Who is your Worlds MVP caster?

Casters add another entertaining and informative aspect to pro matches imo. Who is your favorite caster and why?

It's tough for me, but i think I'm actually gonna have to go with Deficio. He gets an unusually high amount of hate. But I think he has great game sense and often knows these little random bits of information (for example, Trynd is a late game counter to Fiora). He just seems to have a very deep knowledge of the game, and he never comes across as egotistical. Just enjoy his casting in general, but I probably place a higher value on knowledge than entertainment.

Honorable mentions of Quickshot (positively contagious cheer), DoA (most entertaining imo), & Monte (pretty honest and direct with his commentary. great analyses even though he can seem biased.) RIP Joe Miller.

so, if you are interested, id like to hear some opinions and appreciation of you favorite/preferred casters! Not really looking for least favorite casters nor criticisms of any caster.

At least he knows he is lame. I feel like Sjokz has some pretty cringe worthy questions and moments. She asks really.. stabbing and personal questions at times, Might be appropriate for shock journalism to elicit a response but here when a lot of the players are younger and they already have trouble dealing with these high pressure situations, I don't think her line of questioning is appropriate. Better to focus on the positive side of things. Maybe thats just me. I cringe when she is interviewing people. Not often but enough for me to expect the unexpected when she is interviewing.

i'm not attacking him I'm simply stating why he's my favourite !

Nonono I love that he knows he's lame! Being humble about your lameness is being really real. It's a take it or leave it kind of attitude. Very likeable!

You know I noticed that a lot recently with Sjokz questions...but I do also wonder if she writes them or is told what to ask. Regardless she does seem to say things like "OG congrats you won, hey btw how bad is SKT gonna smoke you next week" or her interview with Dyrus which was all together a pit personal

I read somewhere from her or heard her say in that Sjokz feature that she comes up with her own questions. I understand shock journalism and hard hitting questions are great but some of them seem so... hard? She asks obvious questions that really sting. Of courrse OG are going to try their best against SKT I don't know maybe I'm just hard on her. But she absolutely does get start struck sometimes and it shows when she interviews certain people. (FAKER) Cringe worthy yes. Much Cringe.

It seems to me the big thing she kinda only wants to hear the bad stuff. Like even interview Faker like she was like "how do you cope with underperforming and not being the best anymore". Its like she is just there being like "tell me you sorrows mortal....feed me your pain" at times

LOL you noticed that too? I thought that was just me!

I can't stand DoA.

However, PapaSmithy is even worse.

As long as MonteCristo isn't hyping Namei, he gets my vote.

Deficio is right there with him.

That H2K guy's surprisingly good too.

Death VizierOct 28, 20151 votes

Prolly (H2k) is getting there. He stumbles with game theory a bit like Crepo in his earlier casting days but being a player and analyst are two separate things. Hope he gets better and more confident.

Deman and Joe Miller. Still watch CS:GO cus of them.

TheSequelsRBadOct 26, 20151 votes

Kobe for me, also I have really enjoyed DoA actually.

Wish Riv had been casting more this worlds. I miss him.

I love the color casting of Monte and the play by play of Doa. Watch LCK games because of them even the horribad ones. They seem to add this really awesome dynamic of dry humor with slapstick and puns. Love it. They could make a talk show out of it.

Honorable mentions. The color castings of Deficio, scumbag Krepo. Jatt is good.

Play by play of Phreak and Quickdshot.

I don't hate on any of the castors. They all have their preferences and they all put valid input in and admit when they are wrong. They aren't rabid and I can respect that.

Correction I really don't like the lpl casting of that one female whats her name. So boring... and monotone.
