Excellent choices. I could complain that the map pool is kinda boring, but that's not really much of a valid criticism. It could have Jungle Basin and Steppes in it, which would make it a shit map pool. So it's anything but. It's a very safe map pool, which is probably the best choice.

This casting team is dirty, just dirty, its probably good they don't also have Tasteless because if they did it would be too perfect and every SC2 nerd's brain would explode.

i always looked at it as if artosis and day9 provide the analytical commentary while husky and wheat provide the color commentary, with chill falling somewhere in the middle of those 2 groups. just how ive seen it at least. looking forward most to artosis + wheat combo though, but overall i think most combinations should be interesting as they have shown in the past.

I cant wait to see these games and i'm SO glad to see Husky as a commentator because he has a passion for the game that is unmatched and Day9 is also a very strong and knowledgeable commentator. GL to all players in the tournament, make it a good one guys!!!

I saw the Day9/Husky cast and my view remains unchanged, not a fan of Husky's. Chill, Artosis, Day9, and Tasteless are my favorites.

Haven't heard enough casting by Wheat to form much of an opinion yet.

Also, to those saying "Husky is being picked to bring in his viewer base" I would say that's not a good enough reason to bring him on board. Klazart had a fairly massive number of viewers but TL would never bring him in to cast a TSL. I don't think Husky is as bad as Klaz but the point still stands, the number of viewers a caster has shouldn't influence his/her selection for TSL. Their casting ability and knowledge of the game should be the sole factors.

Getting Husky involved is pretty cool, wish they would have got HD too, I guess you can only have one otherwise drama?

Super pumped for this, lets hope you guys are right and huskys improved alot on his play by play commentary. Apart from that you couldn't have picked four other better casters

I am SO pumped for this. The best and most known players in the world, nailbiting brackets, a formidable and fair mappool and to round it all up, fantastic casters.
I mean it's a perfect blend if analytical and entertaining casters, which makes it educational and funny at the same time.
Thinking about the Wheat/Husky duo still leaves me with a big questionmark over my head, but I like being pleasantly surprised.

Like everyone else, I double-took at "Husky."

...But I just watched him cast with Day9... Yeah he doesn't have the knowledge, but honestly, all a caster really needs to do is have a solid voice and be able to talk about what's on the screen.

Day9 provides the necessary analysis, Husky does the Tasteless-style "this is what's happening." It works. Can't hate.

Even if he was picked just off his viewer base its a very smart decision. He has over 400k subscribers. He makes one video announcing TSL3 and promotes it in his casts leading up to and throughout TSL3 and there are going to be a ton more viewers. No doubt about it. You can't ignore that.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the Day9/Husky cast, they worked extremely well together, shared their talking well, each was able to see things the others didn't to keep us informed even if the screen wasn't focused on it. Plus Husky said the right things. There wasn't anything too in depth from him, but what he was saying was correct.

Not having Husky cast TSL3 would be a huge mistake by TL because he is one of the biggest faces in the scene right now, whether you like it or not.

I'm just gonna focus on the positive here..

Artosis, chill and day9 are amaaaazing commentators. Wheat seems like a really chill guy..

And husky can talk really fast.

Yaaaay! i was a little worried that with so many really prominent casters chill maybe wouldn't be there, but TSL without chill just wouldn't be the same. omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg I'm so excited. I'm gonna spam a little more cause i just cant contain it... wowowowowowowowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwowowowowowowowowowowoooooooowowowowowowowoooooooooooowowowowowowwoowowwowooww

Husky seriously? I suppose for play by play he could be awesome but he's gotta let his co-casters do most of the talking for him. Other casters are awsome.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pls no husky:S

I hope he will cast as few games as possible, cause i have to watch those without sound:S
Although i know he has a lot of fans, i'm pretty sure he has a lot of haters as well. I mean, all the other casters are like: a lot of ppl love them, and maybe a few hates them, but Husky has such a stupid voice (imho), and I should have never seen how he looks like IRL :S (although i constantly try to forget it
