+ Show Spoiler + 1v1 League and race: Gold League Protoss Age: 35 Casting experience: I have run the youtube channel NuubCast for nearly two years, so while I have a lot of experience, most of it is casting solo for non-pro players. You may also have seen vods of me casting with my 5 year old daughter StarGirl. I have done some live casting, most of it for online KOTHs, again at lower league levels. Comments about myself as a caster: I consider myself to be a play by play caster in the vein of TB and Kevin Knocke. I watch a lot of streams and listen to a lot of other casters, so while I do not consider myself ignorant in game knowledge, because of my skill level I would not consider analysis a strength and would likely shine brightest paired with a good analyst. I have a background in theater and performance, which is helpful. What I'm looking for: A good analyst looking for a play by play partner to work on in game transitions, when which person should take over and just general experience casting with another person. Can I stream: I can stream at at least 720p but have never tried it with skype, only ventrilo. Links to examples of your casting (optional): www.youtube.com/user/nuubcast Over 500 vods :-) How to get in touch with me: aim: gentrywts, msn: gentrywts@hotmail.com, skype: blamous.nuubcast, or just PM me here is fine too. my availability varies, so if you are interested in practicing gimme a shout and lets work something out. | ||

1v1 League and race: Platinum Terran Age: 23 Casting experience: Have been casting SC2 for a month or so on and off now. Called games for a summer college baseball league. I went to school for broadcast journalism and thought about trying to break into sports commentating, but found I like news just as much and am a solid producer. Comments about myself as a caster: I'm a bit inexperienced and still learning how to cast StarCraft 2 (each sport/game has its own flow and what not to adjust to beyond knowledge). I'm more of a play-by-play style but like to throw in analysis I think I see. Can be pretty passionate at times but also a little slow on the call in a big battle but am getting better. Also I prefer to cast with the production tab off. I like keeping the audience guessing, having to find what the tech path is, watching the mini-map. It's just my preference to be like "he's not streaming more bio in anymore, what's he doing *sees fusion core and 4 starports pumping out battlecruisers* OHHH He's going Battlecruisers!!" I don't know again just my preference. What I'm looking for: Experience mostly and someone to cast with maybe and have fun... either analytical or play-by-play I can work with both. Right now this is for fun and my work schedule is nights and weekends right now. Can I stream: Yes, although I experienced a bit of lag when I would stream playing the games so no clue how well my cpu would handle live games at the moment. Links to examples of your casting (optional): one of my favorite games I've casted. Yes I can keep any fanboyism in check during a cast if necessary.

1v1 League and race: Plat Terran Age: 21 Casting experience: I've casted a few games in Swedish. Don't worry my English is ok and I don't a big accent. Or so I am told. Comments about myself as a caster: I am more of a Totalbiscuit than a dApollo. I like to talk alot and I trying to improve my fast talking english. What I'm looking for: A Caster who knows Starcraft 2 quite a bit, while I know a little and try to talk as much instead. Can I stream: No. My internet connection sucks Links to examples of your casting (optional): (In Swedish, I'm not the main caster.)

1v1 League and race: Diamond, Terran Age: 19 Casting experience: I have been casting since December. I am doing the Gold and Below tournament and I will be casting the STL. Comments about myself as a caster: I think that I am very good at being analytical I watch a lot of Starcraft and so I know many builds and strats and players. One flaw is the use of the word 'uh' and the repeating of many words and phrases. What I'm looking for: I am looking to continue casting and have people enjoying it! Can I stream: Yes I can stream.

Nickname: NanMan 1v1 League and race: Diamond level Protoss player Age: 23 Casting experience: I've been casting since November 2010, I started out mainly with amateur events. I spent the rest of 2010 and the start of 2011 casting mainly for YouTube. In spring 2011 I founded the Starcraft II clan, the League of Extraordinary Gamers (LXG). During the summer I spent the time continuing to improving my casting with amateur open tournaments and team leagues. In November I was able to start casting for the Eternal Plague's (Team Epidemic) Open tournament. I also hosted a week of show matches in honor of my 1 year anniversary of casting. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=280311 The event featured 10 top North American players such as Liquid Sheth, Quantic Illusion, Complexity qxc, It's GoSu Pokebunny. In the fall and winter of 2011 I also was able to cast events such as the Team Liquid Opens. 2012 I've been doing everything I can to continue improving my casting by commentating more events. In January I was able to commentate the DC LAN. In March I was able to commentate some more up and coming players in the Sponsor me tournament hosted by playhem. Currently I'm commentating and Co-casting 3 events; The Beyond Gaming WCS qualifier events, the ESEA for the PMS|H2O pro team, and the STL premiere league. Comments about myself as a caster: My knowledge of Starcraft II far exceeds my ability to to play but that does help my casting quite a bit. My style has a strong analytical focus, I do my best to discuss strategy and standard build orders while casting. I also have learned all the names of units/upgrades but do a nice mix of "newb talk" for example I would say the zerg player is getting Glial Reconstitution which is roach speed. Because I manage a Starcraft II clan as well as try to become a top tier commentator most of my time is spent watching and commentating not playing. I'm quite knowledgeable about the meta game and what builds are more common on what maps. I would say my biggest weakness right now would be saying um or using the same phrase over and over through out a cast. Having a co-caster has helped with that but I defiantly want to help improve my solo casting as well. What I'm looking for: I'm looking to be able to show my skill and knowledge for many tournaments and hopefully major ones in the future. My experience in open tournaments and team leagues is perfect for major open brackets such as MLG and IPL in the fact that i'm more familiar with up and coming players compared to most people. I'd love to co-cast with anyone for any event so feel free to contact me if you are interested. The thing i'm looking for the most is feedback and constructive criticism. I know there are flaws in my casting and having other people review it would really be beneficial. Can I stream: Yes, I've been streaming in HD since 2011 on www.Twitch.tv/TheRealNanMan Links to examples of your casting: My most recent solo cast from IPL Open bracket, LiquidTaeja(T) vs coLKiller(Z) my most recent co-casting from the Beyond Gaming WCS qualifier Area51Sasquatch(Z) vs ALTWebz(Z) http://www.twitch.tv/beyondgaming/b/317064937 How to get in touch with me: TheRealNanMan@gmail.com www.Twitter.com/TheRealNanMan www.Twitch.tv/TheRealNanMan www.YouTube.com/Nanman | ||

1v1 League and Race: Bronze Protoss (I think I know the game way better than I play it) Age: 33 Casting Experience: Just started. I think maybe only have a total of 14 games casted under my belt. Comments about myself as a caster: I am a little bit more laid back of a caster, and naturally have a lot of learning to do. That said, I have a speaking background and that has helped a lot. I know a lot about the games, been playing religiously since the earliest RTS games came out, but I am not sure if I will ever be REALLY good at them. What I'm looking for: To keep casting and just focus on what I enjoy. I am not looking for anything other than that really. If I get viewers, cool, if not at least I am having fun. I would love to do some tourneys, but I haven't even started to look into it. Can I stream: Yup! I sometimes stream on twitch.tv.

1v1 league and race: Silver Protoss Age: 18 Casting experience: I am the official caster the UK team GG. I cast for ESL including the ESL UK open and the Blizzard WCS UK qualifiers, and I am the official cast for the new show the fast expand. Comments about myself as a caster: I'm a little insane but the game really excites me to watch and that shows in my casts in a good way. What I'm looking for: Casting ofc, I leap at every opportunity to cast and put my all in every time Can I stream: Nope I live in the country with a low up speed but I'm OK with it cause it means I get to work with other great casters a lot more rather than being put in stuff on my own which I'm OK with but is nowhere near as fun.

1v1 League and race: Masters Terran Age: 24 Casting experience: I've only casted three online tournaments and a total of around 50 games, but I've covered a variety of KOR/EU pros from the likes of TSLPolt, MouzMorroW, IMFenix, TSLInori, GoldenLight, ESCGoody, MillTarson, and EmpireVINES. Comments about myself as a caster: I have a strong public speaking background and I really enjoy analyzing why and how players make decisions in game. I'm funny, positive, and inspired by Starcraft. My observer skills are top notch at all points in the game and I can obs and cast at the same time. What I'm looking for: A weekly/monthly platform -- I'm open to any and all opportunities available! Can I stream: Yes, 720p+, I have an XSplit Premium License.

1v1 League and race: GM/M Z/T Age: 19 Casting experience: Casted at several big local tournaments in Perth. Comments about myself as a caster: I'd say my style of casting is very smooth and casual but analytical as well as colourful as well. If I had to liken myself to an existing well known caster, well, think of a mini-Apollo with an Australian accent (surely that's a plus :D) What I'm looking for: A bit more exposure outside of my local scene, definitely looking to be mostly a co-caster but can main cast vods if necessary Can I stream: I can, however the internet in Australia is definitely sub-par, so the stream quality is generally 480p Links to examples of your casting (optional): Will edit this post later with some examples. How to get in touch with me: email: sedz@perthbarcraft.com.au skype: sedzz1 Thanks! | ||

1v1 League and race: Platinum+ / Protoss & Zerg Other Info: I only have an account on the EU server. / I own a professional studio microphone. Age: 18 Casting experience: Unfortunately, I don't have the most impressive casting history. I used to livestream myself casting counter-strike source matches where I'd have an average of around 70-100 viewers, since then I've been reading starcraft extensively and furthering my game knowledge before I casted anything. Comments about myself as a caster: I'm from London, but I don't have the TotalBiscuit accent or any noticeable/distracting accent at all. I don't doubt my casting ability and I'm sure that my only downfall is my lack of experience with casting (hence my post in this thread). I'm naturally quite analytical and intrinsical so I can notice things and make comments on things that others may not. I find casting really fun as I find talking really fun, and I have passion for the game altogether. I'm in Platinum only because I haven't been able to play many games due to time commitments. What I'm looking for: I feel that I could cast at a professional level after building up a repertoire, I'm looking for a good co-caster but I'm flexible, I would enjoy working with many other people. I don't have delusions of making a living out of it or even making money from it at all, I would just like to share my casting with the public, since I know how annoying it is to watch bad and inexperienced players casting. Can I stream: My PC is 100% capable of it, but my network speed isn't. I'd only be able to stream in 480p and a lowish bitrate of around 580kbps. Links to examples of your casting (optional): How to get in touch with me: Skype - azurebluesc2, I'm also on steam and msn most of the time. | ||

Here's mine: Nickname: Sephyre 1v1 League and race: Formerly high diamond (when it was the max), now i'm just Plat! re-learning the game and streaming my journey back up at http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=347085 Age: 29 Casting experience: During the beta and release I was casting extensively, almost every day. My focus was on the SEA scene, and specifically casting tournaments and showmatches of top SEA pros vs the world's best. Comments about myself as a caster: I'm actually not actively casting again yet. After my absence I feel I need to play extensively and get back into the higher leagues to have the game knowledge I need to cast effectively again. I'm more of a play-by-play caster, thought I can get into the analytical side of things. What I'm looking for: Someone to co-cast with to really get back into the swing of it and develop a rapport. Preferrably the SEA scene, as that's what I tend to focus on, but I don't mind covering international as well. Can I stream: Yep! Although given the quality of broadband in Australia it's only in 480p. www.twitch.tv/sephyresc Links to examples of your casting (optional): www.youtube.com/sephyresc How to get in touch with me: Sephyre.328 on NA www.twitter.com/sephyresc Or just DM me on the forums | ||

What I'm looking for: I'd like to develop a good dynamic with another caster; one whom I can feed off of. Only casting will I be able to know who that is.
