How do you expect to fit so much ppl in there small studio?

HSC managed to do it in a basement, why cant MLG?

Aren't Day[9] and Husky very expensive to hire as casters (especially for live events)? I'd rather the money go elsewhere.
Don't know how expensive they are even though I would guess it's not cheap to get day9 but I assume husky can be really valuable if he promotes the events on his youtube channel. Having that said I have no idea if he wants to use his channel for promoting big tournaments or ppv events.

Don't be an idiot. We both know the gained viewers from featuring tastosis more than makes up for the expenses to bring them over. 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.

I agree that I'm in the minority as far as Tastosis goes.

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.

Personally I like new combinations because I can honestly say I'm pretty tired of tastosis even though I like both of them as casters. I would rather see artosis/husky, tastless/apollo or whatever interesting combos. Standard caster + a player always seem to work great as well.
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.

I thought a lot of ppl liked Rob Simpson after his performance casting with Artosis and crew.

Nice they got Tastosis, but I hope this doesn't mean that they won't be able to cast the GSL semifinals two days later.


I did not think of this, omg. If I have to listen to moletrap in the goddamn SEMIFINALS I'm not gonna be impressed

Day9 was probably asking to be paid a ridiculous amount of money just like at the last Dreamhack. I think it was around like 20k+ rofl.

Really dissapointed that Rob Simpson will be casting. He doesn't seem to know much in terms of a pro level of analysis and his casting is really vanilla. Wasn't planning on paying 20 bucks before, and with no Day9, there's no chance.
Do, or do not, there is no try...

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.
