TreniOG

Treni should be casting, well established name in the EU scene for casting.

RiceTurtle

Since we're all throwing out self nominations I think a girl should be caster. No? K, I'm just gonna pretend to take a nap while hiding my tears.

But yes, on a serious note, will there be streaming? I loved Matt Andrews as host of WCG 2016. Would love to be able to watch it live.

D'aww you're making me blush I was 97.3% joking, anway. The casters listed have years of experience and are well respected as casters. They're gonna do awesome

Also, while on the topic, I'd rather three knowledgeable casters than a female caster any day. In China, they always have one idiot girl casting. "The score is currently 4 to 5." "Player A just died!" No, really?

I remember cringing as I was listening to this girl broadcast a Sub Base S&D game. She was like (in Chinese), "He's going into the- what's it called? Small tunnel?" Bish, it's called a vent. Vent. Now stop talking. 0.0
