I would rather have a professional caster like Jason Lee commentating the games than a semi-professional knowledgeable gamer.

Professionalism is everything.

He would be great but his lack of knowledge of the game really put me off. But to be fair, Jorgen is a pretty poor co-caster who just sat there most of the time. Jason was a lot more enjoyable when IdrA was co-casting because he could ask him a lot of questions.

I thought he did a great job. I think the most important thing for a caster is a confident social skilled person. I would rather watch commentary by a bronze player with good social skills than someone at the top level with no social skills, (beyond the communication of a keyboard.) I'm not implying that this is all or even a majority of the top players but definitley at least a few.

Tonight for the afternoon matches we'll have Idra and Jorgen casting the first game, then Jorgen soloing the next two, then back to Idra and Jorgen for the last one. This should make people appreciate the casting dynamic that Jason has as the exciting play-by-play caster!



wow, really?

that's not going to be cool i think.... jorgen got better in the end but i can't see him going anywhere alone... :/

Correct me If i'm wrong but isn't Jason Lee a World of Warcraft commentator? Thinking about it, I can see how commenting a World of Warcraft match would make you an excellent Play by Play guy.

this man was horrible.
he had no idea of any strategies, kept saying um and it was annoying as a motherf.

I don't really think he tried to do too much analysis of the strategies, which I thought was great. He did a really good job of asking Idra what he thought, rather then trying to talk about the strategy and making himself look like an idiot like tasteless does all the time.

wtf? jorgen casting alone is going to be like driving by a fatal accident. it's fuckin horrible, but you can't help but look.

yesterday, he looked like he just hated being there. it's like he owed tastosis a favor and just sat there brooding about it

I hope 70% of you are kidding. I did not like him AT ALL! I actually muted the GOM player, and slowly lost interest in watching the matches. It is boring to watch GSL with out casters, but severely rage inducing to listen to Jason Lee.

Jason Lee did a good job despite his lack of sc2 knowledge and I like the fact that there is no dead air when he commentating. The combo with idra was really good, Lee for play by play and idra for the dead on analysis aspect. All they need is a screamer and they will be perfect.

It's natural to avoid strategic analysis when you sit next to a pro-gamer who knows so much more. This has to do with confidence level.

If Jason Lee were to cast with a less well known player/caster, he would automatically attempt to do more analysis.

I find comfort knowing that Jason Lee is temporary. Eagerly awaiting the return of Tastosis.

Where's the "has a voice like a cheese grater in my ear" option? I found his voice annoying as hell, I could forgive him for not knowing jack about the game if his voice wasn't so awful to listen to.

Fire Tasteless, Hire David Lee.

Tasteless has lost the fire he had for SC2, his sloppy casting is the second worst part of the GSL. (The first would be the scrub matches they had on Day 2 and Day 3).


Tasteless may be sloppy but at least he knows what is going on. The audience for SC2 is mainly younger people so a lot of his slipups and weak points are tolerable or overlooked. Plus Artosis and him make a stronger whole than the parts which is really fun and interesting.

It might be a good idea to make Tasteless try by saying "we might hire this guy" but even if they are about the same the combo with Artosis makes them that much better.


There are good reasons for Tastosis to stay together, and it all has to do with the achievement of long-term solid casting. Look for my link higher up on the page, you'll find answers to your doubts about his abilities there.


I'm not gonna read all that sorry. All I know is Tastosis are awesome and need some minor help while Jason Lee is a good voice but not right for SC2. I think he could do great for sports or other things but not really for SC2. Besides just not knowing whats going on his voice type doesn't fit. I personally stopped watching HDstarcraft when he started doing that stupid casting voice. That might just be personal opinion though.

All in all the target demographic is younger people who aren't professionals for the most part. All the incrowd knowledge Tastosis has is far more valuable than anything Jason Lee can bring either. They were the gamers, they are the gamers, its their lives, they love it. They know the players, they know the scene, and they just need some relatively minor adjustments.

There is the play by play commentator, and the color commentator.

My favorite combo for GSL will now be Jason Lee + Artosis.
I'm sorry Tasteless, but you'll work if you didn't keep cue-ing for the IU voice & maps to come out; and look in Artosis in the eye for like n-thousand times.

"Did you see that???!! He just destroyed his own barrack"

"Did he salvage it?"

"No, he destroyed it"

priceless =ppp.

He lacks a lot of knowledge, but i liked his attitude. I personally think that he is more entertaining than day9 =p.
