It's just an idea, I was prepeared for the -fraggers :/
I remember watching ESL quakelive tournament with Rapha and a Russian guy if I'm not mistaken, and they had 2 casters:
An American one and a European one.
I think that the fact that they had a Euro caster and a Yank caster made it feel like they were rivals, and one was cheering for their home team (guy), which was really fun to hear and watch.
So I thought to myself, since this LAN is going to be having (again) an American team, and an Australian team, and it's going to be the biggest LAN ever, how about we also spice things up with the casters?
I know many people who don't really like Arx & Beta, however I like how they complete each other and it's a real good combo, but I would love to hear (perhaps) Sal vs Beta / Arx (if HRG and a European team make it to the grand final), or whatever European caster vs an American caster that is going to attened i49, and if it happens to be that 2 European teams would battle on the Grand Final stage, then Arx & Beta will be up there and cast.
In the case of the Australian team coming up to the grand stage, well that's a little problem I assume, unless an Australian caster or a guy who knows the team well and does a good job of casting them is going.
If this situation happens on the grand stage of i49:
HRG vs European team = Sal vs European caster.
European team vs European team = Arx & Beta.
HRG vs iM = Sal vs ??? - Perhaps the only problem with this idea.
iM vs European team = ?? vs European caster - And another case of a problem.
So I wanted to know what this lovely community would have to say about that, and which
casters should be on the grand stage if these kind of situations happen to occur, and if VanillaTV would go along with the idea.
It's just an idea I had that I wanted to share with you guys and see what you think about it.

Arx and Beta have such good synergy when they cast together, is it really okay to just split them up like that?

I used to live in New Zealand so I guess that qualifies me as the iM caster

Maybe get an individual good European caster? although I can't think of any awesome one like Arx & Beta, maybe byte?
I wish Pledge was still on VTV just because of this kind of situation :,(

Lange will be at i49 and it's unlikely he will find time to cast, but if we need someone he's available
MangachuAdmirable please

I enjoyed Arx and Beta commentary at i46. the only problem was that they kept saying things like:
1) SG gun (sentry gun gun)
2) LG gaming (Leviathan gaming gaming)

Sal will be there, Lange will be there. I don't know if the Australians will bring someone with them who can cast.
I would say, the options are very limited and ultimately, it is VanillaTV's call anyway, who they want to reward with a finals cast.

anybody but pledge, i would rather watch a world of tanks cast then him casting finals

From what I heard, it's gonna be
1) Arx&Beta
2) Sal&Lange
3) Skully&Byte
Any combinations made apart from that will be on experimental and entertainment basis.
Both myself and Admirable won't be attending i49, so any discussion on that combined with world of tanks is irrelevant.

Edit: Oh wait, is it about that tf.tf/vtv shitstorm we had a couple months ago? Don't elaborate in that case.

Admirable will be attending a clinic for gaming addiction.

Eh, not too sure how it would work if you ended up with a pair that's never casted together before, whilst having to root for "their" team. At best it'll be awkward, at worst it could be a disaster on the mic.

I am 99.100% sure there will be an aussie caster there.

Unless VanillaTV already decided on who's casting (If I'm reading #16 correctly, that's the case), it might be a good idea to list what casters are going first before we bandy about potentional casting combinations.

If it's Skully and Byte the finals will have 1 viewer less. Just let Arx & Beta do it. Admirable and Byte might also work.

Lange casting is always awesome, and although Arx and Beta did do an amazing job last time and always do when they cast, it could be really cool to have Lange/Sal and Byte for any EU v NA games.
