Look at all the heat that the Proleague guys have taken, the praise for Wolf's solo casting in GSL and how happy everyone was to have Tastosis back for Code S after not seeing them in anything since IPL5 ( wolf and khaldor did blizzard cup ). Casting i feel is still a pretty big deal, proleague guys were kind of new to me so i cant really say one way or another for them. However my personal feelings regarding WOLF and KHALDOR is i cant stand listening to them duo cast, but i really enjoy listening to them solo cast. I am not trying to be offensive or anything but i feel like when they are doing code a they spend most of the game making jokes while some plays are going on that are important to cast and discuss why the player was making said decision over another. Instead they tend to find themselves offtrack a lot with their banter and when they catch themselves, half of the game is over or the important things that were a large deciding factor like the winners play-style or build orders vs his opponent. And their play by play together is a little lackluster. Now don't get me wrong, these two when solo casting have nothing else to focus on but the game and their casting quality is much greater. Now joking isn't the problem because everyone wants to have fun while trying to watch the game and learn as well, but if it is too excessive then it takes away from quality of the match being played and the players playing said match. Some may say Tastosis makes jokes so that's no reason to comment on KHAL/WOLF casting style, which in part is true. But i feel like Tastosis better knows the appropriate times to make jokes and when to focus on the game.(ie. quick 3hatch vs FFE perfect time to joke for a min or so. Middle of a move out and gearing for attack is not.) To be completely honest the banter between WOLF and KHALDOR has gotten so distracting and sometimes annoying that i have to watch GSL Code A on low volume or muted with music playing simply because i cant focus on the game over the banter. The reason i think most like Tastosis the best, simply comes from their years of experience both playing the game and casting the game together which makes for much greater synergy when. I personally am sad they will not be attending but such a far distance for a weekend tourney is a lot of logistics to compensate for the 2, so them being absent during this event makes sense. The rest of the caster line-up for this tourney looks good in my opinion. :D Anyways this isn't a bash post or anything but more-so an observation on the casting styles of different casters, feel free to comment on this whether you agree/disagree with my perspective on Khaldor and Wolf as a duo vs. them as solo casters, I am interested in seeing if others feel this way or if its just me edit: I feel like my opinion of Khal/Wolf may seem low on this post, but in truth i feel they have improved quite a bit since starting and i commend them for that. | ||

But Apollo? Why didn´t they invite him? Can someone from MLG say something about that? Apollo/TB would´ve been killer. If you take a good look at that list, you will find all casters have something really important to MLG in common: They all live in the USA, and as such international flights need not be expended. | ||

People aren't expected to explain themselves whenever they state something. There is no reason to get upset just because some random person on the internet doesn't like your favourite caster. Feel free to take your sarcastic, passive aggressive comments elsewhere. Edit: For the record, if you'd have asked why I felt that way, I happily would have told you. At which point, if you didn't agree, you would retort. That's how an argument works. Not that it matters at all, because an opinion based on personal preference is exactly that. Personal preference. There is no right or wrong. | ||

No Tastosis which is understandable but should be fun :D Also i would like to add that these tournaments need to start fixating on a group of casters. MLG changes every event which is rather annoying for people who like caster "x" or caster "y". I mean the original casters for MLG where fine, dating back to the time of SC2 release in 2011/2012. Nothing wrong with Day9 Wheat Husky Artosis Tasteless that they had back then. Now more and more get added, then get taken away, then get re added, then get taken away. Makes for a bit of annoyance i guess for the people who like certain people. Guess it might be a settled caster line up in 2013 though as this is event no1. | ||
