My personal criticism of Tasteless is not really what's mentioned in the op, but rather his lack of game knowledge. I only state this criticism because I think it would his casts with Artosis greatly. It is painfully obvious in almost every game tasteless casts that he has a fundamental lack of understanding of high level sc2. Just one example out of hundreds would claiming that byun was really outplaying genius in their antiga shipyard game after byun did a minor drop that killed 2 probes and genius had messed up the pathing on his colossi a couple times (but no consequences had come of it). Of course later in the game byun did far outplay genius, but at that point it was too early to tell. And that's not even an egriegous example. I would be shocked if tasteless plays more than a couple games a month, if that. I just have to cringe several times EVERY GAME when he says something that so fundamentally misses the mark. Now, you might argue that Tasteless is meant to be a play by play caster, that his main draw is his sense of humor, and that he has mass cross-over appeal. But, he and Artosis are undeniably the premier casting duo and they are casting a complex game. Regardless of the role Tastless is meant to fill, he shouldn't be saying so many things that are just plain incorrect. The premier casting duo should have consistently competent casts and they should do their homework. Tasteless does neither and for the sake of making GSL casts even better than they are now, he should improve. | ||

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. That's a complete contradiction. What makes Tasteless (and Artosis) funny is the geeky humor. Geeky humor is not 'professional'. Geeky humor is not mainstream; it will put off anyone who is not a geek. If you want Tastosis to be professional, you're asking them to stop being geeky. | ||

Wolf and Khaldor has gone from bad, to ok, to good but they are still not as good as the casting archon, imo. | ||

Also people have really got to shut up about trying to make eSports grow really quickly, you can't force something, its just got to happen on its own. Think of singers that go on these horrid reality TV shows only to fade into obscurity a month or so later, if eSports will get big it wil just get big anyways, its not like its going to be some changes from some casters that will make eSports flourish. | ||

Just because YOU don't like it, thousands of others do. I just feel kinda sad and embrassed for Tasteless when seeing a thread with posts against him calling him "unprofessional" and that he interrupts Artosis at times I mean like come on, really? Can't you enjoy anything at all? If Tasteless retired from casting GOMTV a few of you angry nerds will cheer and be happy - But the 95% of us wouldn't. Tasteless if you're reading this don't listen to the few angry nerds who doesn't like you because you're "unprofessional" or whatever, keep doing your thing man cause there's a lot of people who enjoys and has fun watching you and Artosis - Sadly there's just always gonna be those few who has to whine about everything that annoys them, trolls if you like it? Thx for reading  | ||

The only thing thats a little off to me is that next to the analysis-giant Artosis, tasteless looks like a guy who doesnt know alot about the game. They should somehow make tasteless explain some more complicated strategies aswell, so it doesnt look so one-sided. The other casters have a lot more to improve on, and this constructive critisism for tasteless and artosis isnt even necessary. They clearly stand high above all other casters, and I think its hard to imagine any better unscripted casting than their unscripted casting. | ||

Tasteless may not be as well versed with the game as Artosis, but he has all the other qualities that make the cast entertaining, put any other person there and they have very little chemistry. | ||

One of the big problems though, is that the SC2 itself doesn't have that much to talk about a lot of the time. There is a lot of downtime and probably not enough strategy to discuss. There needs to be more constant action, or else it's like commentating baseball. | ||

I'm glad you posted your opinions on this and hopefully Tasteless notices that not everybody is happy with his casting and can make improvements. | ||

I wouldn't recommend changing any of the thing mentioned above, he's doing a great job and I've never noticed him cut off Artosis in any manner that's noticeable and detracts from the cast. Great job Tasteless, keep up the good work. Don't change a thing. This is an even less productive thing to say than OP's criticisms. On June 12 2011 15:26 Mordiford wrote: Ugh... I don't want to get into this sex thing, since that's been talked to death in the Casting Language Standards and similar threads but it just comes down to individual views of what's appropriate. I got a laugh out of that comment so I have no problem with it, there's plenty of content that could otherwise be objectionable that inherent to the game, filtering otherwise age appropriate content similar to that seems unnecessary to me. It's because it comes to individual views of what's appropriate that it's often a good idea to keep the casting in the lowest common denominator in terms of controversy. I don't particulary mind sex jokes on the GSL but I can see why people may think it's a good idea to keep them away from casting. | ||

Tasteless and Artosis are great casters, but Tasteless is not changing things up something Artosis is, to some extent anyways. Tastosis is still the best casting duo in SC2, but I'm going so far and saying that truly doesn't mean much atm. | ||
