I dont really get what you guys complain about ? You are unhappy Tastosis is making money from casting ASL ? is that the issue here ?

To be clear, I wasn't complaining. I find Tastosis hilarious.

I was offering a potential explanation that was not "they lost their passion / they're forcing it."

You all are so fucking ungrateful

No matter whether you are team Tastosis or Team Scan Nyoken, it is absolutely disgusting seeing you all complain about either group providing us great content.

If you BW elitists want more insight, then go enjoy Scan and Nyoken. They are great. If you want comedy and something you can enjoy with your whole family who may not been into BW like the hard-core fan base but love their chemistry then watch Tastosis. You don't have to bash either side for liking something. Its called a fucking opinion

I'm done reading this thread I really really hope Scan nyoken or tastosis all don't read this thread it's disgraceful

Having critique isn't being ungrateful. I doubt anyone here is.

I posted a rant much like you're doing.

I don't really see people bashing either duo's fanbase.
And yes, both caster duos are great in their own way.

Why wouldn't they read it? They could get some perspective from it or just have a good chuckle.

Kinda ironic how this LR thread keeps getting bumped on an off-topic discussion I already apologized for 6 days ago.

Tastosis have been joking around a lot more and trimming down on the analysis, this has been true for years. That's not bashing them, that's a factual observation. It's also a factual observation that Tasteless' understanding of the game has been less accurate and sometimes out-of-date since he came back to BW, even going so far as to forget or mix up terminology. Artosis' theoretical analysis has been better overall, but subjectively speaking I'd say it's been stagnant. Both of them have been more focused on commenting around the game rather than on the game compared to the old days.
It's completely ok for people to either like or dislike all or any of that, and if they have criticism they should voice it.

I'm starting to prefer Scan/Nyoken because I listen to BW commentary not for the jokes (although I think lighthearted fun being sprinkled in is a plus) but mainly for the theoretical analysis. The game is interesting enough without insightful commentary, but I think it makes it just so much better when things get pointed out during the game by experienced players that I wouldn't have noticed by myself. I'm missing that from Tastosis, because they don't seem to have improved on their insights lately. The game at the top level contains many detailed aspects that I don't notice, and the players also have different approaches that I can't all keep track off. That's why I want to be fed additional information by the commentators, with some luck it's things that I've missed.

This. I'm grateful for both content in these post-apocalyptic days of brood war but I still think it's ok to express some criticism.

What's disgusting is your portrayal of encouraging and enjoying their Nyoken's and Scan's cast instead of your own favourite as bashing.

Just catching up on this thread and I had to respond after seeing your post, your rant could not have been more wrong. Firstly no one in the BW community is in it for money. Secondly it is no surprise they didn't cover the BW scene when SC2 was around because their employer literally switched games and even most BW pros switched over during that period. Thirdly, they have to sustain their living in Korea somehow, they are doing this cast based on love for the game but you might as well get something back for doing it and looking by their support received, the community is more than happy to do so. Lastly Tastosis (especially Artosis) is doing more for the BW foreign scene through his stream than anyone has over the past 2 years.

Anyway hope you get more background information on this. We should just be happy BW is alive and well in 2021!

If my rant could not have been more wrong how come multiple people agree with me instead of all being against me?

I never faulted Tastosis for their career choices and of course money plays an important role, it's hard to sustain a life on just passion lol.

If anyone did A LOT for the foreign BW scene over the past 2 years it would be Mr. Bombastic and his comrades and also TL's BW staff, most particularly BLinD-RawR. (I'd love to see more people pay their respects to this amazing guy btw.)

It's clear we have a different perspective, but that's not by lack of background information on my end.

Let’s get back on topic. If you guys want to discuss Tastosis vs. Scan/Nyoken, then please create some kind of designated casters’ feedback thread or something.

So all in all Mini did not change big picture, Protoss as a race is struggling heavily online (except Bisu) and Zerg is overall strongest with current league mappool.

I love how, as soon as the “who’s the best English-speaking BW casting team” debate gets shut down, you go and bring up the state of PvZ. Props to you, my friend. May the thread prosper.

I've watched this series thrice. My belief is that Mini basically out-thought himself and lost confidence. Namely, he had these critical, intensely-calculated timing windows he exploited against Queen, then assumed Larva would adapt to it and rolled out some head-scratchers. "I know this, but I know that YOU know that I know that if I open with this..."

He was very emotional with the result of each game, so much more than Larva. It was not the un-shakable mini we saw versus Queen, who tilted his head a few time after a botched cannon rush into rolling in the semifinals. And then the decision to proxy-gate in game seven... With everything on the line, all your PvZ prowess, you go for that?

Props to Larva for not tilting when the going got tough, versus both Rush and Mini.

Mini has always been a super emotional player though. I guess not so much when he's rolling a big name like Queen, lol, but it's hardly like he was uniquely emotional in the final. You probably weren't saying that anyway, but I think it's good to clarify the context.

hmm interesting point. That's the downside his tricky playstyle i guess. Every time you do a trick you expose yourself

He may make overt displays of tiltedness on camera, but I have faith in Mini. If this era of BW has shown us anything, it's that even players previously considered perennial chokers can build the mental fortitude needed to become a champion. Hell, Mini's already come super close so many times now, and that's despite being only 27 years old with military service done. It'd be weird if he didn't win a title in the next couple of years, especially with Flash gone. + Show Spoiler +
Either that or we got a resurrected Kong line lolz

This is also a good point. Getting very emotional after losses doesn't necessarily mean you're not operating at 100% in the next game, that's a bit of an assumption.
