After casting the Razer TSL in 2008, Artosis moved to Korea and now does interviews and coverage for IEG, the media giant that sponsors the eSTRO professional gaming team. Artosis joined Tasteless to cast Blizzcon 2008 and 2009, as well as the WCG Grand Final this year. Artosis is known as "The Wikipedia of StarCraft" for his comprehensive knowledge of the game.
Nick "Tasteless" Plott is regarded by many as the top English professional StarCraft commentator. Tasteless began his career with WCG USA Finals in 2005, and casted several other live events throughout the United States. In 2008, he became the first English-only caster to move to Korea, covering all seasons of GomTV's TG-Intel Classic and the WCG Grand Finals from 2005 to this year. Tasteless also casted many events for Blizzard, including their World Wide Invitational (since 2006) and Blizzcon (since 2007). Tasteless's nickname is the "Storm Observer" for his energy, humor, and enthusiasm.

lol. My roommate was just like "Dude, it's 2. Shouldn't that stream be on." "Nah bro, 15 minute delay, it's standard." I hadn't even opened TL in my browser yet, but lo and behold :D
|
Lol. Everyone's starting to come on teamliquid.net, I can feel a bit of 'lag' or slow-page loading. Let's go! I predict IdrA (of course) 3-1. And then I predict Draco (tough decision!) 3-2.
|
Tasteless + Artosis dreamteam.
|
PUMPED cant wait for stream!

haha, yeah. I actually set my alarm for the start time exactly, knowing that by the time I got up and at it 5 minutes later, it'd still not be started. =P
<3youTL

I hope the routing won't kill me again. Rooting for Draco and XiaOzI. Go underdogs!
|
|
|
remeber the "logged in" and "active" - numbers from the last tsl?
if you loook at them now... wow. thats another big step foreward!
|
Draco + IdrA, though I want XiaOzI to win. (Not out of dislike for IdrA, I just like XiaOzI)
|
|
|
does tasteless still follow pro SC?
|
4 MINUTES LEFT! Can't wait.
The match between Sen and Draco should be awesome!

The spoiler protection for torrenting doesn't really work for torrent programs that let you see every file. You'll see 3-4 files with 100mb, then 1 with 10kb. Maybe throw them all in one folder, then go from there next time? <:
|
Haha, I thought the torrent was just going slowly until I realized I had UTorrent capped pretty low.
Cruising at a solid 3mb/s atm. I'll try to seed a bit until I break the threshold and get the warning message from campus IT.

My guess is until the end of the TSL.

Excellent job with getting these VODs up so quickly. Thank you very much. I had to leave after Idra's match to go to class, but I am glad that I can watch em now that I am home

It also doesn't work if you open the results spoiler, but I'm sure you've figured out how to work around that.

spoilers about draco vs sen, beware!
+ Show Spoiler +winner's link is of Draco's tlsd profile, despite it saying sen lol
|
|
|
Streams had initial problems, but good job guys on getting it fixed, and dealing with the spam lol
Like one of the commentators said...It was a great game, at the same time, not so much
|
Great commenary. The only thing there really is to complain about is the sync between the screen and the sound. Get's kinda wierd when we see the swarm go up and tasteless goes like "OOOH HE BARELY GOT THE SWARM UP" 2-3 seconds later. I've only watched the Idra vs XiaOzI vod. ;D

This is what needs to be said to Idra, "practicing 12 hours a day and copying your teammates tactics is a useful talent toi have".

Some people like me had not fast connection. So it will take too long to download VOD's. I have to wait TSL end. =(
It was perfect in qualifications. All replays and so fast.
But ok. Anyway you do good job. Thanks.

sen impressed me like crazy with pretty smart play. Very nice cast though.
|
Quick question, who is controlling the camera in TSL?
|
games 4 and 5 of both series were awesome!!
|
idra pretty much ran over xiaozi! ;{ i wanted some really good games in that series, oh well.
|
We europeans love you Idra <3
|
Can't wait for replays to be posted. I hate watching VODs without camera controls.

Just done watching the games, wow those were all rapes O.o
And the intro vid is quite awesome

Man I would really love a Tasteless + Day cast (no offense to Artosis who is clearly an elite casting progosu).
Go IdrA btw, I hope he goes on to take the TSL
|
Go Idra and Sen... Total rapes all around. Very Dominating play!
