im sorry for the "strong" language but he didnt commentate much on idras play or strat, he just went "idra will win" mode and just keep on telling how xiaozl ( ? ) had lost. i think the most technical thing he said was "idra has 7 rax" or sth. maybe its the korean air or homesickness but he tends to overcheer foreigners that are in korea (the other one being ret) | ||

Recently when I rewatched Jaedong vs Flash in the GOM finals on motbobs stream I was like holy shit I had completely forgotten how amazing he was at casting, the games were so bad and he still managed to make them so freaking exciting, his enthusiasm was just so huge, shouting at everything that happened  . Maybe he's just better at solo commentating or sth.Of course he is still very good and one of the best there are but imho he used to be better because he used to be more excited. I agree. After Tasteless joined up with SuperDaniel in GOM, the quality of his cast went down from there. | ||

For example Tasteless solo casting at gom >>> Casting with Daniel Lee, although I used to like Daniel Lee a lot. | ||

Artosis does favour the guys that have been to korea admittedly, but I don't there was a single thing he said out of line tonight. | ||

A lot of people seemed to hate Daniel's commentaries but i actually liked his a lot. He mentions things you can try to improve your game, things you're suppose to do, what you're suppose to have at this situation, how progamers train, and even little stories about the pros. Things like in sc weekly by artosis when he mentions how flash took his nat gas and with scvs that he was going to use to maynard to nat cc he made them mine gas first before cc was up to get his fact earlier. Though I noticed it when i was watching the game before but im sure a lot of people missed it while watching and didnt know until artosis mentioned it out. | ||

He also always has some really strange analysis like with the game 1 starvation strategy he didn't really explain that the point was to cut off the amount of bases P can get but emphasized the easy fourth gas, which was kind of strange... I just don't like his casting too much nowadays. His analysis has never been too great but his humor seems to have dropped down quite a lot. I remember watching GSI and smiling and laughing at numerous points during the games. Watching this series, nothing he said made me even crack a smile. I think Artosis had better humor today, and actually has the better humor overall, nowadays. Many of Tasteless's current comments seem like faked excitement and also some strange attempts of analysis that don't seem to work too well. Unrelated to this, I believe it was very strange how neither Tasteless nor Artosis catched the obvious Hydralurk strat on Outsider in Idra vs Xiaozi. It was extremely obvious when the 4th hatch went down, and the fact that neither caught it(or at least mentioned it) when Xiaozi started researching ranged attack was quite shocking. Overall, I think that Artosis was the better caster here by far. Tasteless made me feel kind of like what Gentho did while I was watching the Ascension cast way back in 2008. I pretty much was just waiting for Artosis to start talking again.

There's not too much in-depth analysis you can do about such standard play, and I think he did fine. I think it's quite objective to say that Idra would win. And he did. It wasn't even close, it was a total crushing. | ||

Enthusiasm is alrite but what i look for in commentaries and have always looked for in commentaries is when the commentators try to get inside the players' head and talk about what decisions they make, what decisions they can make etc. I watch games for entertainment but I also watch games to learn about starcraft. Its a bit more for competitve players then casual players and there are a lot more casual players here cant do anything about it i suppose.

This is what I love about artosis' casting in general, I think we have that in common, but still, its not like tasteless has evolved from mindless shouter -> superanalytical caster, to me it just feels like he lost some of that fire (to use a cheesy word) he used to have. @Shikyo I think you are a bit too harsh but I definitely agree that tasteless has acquired some habits, like you mentioned that he always says great game no matter if it was good, or something that I dislike is that when his partner says something very often he's immediately like "yeah definitely, 100% I have to agree with you absolutely" ( like when artosis said destination was the best map ever), it just sounds pretty fake to me and as if it didnt even matter what his partner said. | ||
