I have been browsing the internet for some time now trying to find footage and replays of Tasteless playing BW and/or SC2. The only ones I seem to be able to find are the showmatches he played against Day9 some time ago.

He never streams and I haven't really seen too much of his play apart from those showmatches mentioned above. Does anybody have any replays of him from BW/SC2?

I don't think he plays anymore. I know that much.
Edit: also look up Day9 vs Tasteless. They played each other in the beta.

What? lol.

He sometimes comments on builds he has tried on the ladder recently or strategies he has tried to use, but I've never really seen him play. Just thought it would be interesting to watch a few replays, even from BW.

Unfortunately this is the only series i know where tasteless plays


He probably plays a lot still, last time i heard he was masters in KR, I guess he’s like day 9 and doesn’t want to put his replays out there for the community to criticise

That's unfortunate. I really enjoy watching casters pay, even if they aren't all that amazing.

How about from BW?

He used to have BW replays up on his website around the time of the Star Invitational and the Averatec-Intel Classic season 1. I watched one on Python and he rushed arbiters against a T and should have gotten steamrolled from having so few units but didn't.

it was http://www.tastelessgaming.com/ but it's gone now

I still want to see the Tasteless Hour, where he just snipes Artosis over and over on smurf accounts. Pretty sure it would be hysterical.

Maybe Day9 and Tasteless should do a rematch in the HotS beta?

I would pay to watch that.

I had thought it would be pretty neat if somebody held a caster tournament featuring the likes of Tasteless, Artosis, Day9, Wolf, Khaldor, Apollo, djWheat etc., duking it out to see who is the king of the casters!

Now I don't remember who it was, but around a year ago there was some old school Starcraft player that was casting a ton of old replays. He did them at certain times and took requests- there were some from Day9's old tag Striderdoom and I can't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure Tasteless replays were some of the ones that got casted. I'm sure someone could hunt up those old threads. Presumably they were saved in vod form.

Where did you get this from? I want direct sources with proof.

My feeling as well. I'm very sceptical of casters claiming to be of a certain playing level without being willing to show it; especially when their casting makes you doubt that because of the knowledge they show with their casts.

Above anything else Day9's claim to have 3 seperate accounts in Grand Master seems to be fishy: where the hell would he get the time from? I remember Apollo stating in his Teamliquid MLG Arena interview that he was trying to make GrandMaster but that he just lacks the time. From a raw talent level I'd set the same at the same level (if nto Apollo higher, him being a WCG Champion in another RTS Title) but if he lacks the time to get even one account in GM, how can another caster find the time to get three accounts there?

Long ago on his twitter, Tasteless gave out a few replay packs for SC2. I remember watching his TvT on xel naga caverns along with a TvT game on steppes of war. Just look in his past tweets.

i don't think he ever said he has 3 separate accounts in gm. if i remember right there was talk in some show most likely sotg or something that could he do get in to gm with every race and he said he thinks he could and people took that as it he has. but can't be sure on that. i don't think he himself has ever said that he has 3 accounts in gm

I believe his words were something along the lines that he hitted GM but that there is a difference between someone who has hit GM a GM player. It was during a SotG with users question.

I'd doubt that the level of competition in the CNC3 scene ever matched the NA SC:BW scene. The game was less mechanically challenging and hadn't been out for long so it didn't develop as complex a metagame.

Also, Day[9] has repeatedly said that he in part makes the dailies to review and think about theory.

I think he just says that so people think he plays. It's very obvious if you actually pay attention to what he says that he does not play the game though.

Edit: I know he played during the beta, I'm just saying you can tell he hasn't played the game in a long long time.

Tasteless is like Day9 in the sense that they don't play the game that much. Or play it at a low level.

There is no footage of actual games from both those casters in 2 years for a reason.

I remember Apollo struggling at D+ for awhile, back when he first got into Brood War as the champion of another RTS :p.

Only games I can recall are his HDH invitational games and Stars Wars games vs China/Korea.

Edit: And as for brood war, he participated in one of the two BW TSL's and replay packs are usually released for those. He didn't play BW too actively back then though but still made around B-/B during the TSL season.

He keeps all that on the down-low, I doubt that he would get much peace were his ID made public tbh, lol

He definitely plays, though. He LOVES this game, it's a life passion. Do you honestly think he wouldn't play?

Yeah, NA championship in 2007... he's not korean so obviously he hasn't won a grand finals in BW...

On topic, I would think tasteless plays, probably not a ton, and he's probably only masters but he probably still plays.

I really don't know why this hasn't happened yet. Schedules smedules, this would actually be really entertaining and totally worth making time for.

Painuser said on ITG that Tasteless barely plays anymore and really doesn't like his job or SC2. You can probably dig up footage of him playing street fighter though.

I don't think he plays anymore, in the earlier seasons he seemed to have some insight and knowledge about the game and you could tell he played protoss on ladder a decent amount of the time. Recently it seems he has never played, he no longer has insight about the game aside from the few things he says every game "OHH this factory float is so high level". Its not really a big deal considering the type of caster he is, personally I don't like it but other people do. If you look at his post about how it was saying SC2 is way easier than BW and have listened to him and have some basic intuition I think you can see he doesn't really have the passion for SC2.

I bet Apollo would win that, with Artosis second. Unless Tasteless is secretly really good at this game.

Rotti and MrBitter are pretty good too ~ But yea no way a tournament like that would happen unless someone actually threw a bunch of cash at it. These guys are traveling to huge tournaments every week. Even if they wanted to waste time on a tournament like that, it wouldn't be possible.

Where did you get this from? I want direct sources with proof.

My feeling as well. I'm very sceptical of casters claiming to be of a certain playing level without being willing to show it; especially when their casting makes you doubt that because of the knowledge they show with their casts.

Above anything else Day9's claim to have 3 seperate accounts in Grand Master seems to be fishy: where the hell would he get the time from? I remember Apollo stating in his Teamliquid MLG Arena interview that he was trying to make GrandMaster but that he just lacks the time. From a raw talent level I'd set the same at the same level (if nto Apollo higher, him being a WCG Champion in another RTS Title) but if he lacks the time to get even one account in GM, how can another caster find the time to get three accounts there?


Day 9 doesn't keep 3 accounts in grandmasters at all times. He simply has had an account of each race in Grandmasters at some time (basically a direct quote from a day 9 daily)

As far as casters touting their play and not being willing to show it.
I've not seen one caster brag about their ability in the way you make it seem. Casters simply make an off-hand comment about the truth (their ladder ranking). Tasteless plays SC2 because he likes to, not because he cares what anyone thinks of his ranking. Some casters should be embarrassed about their rankings but tasteless doesn't need to be, and even if he had reason to be embarrassed, he never asked for a spotlight on his play, he never claimed he was anything special.

Anyway, I think you're just trying to stir something up. You really have no reason to doubt casters one way or another. They are there to enhance the games, not to play the games.
As I've said, I don't see casters claiming much about their play, typically when they comment it's to say how bad they really are.

I'm a bit SKEPTICAL of people who can't even SEPARATE real words from well groupings of letters that aren't words...

I bet whoever had played with the most dedication in the past month would win. And I would bet that most of the time that would be Artosis.

Casters play... pros comment. This idea is pure gold.

Imagine DjWheat vs JP with someone like Catz and Axslav casting... just to be random... talk about turning the tables.

Pure gold.

Day9 Was a pan American Champion and WCG national Champion In BW, its not like hes lacking the tools. He was hailed before he went slightly inactive as one of the best foreigners in the world, right along with Ret, Idra and NonY. Raw Talent is not an issue, and hes certainly more skilled then Apollo considering how much more mechanically challenging BW was in comparison to CnC3.
Also he never said he maintained 3 accounts in GM, he merely said he hit GM with three different accounts which for a top BW player is not incredibly hard.

A caster clash tourny would be sooooo awesome and for them being busy. Drag it out for a few weeks and just dont play the games live and it'll be fine. Noone can be that busy that they cant get the time for a few BO3s.
I doubt it'll happend since I doubt the casters want to do it. Maybe a showmatch could be sorted.

Also he hit GM on the NA server, and not to hate on NA scene but that server is alot easier than Europe, therefore I can see why Apollo never did. Also Day9 is probably just a better rts player.

Offtopic, how cool would it be if he tried to be semi pro and compete in small online cups (Day9 but that could apply to any caster for that matter)

They asked Rotterdam on his stream who he thought was the best caster playing SC2 at the moment and he said himself (not including casters who are players first obv i.e. InControl). They also asked about Apollo and he mentioned that MrBitter had a higher point total at the end of the season on EU ladder. I also believe he said that Bitter was next best after him but I could be wrong.

I don't think Rotti was working with much outside of here-say, but I imagine he has more insight into the other casters skill levels than we do.

As far as Tasteless goes, I honestly don't care about whether or not he maintains a high level of play in SC2. Him, DjWheat, TB, etc are all PURE casters at this point in time. They don't make their money analyzing players at the highest level, they are there too fill space with their banter that most love. That aside, I am sure Tasteless would be masters league if he was/is playing ladder.

Why do so many people here feel the need to jump to conclusions on things they have absolutely no information about? Wahhh tasteless lost his passion, tasteless doesn't play anymore, and they couldn't possibly be any more uninformed on the matter.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Number of Plott brothers who promised to stream their ladder: 2
Number of Plott brothers who did: 0

Personally, I don't think he has even had SC2 installed for the longest time. I still wish all the best for him, and while he may indeed never regain his passion, there is no question he has had a net positive impact on the scene.

Believe it or not, but most casters aren't in Masters or GM. Too be honest, those casters tend to be my favorite as they know how to fill space and keep it entertaining. I know, I am weird. It is very rare that you find a caster that plays at a high level and, at the same time, keeps the viewers entertained with some good dialogue.

It's hard to say if Tasteless still plays. I remember Artosis streaming one night over this past winter and someone asked him during his Q/A sesh on Twitter is Tasteless is still an active player, and Artosis says he still plays whenever he has time. I remember him saying it's kind of like Artosis where he goes a while without playing due to craziness in schedule then binges for a bit.

Tasteless also tossed out a random comment during his cast with Wolf last week, along the lines of "Do you think it's worth putting down the pylon to block the hatchery?" *answer* "Yeah, I do it any time I can sneak my probe in before the hatchery gets there, I always feel more in control of the game when I can do that."

Not sure if it's him trying to make conversation or real, but it lends me to believe he still ladders sometimes.

anything about him hating the game is made the fuck up. he talks about laddering all the time, it's not remotely strange that we don't get to see him doing this. he isn't a pro player and when you consider the shit that artosis or incontrol take for their play I wouldn't stream in his position either.

if people seriously think he's lying to cover "his brand" when he talks about fucking around on ladder and trying new builds that's amazing.

dude clearly loves videiogames, esports, gom, sc2, etc. just watch him cast for 20 hours from last week and tell me that dude is miserable.

This is true. He usually just says the basic stuff then leads any conversation with high level play to Artosis. And like you said, when he tries he is wrong alot.

Tasteless makes comments in GSL about how he plays and tries out strategies, so I believe that. Hopefully some time he streams his play, but I don't blame him for not doing so.

Knowing how often he talks about cool cheese strategies and his BW history I am sure his stream would be mostly all-ins that would get him a lot of flack. Artosis plays pretty standard protoss at high masters KR level and he still gets tons of shit from viewers (bad macro or whatever they can attack him for).

The tasteless lost his passion statements have been gone on since the open seasons ended. If he hasn't brought it up before he won't bring it up now.

The voice of reason<3. The reason I was so dismayed and wanted more discussion(and derailed the thread) is because I legitly feel like Tastosis is impressed or excited when they cast SC2, even if Artosis sits around dropping knowledge bombs more than tasteless. I was afraid I would go watch GSL with tasteless casting and feel his insincerity. But yeah, he probably enjoys his life, it doesn't really matter the extent, as long as he's not just in it for the money.

At the same time, my search through teamliquid with "Tasteless lost his passion" came up with:

Tasteless was who came to mind. Seeing as they were talking about premier/big bucks casters(tb, day9, tastosis). I wouldn't really say TB is just in it for the money...he hates playing the game but to me it seems like he quite enjoys casting it.

Gah, it's heartwrenching. As long as I enjoy the game, right? I don't even play, I just like watching GSL, MLG, Dreamhack, the like. Maybe an occasional Korean weekly or NASL. Love IPL when I have time. But what if I just treat Starcraft like TV(I never watch TV, just watch starcraft and read TL), and I've lost my passion as a fan? I hate this topic.

Yeah.....yeah. You're right. As long as it's entertaining, that's the only reason I should be watching.

I think you are wrong here. He loves/loved Brood War and that game was his life passion. The only reason he cast SC2 is because GOM went to SC2 right away and with all the hype and the money in the foreign scene he just rides it out. Because let's be serious here, his only value is in SC2 right now because of the "Tastosis, the casting archon" and his legacy from Brood War. Didn't he quit college to cast BW in Korea? What else is he gonna do if not sc2?

And no matter how much Tasteless, Artosis and other people like to joke about "Tasteless lost his passion!!!" you can clearly see it's true. His sc2 casting is so fucking bad compared to BW that it isn't even funny. If he would really have a passion for sc2 and play it on a regular basis I would be very very shocked tbh. But this we will never know, unless he have the balls to be honest enough on a show like "real talk with JP". But answering a question like this would probably hurt his brand if it wasn't positive-SC2 so.. hm yeah.


He is already confirmed for RT with JP.

People really need to stop being so negative.

Do you think this is a product of his age and experience? Or the game itself? It's entirely possible that his perspective on life has changed and he's not the limber 20 year old he once was.

I'll be watching for that ep eagerly.

People on TL are really negative. It seems the best way to get your opinion heard and responded to is to say with a knife edge attached, either through condescendingness or calling someone of the opposite opinion unsmart. I probably let the rest of the people in this thread get to me. I think it may actually be suspicious if Tasteless magically cast the exact same way he cast years and years ago, but I reserve judgement, and will be reading this thread attentively.

Does Tasteless even play SC2 anymore? There were rumblings a few months ago that Tasteless was playing himself into shape so he could stream 1v1s, but nothing ever came of it. I want to say it was Hwanni who is responsible for this rumor, but I could be mistaken. It's a shame, because I never saw Day or Tasteless play BW in their prime as I was into competitive CS at the time, and now I'm being deprived of seeing them compete in SC2. I enjoy their casting, but it would be fun to see them compete too, even if it was just as amateurs. I don't think they could damage their brands at this point, they are too well-established.

Could you be more specific? Seeing as you have first-hand knowledge of the situation and all, please enlighten us.

its a common prank call on ITG where the caller calls in and claims that tasteless is a heroin addict.

I still want to see the Tasteless Hour, where he just snipes Artosis over and over on smurf accounts. Pretty sure it would be hysterical.

I sense that this may be Lulz-tastic

A few months back when Artosis was doing the Artosis Hour he said on stream something along the lines of 'Tasteless wants to stream, he's been practicing a bunch to get ready for it.' Although it never happened, I'd be shocked if someone with the passion for the game like his wasn't playing a few games a day.
