I'll admit when I saw the options I thought Husky was out of place, but then after watching the Tyler vs. Jinro showmatch he did with Day9 (I haven't watched him for a long time), he seemed like he had improved somewhat on the OHMYGODEXCITEMENTTALKINGFAST front. Apart from a few times he kind of went off on a completely unrelated tangent, I think he did pretty well. Great team of casters overall, really excited for this TSL.

That is a very good post. Husky has improved drastically from a couple months ago. You can see it in his casts. People are calling him out for things that he said months ago. He clearly has put a lot of effort in to improving his game knowledge. Its still not amazing, but its much better and his observing skills have gotten better. He worked really well with Day9. I was impressed.

Ruining the TSL, how much of a joke is this statement. Like some kid at christmas, receiving 4 gifts and disliking one of them, then claiming that christmas is ruined.


If you can only play with all four gifts at once, then the gift you dislike is pretty much going to spoil the experience.

It's funny how people complain about how casters have more fans that players and that the emphasis needs to be on the players not casters, yet complain and say the casters are ruining the TSL even though its some of the best players in the world playing. I thought the emphasis was supposed to be on the players? Hmmm

I think the casting team is great and well-chosen. People need to realize the TSL is more than a tournament - it's also a show, and in order to keep a show exiting, you need entertainers. Chill and DJWheat are fantastic analytical casters, then they selected Husky for entertainment value, and Day[9] because he's probably the best all-around caster on the scene right now in terms of providing both fantastic analysis and great humor.

I'm not gonna lie though. I was really hoping for Stargirl T_T

You are probably right.
Maybe Husky can somehow win me over, it's been a while since I last watched him and Chill and djWHEAT are decent casters anyways and day9 is dayJ.

I love that Husky is in the lineup. For one he does a great job as the entertaining half of a casting duo. But even better, it is going to force the haters to actually watch him in action.

I. CANT. WAIT.

Also, I really like Husky, just because he's so exciting. Artosis, Day9, Chill will be plenty enough for analysis, but TSL's just gotta have some pumped up energy. So glad TL picked him up for this.

I love Husky in the line-up. I'm really glad that the people on TL will get some more exposure to Husky, he deserves to be recognized for being bloody good at the style of commentary he provides

Saying Husky is X, isnt going to change anything. They wont remove him from the caster pool.

But i would like to hope hes not doing the finals.

This times one thousand.

Also will be interesting to see how many of husky's subscribers will tune into the live cast considering the majority of them are casual VoD viewers. My guess is maybe 1.5k.

Shakuras Plateau has been edited for diagonal position play only, and Metalopolis has been edited to remove close land positions. The bottom of ramps have been modified to prevent easy walling with buildings


I can understand why close-positions Metalopolis has been removed - far too much cheese/all-in play, but why remove back-door positions from Shakuras Plateau? With two sets of destructible rocks and a comfortably long run distance, the only units which can really abuse the back-door are Colossi or blink Stalkers, and only in the mid- to late- game. Is that enough to make back-door spawns Protoss-favoured, or is there something I'm not getting here?

No Tasteless?

Still looks like a killer line up and I can't wait to see some amazing games. I would have been a little worried about Husky being one of the main casters, but the games he recently casted with Day9 were just great and I think they can be a pretty good pair for the job.

I think husky was a great choice. My only main criticism of him before this was a seeming lack of knowledge about the meta-game and correctly talking about what was going on in terms of players builds, but he seems to have fixed that really well.

CANT WAIT.

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).

Good thing it says "and the first two TSLs" and not "and first the TSL". It also doesn't say he "first moved into casting".

...
If he was already a caster before he casted those events, then he wasn't "moving into casting" for them. But not worth fighting about.

Disagree a little bit with the Shakuras modifications, but meh, whatever. Not a huge deal, nor do I really care.

TSL gonna be epic, I will say!

For those whining about Husky, he's better than he used to be. I initially didn't like him at all, either, but things have taken a turn for the better and it's really a good fit for the rest of the casters.

Can't wait for TSL!!

Husky is fine.

Thought djWheat was taking a break?

If a Day9 + Artosis combo happens, I'll be ecstatic.


Too bad about no ICCup map in the pool, but eh.

The casting team is really balanced, actually.

djWheat and Husky for entertainment and enthusiasm.

Day9 and Artosis for game knowledge.

Chill somewhere in between.


All can articulate their thoughts on the spot and are well-spoken (well, more or less), so definitely no complaining from my side.



There are always people who will complain about something. It comes with the territory of having thousands of members (and thus, different opinions ).
