GenG and Kr/Pacific winning their first trophy is cool and all, but how did Doug and Babybay end up casting the grand finals over Achillios and Paperthin?

I like Doug and Babybay and I'm glad they got this opportunity, but I feel Achillios/Paperthin kinda got snubbed here. Feels kinda wrong that the best Pacific casting duo wasn't there for when Pacific got their first win. Especially given the fact that Achillios' casting really shines when there's a lot of chaos with GenG and TH both being rather chaotic teams.

They casted G2/TH for some reason instead. Honestly a strange choice considering Doug and Babybay are NA casters. You would think they would've switched which casted which. Achillios calling the GF would've made up for the lack of crowd response.

Yeah, totally agree.

It feels really weird. Maybe they think that Doug and Babybay have more clout as casters, so they would help viewership in the final.

It's a real shame. I think the Achillios and Paperthin casted Paper Rex/EG UBF last year was more hype than the actual grand final.

do they genuinely take in clout as a factor for these series?

No clue, just speculation.

I imagine it's less of a "clout" thing vs who is the casting duo they think will get them the most views.

I think paperthin and achilios are still the more clouted duo
if it was balla with doug then it would've been different

Yeah. You can't feel how dominating GenG was on the last 2 maps with their casting.

Skill issue. That's their job. Other casters can do it.

babybay is great on the analyst desk. idk whose decision was it for him to become a caster. doug carried the fuck outta him, and that's saying something.
achilios paperthin duo is so goated, especially achilios who is easily top 5 in my books.
babybay called geng "world destroyers" like what the fuck does that even mean?

I was really looking forward to a Achillios and Paperthin grand finals. You can look through my post history, it's something I've talked about since Champs 2021 when they casted an international lan for the first time.

If you could read more than five letters, you would see that I'm happy for Doug and Babybay, just would've rather seen something else.

doug is too good of a caster to have babybay as his partner
