People whose jobs are in entertainment are usually referred to as talent. It's not a new thing | ||

Yeah you can't even call a janitor a janitor anymore. It's a Facility Manager! Also is your real name Claude? Because mine is, was kinda funny seeing my name here. Coincidences . | ||

Permission granted. Chobra being there might allow Apollo to cast, but he could also just be the replacement for Smix who apparently joined the dark side. Love that they're bringing PiG, he's great as an analyst and Z caster, if he wasn't a pro player I'd want him to be there for every WCS event. Finally, ESL getting the name of one of their own in Kaelaris wrong in the graphic? Shame on you, ESL. | ||

I put Kaelaris when making the OP, but then double checked because I wasn't quite 100% sure and ended up going with their spelling. ~_~ | ||

Yeah, in Germany Claude is not common at all, so it's always weird for me to see. Guess I have to go to France to get used to other people having that name. | ||

The strongest impact of this though has to HUK!, His casting has been so on point, very enlightening to listen to his casts that is also calm, collected and very easy on the hear. Huk among my new top casters to listen to! Ex pros are generally really good casters, Apollo, Huk, Moonglade they are all amazing. | ||

especially Incontrol, easily my favourite personality in the scene. Happy with those additions to the line up. I hope they get to cast some of the games rather than just panel. | ||

Just don't watch if you don't like him. As do I most of the time  Missing Apollo and Incontroll hurts, but that's the price. | ||

2. Awesome line up. 3. I could've done without Huk as a caster/analyst honestly. From what I saw he was just mostly being awkward and weird on the WCS US stream. 4. PiG is really excellent as both a caster and Zerg analyst. I hope he makes it into a regular thing. 5. Tod is awesome. Kinda an asshole, but in an awesome way. 6. Lol @ a German mocking someone's accent in English. | ||
