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
I guess maybe since it's the WCS finals, they want to get as many casters from the different WCS regions as possible? And Incontrol basically just casts Dreamhack. Not saying I agree with the decision, but just trying to see it from their point of view.

Poor incontrol. Maybe he should have casted WCS, although I guess maybe he couldn't

There's a lot of people who are invited here that also had little to nothing to do with WCS this year.

This is a pretty good line-up. I'd have preferred iNcontroL over ToD. Some of ToD's pronunciations kinda irritate me at times plus I love Geoff's banter.
Hope to see a Plott cast at some point, I love it when the Plott brothers cast together.

I've heard Incontrol isn't going because some ppl at blizz don't like him. Really sad, I think his contributions to the show are invaluable, will really miss him there.

Such as?... The only one I see is Day9, and I'm completely okay with them inviting him. He has been one of the most involved people in the SC2 scene since the very beginning. Even with all the time he devotes to making his own game at the moment, he still regularly does his daily and also casts Redbull. The guy is amazing.
Also, I'm counting GSL as WCS because it's basically WCS KR even though technically it's not anymore...

Yay for Apollo and Artosis!

I love Day[9] too and I'm super glad he got an invite. Moonglade and Smix came to mind. Moonglade was perpetually a sub for WCS and casted some Code A, but then again so did Madals. Should he be invited? Also Smix does what Incontrol does: Dreamhack. I am completely happy with everyone who was invited. I think they're all fantastic. I'm just saying that Incontrol isn't there because you can't invite everybody, not just because he didn't cast WCS.

Really love the line up.
I'd agree that in terms of involvement, Incontrol maybe should've been casting aswell, but I can see where blizzard is coming from by not inviting him. I mean, out of all of them, he might be the least professional caster of them. I think he really shines when tournements get closer to the homestorycup type of tournements, and blizzcon is, in my opinion the exact opposite of that. Though I must admit I'm sad aswell that Incontrol won't be there.

Hmm... I agree that Incontrol really fits the HSC type of environment, but he can definitely be professional when he needs to.

I don't think iNcontrol's Korean is on par with Smix Korean though  . And Moonglade is needed for zerg analysis. So I think it basically comes down to iNcontrol or ToD and ToD is just more involved with WCS.

It's the same people that's been doing WCS events (except korean production). Nothing shocking here.
Would have loved korean production like we saw in IPL that one time...
Edit, I'm glad they didn't forget Kaelaris this time, was really weird last time.
|
This is a great lineup. There are so many good casters now spread over the regions. InControl not being part of the list is sad to see but there are so many people on there already... too much even maybe?
Also, don't really understand why it's assumed that Kaelaris took Geoffs place? What about Moonglade?
No complaints though. Great lineup
|
Poor Geoff... And I want to see Clutch, just because how big of a badass he is! ^^
EDIT: I do not want to be mean or anything, but Moonglade does not deserve to go to Blizzcon more than iNcontroL... He is a good caster, but common...

Yay Kaelaris is going :D happy for him

No idea where you got that evaluation from. There is a difference between adding some humor here and there (and it's always a really good piece of humor) and being unprofessional. Incontrol doesn't have anything to do with being unprofessional imo.

I don't think he's talking about being unprofessional, he's just saying that InControl shines by his humor, and that humor being subjective, maybe Blizzard prefers casters that rely less on humor and more on "serious" casting for BlizzCon.

You need a zerg player though, so if anything it was between ToD and iNcontrol. And ToD has been doing WCS stuff all year long.
