We all read them just to laugh. Everytime casters are announced it's an excuse for people to say "oh hey, I like these guys, don't like these guys" and provide no other reasoning. It's one of the biggest low-effort circlejerks on Teamliquid.
Maybe circle jerks should be moderated more carefully? I'm wondering what would happen if that were the case. I noticed that when something happens to certain organizations, people come out of the wood work to say "Hahah yeah ____ sucks!" or "I've never liked _____ and this just shows I'm right!".
I guess it's all a matter of opinion. The moderation for the degree to which you express your negative views is lax? I mean, it's still stricter than reddit (king of cjs imo), I dunno if stricter modding would be too much censorship.

Maybe in Wol beta husky was clueless and casual caster, but now he really improved and is quite a good.

You're calling the guy that (with his wife) started a SC2 team "fluffy"?...
Although he shouldn't, I'm glad TB is posting here - I'll probably watch MLG because of him.
There is no argument. People aren't expected to explain themselves whenever they state something.
Really? Because in my experience they are, otherwise their contribution is worth nothing.
So everyone who posts "Wow, this is a great line-up!" is then expected to explain why? Sorry dude, I have a lot of respect for you but that logic is stupid.

My logic is "don't shitpost". It's not difficult to grasp logic, it's applied to many good forums. Low-content nonsense is absolutely worthless to discussions, clogs up the forum and makes it harder to read. It's universally bad and everyone should stop doing it, everywhere.

Agree. TB is one of the few casters that can properly hype you when watching a game, I wouldn't call him fluffy.

You're right, but my comment was hardly a "shit post". It wasn't inflammatory, it wasn't putting anyone down; I was simply sharing my reaction to the caster line-up, in exactly the same way that everyone else in the first few pages was sharing theirs.
I kinda really enjoy the analytical casters way more than the play by play/hype type of casters. In that regard, that's really disapointing for me. Sure, Day9/Axslav are good for that. InControL is really good too.
I really need at least an analytical caster in the duo to enjoy the cast. Looks like most games will not even have one.
They really need to bring at least Artosis or Wolf or Khaldor or Apollo next event.
I'm not saying that DjWheat/TB/Husky are not good. They are. But they kind of need someone with them to step up the game knowledge in my book.
Negative low content posts should be way more frowned upon than positive ones.
And I think that the people who would tune in to MLG for tastosis or apollo are probably going to watch anyway, whereas tb, day9, djwheat, husky have more independent fanbases (maybe).

You just said 3/7 of the casters have good game knowledge but you're "really disappointed" by the lack of analytical casters. Then you implied that Wolf and Khaldor have better game knowledge than Day9, Axslav and Incontrol. You're not making too much sense, sir.

3/7 of the casters having good game knowledge is enough for you and is not disappointing? That's not even one per match probably, lol.
And I said : "They really need to bring one of those : Wolf, Khaldor, Artosis, Apollo". Never said than ANY of those had better knowledge than Day9/Axslav/InControL, only implied that they were good analytical casters too and that more of those was needed, to replace one of the not so analytical or to add one more to at least get one per duo.
You are the one not making senses/not reading properly.

Nah that's quite clearly one per match, you're always going to pair an analyst with a play-by-play unless you're stupid and don't know how to run a show. The balance is absolutely fine.

Imo all casters announced (didn't heard Axeltoss casting though) are quite good on analytical side, so not sure what you expect. Either way it will be by far better than proleague casting (no offense^^).
I always wandering if I am the only one who is bothered by the way DJWheat speaks, I mean, essentially by the way he enunciates words : it sounds to me like a long and boring mumble no matter what he says.
What I'm wondering about is if it's something link to him or to me : I mean, after all, as I'm French and not absolutely fluent in English, I do feel uneasy with lots of enunciation in English just because it's harder sometimes, depending on accentuation and so forth, to grasp meaning and emotion. An American view on his way of talking is welcomed...
