He got me into watching pro SC vods as well. Where is this Mr and Mrs Klazart commentary? Link?

This is sad. So very sad. His relatively brief tenure as a commentator only underscores the rapid changes in the Starcraft scene.

he also got me and a bunch of friends into starcraft in the first place. although it seems he isn't the be-all and end-all of starcraft commentaries, his videos are and always will be one of the best ways for any non-starcraft players to experience the thrill of the game.
klazart, thanks for everything and good luck in the future.

I dislike his commentaries but I respect the hell out of him for the amount of effort he puts into them. So the best of luck to him as he moves on with his life.

I'm lost. When did he become a legend? He just talks too fast and gets most of his analysis completely wrong

There are at least 2-3 threads that debate this and honestly it's getting pretty stale. Regardless of what you think of him, he's increased the amount of people who follow starcraft worldwide. That's pretty legendary.

It'd be great if someone could take a small sample size of Tasteless commentaries and compare them to Klazart's. Count the number of facts (singles only, no repeating the same stuff) or insight given and see who comes out ahead.

You'll be surprised at how decent Klazart was or well... how bad Tasteless is.

What also would be great if we would totally not do this and instead just say goodbye Klazart in this thread.

He got me into Brood War. Sad sad panda. Still loved his rant about how when Boxer cheeses it's different because he lays down 4 barracks down at your motherfucking ramp.Good stuff.

Good luck Klaz, get that book published.

Good luck to Klaz- he's the first English commentator I came across which eventually introduced me to the much larger SC community. (Funnily enough, I first became aware that there were televised proleagues by a radio segment on the Canadian Broadcast Corporation.)

Actually, I shouldn't say first- there were a couple others I found on youtube. But they were longer on expletives and short on actual commenting. Trash talking during a proleague game is REALLY annoying. Klaz was the first good commentator I came across on youtube.
