With no open bracket and me not garnering enough points to qualify through last year being able to cast at MLG Dallas is a dream come true.. I love competing but if I can't compete casting is a close second.
Comments about analytic casting are understandable but I don't think you will have to worry too much.. while Artosis/Apollo are never anything but an absolute upgrade to any casting lineup a few of us are working with hots on a regular basis.. speaking for myself I play it 5-8 hours a day with less and less WoL sprinkled in there. When I am not playing I am watching vods/streams etc.. we got ya covered! Congrats on this job! I feel bad that your progaming career is finally over and was unsuccessful, but hey, as you said, casting is a close second. Goodluck with this new endeavor and I hope you will be successful as a caster!

wow, thats pretty shocking actually. I wonder what were the issues, money? wanted different gender?
Well, too bad.

annoying to see incontrol worm his way into the caster role, over much better and more professional casters
and anna has always been awkward as hell with forced enthusism and excitement

Get back to us once you've actually watched him cast a game. Thanks.

Tastosis drive a pretty hard deal. Casters aren't nearly as big a deal as they were in the past so it's not surprising MLG cut the extra cost. Why do you think casters aren't as big of a deal as they were in the past? I still care about it just as much as I always have.
I think the point is that while it is still very important to have good casters, it is not as important to get a specific caster as it used to be. Back in the days it felt like having Day9 as main caster was more important than having good players. Nowadays there are far more competent casters. Personally i am just as happy to see Apollo or Rotterdam as i am to see Day9.

Personally i am just as happy to see Apollo or Rotterdam as i am to see Day9. So true. I remember when I wont even bother with an event if it werent casted by Tastosis9. But there are a lot of talents right now, and we can even say that Day9 is not even among the top anymore. Anyone is just about as good as anyone, save a few.
By the way, all Americans, right? I was hoping rotterdam was in.

Solid line-up! Looking forward to it

Looks like a good lineup! Apollo is probably my favorite caster so i'll miss him, but I like Incontrol and think Husky will be fun

InControl's casting is actually quite good and he's one of the more amusing casters (imo) when there isn't anything exciting going on in the match. The only real cringe-worthy moment of InControl's casting that I can recall was when he and Apollo were discussing the royal family. I wasn't at all a fan of his as a player, but as a caster he does a fantastic job. The dude oozes charisma.
And you think any of the other women that they hire to be eye candy for the sad ogling male heavy masses are any less forced in their excitement and enthusiasm? If anything Anna is less so as she spends a great deal of her time in a house filled with pro gamers. Not to mention that she actually has personality instead of just a blank vapid stare and smile.

Hahahaha, you think there's a lot of money in this

well classic lineup no big surprise,i would have like ToD even if it would have been for a few matches.
On the other hand there is also a french cast (legit) since MLG and GK have a partnership by ogamingTV.

Day9 - meh DjWheat - meh Husky - meh Totalbiscuit - meh Incontrol - nice! Axslav - don't know his casting Axeltoss - same as Axlsav Anna Prosser - meh, nobody needs a floor reporter. "are you excited? - Yes. oh ok. good luck"

Darn, that must be rough. You should use the mute button. I hear (and don't take this as fact because it is just what I have heard) that is turns off the noise comming from your PC and then you can watch the game without having to listen. If it works the way I understand it to, you should be able to watch the match without hearing Incontrol's voice. I know that can be a real problem for some people.
But who am I kidding, trolls don't watch MGL. They live under bridges, post on reddit and stalk the members of EG like that horrible, spiteful ex-girlfriend I had in college.
