Why shouldn't he mention sex? While I partially agree with Tyler about using words like rape, the bare act of mentioning sex is hardly something offensive.

Tasteless is the worst caster for the reasons OP mentioned.

I know why the OP made the title to this thread the way it is. I think he's just giving his honest assessment, and everyone can do the same, but let us at least be respectful of each person's POV. I love tastosis' casting style, but at the same time I find that there is nothing wrong with giving a little constructive criticism. Who knows, they're awesome now, but maybe if we focus on giving them a bit of constructive criticism (which is what the OP wanted this thread to be about) instead of bashing the OP for his POV, they'd be even better. If you think they're perfect, then no need to post anything, in my opinion. He's not bashing tasteless. He's just giving suggestions, which tasteless may or may not follow given his own assessment of the matter (assuming he sees this post).

You do know that Tasteless is one of the, if not the, most experienced English starcraft caster in the world? The way he casts is his style and what makes him so appealing as a caster.

Tasteless isn't perfect (and neither is Artosis), but his imperfection is what makes the casting duo perfect. They're just two guys giving entertaining analysis and coverage of some really high-level games.

When I watch GSL, I wish I could be friends with Tastosis, and if I'm getting that vibe, I think they're doing the best job they could possibly do.

Artosis and Tasteless fits like Penut Butter and Jelly, if tastless goes then.. i dont know man i might even take extreme measures even to quit watching GSL.
Sure maybe Artosis speaks more professionally as a caster but having these two together casting is entertaining and factual.

I think Tasteless developed to the guy who explains stuff for the people who don't know much about StarCraft while Artosis explains stuff for the advanced StarCraft players.

That's why it might seem Tasteless is repetitive in his dicition.

Tasteless is a awesome and funny caster. Him and Artosis mesh very well together. Yes, he may want to use a little more variety in vocabulary (all casters should) and sometimes he does repeat what Artosis says. But his unique, relaxed casting style works very well and many times his analysis comes true even when Artosis would disagree with him initially.

(one great example was when it was a protoss blink stalkers versus Zerg on Scrap Station and Tasteless said the zerg needed a spine at his natural otherwise he would lose. Artosis disagreed with him saying he can hold it off without one. Turns out the zerg needed that spine to hold it off.)

Can't really say I agree with your concerns, what irks me about tasteless is the constant hyperbole and the mindless ability to instantly go from player x-is the best into player y-is-the-king-of-the-world over the course of a single game.

I disagree. He is a total baller and the relaxed mindset bring MORE people to the e-sport. If they're going to be all super cereal and not talk abit between matches and be abit funny everything is going to be so dry and not as interesting. The casters are interesting aswell as the match if you take away the interesting casters you've lost half the cake right there.

He's a great caster, but the repetition etc will always be the elephant in the room until Tasteless improves his knowledge of SC2. I love it when he talks about BW, he turns into another person because he knows the game.

This is a terrible topic simply because, as others have pointed out, none of the points are really valid at all.

Holy shit. Are there actually people complaining about the best casters in the SC2 community? Constructive criticism? Sure, I'm positive Tastosis will gladly take it if it's reasonable. This is just straight bitching and moaning. If you seriously have the time and urge to sit down to write a paragraph why these two aren't "good for e-sports", unplug your computer, put on your shoes, and get the fuck out of the house. Get a life. Seriously, this is pathetic.

Tasteless actually has more experience than Artosis by about a year in casting... but it just seems that Tasteless has hardly any knowledge of the game compared to Artosis or anyone who actually plays the game regularly, as I don't think he really plays the game anymore tbh.

He is constantly pointing out the obvious, or when he trys to be analytical he is corrected by Artosis

But they're funny so no harm done.
