sure he's entertaining as hell but his actual knowledge of the game is nothing compared to Artosis' I wouldnt be so sure of that, I doubt he is a retarded macro bot, it should take quite a lot of knowledge to reach A- with Protoss on icc dont you think? Probably not as much knowledge as Artosis, but knowledge nevertheless, but he doesnt display it much in casting, maybe because he thinks the stuff is quite obvious? Idk. I mean his actual knowledge which he casts. I don't know about what he knows/says when he's not casting, but when he casts, he really doesn't show it. Who cares, he's highly entertaining and much for fun to watch than just about any caster I could ever come up with. The vast majority of people out there dont care if he knows the ins and outs of every single aspect of the game. The whole point of e-sports is entertainment, only a few elite nit picky pros cares if they get everything absolutely right. I've learned over the last couple months that people care more about the basics and understanding whats going on rather than having an extreme knowledge of everything in the game.
I don't deny that he's very entertaining, and he's really one of the very few people who can hype up games well. It's just that he is sometimes misinformed of things that are quite obvious to people who have followed SC for some time, and it just leaves a bad impression.

That Korean SubTitled cast was really interesting though, it was like reading Starcraft encyclopedias about the game being played. Though I'm sure comparing Korean casting to foreign casting is about the same as the Gaming itself... just different worlds really.

I can respect that and see that point of view. I will just say that if theres anyone that should be the face of SC2 e-sports it should be artosis and tasteless. Just think of how many awful alternative choices there are out there. Just my opinion

Definitely those two. I can't see Tasteless or Artosis alone running the whole show.

I assume they are just going to have to crack jokes mostly. Is there any metagaming in a dancing game?

Can't wait for the VODs to be posted on youtube. This has been the most anticipated playday for me; as it has been for many, I guess.
