Its great to see Lycan given these big opportunities but i think i speak for everyone here when i say that with his lack of casting experience i feel very skeptical if it will work or not. Hope it does, best of luck Lycan .


He needs to get it somewhere. A breath of fresh air perhaps.

Extremely low-brow humor. Guess WCS is pandering to the lowest common denominator with this move... God I'm mean.

Yeah, he's a decent host and I like that he's been getting people together for a podcast but casting? I'd guess there are better choices even fairly close to the studio (California right?).

Regardless of how and why this choice was made, I sincerely request - nay URGE - the production, crew and especially the casters to give Challenger and its Players the stage and attention they deserve.

Thank you guys for the kind words and objectivity. I'm really looking forward to the broadcast and putting a lot of work into prepping. I won't let you guys down.

Great to see that blizzard gives a lot of people the opportunity to cast games. F.e. Pig, Huk, etc and now Lycan.

I have faith! Lycan sparks some real solid discussion on his show, and with Nates analysis to back him I choose to believe they'll be great.

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.


if the role paid $60 USD/hour they could probably get a really good analytical caster guy for this position and also pay Lycan to host. i'll bet you WCS Challenger League is running on a bare bones budget though.

Good Luck Lycan. Relative to the resources dedicated to the WCS Challenger League i'm sure you'll do a great job.

i personally do not like Nathanias as a caster. However, once i consider the budgets for these things i realize i'm not in a position to be picky. He still offers some degree of insight i would otherwise not get if the volume were turned down.
i'd say Nathanias is far better than nothing which is probably what the WCS Challenger league is paying these guys.

well said. The amount of attention the qualifiers and challenger itself is getting is quite underwhelming

I don't think qualifiers have ever been done on the official channels. Certainly not in EU.

If I remember correct the WCS EU2 channel did qualifiers last year. Not sure about AM.
