Comparetively, I see more vods done by huskystarcraft on youtube than tasteless. A.) Good english commentators are rare B.) He has a good voice C.) He adds entertainment value to the game -- like good commentators should Although he seems a bit sobered ever since Daniel became his partner. | ||

This is possible, although I think when he was with Susy the atmosphere was much more loose and he kind of just did he own thing. SDM is kind of intimidating being a SC coach and being so hardcore about the games -- so I think tasteless is trying to be more professional | ||

They are sooo laid back. | ||

When watching games he casts I often have a feeling he's taking it very seriously. And he hates to be interrupted because it may mess up with his commentary and other stuff he says. I mean before it was his job there was like 1 big event a year to show his skills and limited number of games to cast + he wasn't paid...? That meant his life wasn't depending on that and he didn't have to come up with new cool narrations every week, words to mostly express his feelings about certain players like for example during one WCG he said Hwasin(? VS Draco game?) rips hearts out of nerds' chests and eats them. Later it became his job and after some time I believe it struck him how much was depending on how he casts. I remember S1 Intel Classic games when he was muttering something to the mic that no one could understand. He started to look kind of awful too. How computer games players aka nerds are viewed mostly outside of Korea had to have impact too. He said (during his interview with SK Carmac for example, during WCG in Seattle?) that at some point he will go back to college but I think he knew then already that's most probably not true. Can you see him going back to US especially now, few months before SC2 comes out? @OP I'm not sure why are you looking for VODs he casted on You Tube when there are 2 completed seasons of games he casted on gomtv.net and 3rd is underway? | ||

I have to say that after Tasteless started his GOMTV career I became hooked on it, every time I watch a MSL or OSL game I wish that he or Artosis was commentating. I think SDM could become a really great commentator, he just needs to learn more vocab, and that couldn't hurt Tasteless either. I am really curious as to what will happen for SDM/Artosis/Tasteless once SC2 comes out, Rekrul are there any plans or is everything up in the air? Are you still gonna do that SC2 site? | ||
