 But on a more serious note that was a great write up and as always I'm impressed with FXO as a team and Boss as a person. The dedication you put into the community is huge and hope you get rewarded for it in the future. Also how will competeing in Korea work (if it will at all) once everyone moves into the house? Will Sheth/Moonglade be living there as well? Does FXO plan on competing in the next season of GSTL? | ||

They couldn't just say TOP was the better player in the series or he outplayed him? Since Tastosis is so popular their opinion affects how they react to the player, so a lot of people also started bashing TOP. I may sound like a TOP fanboy with this post... well good because I am one. This, this ...so much this. A lot of people behave like sheep having no opinions of their own, and choose to blindly parrot whatever tastosis say on the stream, the recent games between Zenio and Hongun being a prime example. On the other hand, Clide is on of the most overrated players ever to exist on the face of earth, but whenever he does the smallest thing Tastosis start drooling all over him, and a bunch of sheep just blindly spam the LR thread with the same opinion. At this point I don't know who I am angry at...Tastosis for their biased commentary style, or the sheep who infest the LR thread on every GSL playday. | ||

As for Clide... I'm pretty sure Tastosis's comments about Clide are mostly in good humor. Clide is like an ongoing joke from the first open season of GSL. (I don't mean that Clide is a joke player. Its just that Tasteless and Artosis have so much fun saying his name :p) | ||

The Clide thing is partly a joke if you hadn't realized. | ||

I personally like Tastosis casting but I do often wonder what their Korean counterparts are saying. The Korean casters seem to have a lot more to say and I wonder if they would be willing to share some of their prepared material with the English casters. As for Clide... I'm pretty sure Tastosis's comments about Clide are mostly in good humor. Clide is like an ongoing joke from the first open season of GSL. (I don't mean that Clide is a joke player. Its just that Tasteless and Artosis have so much fun saying his name :p) Korean commentators tend to start off the match by letting the viewers in on the recent games each players played, commentating on their mental state/attitude heading into the game, discussing builds players are likely to go for based on their play style and other factors. Commentators always have high certainty when they discuss builds, and have a very good measure of how the players' builds stack up. They are very good at pointing out key points to watch out for, and they do throw in small jokes from time to time. I have to say Korean commentators are more knowledgeable then English ones (even Tastosis.. as much as I love those two) and are more professional. They certainly have a huge upper hand when they are discussing player details and their recent history. The quality of English commentating has been going up steadly, and I hope they can reach higher level. | ||

I think much of the problems foreign casters have when filling time comes down to a lack of preparedness. If the casters watched half as much Starcraft as I do, or even just spent more time researching players' histories with one another, making greater efforts to pre-interview players before matches to get their thoughts, etc., then they would have so much to talk about that having to fill time with bad jokes would never be something that arised. Day9 for example is one of the few casters that knows how to seemlessly integrate his knowledge about the players into his casting. Now that he has no time obligations involved with school, I think we will see him rise far above the rest in terms of professionalism and player knowledge. It is easily apparent for an astute GSL watcher to glean the fact that Tasteless does not watch much if any SC2 outside of the games he casts. I cannot remember a time where his knowledge about a particular player was impressive, other than the rare times that he and Artosis take the opportunity to speak to a player before a match. Artosis, while clearly watching a large amount of SC2 outside the GSL, does not integrate this into his casting nearly enough, which could be down to a simple memory problem that could be corrected with more time devoted to research before each match. | ||

I love what FXO has done, really I do, but posts like this one just perpetuate something that really should bother more people. The idea that you put behind this is basically that unless you go to korea or practice the korean way you will never be good. Of course thats a generalization of the idea, but I'm just sick of this and I expect more from a team that genuinely seems interested in being a top tier competitor. Look at every sport the US competes in. Literally, every sport. Do track/soccer/football/basketball/baseball/swimming/archery/cycling/fencing/volleyball (etc...) athletes that come from U.S.A. sit at home half assing their practice and wax poetically about how if they were in ______ (insert country here) they would be soo much better? No, they absolutely do not. They practice their ass off WHERE THEY ARE, developing new techniques and learning off of like minded individuals. They know they will get better not because of where they are but because they have dedicated themselves to doing so. Starcraft pros continue to basically use where they practice as a crutch to their success. This is simply not the case, but a mere excuse and a pathetic one at that. I do plan to follow this EG team house with great interest. I think if their is any one individual who recognizes this it is incontrol. He knows this house could be just what it takes to push EG's skills into that "korean level." I wasn't a fan of his at first and I still don't think hes the greatest, but I know he WILL work at it and I only hope his enthusiasm and dedication is contagious to those of you who live outside Korea believing the thing that is holding you back is not living there. And yes, I fully expect no one to agree with me. It's the easiest thing to do. /rant | ||
