Great read, except for the random criticism for US/Aus/Malaysia that slipped in ("Truth hurts."? lol, huh? ><) -- and, well, adding a third to Tastosis would truly be a shame. Stay positive FXO~

There's a reason nearly all major sports casters have two commentators. As it is, the best casters in our community are Tastosis and Day[9]. QXC was also very, very good and I'd like to see him done some skits with Day[9] himself.

I love your perspective on things though, especially from the Korean ladder which does appear to contribute significantly to those that play on it. A really unique perspective. Thank you

It simply wouldn't be possible to train that much every day in a physically demanding sport. Your body wouldn't have enough time to recover, so you would become overtrained and injure yourself.

FXOBoss I ♥ you! I don't know why so many ppl knock what you do, as far as I can see you break your back to make dreams come true for your team and that deserves some respect. I guess when you're new everybody thinks they're smarter/cooler/better than you. I'm glad you have the patience to press on because I think next year all these haters will all be huge FXO fanboys, running around trashing some new team as if their opinion matters for anything.

Thanks for the writeup FXOboss. I enjoyed reading about your experience thoroughly. Lol at tgun being a transvestite. Not that I'd want to cut into the FXO players' practice time or other responsibilities but it would be awesome if we could get some words from them about their personal experiences sometime later on.


Personal experiences? As far as I'm aware, I'm not a transvestite.

I don't really think you should be complaining about the Gom Studio on here. I think that if you have any complaints regarding health and safety, you should contact them directly.

Average read, thank you.

I'm glad to read FXOBoss had a positive experience with Korea. A lot of posters on TL were very critical when it was announced FXO would compete in the GSTL, but few people seemed to realize that results were not necessarily the most important aspect of this trip. Korea is still far ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to progaming, and they have a lot to teach us about the subject, especially about player training and team management. Even though FXO has yet to defeat a Korean team, I am sure that living and competing in Korea has taught them many invaluable lessons.

Hopefully FXO can translate these lessons into positive results in the future. Best of luck to the team!

As it isn't possible for an athlete to train for 10-12 hours a day due to physical limitations, it's also very impractical to train for 10-12 hours a day in Starcraft due to mental limitations. At the end of sessions, you end up not caring whether you win or lose, nor for your own improvement. In the same vein of thought, you stop attempting to build upon your strategy.

The crowd is minimal, this allows players to focus more on playing.

As for the crowd, it is minimal because people just don't come to gsl. It is not intended to keep the crowd minimal. That's the sad fact about korean sc2 scene.

edit: just edited quote part. not used to using quote.

BW is a very different game, where mechanics come first and strategy came second. SC2 mechanics cap is always going to be lower than the BW mechanics cap, thus it's more important to theorize new strategies. (This is all my opinion, just for anyone who is confused~)

Thirdly English casting.
Although 90% of the time the english cast is done well, there are a bunch of things that need to change. The cast needs to be more scheduled and less random. The crappy jokes need to stop (not the good ones, just the crappy ones). Heres a pointer, if you are laughing mid joke at your own joke, its probably not funny. It also needs to bring more insight into the game, more facts more figures and probably a 3rd person.

Well your going to be flamed for that one, IMO that is one of the things I love about tastosis
