Tastosis was on the things I really looked forward to about watching SC2 but he's not putting in the time anymore. I'd much rather watch Khaldor who really puts in the effort. Yeh if you read these LR threads regularly it is a basic roundabout. Some people say Tastless lost his passion and his casting is bad, the next week people are saying that Tasteless has upped his game and it is an enjoyable cast. I love every cast they do, I admit I love some of their casts more than others but I always find it entertaining and fun to listen to and I don't think it is right to make a hurtful post because Tasteless said something that doesn't agree with a statistic when statistics never give the full story. | ||

If anything they are pretty evenly matched at the moment. Bomber is better TvT. Yes. TvP he is a one trick pony right now. Pulling ScVs all the time will get figured out, while Innovations does it alot, he can win with any style. TvZ Innovation is way better. Also Innovation has just way way way more results under his belt in the last 6 months. Bomber did well at wcs season 1-2 yes. And he got second at RSL... That's basically it. Innovation finished high in anything he entered except WCS Season 2 finals. | ||

Weren't you around for the whole "I'd really love to stream sc2, but my computer isn't up to it, so I'll just stream heaps of some other game instead" thing? Plus there's the cringe-making moments in his cast where even the casual watcher knows he doesn't know what he's talking about. Yeah we can't definitely prove that he doesn't put in the effort into preparing for his casts by playing / watching so you can give him the benefit of the doubt it you want, but the results speak for themselves. | ||

I'm listening too his casting. He does not know any new trends. He still thinks Zerg should be in the Supply lead against terran at all times, which was true in 2011. He does not know any of the new players he just uses empty buzzwords saying that they are: "really solid" I love tasteless and I still enjoy a lot of his casting, but nobody else would get away with the gaping knowledge holes he has. | ||

I figured that could push him into reacquainting himself more with the technical intricacies of the game. Basically a "put up or shut up" situation. To me it feels like he has grown complacent in a cushy gig. Edit: mutas not auto-win against toss? What is this, TL resorted to hyperbole? | ||

Innovation finished high in anything he entered except WCS Season 2 finals. Sure he has more consistent results, but watching their play right now (last few months) they look fairly even in terms of skill and performance. I'd say innovation clearly relies on scv pulls vs protoss, if Bomber does, then so does innovation. Either way, TaeJa is the best terran at the moment  | ||

Lol, people are always saying this as if it's a perfect defense or something. Look, I like Tasteless, he's cool and I love his casting, I wouldn't replace him with any other guy, but it's pretty clear that he doesn't play nor follow the metagame outside of the games he casts. I'm cool with it, what I like with Tasteless is that his casting flows really well, he's funny, and he actually has really good tactical insight. Like, he has no knowledge of the metagame, the overall strategies or the builds or the players' current strengths and shit, but he quickly sees what a player can do in a given position on a given part of the map with a given set of units. Edit: Yeah, I didn't want to use the world because I don't think I'm qualified to say it, but people used it above: I think Tasteless is just really talented at casting, and that his talent largely offsets what other more motivated casters bring. Especially analytical casters don't bring much to me in a cast, I'm confident that I'll know what's going on without a guy telling me about it. Not like I don't acknowledge that there are excellent analytical casters, obviously. | ||
