They do more than just describe the action; they analyze, predict, and build immense excitement, often with unique catchphrases. The dynamic between the main caster (캐스터, kaeseuteo) and the commentator is a key element of Korean esports broadcasts, creating a lively and unforgettable atmosphere. While '해설' can refer to commentary in other contexts, in gaming, it almost exclusively means esports commentary.
