Some constructive criticism for tasteless? - Page 23

I don't agree, and, actually, I hate Artosis's casting instead for sounding cocky and interrupting Tasteless.
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".

I'm a big fan of tastosis, but does anybody else find tasteless slightly inexperienced as a caster?
(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.

Who actually gets offended by the mention of sex?
