Two years ago, the North American Star League welcomed Ben “MrBitter” Nichol into its casting team. Today, we wish him the best as he moves onto a new role in eSports with Red Bull.
Over the years, the NASL team has grown quite close as an eSports family. As such, we remain supportive of each person’s growth and journey, whether they grow within our organization, move away from eSports, or move on to other roles.
In the case of MrBitter, the next phase of his journey will be working for Red Bull eSports. For anyone who may be concerned by this, that journey will still likely involve StarCraft, as MrBitter stated, “StarCraft will still be a huge part of who I am and what I do.”
Kevin “RotterdaM” van der Kooi will continue to anchor WCS America, which MrBitter assured is “going to be the best show ever now that he doesn’t have to carry me anymore.” Rest assured, the pair will still have opportunities to cast together. Kevin's new co-caster for WCS America will be announced soon.
Thus, although we will miss him, we are excited for Ben and wish him the best at Red Bull.

Hope we see Bitterdam at WCS Global Finals this year. Now that would be one of the highlights of the year.

Bitterdam D:

Might be unrealistic but I'd love to see ToD become Rotti's regular casting partner.

Congratulations to Mr. Bitter! Awesome!

(and Mr.Bitter and Rotterdam are BFF, if Bitter can get a gig for Rotterdam I'm sure he will)
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

GL to Mr. Bitter! I hope that the Bitterdam band can get back together for the NA finals or some other events. They just work so well together.

So who will replace Mr. Bitter? Frodan is long gone to ESGN, Gretorp is thankfully gone, so who could it be? Axeltoss or Axslav comeback? Nathanias?

I'm more hoping for someone like Nathanias.

Rotterdam is a terrific analytical caster, but he needs a hype/play-by-play guy to go with him imo.
