Does anyone know the full sex joke Tasteless made and the context he made it in? Just curious because I can't imagine him fitting a joke about sex into a SC2 cast without it being slightly odd/inappropriate.

I disagree with everything to be honest. Sure not everyone is perfect but nothing of that ever bothered me and Tastosis are so good because they're being themselves.

i disagree with every point you mention. if you have a problem him mentioning ONCE the big secret to human society called sex you should mute GSL.

Seriously, do you actively search for things that can annoy you just to come here and create a thread about it?

you' re not gonna get support here...tasteless and artosis is one of the biggest reasons i watch gsl. i stopped watching code a when moletrap and doa casted.

well for me artosis is the reason i like "tastosis" doesn't really matter who the other one is could be someone else no problem for me. but you can't really criticize tasteless in a place like this...he could shit on the mic 24/7 and still be the best dude on earth cos he was "so awesome in bw".

The moment I read the title of this thread I knew how 50% of the answers would look like: tasteless was so good in bw sind 200x, so he obv is still perfect...

I already mentioned my criticism for tasteless many times, but yeah, it's ridiculous to talk about this on tl.
Don't 100% agree with the OP. Especially the professional thing: Good, experienced casters don't have to always sound professional, thats kind of what makes them "less boring".
And no matter how much I have criticism for nick: Tastosis are still funny and yes, they are an important factor for why the GSL is still fun...

But: I largely agree with points 1 and 2...
Still what I think is more important is his lack of knowledge about the game. And imho that's the reason why he repeats so often... and why he just repeats whatever artosis just said (or started to say when nick cuts him off).

Anyways... Tastosis is prob the best duo out there and I mentioned it in the MLG thread: I had the feeling that Nick improved really fast lately with a great performance at MLG - so I'm confident that we'll see an even better Tastosis in the future (which seems to be almost impossible)

Disagree with everything. If he wanted constructive criticism, he would ask for it. Stop expecting perfection and just be appreciative we have such great people promoting esports.

Oh my god tasteless, what are you doing to the community?You lost your passion for SC!
Say NO to tasteless! we want no more tasteless!!!!!!

Seriously guys, tasteless is one sick nerd baller, i prefer tastosis over ANY other duo on SC2 right now. I think they are doing an absolute fabulous job and shouldnt change a thing about it.
lets be honest, people love em for what they do NOW. i watch every cast to do even if it at 4a.m..
Tasteless Hwaiting!

And this pretty much sum up my thoughts on this thread. Tasteless is a great caster imo ^^ Sometimes with the things they discuss I think "are they allowed to talk about this?" and I can see where you're coming from in a sense but personally I don't see how anything he says could be offensive to anyone.

I think the main problem Tastosis has as a casting duo is their bias towards a certain race or a certain player they feel are "favored" to win.

He's a funny, charismatic guy and has great chemistry with Artosis but he doesn't bring much to the table other than humour. I get the impression he doesn't watch a single minute of SC2 outside of the games he's paid to cast and if it wasn't his job he wouldn't watch those either. There's a stark contrast between his BW casts where he was actually well informed on the game and the players in it and SC2 where he appears to be completely ignorant of both. In my opinion he knows far less about SC2 and specifically the SC2 scene than someone like DJWheat, whose skill may be lacking but who has a genuine passion for the game, unlike Tasteless.

As far as the sex thing goes, I don't really give a fuck.

They were doing their usual tastosis banter in the early stages of a game, and the topic of cramps came up, and tasteless said something like "You ever get a foot cramp during sex? That's like the flat tire of sex".

I am so astonished that anyone would actually be offended by this. Unbelievable.

I almost completely disagree with the OP; tasteless is very experienced in casting, and if people didn't like his casting universally, he would not be landing so many good jobs. And don't credit only to Artosis, Tasteless is a big part of the duo as well.
