When are people going to stop hiring tasteless? He makes GSL pretty hard to bear and is constantly getting worse.

He's a great host though, so I'll be happy when they move him over to that position on Blizzcon weekend.

iNcontroL would've definitely been awesome, but as other people have said, it's about the top 16 StarCraft players in the world.

I'm really happy to see mOOnGLaDe and of course the Plott brothers. (Even though Day9 has been very short on SC2 content/involvement compared to the past and Tasteless has the #passion issues as discussed (lol))

I am not incontrols fanboy but if i count all tournaments i watch with was more fun on desk than without him thats just fact
other setups i just skip till games most of times....... definetly weird choice not taking him in after his great work this year....

On other hand i am happy that apollo and day9 are in . They can find and make more hype for game than others .....
And also best obs in world Funka, clear choice ,will be defenestration if they dont take him in

I'd like to argue that, while he has gotten worse and doesn't seem knowledgeable/seems.. out of it during his casts, he really does perform well when it's a big deal or big tournament. His casting goes up 10 fold and he's actually really good at boosting hype and excitement.

Lineup is as expected. Everybody is there.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

So all the casters are WCS/ GSL plus mOOnGLaDe and Day9. MOOnGLaDe makes sense because they needed a Zerg expert I assume so I guess they shouldn't have chosen Day9 over iNcontroL then? Or just ad even another caster on top of the current roster? I personally think there are already too many now tbh.

Kaelaris missing last year was a lot weirder.
I Protoss winner, could it be?

Kaelaris is cool, but I, and many others, like iNcontroL more. Not saying Kael shouldn't be there, he deserves it, but iNcontroL also should be in some way.

What? Your reason for watching BlizzCon was iNcontrol and now you won't watch at all? ^^


It just isn't funny without incontrol.

Edit - Rotterdam is quite funny too.

But Smix means no James as translator and this is bad... sooooo bad. James far better translator and entertainer.


That was my first reaction too, but I have to say I didn't really like James as a host during Red Bull Global, he seemed kind of awkward and didn't know what questions to ask. Smix is a host who can translate, James is a translator who can't really host. I guess Blizz didn't want to fly an extra person in when someone else can do the job, just not necessarily as well.

Sad for incontrol and for others that could have been there but he also have this huge show for free and that's fine!

Incontrol is everywhere and i'm sure he will survive .. so that the show begin and stop with the bickering

I don't see how wanting your favourite caster to cast a tournament is "bickering"

It's also hilarious because Inc is geographically closer to the studio than every caster on the list, besides maybe Day9. It's pretty damn expensive to fly people in from all corners of the world, so I doubt hiring another caster would've bothered their budget too much. This is essentially Blizzard flipping Geoff the bird. It's sad because he:
1. He cares about StarCraft more than they ever have. (Maybe that's why they hate him? Too much passion in the wrong place? Better hop on the Passionstone train Geoff..)
2. Geoff understands the game and is really good at explaining it too people, even the finer parts.

Not everyone does. I've talked to people who say they don't watch starcraft anymore because day9 doesn't cast much these days. Casters are VERY important for viewership
