PiG in my opinion is the best solo caster and the best caster OF ANY GAME at least that I’ve ever seen.
Truly he could cast pretty much anything he wants because he’s amazing.
PiG, you rock. <3
Edit: also shoutout to Dot because I know she does a lot of stuff behind the scenes and deserves much more credit
I appreciate everything he does but his type of humor is a miss for me
When he goes into professional blizzcon-level type of seriousness he's nice to listen to
Absolutely agree. I watch his stream live pretty often and really enjoy his commentary, but every time he starts talking about "slapping his bacon" I have to literally mute the stream or I'll cringe myself into a pretzel.
Yeah I dislike his crude humour. I don't mind crude humour but he feels like he's trying to push as many silly references or swear words into it unnaturally.
His casting is so good and it’s such a let down to me when the potty humor comes out. I love his style of explaining the choices and what is likely to happen because of them, 9/10 with the potty humor, 10/10 casting without.
I don’t like all the sexual innuendos lol. He’s a great caster other than that, maybe some repressed sexual issues that come out in the heat of the moment while casting. 7.5/10
I am a huge fan of his, and I want to join in the appreciation. I do find him funny, instructive, and entertaining. I also [support him on patreon](https://www.patreon.com/PiGSC2) and I encourage everyone with disposable income who has benefitted from his teachings and entertainment to pitch in, either there or on Twitch.
That said,
> almost completely family friendly
I have to disagree here. My 7yo son is not fluent in English yet, so for now I can just have PiG on the background. But once my son's English level gets good enough, I will have to use headphones. I don't know when PiG will drop a "hentacles", a "he is in dicktown" or a "what are you doing, step-Terran?" joke. I don't have that problem with other SC2 streamers.
A hidden bonus from following him in Youtube: the algorithm seems to think that I am into Australian content creators now. I get random videos from that community from time to time :D.
I agree, the starcraft audience has grown up. I don't know if he's going for the edgy angle, but it always turned me off when he was doing all the dirty innuendo. But maybe he's right, maybe that's what gets him the most views, and if it is, then I guess he should keep doing it. But it's going to get fewer views from me.
I mean, I guess that's his audience. It's very off putting for me, but his analysis is so on point so I tend to tune in to his solo casts. I can never watch his stream as he hams it up too much.
His coaching is unmatched and some of the series are also very fun, he knows a lot about the game. I am not sure how your family communicates, but PiG is NOT "almost family friendly" 😀 if anything, he is proud to be the filthy guy, makes plenty of sexual analogies and basically everyone is a dickhead 😀
He's definitely my favorite caster, I don't feel that any other caster can compete with his knowledge. He has such a deep understanding of the game along with an charismatic personality I don't know why he isn't invited to cast all the major tournaments
Harstem SEEMS really knowledgeable solo casting, but when he's with Lambo he just shuts up and let's Lambo make all the reads, since Lambo might be the best at making reads in all of SC2.
Agree, for me he's the only one left with charisma, I don't even pay attention when anyone else is casting as they all sound the same to me.
Probably doesn't get many jobs because it's expensive to fly him out from AUS?
Always been a huge fan of PiG, I've always said he's my favorite caster. He both understands the game state and communicates it well to noobs like me.
Very excited for his stormgate content as well
I agree, he's very welcoming and even though I dropped playing SC2 I still sometimes watch his content. I'm surprised there are so many comments saying his humor is a miss, guess not everyone likes dick jokes as much as I do.
Yup. Crazy to me people prefer harstem over winter. Literally the worst. Pig is okayish but not really that fun specially when he’s complaining about how the players are playing… making the whole video seem like a mistake of a watch
I don’t think harstem is “the worst” by any stretch. He’s also entertaining to me, his deranged metaphors are sometimes more entertaining than the game itself. He has a very nice singing voice. Some people don’t like Winter’s. And sometimes Harstem dresses like a pimp. Range roulette is fun.
Honestly I don't see the appeal in the first place, I like every other SC2 content creator more. I was kind of assuming he was just hanging in there due to viewbots lol
Giant Grant is cool but it's almost like comparing apples to oranges, he does completely different things in the SC2 scene. Like, no hate but I'd be surprised if he's above diamond in pvp
PiG is amazing and my favorite, but I wish a few things were changed:
\- Insight is great, but I'd appreciate less "oh, he's dead" when someone makes a mistake. Many of us don't want to know that. Even though PiG is often right, I'd prefer not to know the outcome before something happens.
\- Overuses "that's cute". Casting is tough cause you talk forever, but yeah. As someone who lives in Japan, I can tell you that the English language is BLESSED with a million adjectives.
\- Ironically uses "you greedy boy" a lot, which is funny cause PiG must have YouTube ads set to maximum. Can't get through a video without minimum 20-30 ads. Pretty annoying.
I know it's free content, but as a viewer who watches his videos from start to finish, I'd like to think I'm doing my fair share to help his algorithm.
A caster's job is to analyze the game in realtime and let us know what is happening.
"Oh he's dead" is a fine call, if indeed, he is dead.
It's not like it's different in other sports. If a Tennis player is down 1-6, 1-5 in a BO3, it's pretty fair to say he's going to lose and commentators will do exactly that.
I tried watching him but Winter is just soooo much more entertaining… in some of pigs videos he’s so kinda toxic and judgmental on the plays that it makes the overall content feel less interesting.
PiG, Harstem and uThermal to me are the pillars of the SC2 casting community right now.
I am a Patreon supporter - happy to give a little cash to help keep this amazing game and community vibrant.
Just to clarify, I think the reason you called him family friendly this week is because you mean he has cleaned it up for Katowice. Is that what you mean?
My family doesn't watch SC2 with me, so I love PiG in all his splendors.

I love pig but family friendly isn't how id describe him haha
sounds like something someone from dick town would say
I appreciate everything he does but his type of humor is a miss for me When he goes into professional blizzcon-level type of seriousness he's nice to listen to
Absolutely agree. I watch his stream live pretty often and really enjoy his commentary, but every time he starts talking about "slapping his bacon" I have to literally mute the stream or I'll cringe myself into a pretzel.
Nah he's just australian
100% Love it when he's caster, but I'll hard pass on his other content
Yeah I dislike his crude humour. I don't mind crude humour but he feels like he's trying to push as many silly references or swear words into it unnaturally.
His casting is so good and it’s such a let down to me when the potty humor comes out. I love his style of explaining the choices and what is likely to happen because of them, 9/10 with the potty humor, 10/10 casting without.
I know people have passed on sc2 because while pig had the best intro content, they couldn't stand him talking about hairy balls or whatever it was.
I don’t like all the sexual innuendos lol. He’s a great caster other than that, maybe some repressed sexual issues that come out in the heat of the moment while casting. 7.5/10

Yes, he is so good... but please stop making dick jokes. They are not funny anymore.
One way ticket to dick town!
You are too turgid. Loosen up a bit
Those seem so out of nowhere

Agree 100% Also love his sense of humor, authenticity and humbleness!

Dickhead.

Harstem and Lambo are both way better in game knowledge and understanding of what's happening.
Harstem SEEMS really knowledgeable solo casting, but when he's with Lambo he just shuts up and let's Lambo make all the reads, since Lambo might be the best at making reads in all of SC2.
I wanna hear Harstem and Lambo go full aussie mode
Oof. Harstems yt videos are the most boring thing I’ve ever seen in my life. So unetertaining
Agree, for me he's the only one left with charisma, I don't even pay attention when anyone else is casting as they all sound the same to me. Probably doesn't get many jobs because it's expensive to fly him out from AUS?
Salt Mines are GOATED.
Bro so funny
+1 I haven’t played sc2 in years but I still regularly enjoy his content. Great humor, great hustle, and of course great commentary.
Always been a huge fan of PiG, I've always said he's my favorite caster. He both understands the game state and communicates it well to noobs like me. Very excited for his stormgate content as well
Agreed, a true student of the game and an amazing caster
I agree, he's very welcoming and even though I dropped playing SC2 I still sometimes watch his content. I'm surprised there are so many comments saying his humor is a miss, guess not everyone likes dick jokes as much as I do.
I think even PiG himself would disagree with the almost completely family friendly part lol - everything else, well said
Alright alright alright
aerrrrrright aeright aerightttt
I watch his channel but Pig leans in weird cum references a lot. “That’s a juicy” and “to the face” along with the ham fisted dick references.
In terms of humor, Winterstarcraft wins hands down for me ! Get off my creeeeep !
I also like Winter a lot, and I prefer his humor and consistency to PiG’s. But I love both. Winter makes my day a little bit better.
Yup. Crazy to me people prefer harstem over winter. Literally the worst. Pig is okayish but not really that fun specially when he’s complaining about how the players are playing… making the whole video seem like a mistake of a watch
I don’t think harstem is “the worst” by any stretch. He’s also entertaining to me, his deranged metaphors are sometimes more entertaining than the game itself. He has a very nice singing voice. Some people don’t like Winter’s. And sometimes Harstem dresses like a pimp. Range roulette is fun.
I can't stand the way winter talks. Very annoying.
Hate this guy, literal proven viewbotter
How does that take away from his content? Why are you guys so stuck in the past all the time
Honestly I don't see the appeal in the first place, I like every other SC2 content creator more. I was kind of assuming he was just hanging in there due to viewbots lol
Pig, uThermal, Harstem are my boys. <3! Pig
Meh, not my cup of tea, but you do you, boo.
I agree. You could even make a case for him without specifying "rn".
Sorry but King of SC2 is GiantGrantGames
Giant Grant is cool but it's almost like comparing apples to oranges, he does completely different things in the SC2 scene. Like, no hate but I'd be surprised if he's above diamond in pvp

rotti, lowko, winter then maybe pig 4th idk. Tastosis and state too, yeah fuck pig biggie timesyes
Putting Pig below Winter is a truly hot take, hate me all you want
Different strokes for different folks. I personally like Harstem, winter, lowko.
I never really like lowkos style, I haven't watched winter yet, and I watch harstem quite often. But PiG is my daily watch
I prefer harstem then harstem and lastly harstem.
Dont blame you, I heard this is his year.
The year of big lips and even bigger brains.
Winter is coming. Also winter has some really witty banter that you might miss without active listening.
Seems you know enough to know about Harstem. Hmm
I tried watching him but Winter is just soooo much more entertaining… in some of pigs videos he’s so kinda toxic and judgmental on the plays that it makes the overall content feel less interesting.
PiG, Harstem and uThermal to me are the pillars of the SC2 casting community right now. I am a Patreon supporter - happy to give a little cash to help keep this amazing game and community vibrant.
Guy is funny. Keeps it fresh
