For the world’s biggest StarCraft II event, we bring more than just players from each WCS region! We also bring the hosts, casters, experts and observers that make the show possible. These authorities of eSports will bring their unique regional knowledge of the pros to engage in heated debate and impart unique insights.

WCS Global Finals – Round of 16 – 10:00 a.m. PDT, Nov 1

The Opening Weekend will have a more intimate, in-studio setting, with our initial wave of talent flying in. The crew includes:

Hosts: Paul “Redeye” Chaloner will return with a new partner in crime, Sue “Smix” Lee. They’ll keep the show flowing, ask players the tough questions, and keep the rest of our shoutcasting team in check.

Casters: the usual suspects will join us to shoutcast the Round of 16

Shaun “Apollo” Clark
Dan “Artosis” Stemkoski
Nick “Tasteless” Plott
Kevin “RotterdaM” van der Kooi
Nathan “Nathanias” Fabrikant
Observer: Florence “flo” Yao has been holding down the observer desk at WCS America for two seasons now. She’ll reprise that role in the ESL Burbank Studio one last time in 2014 for the Global Finals Round of 16 matches.

WCS Global Finals – BlizzCon – 12:00 p.m. PST, Nov 7-8

We’re pulling out all the stops and adding a bevy of additional talent once the quarterfinals get going at the BlizzCon Arena in Anaheim on Friday, November 7.

Nick “Tasteless” Plott will take over as the panel host for the expert desk.

Casters and Experts: these personalities will be added to the mix as well:

Sean “Day[9]” Plott
James “Kaelaris” Carrol
Yoan “ToD” Merlo
Andrew “mOOnGLaDe” Pender
Observers: the tag team of Phil “Infeza” Bertino and Alexandre “FunKa” Verrier will be back again this year to capture every moment of micro and macro once we arrive at the BlizzCon Arena.

But these won’t be the only folks shoutcasting BlizzCon! We will also have thirteen different languages available through community streaming partners that you can find on the BlizzCon Tournaments hub.

The StarCraft II World Championship Series Global Finals begin on November 1, 2014 with the in-studio Opening Weekend, and conclude at BlizzCon November 7-8. Buy tickets now for WCS Global Finals in the BlizzCon Arena!

The other day incontrol was really bummed about something on stream. I'm assuming this is what he was refering to. It probably stings really badly to have Kaelaris to be working blizzcon over your when you've dedicated your entire life to starcraft

THANK YOU STARCRAFT GODS

Also, really excited that Day9 is casting as well! :D
But, it's a bit sad seeing no Incontrol :/

Last year Kaelaris was the ONLY WCS caster who wasn't invited to BlizzCon. It would have been disgusting if he wasn't invited again this year. I like iNcontroL but he's mostly working with DreamHack.

Seems kind of dumb not to have any of the casters from spotv, proleague being so big and all. But then again what do I know maybe they invited Wolf and he rejected, guess we'll never know.

Edit: Yeah I guess mOOnGLaDe is there, that counts for something atleast. Although he probably would not have been if he had not casted DH.
S4 Arrows, never forget. RIP Woongjin Stars.

I like everybody who was invited, but I can see where certain people who were snubbed are coming from. Either way looks like everything is gonna be awesome from the production end of things!

the lack of incontrol makes me wonder if blizzard even thinks about their moves because lately it seems like they are just absolutely hopeless in terms of decision making
it's good to be the king

I'm sure we'll see iNcontrol at DH Winter, but he was never really involved with WCS and the lineup makes perfect sense I think.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I guess these tweets are about this.
