Husky and HD appeal to the more casual audience. Their casts are more for entertainment, and they don't do too much in-depth analysis. Artosis, Day9 and Tasteless among others are pretty friendly for the average viewer, but they are definitely more knowledgeable and insightful.

Just a slight correction. Artosis and Tasteless are actually still living in Korea and casting fulltime.

Aye; this past weekend at MLG they even identified themselves as "from South Korea", not America. They'be been there for a few years and haven't announced any plans to move.

Anyone wanting to see their stuff can go to http://www.gomtv.net/

You'll need to pay 10$ to watch all matches from a 'season', but many are free.

I'd have to say that Day9's "Funday Monday" casts are among the most entertaining videos I've ever seen. The guy is absolutely hilarious and remarkably nerdy even for Starcraft casters, qualities which don't show as much in his more analytic casts.

It's in fact entertaining enough to appeal to non-StarCraft 2 players.

It really is like watching a very fast-paced sport match, except without all the constant in-your-face product branding. Like I remember college basketball used to be, except more cerebral.

I'd not played SC or SC2 much but I bought a (replacement - long story) copy last night.

It’s pretty cool that you can be so successful with something that’s utterly inaccessible to me and pretty much everyone I know.
