Excellent choice of casters, though I'm slightly disappointed to not see Tasteless thrown into the mix. Oh well. The Tastosis casting archon has casted enough games in the GSL to satisfy me many lives over.
I don't care what the naysayers say, but I feel that Husky is a very entertaining caster and definitely a huge asset to the casting lineup, especially with his huge fan following. I think TSL will be a very good opportunity to introduce the Huskateers to the true world of competitive Starcraft.
Also, I can't stop laughing at the Artosis pop-up. After watching him cast the GSL quarter-finals while high on painkillers, I can definitely say that Tastosis under the influence of drugs is pure comedy gold.
Seriously, Artosis needs to cast more under the influence of painkillers. The comedy potential is infinite.
I also love the map pool. Nothing controversial about it; just good things all around. Honestly, I would internet-punch anyone who complains about this map pool since there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
I always liked the Chill+Day9 combo... but lately Chill+djWheat was also good... pair them anyway you want, the casting will be great I think that nothing stays in the way for TSL3 to be the gratest tournament ever
What do you mean "Dry Canadian humour?" Chill is freaking hilarious. I'll laugh at Day9 and Artosis casting, there will be so many cheap blows at Tasteless during the cast.
Awesome commentator combo, I was hoping Artosis would be a main caster, but I guess that's too much to ask with his schedule. Are the casting duos going to be fixed like in TSL2? I was hoping for some Chill & Day, but if they're fixed I guess it has to be one caster and one analyst per team.
Probably the best caster pool possible without somehow bringing back Cholera.
I'd like it if the caster teams were switched up once in a while. Like one week is Chill + Wheat and Day + Husky, and then the next week is Chill + Husky and Day + Wheat. And then the next week Artosis shows up.

Have you seen Tasteless involved in the community in any way since he started casting for GSL? I doubt he'd be interested to cast TSL with his busy schedule.
Hmmm, haven't heard Husky in ages. Hopefully he'll do well. The other guys I know are great^^ I like that you took out Scrap station, however what's this bottom of the ramp business? Doesn't that mean T can't wall their own base on low ground also? Heard mlg is doing the same, seems strange to me.

Anywyas, so excited^^
I think it's a good thing T doesn't get to completely deny Z any scouting information for free.
Considering that everyone will be talking about Husky anyway... Although I am yet to hear him do a quality job as a commentator, it is always good to add some diversity - no matter how good Day9 is, we can not have him do every single tournament. There are three proven commentators apart from him, the risk for him ruining the tournament for the viewers is relatively low. And if he does well, great.
However, TL is going to need another batch of banlings to take care of the fanboys vs haters clashes that are going to inevitably ensue. I don't envy their job, it's going to be as tough as it gets.
