  How come husky never gets in on these things? even those who are listed are my favos but srsly? how come?

• Albert Flex

  because husky is a noob compared to day9 or tasteless… he is funny indeed… but… he’s not such a great caster…
  keep it real..

  But Totalbiscuit is a caster? Seriously xD he’s a mess and shouldn’t be a caster.

  Day9 is the best,Tasteless and Artosis are following close, no question… But the other 3? I don’t even know Totalbiscuit and Apollo, and Mr.Bitter is not nearly as god as many others. He just has nothing to tell… How could they not invite RotterdaM? He is the best european caster for sure! I really hope RotterdaM will be there the next Dreamhack!!
