For those of you who don't know me i'm Nick Plott also known as 'Tasteless.' I've been a competitive gamer on SC since the game has come out and have since then moved on to shoutcast many live tournaments such as WCG, Blizzcon, WWI and others. I do this because i love this game and esports in general and also have a long time interest in helping it's growth. A week ago i was informed that Arirang TV (http://www.arirang.co.kr/index.asp) has been looking for an English RTS caster. I am very happy to tell you all i have been accepted for this position and will now be broadcasting on Korean national television.

When i first started casting i promised myself i would only cast SC because i feel (actually i flat out know) that SC is the best and most hardcore esports game ever made. However, after time i learned that it was difficult to get hired for many of these events if i was only casting one game. The result was me occasionally casting Warcraft 3 as long as i was casting Starcraft as well. In Korea i will be covering both War3 and SC because i would not have been hired otherwise. Because i have been vested with the privilege of bringing SC and War3 coverage i plan on working very hard to update my war3 knowledge so i can give the best coverage possible.

Many of you may know i have tried to get in to Korea to broadcast before but have only managed to cover specific events. One of my major goals was getting a permanent job in Korea so i could cover events year round. Unfortunately Korea is a very closed culture as far as esports goes and it's hard to get inside that microcosm unless you have good connections. It was not me who even figured out that Arirang was hiring, it was none other than probe/cannon/scout master Rekrul. Rekrul not only discovered that Arirang was hiring but managed to convince (or use DA mind control ability on) the company that i was the right person for the job. I would have never had this chance unless Rek had gone out of his way to do this and for that i thank him. I also ask everyone at TL.net to thank him because, even if you don't like my casts, people like rekrul are helping esports to expand to a broader audience--and that's a good thing. Thx again Rekrul =]

I will be co-broadcasting with Jason Lee, a top notch professional broadcaster who i am looking forward to working with. i hope you all tune in. Thankyou again tl.net for always supporting me.

I will need new friends when i get to korea, please don't hesitate to PM me if you need a friend to goto the PC bang or the bar.

If your good at war3 or know a good war3 progamer i would love to get some tips. I want to give that game the respect it deserves.

Also, would any Korean TL.net members be willing to help me find an apartment in korea? i also need to get korean cellphone service and a korean bank account. I would greatly appreciate it. I promise to take you out for drinks if you help. <3

Congrats, sounds like a fun job =]

I could help you with WarCraft 3 if you're interested, or if nothing else get you in contact with some players who would be better suited to help.
We cant give up just because things arent the way we want them to be.

congrats tasteless, I'm excited to hear the news

You probably need to cut down on the cursing during your commentating though haha~~

war3 advice: You could ask Rek to introduce you to some war3 pros, current and retired. If I remember correctly, Rek is close to Zacard, who retired earlier this year among others.
