99.9% of the people love tastosis. Why are we wasting our time arguing this?

I've always thought Tastosis are not professional and way too repetitive. They always commentate in a joking style and use the word "like" frequently since they don't have the ability to do play-by-play with proper grammar. People like them not because they're professional nor good casters, but because of fanboyism. That's the way the community works.

To me, a true caster is the one that does play-by-play talk with a professional radio voice and language like that of TotalBiscuit or HDstarcraft. A commentator is the one who gives opinion about the game based on his knowledge, not biased like Artosis. For example, Poltprime executed his games against Alicia perfectly, but Artosis made it to be like they were cheesy and even recommended viewers not to watch those games. Just because your mom "Alicia" loses to Polt and Polt's past comment about Jinro, doesn't mean you have to downplay Polt that much when the "cheesier" player was always Alicia since he did sneaky voidrays and DT in early game all the time.

If I were GOMtv and Artosis recommends viewers not to watch their games, I would've fired Artosis for sure. What kind of employee recommend others not to buy his employer's product.

If this community prefers fanboyism over professionalism, then I don't think the foreign SC scene would go anywhere. Only being professional and hire professional casters and commentators would push the scene to a professional level. If you look at Korean caster and commentators and real sports castings in the US, they all have single caster with a radio voice and one or two non-biased commentators. Tastosis are super biased and nonprofessional. Just think about Clide, Alicia, Inca. Then think about BitByBit, Polt, TheBest.

Your job is to be professional and non-biased, not going after and praising someone's butt and spreading hates on the ones you don't like.

There's nothing wrong with Tasteless if Artosis is co-casting with him.

Tasteless was a lot better back when he was casting the avaratec intel classics for BW. Don't get me wrong, he is still very good, but back then he was amazing. He was so passionate about the game and was very knowledgeable about what every player was doing.

His knowledge base will probably increase as the game matures, but I would really like to see him get his old passion back.

We had a topic like this in the first season of the GSL, since then they've improved to the point we're they are perfectly fine. I would not have tasteless in any other way.

The good news is that Tasteless will never ever see this thread.

It is my undying eternal wish to someday have the chance to buy Nick beers for casting exactly the way he does without changing a single thing.

If its not fun I dont want it.

Tasteless is amazing as is, if anything we need more insight on tasteless ladder games and how he is stealing nerds ladder points.

The only somewhat relevant point you make is not even explicitly stated as it should be. Yes, Tasteless could probably broaden his vocabulary. However, this is true for every single caster out there. It is not as easy as you think.

I watch SC2 for the entertainment value.
Therefore, to me, a good caster is one that is entertaining.
These two are very fun to listen to and watch, and therefore entertaining, and good casters.

Did you ever consider that the "fanboyism" resulted from them being so entertaining, not the other way around?

If its anything he should learn.. its to stop saying "expect gg any moment".. "this game is over" and all similar lines. I cant believe he still says its..

Last gsl (not the supertournament) I tuned into the finals just to hear "this is gg". Turned off the stream again and played ladder.. Im raging so hard everytime I hear it..

For the love of god.. Good players can see for them selves when its GG..
Bad players dont want to hear its gg. They are there for the excitement. And saying "this game is over" pretty much kills ANY excitement.... even if its obviously gg.

Professionnal and serious you said? :D

Tasteless and Artosis love the game and try to make us love it too. i don't care if they have their favorites, i just want to see passionates guys talking about their passion (the game). We are watching gsl to have fun and some exciting moments, not to be bored by looking at 2 serious guys casting some serious content imho.
They make mistakes for sure, but who doesn't?

This is when my PBU alarm went off. Why am I not surprised it was accurate?

Honestly, at this stage I feel that Tastosis can do no wrong. Their casting is excellent and absolutely hilarious.
