TobiWan, LD, Ayesee and Luminous had been invited to The International 3 as the English casters of the tournament. No news about GoDz or the boys from TheGDStudio have surfaced, although they are expected to be invited shortly too.
As we receive more and more information about The International 3, four English casters have also announced their invitation to Seattle for Valve's annual Dota 2 event.
The first English caster to announce their invitation was Toby 'TobiWan' Dawson, followed shortly after by Aaron 'Ayesee' Chambers. Both were the main casters of The International 2 and will be making their return to Seattle to be the main casters this year.
Just moments ago, David 'LD' Gorman and David 'Luminous' Zhang tweeted that they will also be heading to Seattle this August.
I am delighted to announce that I'll be casting at TI3 with my partner in crime @lddota. Big shoutouts to fans, Valve and my family #dota2
