At least they only hired on a few bad people.
Not a bad list, but their strongest 'analytical' caster there is incontrol... that is less than ideal. Where's Apollo :[
I really like Day9, but only when he's really casting with Apollo and the showdown things they've done have made me come to love Axel/Axlav.
I'm not a huge fan of Incontrol or Totalbiscuit, although Totalbiscuit is amazing with Apollo I feel.
Day9 is really starting to annoy me. I feel like he has really let himself go in terms of knowledge/reads about the game, and now just resorts to fake hype and excitement to try and cover up how little he knows now. Wont stop his fans from saying ridiculous statements that he knows more than some pros.
DJwheat is another who is just so blah in terms of casting. He really doesnt bring anything to the table. No real knowledge, no insight, not even that great of a hype man. Always surprises me how much work he gets, then I remember that he is probably one of the most connected guys in the business, so that helps immensely.
Husky, say no more.
TB again, I dont hate the guy, but I'm just not really a fan.
Incontrol, dont hear enough of his casts or commentaries, but I'll fully admit its just my personal bias of how I dislike him, so that obviously colors my perceptions of the guy.
Axlav/AxelToss, ugh, two guys with no personality or charisma. Just boring casts.
I understand why they didnt get guys like Artosis/Tasteless, in that I still feel that they are the undisputed best casters, even with their faults, its just that its too expensive to bring them over, not jusfitying the high cost in terms of flying them over. Them, and someone like Wolf who I have really started to enjoy more and more. I used to find him somewhat odd and ecentric, though he has definitely grown on me. Those 3 + Apollo are probably the 4 best casters in the business currently.
Remember when we were debating whether or not aLive would be a good pickup for some team?

Is iNcontroL casting more than playing now-a-days?
If only we were that lucky. I haven't seen him casting much and he has been streaming his playing quite a bit lately.

At least you have baseball.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Damn it, sports!

I agree with you except for incontrol, he is a really good caster and is actually quite funny. He actually had really good chemistry with khaldor and Kaelaris.
I would have been happy with apollo, Khaldor, wolf, Kaelaris, incontrol, tastosis, grubby or totalbiscuit. There are a few other good ones but they're the first who come to mind.

Insane. Can't believe it's actually out soon.
Then after one month of HotS being out, everyone can start crying for LotV to save StarCraft.

It's already better than WoL. So I think we're fine.

I would be into that
Yup. I'm in love with HoTS right now. Mech finally recieved what it needed to make tanks awesome in TvP (IMO).
<3
Not really, most people either aren't actively playing or are playing HotS.
Just in case you're thinking about doing another playthrough of Wings of Libery as a story refresher for HotS, save yourself the trouble. As a matter of fact, I've already gone through the trouble and recorded all the story bits from WoL and put it on YouTube. I've even put it all in a handy-dandy little playlist so you can watch the hole 5 hours worth of video without ever having to click an extra button.

Oh, and just in case you were thinking about the first game, I've got you covered there too. I did the same thing for Starcraft and Brood War a couple years back when WoL was coming out.

I just had a game then against a Terran, killed both his Command Centers.
While he was being revealed, he started building a new Command Center.
I killed that one.
The game let him continue with his army roaming the field.
I flew my Mutas around looking, but couldn't find another Command Center.
I just assumed he'd lifted off one and stashed it someplace weird on the map.
Checked the replay after, and nope, no Command Center.
I'm relatively new, but shouldn't this have been a win to me? (I did win anyway, but it was close).
Was he using hacks? Is it a glitch? Should I report this?

And remember the hybrids are coming!
You need to destroy all of his buildings to win the game without him quitting first.
Was pretty BM of him though.
There are at least 3-8 guys playing sc2 at random times during the week. Lots of custom games. Though when I visit this thread I only see a couple people who play anything.

Once you kill all his CC's the rest of his buildings are shown to you.
I know, read his post. His opponent was getting revealed and built another CC. He destroyed that. Then he said that the game let his opponent continue playing the game, so my understanding is he thought the game claims you victorious if you destroy all of the opponents bases, instead of all the builings.
I'm on my phone so sorry Im not clear

I didn't mean it that way. I was just adding on to your post so he knows.
Does this mean there is a new version of that game where players simply throw desserts at each other or do you mean it is a new game for gafnight?
It's a game that combines different aspects of dessert strike, squad tower, and nexus wars, only misses the awesome battles of dessert strike, and the strength of balance in sqaud tower
GAF night was a success as well!
Thanks to Striek who posted it first (from TL)
When you have done that, a dropdown window (?) will appear at your login screen, where you can select the region you want to play in.
Yea, I've played 20 or so games on NA. Just do what profit said and you'll be able to do so. Kinda sucks being in Europe since Korea and SEA both lag too much, so only NA is playable.
As long as NA is playable, I'm a happy man. Atleast now almost all of GAF can play together without too much issues.
