Dude chill, I make fun of Artosis all the time when he says goofy stuff. And I'm certainly not the only one who does (not that it'd stop me if I were the only one). 
For example, a whole bunch of ppl jumped down his throat when he dissed Leta not long ago, IIRC. And the 'Rapidosis' casts were, ahem, not great, don't care what anyone says.
Still, I do check his cast out (i.e. jump away from BisuDagger/FlashFTW) for the live interviews after the matches, since they can translate. And Tasteless is a very good partner for him, the right partner anyway.
But still, sigh. I miss Sayle and Elegant.

I just worry Stork got the wrong idea.
He has had less exposure to BW in 2016 than any ASL Ro24 (28 actual) player.
And he made top 8. That's a good sign. That's a great sign. Are you kidding? Of 28 players, the player with THE LEAST PRACTICE IN THE PAST 4+ YEARS, advanced deeper than 20 of them, and only 4 players made it further than him.
Jaedong said before the game that Stork needs more practice, and why not take him at his word? JD's extra months paid off. Even in December JD looked much more questionable than this month. But JD has 6+ months of extra BW. It's a matter of investment.
Lessons NOT to take:
1) He doesn't need practice
-Quite the opposite. While even in Kespa days he sometimes was known for less then stellar dedication at times (forgive me if I'm dead wrong, but the WoW practice was well known here), the top 4 have more practice and that's a big reason why they advanced further than him.
2)It's hopeless
-It's the other way around, again. To reiterate, he was better than 20, only 4 did better than him. As time goes on, the months Stork is behind will narrow. Stork has fractions of the practice now of any of the top 28. As 2017 advances, and beyond, fractions become just a few percent. He has more hope than almost any of them based on this alone.
I'd love to get a message to Stork and give him my encouragement. He got outplayed, hard, but he has so much potential even as one of the oldest players left in BW. I can't wait to see him next ASL, if he'll play. Is this a response to Stork saying on stream that he thinks he's at his peak? I feel like the comments he's been making recently indicate he's just not up for trying so hard to be the best at BW as much as just being a successful BJ. He probably won't leave the scene, but it seems he wants to find some other way to stay relevant and make a living. I can't blame him, though of course I hope it's just his way of expressing his disappointment about his recent performance; I think he's even more of a defeatist than Guemchi and undermines what he can do. I'd love to see him take more golds before he goes away -- I think he's good for another play-my-heart-out run. edit: Also can someone clarify all the details about the crowdfunding? I think it's shady to announce it so late in the tournament, especially if it affects earnings/prize pool. AFAIK the crowdfunding is only for the finals venue. Nothing to do with earnings. They said half of it goes to the prizepool, the other half is used for the venue
Sorry didn't want to give misinformation. My bad. Have no clue then

Didn't Sayle say somewhere he was going to cast ASL2?
It would be great to see Sayle and Elegant cast again.
|
Sayle is the best bw commentator of all time by a mile. Him coming back would have been amazing!
|
in game 2 did jd get hydra range?
|
Sayle was my favorite too. Shame...he would've been all over this event.

am i in the minority when i say i'd like a tasteless solo cast once in a while??

Naw, I'd actually give that a try. I can't stand Tastosis, but for getting the interviews they are great.
Averatec titty shamboo GomTV classic solo Tasteless was quite enjoyable.

I'm not sure. I found it odd too that he got speed first. I'm guessing he didn't since it was much less of a "slow" bust and more of a "rush in snipe the cannons fast" bust. Range is generally just used to outrange the cannons to kill the gateway and forge.

No he wasn't.

I'll help pitch in for a year's supply of grapes, if that can convince Sayle to return for the next ASL.

Err tons, before Sayle was even a thing. I forgot most of them because I only watched casted replays of them on youtube. I would put Kiante above in for the sake of naming one. Don't get me wrong, I love Sayle's casting and would like to have him back. I just don't think he was the best ever at all.

I don't know about Sayle, but EleGant misses you too ^^
I'm definitely considering getting a cast together for something soon. These games are just so much fun to watch, and there is so much to say about pretty much every one of them.

Any chance of it being a dual cast with you and Sayle? You guys worked VERY well together.

yea hydra speed is easy to spot but when he killed the two cannons it looked like he was getting some extra extra pow pow so i was wondering if this was common in a x hatch hydra bust

in many ways I agree and in many ways I disagree and in many ways I am confused. go tasteless!
edit: upon posting i realized that i should have condensed this to one post. and now here we are. O_O

Out of Bisu, Jaedong, Flash and Stork, the fact that Stork got a date with jiyoo, I would say he is the true winner.

There is no equal.
Tastosis are really good at generating hype. They always sound really hyped up. But there is so little "meat" behind that hype. It becomes painfully obvious that they dont actually know much of the current state of the game.
Sayle always seemed like he actually knew what he was talking about and when he didnt he had a chat full of players who would fill him in. He didnt pretend to know everything; he was eager to learn together with the viewers as the games unfolded.
Really great casts.

You clearly have no idea and your opinion will rightfully be ignored. Have a nice day.
