I feel the only reason K9 gave the arcon a run of their money was that tastelesses voice was horrible day 2 and on.

that being said K9 was ALOT more entertaining then i thought they would be. and are probably my second favorite casting duo

The little fanboy in me wanted to vote for Tastosis however I was so thoroughly impressed by Husky this weekend and how well he worked together with Day[9] that I had to vote for them so I guess at the moment I like k[9] better.

K9
husky does this thing where he soft lobs questions about the game at hand and day just ballparks it almost every time. Husky's respect for Day just shines and it auto cuts off the weird husky at home stuff.
not my most popular opinion but i can't stand tasteless's influence on artosis - i can't stand the nerd-chic exclusivist jokes that just waste time - i can't stand the constant off topic banter - i can't stand that their general disregard for women that leads my girlfriend to become actually angry while i'm trying to watch mlg and make dinner- and not even lastly but definitely in this mlg mostly - you get paid by gomtv and gsl to hype the gsl on the gsl on gomtv when you are at work at gomtv for the gsl- you spend all day bming players and the gsl then come to mlg where you are getting paid at a professional position and rate to promote their product, and complain about how tired you are to thousands of people and then tell them they should stop watching mlg right now and go watch gsl replays instead. If you did that sportscasting for the NFL you'd never work again. It's unprofessional and frankly embarrassing when I try to bring this starcraft thing to the people in my life that don't understand I can't trust them to respect it or me. I can't put my mom in room with those 2. that said they're some of the hardest working goofballs in the world and their commitment to the game is never never in question- there's no hate I just want to see sc2 as glossy and pro as it can get-more gloss - more sponsers - more prizes - more players - more games

Honestly, I prefered Husky and Day9 - there is a clear reason:

I'm getting more and more annoyed by how.....wrong....Tastosis sometimes are. In the Day9/Husky combo, Husky did the energetic play-by-play and Day9 did the spot-on analysis (as usual) . Tastosis mostly did fine, but ever since Artosis switched to protoss I feel that the qualitiy of his analytical input has been decreasing. And I don't know if Tasteless even plays the game or watches replays any more. At the moment, Husky I feel has a better gameknowledge than him.

I really wished Tastosis would spend more time watching reps or talking to players to learn more about the current strategies to give more in debth analysis of what is going on. I hope this doesn't sound like I'm hating, I tried to express it as somewhat constructive criticism.

best casting moment of mlg was when tastosis were back together after jp jumped in for a game and there were some accusations of 'cheating on' each other

then everyone fake-cried and hugged

I like both rather equally but as far as the last MLG went, Day9&H certainly outdid T&A.

The biggest problem I have with Tastless and Artosis tho, is them quite often being biased towards one of the players (and no, I don't mean simply pointing out someone's superior skill).

I personally think tastosis don't sound like 'real' casters, in the sense that they dont give enough play by play commentary and they don't make it sound exciting. Half the time they pause to think, talk slowly, or like 2 minutes before the end of the game they repeatedly insist on one player's ultimate demise by saying 'player A is soooo dead, he is just SO dead'. I still like them, but I like Husky/day9 more

I like all the casters MLG had this weekend, and Husky have really improved, he's great to listen to nowadays. Great job, keep it up!

I thought Husky and Day9 Did an amazing job, I love both of them now. Can't we live in a world with two casting archons?

the archon is always awesome, but I prefer Day[9] and djWheat personally, I'm not a huge fan of Husky, though I think he did a fine job this weekend.

Husky shouldn't be allowed to cast even on YouTube let alone MLG. His random screams are so annoying. Apart from that this was a pretty good tournament.

Tastetosis are just so humurous and laid back. I enjoy them a lot because I know they have amazing insight on the game and have a long relationship with each other. It brings great synergy on their part.

Although, Husky and Day9 kept up the enthusiasm a lot. They found their little niches but they were really complimenting each other.

It's the reason we call them by their individual handles and we call tasteless and artosis the casting archon. Husky and Day9 are good caster, but The Casting Archon is just that, the incredulous monster we've hyped up which never fails to meet our expectations. Good casting all around.

It is the Archon without a doubt for me.Tasteless and Artosis are just perfect for casting Starcraft II games. GSL wouldn't be the same without them.

I like Day[9] as well, but not as a caster. I enjoy his educational dailies a lot and try to watch all of them, especially those who are made for my race. I basically learned everything I needed to know about Starcraft II from him. But as a caster he cannot beat the Archon.

Husky... well... just doesn't work for me.

Usually I would say Tasteosis but this time Artosis annoyed me a bit cause of his kinda biased commentary

I agree, I actually watched husky/day9 when I could. I know I will get hate mail but artosis rubs me the wrong way. Something about his voice gets to me after a while. I think it comes from how much football I watch; husky/day9 are more like good football announcers. I don't even have to be watching and i know what is going on and i feel the excitement. With artosis I have to watch and it felt like he missed a good bit at MLG. I was constantly (maybe I remember it worse than it was) wishing he would move the screen to the secondary action. Instead, they hung over the main engagement way after it was over and then simply mention we missed whatever drop/warp-in had occurred.
