I think replacing Tasteless to klazartsc dosen't solve any problem.
Real problem is he is the 'one' English Commentator for GSI. That's the problem.
In Korea, Starcraft relay team has three members(common). An announcer, and two commentator. Tasteless did great job because he have to play three rules alone(announcer, two commentator). If GOMTV has more interest for international relay, they have to set up common style team for english broadcasting.

I hear a lot about tasteless having a superior understanding of strategy/predicting play etc.

I've seen all of tasteless at WCG and blizzard invitational and haven't really witnessed it. I know that in these casts he had to keep things things basic cause a lot of people watching dont really know much starcraft...but still, i wasn't really impressed.


So anyway, is there any other tournaments hes casted which display another style of commentary? I am assuming he will commentate quite differently in the GOMTV Invitational considering the hype thats been around TL.
Anyone got links to some of tasteless' best commentary?


My favourite commentary with Tasteless was the match he did with Manifesto at Blizzcon.

Tasteless is definitely much more entertaining (which is good for a newbie crowd), but I find that Klaz's understanding of the game seems to be deeper. Unfortunately, sometimes Klaz starts talking so fast I have a hard time understanding him.

Tasteless is way better than Klaz and Klaz's voice is too annoying.

If klaz was put into that position the casting would blow hard

So yeah, again no offense to Klaz, greatly appreciate his time and effort, but DAMN HIS FANBOYS ARE ANNOYING AS HELL! They just won't quit and they're spreading to more threads:

http://gsi.gomtv.com/freeboard/329
VitalityIs Tasteless great commentator or what?
Is GomTV great Korean company or what?

I think that if Tastless and Klazart may commentate together it would be twice as better! )

Thanks gom TV..


The OP of the other thread is rambling on again:
joeyklazartsc is entertaining. that's more important than analysis or experience. with experience tasteless should be more entertaining but he's as drawl as ever. klaz can commentate by himself and continually talk and be enetertaining for a very long time whereas when listening to tasteless i get bored in seconds..

other's say klaz isn't knowledgable.. um i'll agree and say moletrap and diggity aren't knowledgable but klaz knows his stuff. not to the extent of tasteless but close enough. and way beyond moletrap and diggity. but that doesn't matter because what's most important is entertainment and getting MORE views.

tasteless has been commentating for years and it HASN'T WORKED. but once klazart started commentating thousands of people watched his videos the minute it got posted up. after a few months MANY people started imitating him and making english commetnaries too. after tasteless' commentary for the past few (or several?) years no one has yet to "copy" him and make english commentaries on their own until klazart did; which was and is 100x more entertaining than tasteless'.

i guarantee you guys if you get klaz you'll get TONS of more views. at least give him a try and see which videos get more views. or have a VOTE. and let US decide.


Again, utmost respect to Klaz for all he's done for the SC community but I want to reiterate that his fanboys need to die in fire.

I don't get where this general idea comes from that the audience just get's to decide that a hobbyist from Irland can just start professionaly commentating a tournament in Korea tomorrow.
I wish those youtube morons would just shut up.

Didn't Tasteless before extend an invitation to Klazart to commentate with him, and Klazart quickly refused the request and admonished Tasteless for asking over an open forum?

Why then would Klazart be even remotely interested in going to Seoul?

Nathan is right, that was in a new post in May or June last year I think.

Edit: I think it was somehow connected with this post but I don't really remember:

Yeah. I didnt understand either. He treated a very generous offer like an insult. It was disgusting, and one of the reasons I dont like him as a person.

I dont like him as a caster, because he is wrong. constantly.

Klazarts voice is so annoying

I like tasteless alot more but I agree he could need someone else there with him. I aired radio myself one time when my friend was sick and it was very hard indeed

If Tasteless also adds a little more complex and advanced commentary he will do fine.

He likes the attention and thrives on it and it's a good thing because he delivers

Klaz is great but i doubt he's going to come from FUCKING IRELAND all the way to SOUTH KOREA and leave EVERYTHING behind.

Has he even spoke of wanting to go to korea?

The first English casted games I have ever seen are the GSI being done by Tasteless, and I think he's doing a very good job. I have been playing the game since it came out, but I am still not very good at it. I like how he occasionally explains things that I don't understand or didn't know. I hope he keeps casting in the future.

I think that's probably one of many tasteless's strengths compared to others. He has a very clear voice. Even when he's rambling really fast about god knows what, you still understand everything he's saying.
