He really needs to start telling us again on how he steals nerds points on the ladder. Also I want to hear a lot more on how Artosis plays custom games with this pro gamers friends. Those jokes never got old  | ||

Throwing out these facts isn't going to hurt anybody. What exactly makes you think that your opinions on Tasteless' casting qualify as "facts"? | ||

One of my friends and myself make ladder point jokes sometimes. They're like chuck norris jokes, but better! | ||

The excessive premature gg's also have to go. It's annoying and only adds negativity to the cast, especially when the player makes a comeback. Other than that, everything else is great. His positives definitely makes up for his weaknesses though, and mostly because Artosis is there. They really do make a good pairing but there is some room for improvement. | ||

I watch to be entertained, and he's fucking hilarious, I don't care what the naysayers think. He's a genius, and he plays off of Artosis perfectly. He is a true baller of the TL community, and if you think you have some major criticism then go become a caster and take his job. Here's a pro tip, you won't be able to, and neither will anyone else, because Tasteless is irreplaceable. Don't act like a caster can't improve some aspects of his casting without still being a funny guy, off-topic, or entertaining. No one is saying for him to change to a MrBitter analytical commentator. | ||

It's like he pigeon hole'd himself to be really bare bones and basic for the "nubs" and often sounds like a broken record. If his SC2 knowledge was as good as others like Artosis, Day9, Gretorp, Incontrol etc than their casts will be a lot more interesting, to an already dynamic duo. I would say the Archon would be perfect! So instead of always resorting to recycled stale jokes & often really generalized statements about the game like "He is so good", "That game was so good", "He plays a lot different than other players" to kill dead air time, he can actually go in-depth with what he means and maybe even argue with Artosis about the game every once in awhile. Maybe he wouldn't stutter "uh" a million times when trying to explain something as well. The excessive premature gg's also have to go. It's annoying and only adds negativity to the cast, especially when the player makes a comeback. Totally agree with everything said here. Sometimes I wonder if he's even really watching the game or if he's too worried about thinking of something witty to say. For example, the last time I wached GSL live a few days ago during the Alicia vs Polt match, a probe was harassing the scv building the first barracks. Polt did a good job switching off building scvs so as to not lose ANY scvs to the probe. But all I could hear in the background was Tasteless commenting on how the probe had two or three kills and was really messing Polt up...wtf? In reality he did hardly any damage at all. The knee to the groin was the third or fourth time Tasteless mentioned how many kills the probe had, the observer clicked on the probe to see it had a whopping zero kills. I've always been a huge fan of Tastetosis but that last GSL cast I saw/heard just really irked me... Thankfully Artosis has been consistently awesome imo. | ||

If you watch old BW games commentated by Tastosis its very different. They changed their style for the GSL to be more of a balanced casting duo, with one providing the analysis and the other focusing more on just being entertaining. It works perfectly. | ||

On Tasteless as a caster, I think he's a perfectly good caster. While not as good as Day9, DJWheat, Artosis, or MrBitter, he's definitely better than Gretorp/InControl and the other random people that cast various tournaments. The one sad thing to note is that being a BW fan for so long, I watched him cast BW for quite a while, and it's pretty noticeable that he 1) doesn't have the knowledge of SC2 that he did of BW and 2) he doesn't quite have the passion for SC2 that he did for BW. | ||
