HenryG and Anders will return as a casting duo for CS2

When someone says the name Anders Blume, it’s hard not to think of the epic old days of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. This caster has been around for almost 10 years and he delivered spectacular commentaries regardless of whom he teamed up with.

But now that he’s coming back with Henry “HenryG” Greer as his casting partner, CS2 events, which are likely to start in the second half of 2023, are guaranteed to be monstrous.

Anders’ style and events

Anders’ commentary style has made him famous. Or, to be more precise, his way of hyping up legendary in-game moments has made him unforgettable. He was there when Aleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev threw his AWP over the wall and then won round six against Team Liquid, back in 2016.

This was easily one of the most impressive moments in CS:GO and also one of the reasons why the AWP Dragon Lore skin became so famous later.

In total, Anders casted matches at more than 100 CS:GO events over the course of his career and he is one of those casters that not only love the hyping up part. He’s also very good at the game and knows exactly how to talk about it in an expert manner.

The way in which he says “tripple kill!” and “are you kidding me?!” is so enjoyable that you could listen to his casting all day and not get bored for a moment.

When it comes to esports, it is in part thanks to people like him that the LAN events are fun to watch. A club needs a good DJ. An esports arena needs a great caster.

HenryG’s style and events

Like Anders, HenryG is very knowledgeable about the game and his voice is absolutely perfect for shout-casting. But his casting style is much more nuanced than that. He can technically analyze a scene and let you know what’s going on, or he can hype up an upcoming clutch moment and make it 10 times better.

HenryG used to be a professional CS:GO player himself, and for half a year he was also involved in managing Cloud9. He pretty much quit casting in May 2020, six years after starting this journey, but then came back to doing what he does best in October 2022.

Now, half a dozen tournaments later, he feels ready to team up with arguably the best CS:GO caster in the history of the game and entertain us when the big CS2 events start to unfold.
