Jason Lee actually sounds like a real sportscaster, which is cool to hear.
It's tough not to prefer the drone of nerd voices for SC2 casts though...

I'm a big sports person. Every sport, including ice hockey, baseball and wrestling, is a fun challenge for me. I'm glad to be challenging a new genre called e-Sports at Arirang TV. I'm always curious about new things and I give my 110% in everything I do. That's why I'm studying new games everyday before I introduce them to you. I'll show you that sports is sports, wether it's online or offline. Don't forget to leave me a lot of messages on our bulletin board.

Maybe this is an east vs. west cultural thing.
We're less focused on societal approval and more about individual distinction. Social conformity is frowned upon by a lot of people.
|
Out of 10, I'd rate him a non-negative non-integer number.
|
Whenever I hear his name I picture Incontrol talking in his botched korean accent LOL "Jason Ree"
|
"Columbia Academy of Radio, Television and Recording Arts (Graduated with honors)"
I knew it. I swear, they teach that fake voice to everyone.
|
All hail the ZergerKing! I really dig his casting. Can't really touch Tastosis, but for an replacement, he's doing one hell of a job.

it probably is. i'm not trying to start something here, as i'm also a fan of the game just like you, but cultural and religious differences definitely are the reasons for all the wars and disputes out there.

I wasn't trying to start anything either. I've just found that individualism is frowned upon in East Asian cultures, and the whole "nerd pride" thing is a pretty individualistic thing. I'm not trying to say one view is better than the other or that this is something to fight over, just that different societies are different.
My forum handle is "individualism" in Japanese, irony fully intentional 
I guess from my point of view a sort of vanilla, mainstream approach to e-sports presentation actually hurts it. The intended demographic will find it off-putting and phony. That doesn't mean it needs to be a complete fringe phenomenon, just that it won't ever be "mainstream" any more than things like skateboarding or chess are. Well, it'll probably be much bigger than chess.
I also don't mean that Tastosis is beyond criticism. Sure, they can improve. But if the criticism is "too much levity and not enough mainstream appeal", then that criticism is fundamentally misguided, in my opinion.

I really can't believe so many people enjoyed his casting and especially his voice. He sounds like an Asian Eugene Levy. His voice was monotonous, excitement seemed obviously feigned (just like a newscaster attempting genuine emotion). I could tolerate all of this if his knowledge of the game was sound, but he really had hardly any idea of what was going on, and combined with his voice I was cringing during the games. In fact, I only watched a few key match where typically I watch them all. I just really can't stand his voice coupled with lack of knowledge.
I will give him a thumbs up for his professionalism, but that couldn't save the terror that was his voice.

THE WORST CASTERS EVER, BRING BACK MY NERDS ARTASTELOSS!!!! In all serious Jason Lee makes me want to drop kick him about 15 times a game, he is worse then that really raspy annoying caster on iCCup.tv
|
P.S. ASIAN EUGENE LEVY LOLOLOLOLOLOL
|
I hated Jason Lee with a passion on his first day here, but either I'm getting used to him or he's getting a lot better.
I still don't like his voice, though.
|
I absolutely don't like him casting - tastosis is so much better.
His knowledge of the game seems to be very poor and he does not emphasise a lot of important things.
But he is trying his best and he is full of enthusiasm, so not that bad.
|
I think Jason has already learned quite alot about the game, I don´t really understand the hate.
It´s interesting to have different types of casters IMO.
|
The casting feels so dull, tastosis might over do the jokes sometimes but atleast its fun to listen to. This guy co casting right now is terrible, he is like a version of idra without the knowledge and is even more monotone.
|
I really liked him teamed up with IdrA but not so much with the other guy.
|
Holy shit. Jason Lee just asked why wouldn't you go Rax before supply in TvT. Assem just kind of stuttered out that it's not possible with the new patch. Kind of awkward.
|
Yes Jason, terran should go rax before supply depo.
Good job on casting :D. Love the one liners.
Is he trolling GSL?
|
This just in, new Jason Lee quote of epic proportions.
(Discussing Rain vs. Ensnare)
"Anything he could have done to different his outcome?"
I love this guy so much, and Enjoy.

100% agree. The only redeeming quality he has is that his knowledge and comments are comically bad. A raven taking out a medivac? Destroying a bunker? Rax before supply?
Yeah, I really didn't enjoy it at all and I'll be glad when Tastosis are back.
