Is it a running joke that there are never pictures for the observers? Does WCS not have detection?

I've never actually seen Mapu so for all I know he's a spirit that works from some sort of ethereal plane.

It'd be good to see some fresh blood / players(?) in the commentator line-ups, feels like it's been stagnant for 2-3 years!

great lineup otherwise tho of course

Apollo is the guy who makes stuff happen behind the scenes for tournaments now. Other than Blizzcon he probably won't be on camera much. Also:

I want to see Rotti and Tod wrestle in a kiddie pool full of JellO. Smix can be the referee.

Love the lineup. I prefer solid "old" casters than some silly new casters.

Stagnant implies..... not good, boring(?), maybe. This is a great lineup of talent. Of course, I miss tastosis, but GTR explained those reasons.

So, who would you suggest as additions; or, to be really juicy, replacements and why?

They also try to rotate in a tournament player at times to add to the commentary desk or table during most tournaments which really does add to the show.
