I love TLG and I think Lycan is a great guy! But if we can expect the same professionalism in his casting as in TLG I am very afraid for the quality of the cast. Also, I don't think he has the game knowledge to fully take this role. I would take him as a host any time, but as a caster..... No please don't.

Reddit's layout and terrible site design are making sure I won't get shocked by seeing what they write there, thanks d:

Someone who is passionate about SC2 and produces pretty good content getting a chance to shine on the semi-big stage of SC2? I'm down.

Hm the thing is he doesn't really cast a lot I think. He hosts The Late Game though.



Here is something I found where he casts a game with feardragon and Temp0. The introduction is certainly epic, just not sure if he can sing at WCS .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

This is the same thing that happened with Nathanias - he did community stuff, then got given a shot at something bigger, and no one regretted that decision. I think it's a good move, although I haven't heard him cast except for once on Basetrade, where he was fine.

No, the contrast is so ridiculous, that's funny.

Hmm don't really understand this move. What about guys like Incontrol or Gretorp? (and Rotti of course but I assume he can't make it?)

incontrol and gretorp are both kinda out of the meta in terms of analyzing and calling games, especially gretorp. geoff at least has great charisma and broadcasting presence, and he's still with it enough that he can analyze a game pretty well, but gretorp i really don't think knows the meta at all. he seems like a nice guy, but when i hear him cast i honestly feel like i understand what's going on better than he does

I don't have anything particularly against the guy, but I would always enjoy a player-caster more. Like, even though I don't consider Homestory Cup a significant tournament, given its general atmosphere and structure (lots of invites), I always enjoy the casting. Not just because Incontrol is a funny troll, either! Having pro-players cast is really nice.

Truthfully, if Lycan can provide commentary that is free of the Tasteless dialogue (pun intended), then I'll be happy. There's nothing worse than having to hear about Tasteless' 10-minute story, all while major events are going on in the game. Better hope there isn't a 11-11 proxy rax build, because you won't hear a thing about it until the game has already been decided...

From what I've seen he seems to be a bit too "yes-man". Dunno how else to explain it, but I hope he improves when casting!

Sounds like he's just casting for this week? Maybe they just needed someone to fill in for a bit and he was the person who was the best fit for the time window and availability?
