So I grew up with sc:bw. I switched to SC2 when it came out - reached diamond when that was the highest rank and then quit until SC:R came out. Probably evidenced by my last blog post here being in 2010? wow almost 10 years ago.

I just recently watched the Sons of Starcraft series
good series - worth the time.

Hearing tasteless describe himself as the guy asleep in class because he played starcraft all night - can totally relate.

This got me thinking about that song they made for tasteless?


Anyway so this trip down memory lane just made me think about that strange relationship we as viewers have with casters of our fav. games. I remember watching Nick casting the first gom sc tournaments solo and sometimes with Lil susie? (what happened to her btw?)

So here I am much older in life - still listening to Artosis and Tasteless talk about starcraft with the Afreeca tv ASL seasons and it's fantastic. Amazing game, funny jokes and overall great entertainment. It's just strange that it's like hearing old friends talking but without ever meeting them? I know with all their fame and viewership since the old days of struggling in Korea are probably a distant memory but as a long time viewer of sc:bw content - it was appreciated and still is.

I think my life will be complete when I see Tasteless crash Artosis's twitch stream and blindly dt rushes him to victory.

I think I wouldn't be overstepping my boundaries to update you on the wonderful news that she is involved with an eSports team and got married last year! She's doing well

That is great news. Think the panda bear guy jokes are the only thing that hasn't prospered since then.

That would truly be glorious. If he manages to do it on a smurf without him knowing would be hilarious.
Artosis loves Starcraft
