Is artosis from brooklyn? I hear a slight accent that he doesn't have anymore and was curious where artosis is from.

All this thread needs now is a post from the man himself.

<3 Artosis In that video Artosis looks same as he is now. Only that hat in that video makes a bit younger appearance.

Awesome vid, relived daily 100

This is completely amazing. Makes me love Day[9] even more, seeing him a little less confident but with that trademark charisma still visible. I remember hearing the SotG guys talking about nerve issues he had at LANs, you can sure see some of that.
And Artosis and Tasteless! It's kinda jarring seeing them in that situation, especially Tasteless when he's talking about having to play Sean and he's all agitated and pumped.
GREAT video.

No way man, the contributions they are making to the game are far greater even than GSL champions. MC can give us beautiful games, but getting people to see the beauty in the game is harder to do. Plus, from the perspective of self-interest, I'm pretty sure all of those guys are making more money casting than they would be playing professionally.

White ra is 31, Boxer is 31 aswell, and Nestea is 29 come first in my mind that are about 30 years old. And there is numerous 25 years old people too.

This is so cool. When you think of everything that day9, tasteless, and artosis have gone through since then it just makes for an epic bit of starcraft history. If you didn't get chills while you were watching this if you've seen daily 100 there's something wrong with you, this gave me close to the same feeling that daily did when I watched it =D

Amazing stuff. Got to love Artosis
|
Fantastic video, great editing. Thanks for putting that together. Artosis was so bummed out at his loss, really feel for him.
|
any videos for the next wcg?
|
Do we have any confirmation that Day9/Tasteless/Artosis have seen this vid? Given that Day9 and Tasteless's mom posted in here, I'm assuming they have.

No gg's from Artosis!
I'm going to start puking before ladder sessions. Old replays didn't save chat. Maybe he did GG.
What's with all the people mentioning Artosis's accent? I don't know if it's just me, but I think his normal voice still sounds like that. It's just that he has both a "radio" voice and a normal voice.
Edit Artosis tweeted about his accent so I guess it's just me.

Artosis and Tasteless and I believe Day9 as well, have talked about it on twitter and linked it when it came out so no doubt they've seen it.

Day9 and Artosis have tweeted about it so they have seen it. Tasteless has probably seen it as well
