Without guys like that a Starcraft 2 community which we have today would simply NOT exist. He has vast Brood War knowledge and I love both him and Day9. No question he's done great things for the community. But can you deny he has very little SC2 knowledge? He says "good decision," "bad decision," as well as various repeats of things Artosis had just said or has said in the past. | ||

Personally I think they could cut back on a few dirty jokes and things like that, but they should keep the playful relaxed tone and the friendliness. | ||

It's frustrating because veryfew understand the bw castors, but they've been casting for a good 10 years and even they don't sound repetitive. If you can't do that, you're just not good enough with language. Note that i've never complained about artosis, cuz he is NOT repetitive as a broken record. In fact, repetitive is good in instances, like "SO MANY BANELINGS", cuz that's kinda artosis' trademark thing, and everyone (including me) love it. But overusing the same diction over and over is like a bad essay that uses the same word a 100 times. | ||

Sure they are not a bad team, but they are definitely not as good as some people pretend them to be. Their jokes are getting so repetitive that it's frankly becoming embarassing... the tasteless secret highway, the casting archon, the "so many banelings" and so on... Sure it's hard to comment every single day and have fresh jokes all the time, but no one is asking them to try to be funny all the time. And I also do not like when they are trying to act cool by telling what they like to eat, like in a Tarantino's movie ... Although contrary to the OP, I don't believe that the show should aim at more mature people... I've no statistics but to me t's crystal clear that 95% of those interested in SC2 professional play are 14-26 years old, so you have to attract that audience rather than trying to increase the other 5%... | ||

Doesn't make much sense as the scene grew tenfold from broodwar, meaning most of the viewers didn't watch them in a previous game. I think the reason they're so popular is because they got a laid back and funny yet analytical approach to the game, something very few manage to combine well. | ||

Every caster has some measure of repetitiveness, I agree, I've noticed it with Tasteless as of late but that's because he casts so fucking much. As for everything else including the sex thing, it's been touched on already, this isn't Spongebob Squarepants, mentions of "sex" and other suggestive content are perfectly acceptable and age appropriation for the content of the foreign cast. | ||

Thanks, i appreciate it. But i do like tastosis' jokes. Im one of the few who only tuned into the super tournament when tastosis was there... Except wolf is pretty good too. I just can't stand moletrap, to the point where i'm not watching the nestea vs bomber match, just cuz i can't listen to him. | ||

Thank you for focusing on a sentence of the op instead of commenting on the whole message it was conveying. The thought put into some posts never cease to amaze... Overall however I just think the only thing holding Tastosis back is Tasteless' game knowledge. It's clear he doesn't play much, but then again, without Tasteless what is Tastosis? Artosis, that's what it is... (thought I had something going there but  ) | ||

"Sex" is not a bad word and should not be frowned upon. Its not like he repeatedly sits there and pulls dirty jokes. Keep Tasteless tasteless! | ||

(thought I had something going there but )As a critic of tastless, i think that's ok. I actually think he needs to embrace his role more, which is being the caster. Artosis is the encyclopedia, he should be fine by himself. I dunno about you guys, but lately tasteless has been TRYING to sound more knowledgable, and trying to talk about more of the advanced stuff. I dunno why he would feel in such a way, cuz i think it's better for him to embrace the role of being the color commentator.

If not broken, it doesn't need fixing. But some of the stuff tasteless does is a bit noticable. | ||

Really though I am sick of people mentioning the whole "for ESPORTS!" thing. Now that is played out too much and sounds like a broken record. A big reason why I watch is because of how he and Artosis casts right now. Ever thought it might hurt "esports" if they were boring ass casters? | ||

If you only have artosis, you'll have 1 boring show. You cannot have 2 people spewing knowledge at you. The reason tastosis works so well is because they have chemistry. One spews knowledge while the other makes it enjoyable. I'd fall asleep if I was listening to 2 people analyzing the game. Pro sc2 is entertainment, not a college lecture. They both have flaws when they're solo. When they're together they're great. Fwiw, Tasteless is actually the better half of the archon for me. Artosis gives me knowledge, tasteless gives me a good time (no homo). I'm watching sc2 to have a good time and to learn. | ||
