EPTInteresting choice. Since he is neither a professional caster with a lot of experience nor a player, jumping straight into WCS is a big move.
What are your thoughts?

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 . | ||

(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 | ||

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... | ||

Hope it does, best of luck Lycan .He needs to get it somewhere. A breath of fresh air perhaps. | ||

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.

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. | ||

The amount of attention the qualifiers and challenger itself is getting is quite underwhelming | ||
