The perfect caster team would be Day[9], Artosis, Tasteless and Chill.

No matter how you shuffle the pairs, its always good combo. Too bad Tastosis is too busy with GSL.

Husky?Seriously? Thats pretty disappointing stuff folks. We are talking about the best thing ever happened to online gaming that is tsl, and you created it. Who cares about the 500k subs or w/e is the number, tsl was always about quality. Its not like there are not casters, there are tons of them

Nice! I'm even more excited for the TSL now after this announcement. And I am happy to see they have invited Husky to come and cast. His game knowledge may not be top tier but his enthusiasm for it is right there up at the top. I also look forward to him bringing his fan base along with him for some good education (If you think his game knowledge is lacking reading the youtube comments is even more... wow). It took me randomly finding this site to really start learning about the game (and still learning) so hopefully the addition of Husky will add even more pathways to learning for many more casual fans of the game.

All that shit about caster is starting to get boring. It started with Incontrol and TheBiscuit, and now this shit has spread, husky, HD, Kelly, DoA, we will never see the end of this shit storm..

Hmmm i really dislike husky's casting... he has really nothing of value to add to casts imo except for random sillly crap that has nothing to do with the matches. However, he will probably bring thralls of noobs to TL to catch the games he casts so that's pretty great. Probably will just skip his casts regardless. All the other casters Im fairly happy to see, Chill and Artosis XD nerd chills at the thought of such epic and well versed commentators. Map pool is really good looking , as well as the mods that were made to the Blizzard maps. All in all I am very excited for this tournament and hope TL gets some HUGE HUGE numbers on the streams.

Actually it started with Husky long time ago, but I agree that the whole song and dance is old. If you don't like watching them cast then just don't watch, I'll download replays Husky, HD cast, and mute code A VoD's. Easier then bitching to nobody. Plus I'm sure TL will post replays for the tournament eventually anyways.

Wow, I so pumped for this TSL. And the changes made to Shakuras and Metalopolis are fantastic. Looking forward to some great games.

I like Husky. He has a lot of energy and he truly sounds like he is loving what he is doing when he casts.

Husky is a little bit of a surprise. Then again, the guy will draw in all of his peeps. So, I guess it really isn't. It's a trade off more than anything else.

Good exposure for TL and himself.

Really like the set of casters. For everyone that doesn't like Husky (Not a big fan of him myself) please watch Tyler vs Jinro - Day[9] and Husky. It really shows how much he has improved and they are really nice to listen to!

How can people honestly expect Artosis AND Tasteless to cast TSL. Have you not heard of a little thing called the GSL? Common sense people!
I was surprised myself to see Artosis being featured in the lineup, but I guess it's just thanks to his pure dedication to SC2 that he has taken some time out of his busy schedule to help out. Extremely grateful for that.
Also cool to see Husky in the lineup. I didn't even think of the possible extra exposure Husky might bring to TSL, I just thought 'oh wow that's cool!' - it'll add a bit of extra fun to the casts. Also, I too am a big fan of the Day9+Husky combo. Looking forward to it!

The whole husky bashing is getting really old. He gets along just fine with all the other casters and has dual casted with day9 a few times already.

Every time someone even mentions husky a few people just freak out and start acting like kids arguing about which console is better or PC vs. consoles.

Looking forward to the matches,hopefully all the contenders will give us a good show along with the casters.

Same here. Put him with someone with a superior knowledge of the game, and it's a good duo, in my opinion.

The real problem with Husky is that he talks way too much, once he starts, it will take like 1 minute for him to give a chance to the co-caster input his thoughts.

I hope he improves that, otherwise TSL games casted by him will be really annoying to listen Husky talk talk talk;

With special guest commentator:

Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski is best known for casting the GSL and denying high fives. Artosis was a top American Brood War Terran who moved into casting for events such as Blizzcon, the WCG Grand Finals, and the first two TSLs.

Actually, Artosis first moved into casting for the long-forgotten Ascension tournament (never completed).

No offense but having a lot of energy and passion does not change the fact that he knows very little about the game and the fact that he is overall a bad caster. Like I said before, Husky is great for the community and he is good a what he does (making videos, promoting stuff etc), casting isn't one of them and in my opinion a tournament with the best of the best should have the best casters.

That is the first time I heard of him as well. He did the "expert" roll with another co-caster (what was his name?). I remember his mic was bad and he had a dog barking in the background. That tournament was amazing!
