Highly doubt it. Its not uncommon for artosis to cast some of these GOM events alone at times. Hes casted the occasional GSL group by himself and such. I guess tasteless was busy and/or not getting paid so he decided not to do it.

If this isn't the new found source meme Khaldor mentioned that they (Wolf and him) were supposed to cast individually like Artosis but decided casting together would be better for fans so whichever one wasn't on schedule just came in anyway. It was just assumed Tasteless didn't make that choice
EDIT: dammit Dodgin

It's amazing the # of dedication he has, especially doing things that most peopel would turn the blind eye doing (aka broadcasting the Code A qualifers + podcasts) Tasteless...meh...never was a fan of him.
Tasteless was amazing in BW days, today he's just pretty good.

This is true. Tasteless makes a pretty good salary doing a somewhat of an easy job, he's adored, good working hours etc. I doubt he's going to give it up that easily or retire.

Yeah... just imagine that now with locusts added.

Yeah, I was just joking guys, he's probably staying with GOM :D It's a damn shame he isn't as commited as someone like Khaldor, because imo he has twice the casting talent, but eh, gotta have what we have :/

The hype that tasteless provides is invaluable. People complain that they don't like that kind of thing but then wonder why things like the wcs_am stream seems lackluster. Tasteless is surprisingly good at filling dead time after having had every single possible conversation with his co-caster, and he knows how to make a game feel exciting. I mean I love SC2, but how good the casting is makes such a big difference in how exciting it is to watch. People don't realize how much tasteless actually provides to that experience.

At least the filler music for GOM is pretty good. Keeping me awake and hyped up.

that's not the only way to interpret it

As silly as it seems to actually type this out, I think Tasteless is one of the most seriously underrated casters out there.

I don't understand why they did that. Well..it sort of makes sense. It's to be broadcasted on OGN so make sure all games are broadcasted, they probably gave a very lenient/flexible schedule. Just imagine where Koreans are watching OGN of Game 5 Innovation vs aLive with one last battle to decide the winner and then the time slot is finished and before the battle ends, they cut into commercials and the scheduled broadcasts

Vipers will be trying pull broodlords and swarmhosts to their death. The other player will counter this by trying to pre-emptively pull the viper into their own army before it gets the pull.
what about corruptors you say? Well that's the thing. They will also have insurance vipers ready to pull their own viper to safety before it gets shot. and they bring spores along which outrange corruptors but not vipers.
thats what zvz will be.

I think its mvp,sos,soulkey or innovation. Roro had a chance but I guess it was not his time. Roro played some good games against soulkey though
