Some elitist nerds out there may not want sc2 to go mainstream but seriously becoming mainstream means better games, bigger tournaments and probably even live tv for sc2?(finger crossed). That being said i am a big fan of tartosis , I know its not easy taking a somewhat unorthodox profession in life to do the things that you love keep up the good work!. | ||

Oftentimes Artosis will try to make Tasteless sound like he's gloating. For example, "no one's better at laddering than you, Tasteless". I know it's sarcasm, but he does this so much. Artosis also has the habit of adding "Tasteless" at the end of every other sentence. It sounds cocky. It sounds like he's talking to a child. "That is quite true, Tasteless." "Indeed that is true, Tasteless." "And that will do a lot of damage, Tasteless." "You know, Tasteless, ...." He does this way more frequently than other casters. I do hear Tasteless giving analysis on the game, but Artosis' demeanor and Tasteless' humility can exaggerate the perception that "Artosis is so smart about SC2" and "Tasteless doesn't know what he's talking about". You do realize that adding the name is meant to indicate that he's done talking, right? Artosis for me personally is by far the best caster currently. Nobody gets this genuinely excited as he does and is as hilarious at it at the same time. http://www.gomtv.net/2011gslsponsors3/vod/65228 Look at this VoD and tell me otherwise. | ||

If you have kids and don't want them hearing about sex ... well anyone under 13 shouldn't be playing SC2 anyways... and if you're worried about anyone over 13 hearing about sex, you fail as a parent and as a person. | ||

To the OP, maybe to strengthen your case you could point to specific VOD's that would show what you're talking about. Also, I remember hearing Tasteless say he stays away from the TL forums. I skimmed through this thread so if anything above does not hold true please don't hurt me ^^ | ||

On the topic of "Tasteless interrupting Artosis" thing is a bit unfounded. It is evident that an event occurred where you believe Artosis was saying something important and then Tasteless interrupted him with something less important. Well if that is truly the case than nothing stopped Artosis from continuing. So if anything it's Artosis's fault for not simply continuing to convey his thought to the audience. | ||

(inexperienced as in, making rookie mistakes, not his actual experience) I don't know about him being commentator in bw, but from the gsl's i noticed he's 1.) overly repetitive in diction- for example "he's so SOLID", "he's playing so GOOD", "it's going to be so COOL". I don't understand why he can't use... more descriptive words whenever he's trying to add something to the cast. Not only that, he just constantly overuses these words, making him sound like a broken record sometimes. It's weird since he seems quite articulate in casual settings. 2.) cuts Artosis off too frequently, at the wrong times -only to add "he's so GOOD" Artosis is the commentator, let him get technical with his part, and cut him off when u have to (ie when something happens on the map). 3.) needs to be more PROFESSIONAL -I'm not even talking about the eating and drinking during matches. i don't think this "relaxed mindset" during casting is so detrimental to the event,,, but.. - Please don't mention "sex" on-air again, or at least not say the word so downright. 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? **THIS DOES NOT MEAN he should stop fooling around and start casting seriously. the Lax casting is a part of his charm, for the billionth time i've mentioned. Needing more professionalism DOESNT mean they need to stop being hilarious. I know i might come off sounding too critical, but i realized Tastosis is and will most likely be the "voice" of starcraft 2 (for the foreigners, at least). Both casters are very likable, and i would like nothing more than the very best, since i'm one of those people who watches GSL's due to entertainment value i get from listening to you guys. Thanks **To the people who obviously is being overprotective of our casters, realize that this is NOTHING personal. Throwing out these facts isn't going to hurt anybody. I'm a huge fan of Tastosis and i agree with most of the OP. There is room to improve, repeating some catchy phrases over and over again and cutting off with irrelevant comment happens to every caster, but i also noticed it on regular basis with Tasteless. Anyway <3 Nick  Who actually gets offended by the mention of sex? People get offended by NOT typing GG... (also learn to fucking read, OP didn't say that it's offensive to anyone. God please learn to read.) | ||

The fu*k cares how tasteless acts, theres a reason he's so poppular bro. **To the people who obviously is being overprotective of our casters, realize that this is NOTHING personal. Throwing out these facts isn't going to hurt anybody. This isnt facts, this is just you ranting about some guy you apperantly dislike. tosis and tasteless are the last 2 persons in the sc2 scene that need to change. | ||
