    I think you're under the impression that the whole of the audience a) plays at the same level you do and b) wants to get deep analysis of the decision-making, and that's actually not a good assumption to make the majority of the time.

    Identification of what is happening (and basic analysis, example: This guy has a bunker, marines in his ramp, and an early second gas => it's fairly likely that he's teching to banshees) is 'enough' for the majority of people watching _and_, importantly, the great majority of people at a major event like MLG or IEM who are _not_ SC2 wonks who need to get a little more basic.

    kambing whats the most solid z build vs protoss for you

    Speedling expand (my variation is 14 gas, 14 pool, expand with first 4 lings) is the safest opener since you can instantly lose the game with a hatch-first build to cannons or lose mining time trying to go pool/hatch.

    From there, you should be aiming for a completed roach warren when your lair finishes along with quick roach and overlord speed. Once you're secure, you can take your third and consider being aggressive with ling/roach or roach/hydra while you start upgrades.

    Once you've confirmed he's going colossus tech, drop a spire and begin producing corruptors to match his colossus count. Your goal here is to deny his third for as long as possible and also to keep the colossus count low. Macro-wise you should be or a near max or maxed army at 14-16 minutes assuming you don't trade significant numbers of units in the process.

    This of course ignores all the variations you need to consider if the protoss doesn't decide to sentry expand into a macro mid-game. Some examples:

    + You should cut drone production (ideally ~22 drones) and mass produce lings with an eye to transition into roaches or banelings if you suspect a 4 gate
    + You should consider picking up burrow on the lair transition if you suspect a 6 gate timing.
    + You should drop an evo chamber for a spore in each mineral line, produce an extra queen, and go for a quick hydra den if you scout mass phoenix.
    + You should simply build extra queens and consider a quick hydra den if you scout a voidray/gateway timing.

    Wanting casters to be able to talk about strategy coherently in a real-time-STRATEGY game is, apparently, elitism.

    Elitism would be expecting casting of any sport, e or otherwise, to be focussed on analytical commentary rather than play-by-play and claiming that play-by-play is somehow bad. The fact that play-by-play commentators are so watched is all the evidence needed to demonstrate that a significant majority of the SC2 viewerbase is not actually concerned too much by the strategy in this strategy game, they simply want to be entertained. Are all those viewers wrong? Saying yes would be fairly elitist, after all, who are you to tell them their entertainment isn't entertaining? Ideally, all casting would be done in teams with set roles but in reality, that is simply not practical with the way eSports is currently organised.

    I don't really care that you're casting or your fan base, just like I didn't care about that community of bad casters in BW (who also had tons and tons of viewers). So long as you don't actually cast anything important (TL, GSL, IEM, MLG).

    I have a feeling you're going to be horribly disappointed.

    For whatever he lacks, I can't think of a better caster than TB with regards to growing sc2/esports. Like if it was on TV, and dudes with beers were flipping channels, they'd stop.

    I enjoy more in depth commentary too, but the two listening experiences aren't mutually exclusive.

    "Minigun's ball... He has this HUGE BALL, and it's swelling out of control. Catz can't handle this massive ball, not even with his own big ball. Minigun's swollen ball keeps getting bigger and bigger."

    Top-notch casting, :P

    And then he popped out ~20 mutas and killed everything.

    Just be aware, that is literally the exact same thing they were thinking.

    Long time a go, in a galaxy far away, I'd hang out with some regionally popular rave DJs.

    The one guy would practice non-stop, because, he said that there were hundreds of DJs in the city playing in their bedrooms that were better than him.

    No offense, Gaga's shtick may not be to your liking, but babe's got talent. It would be like saying that Jerry Garcia was a mediocre musician.
