EPTPS: It was quite amusing how he kept calling Forcefields Stasis for the longest time ever and even calling Alive Light[alive], just shows how great(and long lasting) his SC1 knowledge is.

I can assure you he didn't ruin the results for the TSL. He hasn't even played his next match yet. They don't play 2 weeks in advance. | ||

It's not like he was eating a burger while playing or something. Same goes for Sen vs MKP where the trademark early bio aggression was just demolished. MKP was playing his standard style and lost. If you define serious as week long 10+ hours per day focusing on a single match then ya I guess they aren't taking this too seriously. How often does that type of practice ever occur? GSL finals maybe semis. Otherwise a more standard style regimen will be used. The same regimen that the korean players are on right now. When the actual tourney starts up will you consider that serious play? What is the difference between then and now? Back in WCG the koreans didn't take the tournament that seriously. Old maps that their leagues didn't use anymore and little or no practice at the site. The difference here is the maps are the GSL ones so the koreans are practicing on them daily. Also they didn't have to travel away so no lack of practice due to travel either. I dont see the point of the argument here, they are all playing at quite usual pace, Sen in MKP game play incredibly well and even Nestea or JulyZ would do something similarly. I agree that there was some intent to entertain the crowd in their strategy still they still very focus in the game. In term of the gap, during early time of BW, there are times when guys like PJ or Androide can beat top Korean players at WCG. At the moment when BW still standing, I dont think in SC2 Korea can retain such an enormous gap as they do in BW. So as long as the game is delivered in no lag situation, every result should be well received without the moaning about who serious or not | ||

He seems just as knowledgeable as in SC1. Artosis likes to go more in depth as opposed to Tasteless's mainstream commentary (which is what he did in SC1 commentary anyways). I think tasteless not having his own camera control definitely hurts any deeper analysis. The observer missed a couple things that Artosis would catch and Artosis would be able to look the more mundane but informational stuff like which buildings are being chronoboosted so his commentary can be more in depth. Tasteless is just looking at the observer camera so that his commentary is in tune with what we're watching. | ||

It's not out of the realm of possibility. Day9 & Wheat mentioned on their TSL cast last weekend that one of the Ro32 matches was played back in January. I imagine that once players know who their next-round opponents are already, they can pick a mutually-convenient time to play their matches whenever they want as long as they submit their replays before a designated deadline. Since both MC and WhiteRa both had their Ro32 results released on TSL Day 2 (two weekends ago), it is entirely possible that the two have already played their Ro16 match against each other. Just because the public cast of the replays isn't for another two weeks doesn't mean the matches haven't already been played. | ||

Ya that is definitely understandable... plus he needs to cover play by play, whether he is alone or with Artosis. That being said, I wish he would offer more insight as he did in BW. I know that he often leaves the insight for Artosis... but I still wish he would offer more (which he does sometimes) I'm not sure why. Either way, I am not really complaining. I love Tastosis and I think they do a great job the way it is, though there is always room for improvement. | ||

Tasteless is just looking at the observer camera so that his commentary is in tune with what we're watching. I gotta disagree that he's just as knowledgeable in SC2 than SC1. In BW, Tasteless actually could call builds before they came (ironically even without all the observer features in SC2) and the likes. In SC2, while not often, he makes a lot of mistakes which Artosis sometimes has to correct. Understandably though, as he hadn't been playing SC2 competitively for as long as he has in SC1.

Hot_Bid (one of the tournament admins) said they don't play their games 2 weeks in advanced. Whether he's lying or not is up to you to decide. But just don't bother speculating on it. Speaking of which they could never play matches back in January because the brackets and all the qualifiers weren't known. What are you talking about? | ||

When I say "They don't play 2 weeks in advance" I'm quoting Hot_Bid, except he added a "lol". He should know. Edit: MC was talking about losing to Cloud in the FXOpen, lost in translation. | ||
