I voted Husky thou but tbh i dont like the style he has on his channel after the game went live. To few games and to much commercials about crap.
HD i dont like much, no humor, no knowledge, WAY to many "how to make an SCV as terran" videos and to few videos even thou he does put up more of them than husky. But he has his "wth is going on now? why is he putting down a spinecrawler, is he afraid of phoenixes?!?" moments when someone is making a spinecrawler becuse someone is making an attack on the person.
Tasteless/Psy i put even below HD becuse i find them not entertaining enough.
Then everyone else that i have heard can fight over the scraps.
Edit: Yes i value entertainment above pro-knowledge. I play the game, i see what is happening i dont need someone like crota (*brrr*) to tell me that a marine is attacking a roach and that another marine is also attacking it when it is on the middle of the damn screen!
You must have 0 sense of humor if u think Psy isn't entertaining.

I don't see KIM CARRIER AND MBC CREW WTF!?
This is clearly a hacked poll because "Other" should be winning

Oh Ive seen tasteless' Sc1 casting but since this is in SC2 I figured it was fav sc2 caster, so again does he cast any SC2 leagues or does have have a stream or youtube that he casts/plays games on?

Just watch it and listen to them blabbering on about SOMETHING ... they see the terran Starport - and totally miss the Fusion Core (65 sec build time) AND the Battlecruiser (90 sec build time) being built there - while blabbering on about Banshees and Ravens only to be totally surprised by seeing the finished thing. The Korean commentator got all of the important details though and actually clicked on the buildings.
EDIT: Game 3 in that series the BC gets noticed at about 95% completion by the "dynamic duo" ... It happens to the best of us. I do agree that sometimes Artosis and Tasteless seem... too comfortable? I can't explain it. It sometimes seems like they're not at work, they're just having a conversation and Starcraft happens to be playing in the background while they continue down random tangents. I definitely noticed it in the TSL, but it was less prevalent at Blizzcon. But it works both ways, because sometimes the tangents are fucking hilarious and I can't believe the shit they are coming up with it's so funny. I think give them another week together before you sell them down the river. I am extremely confident that they'll find their perfect stride together in the GSL. Yes, I agree that you can get very funny thing rolling while commentating the games, but I think these two have crossed the line. The games with Chipmunk were just awful when they tried to outdo each other with Chipmuk jokes and it is bad when the game gets to take a backseat over their talking. Watching for unusual things is part of the job of commentators I would presume, but they talk too much and dont look enough. I think they hardly click on production buildings to check what is coming out or even check the production tab. Else the - highly unusual - BC rush should have been noticed.
The games which TorcH casted with Tasteless on day 5 were much better, because they are not very close buddies and had to focus on the game instead of completing each others jokes.
I dont see any of the awesome Starcraft knowledge from Artosis, which he is credited with, and hear too much whining about Zerg being too weak or Terran being OP. That is actually pretty depressing after they both talk about "Protoss favored maps" in BW tournaments and then dont make the jump from that to conclude that the current SC2 maps are hampering Zerg. On your regular american sports commentary one commentator of a duo is "supposed to be" cheering for one side and the other for the other side, but Tasteless just agrees with Artosis on the topic of whining and that makes it rather boring.
As with everything in life the dosis is the key to making a thing bad. As Paracelsus said 500 years ago: All things are poison and nothing is without poison, only the dose permits something not to be poisonous. More game analysis and less buddy talk please.

Husky with a rainbow haircut wins.
I'd probably say Husky is the funniest, but Day9 is very good at explaining the game and assessing the thought process of players and pretty funny too.

Do we need to choose? :O I like -all- casters.

I voted for Chill, his voice is very attractive, though I suppose that effects how cool he is. His coolosity so to speak.
|
It's hard for me to listen to anyone but Day. He still misses plenty of stuff and is wrong about other things *gasp* ya.. but in those instances I know I'm right, so w/e.
But most everyone else doesn't even come close to knowing what's going on. He probably misses/messes up those things trying to cater to the entire spectrum of his audience, and I'm fine with that, he gets most things right, and I appreciate it.
It just makes my ears bleed when a caster exclaims, "I just don't see how the [insert race] can come back from this one!" when it's that guy that is ahead. :/
edit: oh whoops, I very much enjoy Chill too.

sooooo much apollo or lack of!

Psy, he is a great commentator also good at Starcraft. And for most of those commentators, Both things don't go hand in hand. Although he doesn't have the professionalism in commentating, his personal style is very captivating.

Favorite Caster: Day9 and Tasteless
Favorite Caster Team: Tasteless+Artosis
|
For BW it was Tasteless by a mile (except for Day in the Chill/Combat-Ex match)
For SC2 it's easily Day9. In fact Tasteless seems horribly amateur and half the time I'm not sure if he knows what he's talking about.

I agree with you there, which is the reason if DO find Psy so hilarious. If you haven't noticed he has extremely dry humor which fits perfectly with the monotone tone of his voice. Watch him again and if you still don't find him funny I agree with what EternaLEnVy said.
