His job is to hype up the game and build excitement. Of course he is going to tunnel vision on the big battles instead of moving away from it and saying "OMG HE'S EXPANDINGGGGGGGGG" It's not a casters job to explain exactly what the players are doing, you can just watch and see for yourself. Casting is horrible, if you find this casting good you are expecting nothing from lifes qualities. I listened to a restream of the korean version, and even though I do not understand what they are saying, their cameracontrol and emotions they put at keypoints are more then enough to get me super pumped up. Tasteless does not even come close to bring excitement, actually the analyst and the sc2 lexicon Artosis does this better. Artosis is good, he could do well with another caster that had different qualities then him (more energy and emotions), but Tasteless, well, the fact he could even sink so low and show up with cold and act like he is a hero for us is just, I honestly do not have words for such. I hope they fire Tasteless, 1 season has passed, and he is still very bad at everything he does. I gave him so many chances, never judged him in the start despise him being rusty. He just does not deliver. | ||

But overall great job. I'd like to see him utilize a LOT more player view, you can tell he was a SC1 caster for so long. Whereas other people like HD and Husky make more use of the tools at their fingertips. | ||

it kinda kills the excitement because every 3 seconds they say "looks like player x is gonna type out any minute now" or "looks like we're going to the next map" other then that, i think its been a good job.. his obsing will improve over time i believe | ||

In no way did Tasteless overemphasize the fact that he was sick and I think the fact that you think he was trying to have himself seen as a hero is very shortsighted and judgmental on your part. Tasteless mentioned his cold, they joked about it for a little bit, then moved on to cast the games. I believe he mentioned it once more so newer viewers would know why his voice was off but that does necessarily point to being a narcissist. | ||

Also don't piss all over your casting job and the associated company by cross promoting your own stuff constantly, we get it, you're in EG and you sell t-shirts, stop trying to Gootecks up my SC2 bro. | ||

i think it's a really difficult time to cast right now, considering the game has been out for only a couple months (as opposed to when he started casting for BW--- the game had been out for years... ie. set build orders leading to more predictable events) -- part of why it is exciting now is because players are able to do things that haven't been seen (or even thought of by many people) before... and i can't blame him for failing to predict what hasn't been seen before (also, i can't blame him for not being able to have the camera on 4 locations at once, even though i'd like to see them all) | ||

The observing could still be improved, yeah, but that's it. | ||

They did a horrible job and should really work on themselves, because at the moment, there are a lot more people, who could do a better job than this. Please be so kind to name them. | ||

I think tasteless really needs to get someone to do the obersving for him so he can concentrate on his commentary. Because at the moment neither his commentary or oberving are up to par (I think tasteless is fantastic usually but he's trying to do too much by commentating and observing and it shows). | ||

1. Less fixed screen, more moving and looking into different spots. I'd love to see more active screen swapping. Rotate between builds and units constantly. 2. Always look in the mini map to spot on going situations. Even if its insignificant like overlord spreading creep, etc. It's always better for viewers to get to know what's really going on. 3. More collaboration- Tasteless can do the camera observing; but Artosis (and maybe others through the headset) can really spot what else is happening on other parts of the map so that they can actually miss out on less. 4. Less general "filler" items like "That's such an awesome match" "Or <player> is such a sick sick monster", "I think we're going to see a good game" etc. Just let us know what you guys really think! Personal/ subjective or not, its up to viewers to decide and u know we love to debate on that!!! 5. Less cueing. Please. Nobody cares if the map pool screen/ game starts/ street fighter voice enters the screen at the exact time you guys mentioned it to be. We're here to see Tastosis cast the game, give us some personality and don't bother too much with the routines. Remember that you guys are just as important as the games itself. Overall you guys are doing a pretty decent job and wanna let u know we really appreciate you guys living the dream in Korea. I'd love to see you guys becoming better in the process because I know you guys are better. Cheers! | ||

It's like people want AAA rating pro sports commentary 24/7 - it's fucking inane. This is a niche sport, consider yourselves lucky you have anyone - they do a fairly reasonable job and when he does plug his own shit he does it humourously - who gives a shit if Tasteless is in EG and he mentions it inbetween matches. Are you that starved for data that one sentence inbetween games is wasting your time? Jesus. What they do need is to keep their eye on the map more -and make better use of the obs features built in to SC2, also they need to not read this thread as they might cry at how dopey some starcraft fans are | ||
