Standard LR rules apply: No balance whining, no KeSPA vs. GomTV inciting, no excessive derailing ESPECIALLY when games are on. This is not a thread for you to argue with other people.
On January 12 2007 16:58 rinizim wrote: Tour Bus Driver - Choi Yungsung. oov Now, I am not sure how many people know the origin of this nickname. It all starts from progamers, obviously. Progamers, in private, use profane words. Swearing words, describing certain strategies and sorts. Among them was the word "gang gan", meaning rape. The progamers use the word "gang gan", just as we use the word 'rape' to describe one-sided matches. However, you have to understand that in Korea, the use of such word is generally much more frowned upon. You know, culture difference. So, the word 'gang gan' transformed into a word 'gwan gang' which sounds similar(though really not), but has a totally different meaning. 'gwan gang' means tourism. And the one who leads people into "tourism" by a "tourist bus" would be named the "bus driver". This idea came right out after the match between oov and goodfriend in nostalgia, where oov led goodfriend into "tourism" with 200 wraiths, when goodfriend was defending with goliath and turrets. There came to be many photoshopped images, where oov is driving a bus, and goodfriend as one of the passengers. (We all have seen that picture once or twice).
A similar conceptual word to "tourism" is Andromeda. The Koreans will pronounce that word syllable by syllable, 안드로메다. It is basically the same concept. A progamer will send the opponent into "tourism" to visit Andromeda... a distant, far far away galaxy. So the Koreans(and even the commentators) will use phrases like, "Ah, He will be paying a visit to Andromeda!", or phrases like, "Whoa, oov has seated himself in the driver's seat, ready for a take off." They are really funny. (But, they will not use the word 'gwan gang', because it still resembles the word 'rape'.)
I would like to make a point, though: liberal use of "rape" is more of an american lowbrow college thing, not a western cultural thing. >>'
Nope. People in French gaming community use it all the time for example.

I fuggin love Tastosis too. And no one is more deserving, thats not what I said.... what I said was there's others who are also deserving who do incredible jobs and we all praise the shit out of them for it. But when I mention that Apollo or Wolf casting Code-S would be a very interesting change of pace, everyone falls back to basically what sounds like a "I HATE CHANGE" argument.

It has improved majorly over the last 2 GSL's. They used to to talk about random shit the first 5-10min.

It's probably more down to their contracts rather than the simple fact of "change". And not many casters would go for a commitment like the one Tastosis have to make for GSL -- can't exactly go around the world casting other tournaments that may clash.

Apollo's sluggish way of pronouncing things with his pronunciation annoys the hell out of me.
I know he's very knowledgeable but I would have to mute if Apollo was casting.
Wolf + Artosis is a great combo, you can learn a lot about the game when they're casting together.

Khaltosis for Code S again please ;o
I would actually be happy to see Tastosis do Code A and GSTL for a season, while Wolfdor takes Code S. Tastosis used to get SO hyped during GSTL
Never gonna happen, though! They earned their place.

Neither Khaldor nor Wolf (Especially him imho) deserve to live in the shadow of Tastosis. In reality I think they don't really, I consider them the real main casters for GomTV at the moment, casting way more than Tastosis, but yeah they are underrated on community sites.

User was warned for this post
