Jason is definitely quite a bit more polished at filling in transitions and silences; very good at prompting his co-casters for answers as well I think - like, none of those moments we see often w/ Tastosis where they just repeat eachother for 10-15s waiting for something (like game starting) to happen. I've been pretty damn impressed really. I think some of his casting feeling more professional probably comes from him being able to actually understand the Korean casters in the background and sync up, etc.

Yeah he's very professional and I like it and yes there are some rough spots on sc2 specifically but compared to the start of tastosis it's really not that big of a deal. It feels a little bit more like a sports caster and if he teamed up with a great analyst/color commentator it could be really good. I prefer my tastosis ofc but this guy is good

Also, the post match interviews have been so much better. He is actually asking relevant questions. I'd love to see Tastosis + Jason Lee. I think working with him would also allow them to grow as casters.

I thought he had a great voice and always had something to say, sadly his co-casters were not on his level I felt, jason lee+artosis would be an awesome combo

Jason Lee was really really good, but tastosis forever!

I voted he was great.

Ps bad options to pick from... why do i have to pick ''great with some shaky moments''?

Jason + idrA is the best commentary combo I have heard. They have very different ways of commentating/analyzing thing, but they come together so perfect.

<3 Tastosis but listening to them several hours per day, five days a week, gets a bit tedious. If Blizzard/Gom plan to continue having up to nine games per day, especially during bo64, it would be really nice to get another pair of commentators to add some diversity.

The man's a pro, no doubt about it. The combination of he and IdrA was excellent and I'd really love to see more from the two. It's so refreshing not dealing with the awkward Tasteless pauses

Haven't seen all the games yet that they did but I really like the Idra / Jason duo. Jason asked Idra decent questions and Idra's insight in the game's strategy was amazing.

Where is the option "Has never seen or played starcraft 2 and was therefor extremely painful to listen to."?

I like him, if he had a more suitable co-caster with him he would be better :p

Tastosis are good because both of them can feed of of each other so that the co-caster can pick up if the other's commentary goes awkward.

Everyone keeps saying "Jason Lee + artosis" or "Jason Lee + Tasteless" but realistically those would both be an epic fail.

Let's be honest, Jason doesn't have the fun personality needed to fit with Tasteless or Artosis. The age gap, and lack of humor would really not flow well at all.

His professionalism is great and all but when you sit here for 10 Starcraft matches a day and can't even crack much of a smile most of the time (his humor is odd) it gets a little tedious.

And 100 double robo all the way jokes is not odd? Or how tasteless needs to mention hes in EG and is a pro gamer atleast once every cast...

I liked Jason + idra alot more and would also like to see Jason + artosis/idra + artosis.

Remember it was Jason his first time casting an sc2 event... so it would only get better from here.
