him go so far. Hope he gets back onto the mainstage. I really enjoyed his introductions and casting. He was also one of the casters who I felt understood the game pretty well, which is quite rare!
