I think generally, pointing out the perfect way something can be done in theory is less exciting than focusing on the merits of what is being done. Also, I think casters are too often calling games as won before the game is over. Just stop doing that. It's lazy casting. Also, stop trying to be better than each other. Team players. That's why Tastosis is so amazing. They don't want to one-up each other. Mostly, I've been super satisfied with a lot of the casters though  | ||

Still, this is not bashing, I think he has a good style that makes him very flexible and adaptable to the other commentators he is working with, he just has to improve on this aspect because I strongly believe I cannot be the only one annoyed when he does this. The thing about that point though is it is very subjective. As much as I like his casting, Artosis fake laugh makes me cringe every single time. I appreciate that it would be hard to say something when nothing is happening, but it is just soo fake I sometimes mute it. Not sure if anyone has tried it, but watching a muted cast is kinda nice. It means you have to be actively watching and analysing the game yourself. | ||

Heard you for the first time during IEM, didn't know who you were, thought you were incredible, like an Aussie (I hope) Tasteless. | ||

After not following the scene / tournaments casted by him I watched some games at the recent HSC and to my big surprised actually enjoyed his casting. So probs to ToD for improving I guess. Keep up the good work. | ||

On the contrary, couple months ago I started playing Hearthstone. Lately I decided to check some tournaments and /i must say that casters there are terrible. It was some Blizzard tournaments, so I guess they invited more popular casters, but they were really boring to me. There was no flow between them, it was more like putting 2 random people in 1 room and make them cast a game. When occasionally one of them was trying to make a joke about something, his co-partner didn't respond at all or just said something generic like "that would be nice" and ending the topic immediately. Also, being a noob like me who just recently started playing, I already predicted some in game situations better than those casters who are supposed to be way more knowledgable than me. In Starcraft 2 I feel all the casters are good friends with one another. You can see during tournaments that whatever the combo is, they feel good with each other, they joke and laugh a lot, and there are no awkward, forced conversations like in Hearthstone. There is always natural flow between SC2 casters. Also, even though I play and watch Starcraft 2 for a way longer than Hearthstone, I can feel the casters have vast knowledge about the game and I can learn from them. To sum up, I really enjoy our casters and I think they are big reason I stll watch some SC2 from time to time even though I am not that interested in game anymore. | ||

The casters were great, but I think some of the calls were off. I don't like it when a caster says 'X player is going for Y strategy' and they are wrong. It didn't happen often, but it kind of irks me. I don't remember a specific example, but I believe Wardii and Rotti did it once each. Artosis calls out the strategy, but he is much more often right than wrong. And he says it to allow room for error. Otherwise, great job to all the casters! | ||

Well, and Rapid came in a situation, where our e-sport was "dying" and people were leaving it - and he was the fresh blood, who brought again some passion into SC2, how he was coming to all the events, even when he was not casting there. That was bringing back some passion to all the people, who were observing the dissolution of Korean teams, casters leaving to other esports ... it was kind of a sign that SC2 is not dead yet, when there is fresh blood, someone new interested in SC2 and passionate about the scene. Thanks for that Rapid! | ||

i think Tasteless and Artosis make more incorrect calls when they're separated. kudos to Incontrol for having the balls to acknowledge some of the games were terribly 1-sided in replying to a stock/standard "what great games tonight" comment. | ||

All in all I think we have a great team of casters in SC2, each one brings something a bit different - and there are some duos which work veeery good together. I really liked Apollo's casting, but I get he's busy with organizational matters now Then of course I enjoyed a lot Day9's casting when he was more into the SC2 scene (like MLG in WoL, ...) | ||

"fake hype" is a smear of what a caster must do in the case of a 1-sided game. they can't say: "stop watching now, this game will end soon and there will be a 5 minute break. so go do something else now and come back in 10 minutes." although that comment might be 100% honest the people paying the caster might have something to say about it. so they must do something to keep the viewer invested in watching. and that's not easy in any 1-sided competition in any game including SC2. | ||
