I think he is great and lot of other people think so too. Or do you think its an accident that he is working as a professional commentator for 10 years?

100% agreed, that one was a really tough watch..

So what if lots of other people think so. Maybe in the past when commentator standards were lax and korean translators low, but nowadays they just sound bored and stick to their routine of talking about poptarts and pokemon and how bros they are even when there is plenty happening on the screen. Everytime something happens outside completely normal standard game it's "scrappy" and they stop talking about strategy. I gave up watching them after they started their schtick of mocking random twitter posts and watched korean streams and never looked back.

I care about Tastosis bringing back old and new people into watching starcraft. Elitism is not going to work if we want more people getting into BW. The numbers speak for themselves. Back when we had community casters as an alternative to Tastosis in ASL, there was a lot more watching Tastosis. And i love our community caster from both past and present, thats not the point. The point is that i want this game to attract interest from more than a few hundred people

What is elitism is blind commentator fanboyism that stops all the other potential English speaking commentators who would love the chance to commentate for the love of the game.

On March 22 2020 20:35 tanngard wrote:

The numbers peak for themselves. What more do i need to tell you? And yeah, calling everyone that likes tastosis and contributes to those numbers, as blind fanboys, seems pretty elitist.

On March 22 2020 20:37 Dangermousecatdog wrote:

And that's the problem. People can have personal opinions about commentary. But apparently you feel the need to bring up numbers, when there isn't really any alternative English casters. Let personal opinions be personal opinions, not some thing where you think the other guy is wrong. Especially when doing stupid tastosis stuff like mocking random reddit posts or endless 90s nostalgia in the middle of exciting, interesting action is hardly going to bring in new viewers.

I stand corrected. Wow. Brain defeats Soulkey in a 26-minute macro game. What the fuck?!

My god, what a game. Brain wins out despite seemingly incapable of defending his own expansions. So many dead drones from storms and DT. Times like these I wish workers killed could be shown.

Soulkey forgot how op DT’s are lmaooo

Also I did not see much obs sniping compared to other zergs. Soulkey lost an insane amount of lurkers that barely did anything.

Uh, what exactly are you talking about? He pretty much defended all his expansions that game?

Only at the end when he finally remembered to make cannons with a source of splash damage. Until then he was relying on his army and harrass. I wonder what Need Money lmao will do now that he is out of ASL.

Yeah we understood a while ago that you wont believe it, thing is he wasnt even a clear underdog against sk.

Yes, I agree. I miswrote. I could had written what I meant better, that he didn't set up his defences properly. For a really long time he was at the mercy of wherever his own units were. It was just chance really that his nexus survived on 20hp and suchlike.

Argh a sad end to Brain after his brilliant display against Soulkey.

SoulKey hasn't been doing so hot in online matches from what I remember, his old form doesn't mean he is playing that well right now after returning from the military...

On March 22 2020 22:03 Miragee wrote:


Yeah ok but I mean, defending with your army is defending as well. And as long as he was on 4 bases, with the way the bases were set up, I think it was a legit way of playing.

Good games today!

I have to agree with the comments that cast today and the last few days have been pretty bad. I love Tastosis but it seems they really went overboard with the "laughing" and saying silly things (which in a "correct" amount is needed!). They should find the equilibrium. But it's not promising.
Also Artosis has been "mocking" protoss way too much in ASL casts in my opinion, it is not really professional. He can do it on his stream (it used to be funny, but now it is basically the only thing it's about and not really funny in this quantity so I stopped watching him) but to do it this much during ASL (not especially today, but last 2-4 days) is really bad in my opinion I don't care what race it's about, it is just silly.

I did not remember Tasteless and Artosis being this bad, but all they do is yell and make noises.

Uff... that was so hard to watch. Have not watched BW in a while and randomly turned in for the the Brain/Soulkey game 3 (great game btw) and the casting of midgame and endgame was basically just 10-15 minutes of scream laughing ("AAHAHAHHAHAHHA THIS IS SO FUNNY"). Turned off after the game because that shit is just unbearable.

AGREE 100 % !

I prefer to watch korean stream even if I don't undestand a single word!

It's quite ironic that people are turned off by Tastosis going overboard when the korean casters have been going overboard for the past 20 years. Anyways, I personally don't care much. I listen to Tastosis for the banter not any game analysis. Obviously they have gotten quite a bit better since they originally came back to cast BW again but yeah, there are people with a lot more knowledge. As long as the observer is good, I can watch the game just fine and enjoy the banter at the same time.

I dont know Korean, so I dont know what they crazy over, but it always seems to me they go overboard on the game, not on their own inside jokes. I also don't know if all games are like that or just the one I randonly turned into. It wasnt that funny and they acted like the Big Bang Theory crowd if it was on shrooms.

I doubt it. Love the map and all of the new mechanics that it makes people consider, but I think there's definite imbalance, and at least right now, it's a forced style that I don't think many people want to play. People still too comfortable with Circuit Breaker type maps. Reminds me of Troy in a way. Troy was a weird ass map that always resulted in crazy games.

Brain had some sick games today. He's looking scary.

I think Brain played impressive and really took on the challenge of high caliber players. That being said, Action practically toyed with him in all the games they played, including the first one. The casters even nailed the fact that Action is always happy to play a long game and never let it get out of his control. I am now unsure if Brain is just at the same average level of PvZ as Snow and Rain, or if Action just has the best PvZ out of the current zergs. In the interview, Action said they played a lot too, but I still don't think that takes away the strong ways in which he won his games.
