I feel like the majority of people who disagree are people who say that GOMtv should "Get Husky to cast these games" (I think we can all agree that we do not want that at all). Tasteless knows the game very well and frankly, while he may not be the most professional caster, he's enjoyable to listen to.
personally I thought husky and day9 were an awesome caster-team in the TSL.
Tasteless if you read that thread made by this 5-poster, don't listen, for one guy like this there are 100 that want you to keep it your way.
EDIT ; I laughed so many times in front of my computer listening to some Tasteless jokes. What's the point of asking him to get more serious ? Laughing is pretty good, i heard.
Don't change anything tasteless. They are a big part of why I even watch the GSL. They are the best casting duo ever. They just make every single game better to watch.

Exactly!!! We need Tasteless to be fun as he is right now.
I think that sometimes when Artosis and Tasteless get comfortable they can fool around (like the used to in Code A matches) and such. When you look at jobs they can like at MLG where large number of NA fans are watching (that might not know them) they are super serious and good casters.
I agree, sex should never be mentioned again. In fact, the word and those with similar meanings should be outlawed, with the end goal of humanity forgetting how to reproduce. If that's a taboo in South Korea, I suppose it's working as South Korea's birth rate is the lowest in the whole world :-)
Sarcasm aside, how touchè are you OP?
came to mind while reading your post. It's Dawkins with a few stellar points about the likes of people spending energy being offended by trivial matters.

Esports is still largely unaccepted in society, even in korea (i'm a korean, so i know). If you don't act to the bare minimum on one of esports premier events, how do you expect people to start taking this sport seriously?
What has sex ever done to you? Without sex you wouldn't be here.
I actually like Tasteless way better than Artosis. Love his strange jokes. I don't agree with the OP, but can someone please tell Tasteless that you cannot "implore a strategy." I think you're going for employ, but I dunno. That's my only complaint about the man.
it feels wrong that this thread has reached 15 pages, it somehow construes that we're having a serious discussion about the suggestions in the original post. and theres no flame war so it hasnt been closed yet. feels bad man
vyyye I brought up your post count because its five times mine and I believe I should take that into account when questioning what you say. You didn't just blow in here from the bnet forums and LULZ MARINES ARE SO OP WHENS THE REOVOLUTION!>! crap, you've posted here a lot and I respect that. I was saying that I'm hesitant to call you out on this but I'm going to anyway.
And this is what I'm saying. Are you actually reading the thread? Because despite the usual amount of fluff and bullshit comments most people, you and I being among them, are in agreement that Tasteless offending someone has nothing to do with Tasteless. But your approach is a little less constructive and more confrontational.
Yes, Tasteless is a better caster than Husky and his name is fucking Tasteless. If you are surprised by a comment about sex then I'll patiently explain the definition of the word. (^This is directed at the thread and not vyyye^)
I personally agree with 1 to some degree, but I think that's part of his charm - the continuity between each cast makes it feel like tastosis. Nearly every caster has this in common with Tasteless - it's pretty damn difficult to stop saying things you're used to saying, especially when you're live on air and don't want to fuck up!
2 and 3 I disagree with. Occasionally he repeats things Artosis has previously said like they're new material, but he's only human and every caster makes mistakes.
Still my favourite caster, still a talented, experienced caster. This being said, I think he's got a bit more lax with his casting in the past month or 2? Perhaps he needs to have a few less nights on the razz.

I love his unprofessional-ism and his jokes and with Artosis he is one half of the defining voice of Starcraft 2. That's why people care so much. Honestly, I don't think it's his fault. It's SC2.
Sadly, there's a distinct lack of critical minds in this thread!
Quoting for truth, as they say. Tasteless has very little actual SC2 knowledge, and it shows. In fact, if it wasn't Tasteless, it would piss me off. I would be surprised if it didn't bother Artosis a bit also.
Is Tasteless still an awesome person and a fairly entertaining caster? Yes.

Very little knowledge ? What the hell ? Tasteless is a former pro gamer, brother of day9. Without guys like that a Starcraft 2 community which we have today would simply NOT exist.
Disagree with everything completely except maybe the sex thing. I think casters probably shouldn't be talking about sex and using vulgarities. I don't really mind Tasteless being Tasteless -- that's what makes their casting duo so good.
I somewhat agree with your points especially number 1. His casting quality changed a lot since his days in BW in my opinion. He used to be more insightful, analytical and funny. =(
EPT
Without sex you wouldn't be here.
