I've definitely seen the improvement even though the GSL has only been going for a short time. I enjoy the chemistry between the two. Question: is there a reason for only two commentators? I think having a 3rd can really open the dynamics, and can make the slow times much easier to entertain through. Keep up the good work guys... another $20 well spent here. | ||

Their cheesy jokes have made me rofl on several occasions and the commentary is incredibly entertaining, which is the point for me. There's just enough game knowledge supplemented by artosis to round it out.I've seen all but 1 game... and to be honest, it's better than Husky and/or HD.. might not be saying much but it's not as bad as people are saying it is... I know Day[9] is a friggin' pro at it, and Tasteless is his brother, but he comes like one notch below Personally, i love their casting, especially their comedy I know I'm blasphemous and probably alone, but I prefer it to Day9. I don't really need a starcraft 101 lesson, and 'Tastosis' are the perfect fit for funny comments mixed in while I'm already following the direction of the game. I fully expect to be struck down by the Day9 gods, but I can only be told something is a 'huge blunder' or 'the most standard thing in the world' so many times. | ||

- Artosis, and to a lesser extent Tasteless, should try to mention bw less than they currently do. While I don't mind it too much, my impression is that a good number of people watching GSL didn't follow bw too much (if at all) and they'd rather not hear about bw so often. - Tasteless should almost never zoom in on units or buildings. I noticed he does this a lot to highlight an important tech structure, but I think mentioning it and clicking on it is enough. Zooming in overdoes it with the focus. Other than that, you guys area doing a great job. My brother and I often stay up until 3 or 4 a.m. to watch GSL. You guys are very funny. Please don't change that  | ||

Considering that it's still ro64 and the quality of games isn't exactly the highest it could be, and the fact that they're doing this almost every day and for hours, I doubt there is any other caster duo that could maintain this kind of entertainment value every day. Too many people are comparing this genuine regular live content to one-off casts of ro16 and up games, pre-watched replays and semi-scripted youtube casts. This is as good as it gets in this setting folks. | ||

By that I mean I'd like to see that they prepared for the matches before casting them. Many times they seem not to know anything about the players involved. Can we get some background, anecdotes, anything? This is the sort of stuff that is crucial to developing a young game — we need to know the players to root for them! Overall I think Artosis and Tasteless make a good combo though. I'd love to see Artosis go as in-depth on strategy as he did in his BW commentaries. Yes this spot on. Hype the match, tell us about the players. I remember the Terran vs Idra, when they hyped the match abit with his ghost play. More of this with every new game. I also much rather listening to korean commentator in brood war, even though I dont know 1 word of korean. The emotions these casters can get through, and the great camera control is so professional. | ||

Also I would like to say that Artosis is a surprisingly solid and funny commenter. I seen some of his solo work and noticed compared to this that he really feeds off of other people's energy making him 10x better then alone. | ||

Tasteless and Artosis have done a great job! They're thoroughly entertaining. Tasteless can sometimes seem simple minded but it's endearing. I was watching today's stream and Tasteless commented on himself being dyslexic, I joked to my friend, 'No surprise there'. I love the banter, Tasteless adds the humour and excitement and Artosis is there with decent insight and summaries of the players. Possible improvements for me would be: More details on the players. Sure as someone pointed out this could be GOMTV's fault however Artosis and Tasteless are now a part of GOMTV. If one part of the team forgets or screws something up, it's good to pick that up for them and if it's too much work then maybe just to suggest they help out with it for the next season. You know what? Anything past that is purely pedantic. Great casting guys! | ||

I feel they cover all the necessary bases and that things that people might feel 'should' be improved are their negligible flaws that give their casts so much more character. There are no GLEAMING flaws in their cast and for the most part it's very entertaining. Well, there's a clear difference between "casting casually on a lievstream account" and casting games for money in a huge tournament, and i feel they should really strive to become better, because right now their still just two people casually casting games and not really putting a real effort into it. You should always strive to get better, and when you miss that a guy is making battlecruisers twice in a row, you're not trying hard enough. The OP and several posters has valid points, which would all improve them as casters, so why not do that? The latest games you can really see that they have taken pointers from this thread, like keeping production tab up, not zooming so much, moving their screen slower etc, that's a good thing. You don't have to immediately come to their "defense" just because some guys says what they think would make them better casters. | ||

'like keeping production tab up, not zooming so much, moving their screen slower etc' - Agree to those being good things. A discussion thread for me evolves as the pages fill up, barring a few posts people start to come to conclusion through reading opinions. So I was just throwing out the other side of the story. In the paragraph you just quoted I think I was more jumping to my own defense. =P | ||

I think artosis and tasteless need more synergy going on. Casters need to pass the mic(not literally) back and forth with respect, but tonight tasteless was pretty much off the wall with "uh" and "um", and artosis didn't get any words in at all. Tasteless also has a habit of interrupting people talking with 'yea', 'i totally agree'. It usually derails artosis, and it also happens in other events like sotg(episode 7) or the gomtv classic. | ||
