i failed to execute the build properly, the main purpose of that build is to have 3 stalkers out to intercept the 1zeal 1stalker 1probe that your opponent sends out, you deny their proxy pylon because you have the early game unit advantage, after your 3 stalkers you make 1 gate 2 zeals 1 gate then your pylon, the 5 units u get from your gateways negates their first warpin,(if it comes to that which it shouldnt, ur supposed to deny their proxy pylon) obviously your warpgate is gonna be much slower than theirs because you have to chrono 2 stalkers out and while your doing all this your constantly building probes(which is why i had a pretty significant probe count lead)

i just made an amateurish mistake by not scouting for any proxy pylons after i killed his probe, i was really behind after he killed 2 of my stalkers while i was running back to my base but luckily he overextended himself and i managed to surround his units with my probes

Really, i thought Tasteless seemed over 9000 percent uncomfortable. He seemed off his game.

I'm, not saying he did a bad job or anything. Though he just seemed more ...out of his element.

Artosis is on the level of Day9 and Tasteless is on the level of Husky when it comes to understanding of the game; just a whole different tier.

I agree. I've never really been impressed with Tasteless, as I think that even though he was in top form in the BW casting days, in SC2 he's completely subpar. That he hasn't really improved skill-wise in both playing, knowledge, and casting is not the bad part. It's that one gets the impression that he doesn't really care to improve. When they're not casting, Artosis plays the game and does things for the community like posting up interviews at team houses. The impression I get is that Tasteless just parties. Artosis is on the level of Day9 and Tasteless is on the level of Husky when it comes to understanding of the game; just a whole different tier.

A couple of seasons ago, Artosis was joking about how he was like Batman, and Tasteless got irked and said "oh you think you're the Batman? I'm the head caster, you're my co-caster. You're Robin, I'm the Batman." Artosis chose not to reply and just smiled at the camera. Yet yesterday when Tasteless had to solo, he repeatedly made comments to the effect that he needed Artosis there to help him out. Like a baby pulled from his mother's teat. "It's too bad he couldn't co-coach with Artosis?" Only if you want Team World All-Stars to lose from being given third rate advice!

I did not like Artosis coaching and casting at same time. He was a little "overly enthusiastic'', which is bad because he already is really enthusiastic. Tasteless was great solo, very professional, showed knowledge and picked up slack where it needed to be picked up.

I would be very happy if DOA and tasteless casted tonight and left artosis to sort out the coaching stuff.

Foreigners fighting!!!

Not trolling at all. It's clear that Artosis fills the analysis role and Tasteless is the color commentary guy. The question is, can Tasteless also do analysis when called upon? The answer is no. Did you see Tasteless duo cast with Kelly? As the senior commentator hosting the new gal, the expectation was that he would step in and do the heavy lifting, but it was clear that he was not capable of doing so. That's why those casts sucked so much, because it was basically like having two color commentators talking with no analysis; the vacuum left by Artosis was felt heavily. She was actually quite good with Artosis.

And listening to the TSL casts these past couple of weekends, I honestly can't say Tasteless is much better than Husky. If I had to divide casters into two groups, I would have to lump Tasteless together in the same category as Husky/Chill/DJWheat/JP, with Day9/Artosis in a group above the rest. The alarming thing is that you can actually see DJWheat improving since he entered the scene last year, but the same can't be said for some of these other guys.

I felt that Tasteless did a great job. In fact, I was impressed since he usually kind of takes the backseat when Artosis is there. This time, he did alot more analysis and in general sounded alot more knowledgeable than usual. Shows that he really knows his stuff and simply lets Artosis do most of the game analysis when they're casting together.

This.I can't agree with this anymore. There is no money on the line, and I don't see think the Koreans are taking this very seriously. HOWEVER, I do think it is now really raising some eyebrows to the top level players in the GSL, with the results in the TSL now this...

Did you ever watch bw? Tasteless was a very knowledgeable solo caster then, and he's a very knowledgeable solo caster now. Yes when he's with artosis he takes the backseat, someones gotta do it.

Yeah I did. Like I said in the second sentence of my first post, I thought he was in top form back in the BW days. Tasteless used to be great. Anyone could go back and pull up his old videos and see why he was called the Storm Observer. The dude was fast, had great insight and had crisp commentary.

It's actually baffling how he's completely dropped down so much in the time between BW and SC2. His talking speed is so sluggish compared to before, and his voice sounds like he's gotten lung cancer. The guy's been drinking/smoking too much or something, he sounds like a totally different person. Too much partying on his off-time, not enough nose-to-the-grindstone SC2. He's nowhere near as good as he was back in the old days, not even close.
