Please no Valdez, I don't really like his casting :/

looks like a great lineup, the best of the best. I would've liked to see someone other then ZG, someone like Wardiii or even Apollo would've been a blast. Wish i didnt feel that way bout ZB but you can't stop yourself from cringing or getting the headaches i get from watching BTTV. I'm a musician so maybe its a tonal thing. Regardless its the biggest event of the year so i cant wait!

I always felt like Wolf and Valdes were underappreciated at blizzcon. Be nice to see them there given how much casting they've done in korea

edit: doesn't wolf cast heroes or something actually?

Wolf and Valdes were by far the best Korean casting team last year. I watched less SSL than I should have, so I can't really say if Valdes still brings it, but even if he doesn't, he brings more to the table than some of the casters here.

It's nice to see the love for Wolp and SpicySalmon, I always thought they brought something unique to anything they did too. I hope someone catches one of them in the crowd and says hi.

Grats again Zeegee!

Is there a reason why Smix and Nathanias are in the center? In my design courses, we looked at movie posters, and they often used the 'cast lineup' element. However, the star cast is almost always in the center and the least important characters are at the extreme ends (sometimes the villain is at one end).

So again, is Smix and Nathanis the star talent for Blizzcon? I'm not asking because I don't think they deserve it, just curious if that was the intention.

Or was the designer just lazy and picked these 2 out of a hat? Or maybe they are really good friends of these 2 and decided to do it.

And is TB considered a villain? j/k I love the cynical British dude, even though he can be brash. Although ToD has a villainous look like he is thinking about how to rule the world and make French the international language of the world.

They have always put the hosts at the center I believe. Sometimes the stage host and sometimes the desk host.

Really? I haven't noticed it until now. So Nathanias won't be casting games, but a host? Damn, I like his casting. He injects excitement into games really well and has some good analytics of the game.

I assumed he would be casting but desk host is also possible, the positions do imply it.

Well desk host is an important job, so I can see Nathanias being given that mantle. That's good for him. I liked Artosis when he was a desk host because he asked good questions before and after matches. I found Apollo a bit bland. I think Kaelaris did it a few times, but I don't remember when.

Kaelaris was the desk host for, I think, all of the WCS majors this year. It's nice for Nathanias to get this opportunity, if this is indeed the case.

Nathanias meh, TB meh, Maynard meh, no Redeye as host meh, aside from that it's okay, hopefully they'll don't pair the shoutcasters too frequently and give Tastosis enough exposure.

I like all the people in this casting lineup. At the same time, I would have loved to see Wolf and Valdes.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable
