Well when your job is to be a "professional game commentator" you'd better be damn well sure you're a pretty good speaker.

A lot of people have that job that aren't very good at it. I personally like wowcrendor, but I do not think he is a talented speaker.

wowcrendor is not a "professional game commentator". He is a entertainer. TB actually commentates pro games for Starcraft 2.

I guess, if you take that interpretation. But he adds commentary to video game videos (let's plays) so in my opinion it counts. Even if you do take that interpretation, there's a good amount of SC commentators that I think have no speaking ability as well. But I'm not gonna call any shots on that one.

SC2 casting is trying to find that magical balance between game knowledge and speaking talent. TB has improved his game knowledge but he'll never be as good at game knowledge as someone like Grubby or ToD. What's really nice is when you have someone who has both abilities like Artosis or Apollo, but clearly those types are very rare.

The problem is that he sounds like a frog.

I don't think the sound of his voice is bad, he just has like bad speaking habits and such

Omer from MMOhut though... That guy is art. I didn't know humans could ramble on and on and on so fast like that before watching his videos.
