EPTI think most casters have their daytime job, where they earn their living.
So if anyone would consider moving to Korea, to cast for a living, I would imagine they would want to know the salary.
Husky would be fun to watch at the GSL.

Wolf would be not bad either, he is definately "underrated". And people should let go of names like day9 or Totalbiscuit. These guys have other things to do than casting GSL Code A 24/7. | ||

HD has gone alittle better than he was before, but no he aint professional, misses alot on the minimap and just generally bad commentating. And Husky, I dont know why people like him so much, I guess its his enegry?. I really dislike him, he is probably the worst caster I have ever seen and doesnt know anything about the game. Day[9]... He know a hell of alot about the game and such. The thing I dislike with him though is that when he casts he explains things as if he is talking to noobs. djWheat.. This guy is pretty horrible.. While he was casting with day[9] he was always asking Day[9] whats supposed to happen in the game. Like someone makes marauders then djWheat says "Oh marauders, what do you think the zerg will go? Roaches?" and then day[9] is like ".......no" Those guys that I hope they could get is TotalBiscuit for the entertainment dApollo for the insight InControl for a mix of both I dont know how Totalbiscuit would go together with dApollo as they have totally different casting types. But it would be awesome with them as casters, thats something I know for sure. Apollo for... insight?... I had a horrible feeling when watching him and day9. He did the exact same thing that you say djwheat does. Apollo probably doesn't know half of what HD does, and I still think HD knows too little. I don't see what roll apollo is fitting really. Imo he's not entertaining, he has no knowledge and not an astounding charisma. I hope he doesn't read the thread, but honestly get a pro gamer. | ||

Active progamers like Ben or Geoff probably fail because they need all the time to practice and I'm not even sure Geoff would leave Anna behind like that. Some casters fail because they simply lack strategic knowledge and insight of the game. And others won't have the ressources or wish to make such a move. And then you have people like Day[9] who'd never leave and abandon building our esports scene over here. Wolf sounds like a promising candidate. I haven't heard anything about Diggity or Cholera in a long time, but I liked them, too. Husky would be a candidate here as well. His comentary is hilarious and that might just be what is needed to make Code A matches more entertaining. I hope both of them go over there and get the job. I think I'd support TheGunrun and Rotterdam as well! | ||

Best of luck to those who apply. After watching SCReddit I want Diggity with TotalBiscuit. While that certainly won't be happening in Korea, we're already talking about co-commentary in the future. [quote[I dont know how Totalbiscuit would go together with dApollo as they have totally different casting types. But it would be awesome with them as casters, thats something I know for sure.[/quote] We've cast together before, we likely will again. Apologies for my cracking voice, had been casting for 10 hours previously, was taking it's toll. Different styles is a good thing, it's what makes regular sports work, you've got your play-by-play guy, you've got your analysis dude and you've got your colour where necessary. The problem is sticking to those roles when you don't have a lot of practice together. Role overlap happens all the time, you see it a lot with Tastosis and pretty much every other casting team out there simply because they haven't had enough time co-casting together to really find their niches and are often used to solo work. It does take a LONG ASS TIME to comfortably settle into those roles, I'm taking years. | ||

TB is good, but his shouting is quite tiring, for multiply matches in a row I think his voice is too much. | ||
