You might be thinking sololy tasteless, who often makes the wrong call. You only need to watch all GSLs to come up with that. Artosis does it all the time - he consistently underestimates what players are able to hold off and do, though he is much better now compared to season one. I think it was season 2 where he was saying "14 hatch doesn't work anymore" and then the zerg proceeds to hold 14 hatch perfectly fine every game rofl. He's really good but he also just bases too much on his own skill and experience and acts like he knows all. | ||

And also, like I said, he tends to have 'hipster reasoning', he seems to fall for 'this is original / not done before, thus it is good.' a lot, the only reason he thinks 2base colossus is bad is because it's trite, and then he tries to come up with justifications like costs and transitions which are really ill-argued to justify his hipsterosity. Note that I also don't 2base colossus or colossus that much at all really for the exact same reason, it's trite, I like to be different, but I'm not going to pretend that this build used by high class players like Tester who play with huge amounts of money on the line is actually 'bad', and I'd probably use it more if there were money on the line for me too. | ||

His understanding of the game is undeniably good and he'd probably make an excellent coach for just about anyone, but that doesn't mean that his level of play is at the very top level. Well we at least know that he's in masters, and we know that he is still buddies / practice partners with some great players. Is he at the "very top level"? Perhaps with practice he could be. From my understanding, Day[9] doesn't want to reveal any information about his playing because he feels it would change how people judge him as a caster. The rumours that he might start playing again when he's finished at university are intriguing though, as that means if/when we DO see Day9 playing again he's going to be hotsauce :D I'd LOVE to see a shoutcaster tournament (though who would cast it....?) - I'd pay good money to see Husky get hulksmashed  | ||

He's really a person I think I can hang out with though, the way he likes trolls, how he never gets angry, the way he responded in the thread about TSL2 abusers, I like people who don't have a large sense of 'justice' and are hard to get angry and just brush it off.I'd LOVE to see a shoutcaster tournament (though who would cast it....?) - I'd pay good money to see Husky get hulksmashed But really, his balance insinuations which are often due to his own terrible misunderstanding of the game tend to be some-what annoying. ('phoenices don't counter vikings, you need void rays, as they do bonus damage to armoured', WOT?) | ||

Yeah exactly. He also comes across as a person who just enjoys acting and being perceived smart which bites him in the ass when he acts way too sure and then is proven wrong. Personally I think it makes the cast more entertaining, so it's all good and maybe intentional, but he does in fact make bad calls all the time. | ||

Ofc both Tasteless, Artosis, Day9, InControL are on another level, but they're all former pro's that switched or partially switched to commentating | ||
