tastosis in broodwar was actually so good dunno
not so much in sc2 tho

Jokes aside, I really do think it became a job rather than a passion project and they don't really care much about SC2 compared to BW, but they can't just leave the job because it works for them.

well its either that or i became a lot more perceptive between brood war and sc2 one of the two

I didn't watch a lot of BW. But they didn't even have supply counters, correct? Like people literally knew nothing beyond watch units could be seen on the screen.

That was half the beauty of BW casting, information wasn't so easily accessed and not every tournament had an overlay that displayed resources and supply so you had to actually pay attention to the game and be constantly active as casters and observers to get the full picture. If they didn't have the overlays it made it a lot more fun when you didn't know how behind a player was so it was appropriate to hype it up because there was uncertainty if the player was really behind or equal. In SC2 you can clearly see 50 supply vs 90 so the 50 supply guy is fucked.

Its is one of the many reasons why I stopped watching except for specific players. But the community will never let them turn it off. Its why dota is more exciting, because there are more unknowns.

eventually we got the unit counting station. but for a while, yeah.

brood war is still amazing to watch..on vanilla TL there's a 24/7 BW vod stream and occasionally i will watch it before i go to bed. gotta love it.

Medry's BW stream is great and I still come by to watch SSL or Terror's TEMPTS league.

like how do you lane against a sniper when he has 3 charges of a really strong slow that gives unrestricted flying vision.

answer: you don't and hope you break even without feeding a kill when their support roams

It's just because a lot of people hype him up. It's kinda like a new Tobi.

Not really, people actually dislike him. You just don't feel the need to express something like that against someone like Sheever or Maut that often. People just can't easily understand why other people enjoy things they dislike.

artosis casting was god tier because he was able to convince people to believe in his "strategic insight" while being wrong 70% of the time. The curse is just a manifestation of his actual insight in the real world and his ability to understand the game as opposed to anything else.

The closest thing to that in Dota2 would be like something Draskyl who still believes that the dota he casts works the same way as his 5k pubs (though it may well be true looking at the teams going to this dreamleague)
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

honestly for the lack of game sense, he does seem to know a majority of the spells and he can do a heck of a play by play when there's a lot going on. and ofc he has a nice voice to listen to.

that said, he could stand to play the game a little more so he doesn't sound retarded when he tries to reason out why something went the way it did.

10x better than zyori though, i will say that.
