I'd say this debate can be settled by pointing out that Tasteless claimed with absolute certainty in the last live stream that the protoss shield upgrade is for faster regeneration of shields, not for defense points. A protoss player who doesn't know such an important fact about his race, while claiming on a live stream to know it with certainty, is no authority on complex strategies.
I like Tasteless and he often provides insightful commentary, but he's made similar mistakes before. He also once claimed on a live stream that there would be an alert when a drone gets one-hit-killed by a DT. This is another basic mistake that an expert in BW should never make.
I'm not condemning Tasteless with this, just saying he's a flawed human being, just like all of us. We all make mistakes, and generally speaking that's completely fine. We're a community of gamers, not scientists.
If you want to do the right thing, 80% of your job is done if you don't do the wrong thing.

well to be fair, I believe that is how the shield upgrade works in SC2. And he casts SC2 full time as well, so yeah, just a brain fart. He was pretty unsure of himself right after he said it too. There's been times where Artosis will ask about a pretty obscure BW unit interaction or factoid and Tasteless was right on point with the answer, too, so it goes both ways

I never said they weren't smart guys or knowledgeable, quite the contrary, but they are in no way the final answer on broodwar.

Remember, this started with some guy thinking "because tasteless said it and I believed it" your wrong.

I'll put it like this... when Artosis correctly called the transition from 973 into 9734, I was impresssed.
Rarely does the current current meta get brought up on stream.

I am not upset Tasteless was wrong. Don't care. But he also doesn't get to be used as a defacto source on bw.

Especially by somebody who has a handicap preventing them from settling a discussion as a player, rather then as a blaise troll.

They announced on the stream it was next weekend, but when I checked TL calendar before that it was an extra week away for some reason. Think it is/was wrong on the calendar.

On Stream they said next week and 1 week from today at different points.

Also think they said 2 hrs earlier but dont rely on that.

Edit- one week from rain v action NOT one week from this post.

While i dig Action's late game plague-lurker-ling swarm, I'd like his zerg progamer's licenses be recalled for not microing his hydras under storm. This makes me sick. Hydras are beautiful and do not deserve such alien animal cruelty.

Well this is a blatant fact that shows that tasteless aint playing or have been playing for a long time and even if i enjoy Tastosis casting i just feel that he need to "know" more
Artosis on the other hand knows his shit and is imo the best caster bw has

Honestly, I feel Tasteless is better the worse the game is. I find him charming and clever. I think he does a great job using fresh language to describe things rather then just quote reel.

Artosis going to Korea has been the most influential action ever taken on behalf of foreign bw.

From his time at Estro until now he had contributed more then anyone else to this scene.

I really wish we got the Artosis that sc2 gets. His breakdowns and indepth stuff are fantastic. Rotterdam and Maynarde are my favorite casters in that sport but Artosis is the goat of sc2 analysis. Even when I disagree with his conclusion, the journey is alway educational.

Watched him and rapid do Solar v Cure yesterday. I got so jealous bw doesn't have that. Day9 was our guy who did that and we can't afford him 8)

Strawman much?

Yeesh, you sound like you really hate your life. You don't need to wildly stretch the truth in order to make yourself look better.

Do you live in bumfuck nowhere or something? What is wrong with you? I hate to break it to you, but BW outside of Korea is completely irrelevant. Matter of fact, BW outside of the top 30 players in the world is all but completely irrelevant. Being a mediocre foreign player in a stale scene in a 20-year-old game doesn't give you any authority.

Seriously dude, calm down. You are not that brolic. Don't say anything online you wouldn't say to a man's face. Real talk.

For the record, I live in beautiful sunny Southern California, have a lovely life with a bright future, and believe you must be below the age of 25. If not, you need to grow up, and fast. I would bet money you would never talk this way to me, or anyone else, in real life. So chill out.
