I like their casting, just need to add more professionalism. Maybe say Nick instead of tasteless or whatever ^^. I liked the jackets and stuff. I like their jokes and they make fun a bit, but it should get a little bit more serious and less like your talking about your favourite game with your buddies having a beer. But it got better during the round of 64.

Really not to take away anything from them I really enjoy watching them.

Best casters around, bar none, these guys are Pro's they know their stuff and they have a sense of humility about them. They seem like normal guys with decent crack. The jokes add to the entertainment of the games which some are actualy rather boring (davit) for example.

Some people just like to moan about anything, not sure if its jelousy or not but artosis and tasteless are class and the games are that much better with them casting.

Artosis and Tasteless are much better players than Husky and HD but Husky and HD are better casters than they are.

In real sports the athletes the men who actually play these sports usually make for outright lousy casters, sure they know exactly what is going on but casting is not just about knowledge its also about making the game EXCITING because that is the entire point of the casters, they need to make each game feel epic, important, big, exciting, HD especially is very good at ramping it up when things get really fast and furious, he makes you feel like you are watching some grand FINAL programer match between Flash and Jaedong.

He puts people "over" and makes you care, he calls the action in such a way that everybody can follow, if you really care about "knowledge" then Day9 has his own daily show where the entire purpose is to analyze games more further and nobody does that better than Day9.

If you care about tactics, knowledge etc in real sports you read in depth collums and shows dedicated to that stuff for the more hardcore crowd, but casters are first and foremost have to present the games as something truly exciting

Lots of nerd jealousy rampaging through this thread.

Tasteless and Artosis, you are doing an excellent job. Keep it up guys! Having a blast watching GOM every weekday.

Tasteless is trying to become a better observer. He keeps mentioning during the casts that he's trying to improve, and that he's getting lessons from the korean observer when he can. Personally, this is all I want. I like Tasteless' personality already, and if keeps working on the technical things, he'll be amazing to watch.

I think he's getting better but Tasteless really needs to start viewing from the players views to see if / when they spotted something, he's often saying "did he say that, I don't think he saw that?" yet there's an option right there to tell if they did / didn't.

He will get better with time - there's some good tools at his disposal (personally, I think Blizzard could've even added more but oh well) I'm still enjoying it.

There's too much to say, so I'll try to abbreviate:

- they're both funny, nothing wrong with a little humor during slow moments
- be a bit more objective about the players, and maybe be a bit more informed about their bg?
- learn ALL the various tabs, and the hotkeys for said tabs. I'm a casual player and even I know a LOT of the hotkeys

And my biggest gripe so far was...PoltPrime vs oGsTop game 1; why the hell were you looking at nothing of real interest/importance while Polt's ENTIRE FRIGGIN ARMY got decimated in the middle of the map? And I didn't hear any comments from either caster/commentator about said hugely important and decisive battle.

That last bit just grinded my gears like none other, but I'm still looking forward to seeing more from Tastosis at GSL

I notice they are getting alooot better with their casting, their humor and style works together very well. It feels like they are "life partners" which is a good thing! KEep it up and I'm enjoying it very much!

Anyone knows how the korean casters are able to speak nonstop and how do they move from one caster to another so smoothly? Do they use some kind of cues and what are they looking at on the screens? words typed out by the producers ?

I'm probably wrong, but I've always had the impression that they watch teleprompters for their cues of when to switch off to one another.

In regards to the nonstop speaking, I think that has more to do with the fact that (for me at least) most korean commentators sound the same (mostly) and so we the English speaking viewers just think that it is the same person going on and on and on for hours at a time--I think that it is multiple people more often than we think.

1. They need to stop looking at each other too much
2. Learn more about what the korean casters are saying, and try to incorporate these in their casting.
3. Be more objective, less bias.
4. Be more dramatic like the korean casters or husky and HD
5. Continue to talk about players' history
6. Less silly/personal jokes.

they are great commentaries and I think they're only getting better
I love when they finish sentence in the... exact... same... sandwiches
ps tasteless saying something like "lidless guy could blink more than those stalkers" is the best SC joke I've heard so far : )

I think they do a really great job.

The only thing I'd like to see more of is keeping the production tab up more. Luckily, It seems like they are doing it alot lately.

I like how they aren't 100% "professional" They actually have opinions and personality which makes it far more fun to watch.

My few tips and observations(after watching some of the past SC1 stuff and all of the GSL)

1) Keep working on the professionalism. This has improved a lot from the beginning. Don't let it totally crimp the personal style though.
2) Keep some bias but tone it down a bit.
3) The camera work has improved a good amount. Keep working with the Korean camera man as much as you can.
4) It appears that you guys are sometimes the last to find out about anything (changes in the broadcasting). Make some stronger efforts to make those more transparent. Highlighting a technical difficulty is different though.
5) Try not to suffocate to the fog machine!

I think they are improving. I bashed tasteless in this thread a few days ago, so fair is fair, and I should come and complement them now. Tasteless saying that he's been working with the korean obs guy is pretty cool of him too.

I think maybe since the games are getting better that's helping a lot with the quality of the casts as well.

Tasteless would be even funnier if he didn't have to observe too. I'm frankly impressed he still manages some humor with such a demanding role as observer.

Yo! I noticed!
Tasteless' obs has gotten way better. Less jittery.. I mean shit, I remember him from BW. Was like watching a man with a seizure obs BW. I even remember the first few from GSL, I was annoyed.
Now, the last few times I had no gripes, which means I enjoyed it very much.

As for commentary, o, keep working on it and find your flavor guys. The obsing though, really deserves a thumbs up for improvement. Although Artosis' passive aggresive shots at terran make me wanna slap him. Still, he can be cute too. I dunno, maybe if I didn't hate his GSL games so much... but I did =(.
