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
|
What is the situation with apollo? Is he still casting, playing or even following sc2?
|
Awesome, looking forward to this! :D

Hopefully you will see some new blood casting Day 1 matches

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:

Solid lineup, good luck everyone involved in Austin next week!
|
I want to see Rotti and Tod wrestle in a kiddie pool full of JellO. Smix can be the referee.

Nice to see Kaelaris back!
I would be so happy if he could start casting again, he was my favourite caster
|
Nice to see that Kaelaris, Rotterdam, Tod and Incontrol will be there.
|
Love the lineup. I prefer solid "old" casters than some silly new casters.
|
so hyped to see Incontrol!!!!

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.
