RIP GD studio I guess, too beautiful for this world.

GD studio wasn't about casting, it was just about James letting his buddies crash at his huge, empty house since he left Soe via text on Christmas Day

They probably got sick of the constant sobbing over Simple Plan's Untitled (How Could a This Happen To Me)

Well, Zyori is only going to host, so things might be okay. Just gotta remember to mute the stream between games, no biggie. ODPixel+Draskyl+Synderen is a great casting combo and the world needs an alternative to BTS/joindota.

Plus it gets Draskyl away from "literally only cast twice a year" GDStudio. I was legit worried if he would end up not going to the next TI because you either cast a major in the meantime or you simply aren't a bigname caster anymore, and I'm not sure Dreamhack will be a major.

ok so if we think that lineup is cool can we all go and say that moonduck is a really stupid name

also kind of weird that they didn't get sheever as their interviewer. I mean hot_bid is the best but I think he's just too good for anyone to get for a studio and isn't he still affiliated with liquid (not sure on this)

I am pretty content with that lineup overall, not that it is hard to like a lineup with Synderen in it.

Including talent agency in their description is interesting. I wonder if the casters covering stuff get paid directly by the tournament and the studio gets a cut off of it?

the main thing i've heard wrt reasons to not add sheever is that yames said sheever is really ambitious with regards to projects she works on so maybe they didn't intentionally exclude her?

I don't think anyone will explicitly say though.

also it's yames so grain of salt etc.

you only need 2-3 experienced pros on the team, particularly on the supports. the rest just need mechanics and follow directions well with some practice you can make anybody look like a pro.
