Having that said I have no idea if he wants to use his channel for promoting big tournaments or ppv events. Aren't Day[9] and Husky very expensive to hire as casters (especially for live events)? I'd rather the money go elsewhere. | ||

Not having them literally guarantees no one will watch. Not everybody is crazy about Tastosis. I personally don't think they're the best of the best out there. I tend to prefer casters who keep a closer eye on the player scene they represent (i.e. Korea) and while I understand they're both busy individuals with lives outside of casting, I find it very unappealing that half the time they aren't even up to date/correct on happenings within the GSL. | ||

You would be a minority in that case. I'm pretty sure Tastosis is like a 5~10k viewer swing on a free stream, though I don't know what it means in a pay environment :o | ||

As far as drawing crowds go, I think Husky or Day[9] would be just as great as Tastosis. I personally love Day[9] with DJWheat, possibly my favorite duo at MLG events. In terms of my personal favorite casters, I really like Wolf/Khaldor as a pair, I think they complement eachother well. Lone Wolf is great as well. I'm also a huge fan of Orb from the ESV Korean Weekly, as well as (biased here) Katu from the KSL and the EWM. On February 15 2012 12:02 Waxangel wrote: You would be a minority in that case.

Don't get me wrong, I find their casts very enjoyable, and they work amazingly together, I just don't see the allure that merits bringing them over from Korea for every event. | ||

I'm not picky at all personally but I seem to get tired of the standard caster combos a lot more easily than most people. I do feel kind of burned out on day9 "in any caster combo" though. | ||

Way to respond by saying something that was completely irrelevant to his point lol. Your personal preference is irrelevant to the question of whether it was financially wise to fly Tastosis in. | ||
