Seoul, Korea Esports giant GomTV has today announced that it has completed its series of trials for Code A (and occasional Code S) casters to augment its popular due of Tasteless and Artosis.
The new addition has caught many off guard; while many had imagined that recent trial candidate Wolf would be a safe bet, Gom has bowed to pressure from an increasingly vocal movement within the company in favour of non-heteronormative alternative casters. This same faction is widely considered to have been responsible for the questionable makeup applied to progamers during this season’s promotional photography.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ACbGp.png) Does this season's progamer makeup go too far or not far enough?
The move to what has been considered a less cisgender-centric casting duo seems an open acknowledgement of the growing concern within the community that esports has too long been a male-dominated arena, intolerant of both femininity and alternative approaches to gender.
Clearly then, GomTV’s hope is that its newly introduced caster might solve all of these issues at once. The new addition to the GSL cast is to be Nicola "Tasty" Plott, whose startling good looks have caught players and commentators alike off guard.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/F8Vjz.jpg) The fan response to Tasty has already been immense, with some willing to part with their domicile for a chance to lay eyes on the bright eyes and rosy cheeks of esports.
Soon to be co-caster Dan “Artosis” Stemkoski commented:
Nicola is a truly handsome specimen, and I look forward to getting to know her more intimately as this season continues. Where Kelly had been hesitant with high-fives, Nicola’s unusually large hands are just perfect.
Dare I say it, could this be love?
With tensions and emotions running high, this season’s GSL finals should prove very interesting indeed. Could this be the first plasma blossom of a new casting archon? Only time will tell.
Nick “Tasteless” Plott was unavailable for comment at the time of writing, but this post will be updated as word arrives.
+ Show Spoiler +We have also attempted to contact Team EG, but have not yet heard a response. This post will be updated when we hear from any EG staff.

Wow and i thought it was legit for a little bit... T.T 5/5. Really just made me bust out laughing thanks for the blog
|
I actually thought that it was a legit article about how Wolf and Doa are apparently going to be casting Code A together in August, and maybe for a while longer after that, since Doa is moving to Korea with his wife.

My insides are hurting.

Can not unsee redhaired lady-tasteless. The image will be burned into my retinas for forever (not necessarily a bad thing).
|
I love the subtle jab at EG.
|

Nicola has a pretty manly wardrobe.

Anyther great one SirJolt. Cannot unsee that,

Oh my god, that picture.
You scared me for a minute when you said the bit about Wolf not being the caster. I had this horrible vision of Doakelly casting Code A for ever and ever.

Does she even need to wear a bra?

Yeah, you need to work on your photoshop skills Jolt. I've seen Nick dolled up better.

Years of gender studies have taught me a great many words that a man as feckless and fancy-free as I am should really know.

My respect for you has been promoted. I can't stand all researching the aspects of gender, sex and sexuality. So brutal~

Did I just get bumped to Silver League in TDLAppreciationcraft2?

noone gonna comment on the person in the background with the sign?
seems everyone has blinders on for tasteless

Hmmm. Well played, Jolt, well played. Your cleverness surpasses mine yet again. I like to consider myself a reasonably witty, snide and sarcastic person. So when somebody comes along and just... outwits me, quite literally, it makes me feel bad inside. In fact, cutting myself is next on my to-do list.
Also, you have fed my nightmares for the next four weeks with that photo.
GG.

Can't wait for Tasty to start casting with Daniella "Artosister" Stemkoski.
|

It's weird, I had considered this (though without the name Artosister) and I just couldn't make it work. I think Artosis is so asexual that it's hard to imagine a feminine "opposite" for him.
