I don't play SC2 but Artosis mentioned that PvP in SC2 is not as binary as BW.

In Brood War if PvP matches go long enough you see Zealots, Dragoons, DTs, Archons, HTs, Reavers... like, almost all the ground units. So what exactly is he talking about? I mean, SC2 has a shit ton of units so no duh you'll see more units in play. Does he just mean there are more strategies you can go? Ie it isn't always a goon fest early on like it is in BW?

Why are you still watching that stream if you don't play SC2?

I told you Stork doesn't need to practice to be good. xD Very impressive, that micro was crisp as fuck.

Why does Zest, Bogus, Byun, Stats, herO get so few viewers? Never thought SC2 would drop in interest so much these days.

How did MisO get qualified and ZerO not?

On December 06 2016 20:46 Glioburd wrote:

Yeah I checked his items on his paladin, pretty good stuff.



ZerO didn't participate to the qualifiers. (Also HiyA).
MisO qualified maybe because playing on stage when you're not used to it can impact a lot your level. In a bad way for some players.

Zero didn't participate? Anyway miso was doing relatively fine with his mutalisk micro but his lurkers weren't in place. After you lose your third once, you might as well gg.

"...10 terran, 10 protoss and 8 zerg. You can't even think David Kim for that cause he wasn't around for BroodWar" LMAO! Golden words from Rapid. Also stop Artosis fixing Rapid, he was right about that Stork vs. Flash game on Destination, not vs. Jeadong like you said.

Rush was being silly going for SCV pull. I think he got more chance on normal game judging from his goliath micro to take out carriers, but still Stork is carrier god. Free played so perfect vs. Miso(Where), it didn't even look fair. But at winners game Stork crushed Free, what a monster! Then Rush outplayed Where and crushed Free who made a mistake by not recalling, trying to break out a walled with depo, turrets + bunker location isn't an easy task. Rush was impressive today!

Guess i underestimated Stork, the guy was getting in Starleague finals while playing wow.
No worries about zergs though, hero is a given and SK/JD have good chances

So glad Stork advanced, he looked so happy.

And wtf was Free doing in the last game? He took his 3rd base at 12 mins!!

I realize it's supposed to be constructive, but I really didn't think the cast was by Artosis and this other random person was good. Lots and lots strange SCII comparisons, "interesting" analysis and artificial almost-yelling. Can someone get Catspaw to cast this stuff in the future?

Holy crap Stork! How did he do it??

RAPID is the memelord, how dare ye. And considering at least half if not more of the people watching on the GSL stream are familiar with SC2 more than BW some watching for the first or second time the comparison is more than warranted.

On December 07 2016 16:26 LongShot27 wrote:


Well for 1, he does. He doesn't know everything about the current Korean "Pro" BW meta but then again probably only a few thousand people on the planet do. And most of them don't live in Korea, speak perfect english, work for a media company and are able to cast at the drop of a hat. You also don't have to watch that stream, there are others. You can keep your precious BW boys club intact if you want to.

I also didn't think the cast was very good... I've been listening to a lot of Sayle's proleague casts from 2012 recently, and he is much more informed about strategy and what's going on in the game than Artosis. Would give my firstborn for Sayle casting ASL

On December 07 2016 18:35 LongShot27 wrote:


Tastosis literally said during the last season of ASL and I'm quoting "we are going to be learning and relearning right alongside you all, we'll be holding hands during these casts." What planet do you live on?

On December 07 2016 17:24 LongShot27 wrote:


Truth hurts, and if that is uncalled for, then what the hell is "doesn't even know basic build orders"? Just a boldfaced lie? "Oh no someone im not familiar with is casting Broodwar and doesn't know the exact timings of these things. This is interfering with my wet dream of only BW players and personalities I care about coming back and replicating 2008 again." How about you enjoy the fact we get a free top level Korean BW cast in English from people who do actually know what they're talking about. "Oh no they mentioned SC2, this is ruining my nostalgic immersion because they are helping people who've never watched pro BW more than a handful of times WHICH IS THE FUCKING MAJORITY OF THE GSL STREAM!!! Im so sick and tired of this stupid broodwar vs SC2 bullshit. People need to grow the fuck up.

RANT OVER.

Well Tastosis probably stopped following BW once SC2 came out, so about early 2010 i believe.
Rapid has done a great job so far, given that he has probably never followed BW

First: I'm not one of the big critics of Artosis, considering that I've never watched BW in it's prime. So, many mistakes they do while commentating stay unnoticed by me.
What I mainly dislike about their cast is especially the many SC2 references ( even though it's a bit toned down compared to the first season of ASL). Some are fine, especially if they talk about Rain, Soulkey and other players who also became succesful in SC2.
Mostly when people say they dislike Artosis for his game knowledge I can't follow, because as said before I was never that big into broodwar until last year. But I can understand this. I think though, that we should cut Rapid some slack. Yes he followed BW once, but we don't know if he has ever since. Also he is not contracted to Afreeca to cast ASL. He is just subbing in for Tasteless. Artosis on the other hand should be better. Considering he was a pro for many years. I think this duo works well, but could work even better if Rapid had someone casting with him who has deep game knowledge, because he can easily do color commentary. That he knows the game at all and trivia/history about players became obvious the last broadcasts.

I think though that Tasteless will be more up to date with the meta and game than Artosis so I'm looking forward to their cast

On December 09 2016 02:04 Miragee wrote:


I like your attitude. I don't know if Tasteless will be more up to date. I kind of doubt it. He was never the "deep knowledge" guy, neither in BW nor in SC2. His SC2 casts were all about passion and the chemistry with Artosis. He often got things wrong. So I expect him to do the same in BW, especially when he didn't play nor watch it for years. Maybe he will teach me a lesson though. If he does, I will be a happy man.

What's with these people coming from sc2 back to bw and just casually advancing?

No, that was his brother, Day9.

No, it was Tasteless. Tasteless had 10 years of Brood War experience. This was before Day9.

On December 09 2016 10:16 LucasWoJ wrote:


No, you're wrong. As was said above, Day[9] was known for his in-depth analysis. Tasteless was known (and is known) specifically for his lack thereof. He's known for his extremely entertaining casting style and chemistry with co-casters.

Hes known for being a play by play caster, not for a lack of game knowledge. He also analyzed games more often as a solo caster by virtue of having to fill more air time.
