Best wishes :D 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. | ||

Or ESL has snagged him for WCS AM/EU. Or maybe he's going to start casting Falcon launches for Elon Musk. Whatever it is, best wishes to him going forward. | ||

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. | ||

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!  | ||
