This is my first SC2 Subtitle. (12:10 Reference) IMMORTAL = 불멸자 (BUL-MYUL-JAH) HIGH TEMPLAR = 고위기사 (GO-WEE-GI-SA) BUL + GO + GI = Korean BBQ, or Combination of Immortals and High Templars. Disclaimer: I do not have perfect grammar. I do not have expertise in subtitling. Original video was in alot better quality, but somehow turn out very very bad. lol... Never the less, hope you guys enjoy! | ||

I think grubby currently gives similarly engaging commentary from the point of view of a gamer which is why i find him so much more enjoyable than everyone else commentating in english currently. Yea, TheMarine and Nal_rA IIRC they practice as much as the players do. I remember TheMarine saying he coldcasts replays for hours trying to determine which builds each player goes for, and gets it right 90% of the time or something. He's also that accurate in casting real games. Foreigner casters have a long way to go before catching up to Korean casters xd | ||

Interesting to see the differences in casting style between Korean and foreign casters. Definitely pro's and cons imo - but I think I would take tastosis any day to be honest. | ||

Any chance of distributing the subtitles as a soft sub format like .ass so that those with access to the VODs can download them and watch subtitled with the original video? | ||

So much information keeping it interesting and explaining what to look for often before it even happens, and being really good at identifying and explaining important things as they happen. Always proper voice inflection and getting excited when exciting things happen etc.. sometimes properly releasing said excitement with comedic relief. I'm jealous. Need more of these :D Took the words out of my mouth. Don't get me wrong, Tasteless and Artosis are excellent, but there's something so professional about these guys, and they have such a good perspective of the game. No "I've got nerd chills" or any of that nonsense. But then again, different audiences. | ||

It felt like watching Starleague. Personally I think it has to do alot with the culture. For example compare ESPN to Univision(A Spanish channel) or TeleMundo when it comes to soccer. I don't even care that it is not in HD, the energy of those soccer caster make the game more enjoyable. Also, those Koreans really know their stuff. Alot of foreigner casters simply don't have intimate knowledge regarding timings, match-ups, or the latest trends and strategies. | ||

I think this is also a great chance for English casters to improve their casting skills. They might not be on the same level of energy as the Korean caster but at least they can learn a lot from the video with subtitle how Korean casters handling each phase of the game without being off-track from the game too much. | ||

And they're damn funny on top of that :D Meanwhile I'm watching less and less of the GSL, mostly due to the casters. And by that I mean Code A and Code S. I'm pretty certain Wolf and Artosis, who both have genuine interest in the game, would make a great casting duo, but the way it currently is, I just don't know. The first couple seasons I actually loved Tastosis to hell and back, especially because they were (and somewhat still are of course) so funny. However, when I see how the Korean casters do their job I kinda feel justified that I just cannot take any more "by the way. go on Twitter and tweat about the GSL also, add me, I'm callmeTasteless, and Artosis on Twitter too!" "so... uhm... hmm, nothing really to talk about, Artosis, ask me a question!" "I don't really know what to say, the game is just pretty much over" Tasteless is a great guy that still has a lot funny things to say and makes me laugh every now and then, but apart from that he is just lacking in so damn much. Same goes for a hell lot of other casters. Often the biggest problem is the lack of knowledge of the game, without that, there aren't even ways to say something interesting for these guys. I mean in this translated cast the commentators shell out an insane amount of detailed analysis. If you take away these parts, due to lack of knowledge, then what's left really? Casters really have to step it up. I'd even want to say that playing the game at a decently high level like at least masters should almost be a requirement. Sure someone like TB does a good job without the highest knowledge but even he would of course benefit from that, as far as is Sc2 casting skills go. Homestory Cup is basically the only event where I don't have the streams muted a lot of the time, just because actual game knowledge does provide so much, that even though a lot pro gamers aren't quite the most articulate casters it's just damn interesting. And I hope that rather sooner than later we get the calibers of a Grubby casting games professionally. I mean I don't want to have progamers end their career but it seems like that's the way we get the really great casters in the future because a lot current casters just don't feel like playing a game at a high level is their "duty". | ||

You know what would be pretty funny, is to see a game casted by Tasteless and Artosis subtitled in Korean for their fans to see. They'd be wondering "what the hell is wrong with these crazy Americans", lol. | ||

If we get enough content and perhaps better quality I would deffiently do it, so much better analysis and energy than the regular English casts. Feels like only Artosis and Day[9] got the same kind of analysis out there, not counting pro gamers of course. Could really need some more casting like this in the foreign scene, such depth and that. Amazing! | ||

Also, I really dislike over hyping a game that is already over. I know its their job, but once Z has all these ling/roach hanging out forever and P has equal eco and immortals+stalker ball... I also know they kinda said it (that Z had to attack), but they keep saying it, super excited, until the very end. I was much much more impressed by Idra casting. More insights, more relaxed, predicting even more what would happen and why. | ||

I really couldn't ignore that there was no way for Z to comeback. At that point I would have preferred some explanations about when Z had screwed up, what mistakes had been made, etc Am I really the only one preferring Idra style casting? And yeah I do understand that Korean style is better to hype up, and to make esports grow etc etc | ||

I have watched a vast majority of Wheats casts and he has never made an incorrect assesment about whats going to happen in a game. Because he doesnt do that. He does play by play and sometimes brings his own thoughts into the mix. The level of understanding he has for the game far exceeds his own skill level. He made some of the best observations he has made during this MLG and Red Bull LAN. Contrast that with other commentators that often make predictions that are fairly far fetched and has to be corrected later or simply making erroneous assumptions or even worse, just missing super important stuff. Wheat is an expert at filling time, transitioning into important play by play and building hype. Frankly I'd even say he's better at play by play than Tasteless. Granted Tasteless has a higher level of understanding and should probably be seen more as a hybrid analasys/play by play caster and probably is the most well rounded caster along with day9. Well artosis could probably do that too but seems to have chosen the analasys as his forte. | ||

But I would love to see wolf + tastosis(I think it's the best gsl english combination), energy might not be same as the Koreans but it would certainly help making watching VODs more helpful than watching replays. either that or tasteless needs to step it up and not just read things on the screen for the viewers like a caster would (notice how the Korean caster barely talks and only reads out key information like what has been scouted or not for first few minutes and that works because there's a third person to fill in the gap) and do more of actual commentating if they are going to keep 2 man team, tasteless turned soft and degraded into a JP in recent year and half or so. it's sometimes really sad how artosis has to cut off tasteless talking about silly things when there's something real going on in the screen. | ||

However, if you're going to make more of these, please just do whatever to not screw up the subtitles. The bottom of the last line was always cut in half which is, quite frankly, just embarrassing. I'm sure people will want to see more of these videos and you did a great job with the writing but fix the positioning and you're on your way to internet fame. | ||

The game is SO BORING to watch with most current English commentators. And I will readily admit it's because my own knowledge is poor, so I can't pick up on a lot of things. Watching this video was like watching a whole different game, full of subtleties and feints and logical motivations behind each move. It also makes you appreciate the high level thinking of top level players. MORE PLEASE! =D | ||

To the author: hopefully you will read this. Please try adding different colors to the text for each commentator; that way it's easier to tell who's saying what. As it is now, I find it hard to distinguish between who's saying what just because I am reading (sometimes ahead) while simultaneously watching the match, occupying most of the brain's focus— plus it's in another language. | ||

I would have to say, especially what seems to continual improvement as seen from MLG winter championship, DJwheat + day9 is a GREAT combo. Their voices fit well, they don't cut each other off much or make awkward pauses and such. Day9 can analysis and has good game sense/knowledge. DJwheat doesn't seem to say "wrong" things neither. Artosis is great. He can analyze AND shoutcast. His enthusiasm is great. But whenever I watch tastosis it seems like artosis is doing 70% of the job and tasteless only 30%. In terms of the time each person speaks and the influence they have on the game. Artosis, day9, and djwheat are the best casters that I've heard. However it seems like even their analysis and casting isn't as good as the koreans. The koreans don't ever lose the chance to shout, and don't lose the chance to bring the tension back down. Tastosis (especially artosis) can bring a lot of hype to the game, b ut many times they may be talking about one thing and miss another. Like MKP vs Genius, there were SO many probe kills, yet artosis/tasteless were talking mundanely. Koreans would have been like OMG 10 PROBE KILLS! NO 15 !!! 21 PROBE KILLS! etc. Korean casters compared to the best of the english casters may not be THAT much better in terms of analysis (though it seems they are way better, but maybe i'm biased too much), but their incredible energy puts them way above the rest. | ||

I got such a clear understanding of the game and the decision making. puzzle made a small but expensive army and faked an attack, lucky made a freak ton of units and the attack never came. When Puzzle expanded lucky ended up with a big army he HAD to attack with else he was behind. Puzzle got blink and immortals before the attack came and lucky was not able to do the damage he needed to do and lost. English casters would have been so critical of Lucky but it was a brilliant plan by Puzzle. I felt like I learned so much in this game, and this is the match up I understand the best! | ||

Aside from the GSL, casters like JP, Wheat, and TB are non-satisfactory as well. They come up short in both game play knowledge and enthusiasm. though I do want to acknowledge that I feel like they fulfill a more casual-friendly role to the e-sports scene, and maybe help acclimate newer viewers to the more basic elements of the game. The only real exception I can think of is day[9], but even he comes short in enthusiasm (Husky is the opposite: overly enthusiastic but no insightful knowledge). I'm a Korean American and even though I'm much more comfortable with English as my primary language, I grew up watching SC:BW with the default Korean commentating. I believe the foreign scene is more than capable of performing, imo it's a matter of accepting the fact there is ways to go to improve (crucial), and stepping up to the plate. I would love to feel this engaged and excited about a game I'm watching, the next time I come across a vod commentated by foreign casters. | ||

The play-in-play-style is similar to what Khaldor used to do when casting in WC3, which in my opinion he wasn't able to convert into SC2. When he tried to talk that fast and excitedly in the beginning of his SC2 casts he often just repeats the same sentence in lack of something meaningful to say. Plus with the language barrier he slides too often into phrases, which is very hard to fix :| | ||

I don't know if this an average everyday cast, but it seemed like the commentators were able to properly predict what was going to happen and explain why it was going to happen. I'm getting tired of analysis like "he will win this battle if he controls perfectly" and leaving it like that or at the beginning of the game saying "he could be opening like A, or maybe B or even C, we'll just have to wait and see." It felt to me like the Korean commentators were treating the viewers like adults and not dumbing it down. Either that or they have a seemingly better understanding of the game compared to English commentators. Just felt good watching that cast. ^_^ | ||

And just how many first time watchers do you think there are for any given cast? That's an audience so incredibly, incredibly small that it blows my mind that anyone would bother to cater to them. It's not like someone will immediately lose interest and turn off the stream if there is something they don't understand, hell it's impossible to explain everything. The Korean casters did a very good job of relaying the general flow of the game in a very accessible fashion and they made it exciting. I actually think this style of casting can do a far better job of engaging new viewers than anything I have seen so far in English. | ||

Also one thing that irritates the crap out of me is when casters prematurely kill the hype of the game by saying "oh its over, expect gg" or anything along these lines. DO NOT DO THIS. You do not have to scream and yell GG!!!!!! but atleast save the hype till the very last moment, even if it is obvious. | ||

A constant flow of interesting information and so much enthusiasm behind it, just great. And they're damn funny on top of that :D Meanwhile I'm watching less and less of the GSL, mostly due to the casters. And by that I mean Code A and Code S. I'm pretty certain Wolf and Artosis, who both have genuine interest in the game, would make a great casting duo, but the way it currently is, I just don't know. The first couple seasons I actually loved Tastosis to hell and back, especially because they were (and somewhat still are of course) so funny. However, when I see how the Korean casters do their job I kinda feel justified that I just cannot take any more "by the way. go on Twitter and tweat about the GSL also, add me, I'm callmeTasteless, and Artosis on Twitter too!" "so... uhm... hmm, nothing really to talk about, Artosis, ask me a question!" "I don't really know what to say, the game is just pretty much over" Tasteless is a great guy that still has a lot funny things to say and makes me laugh every now and then, but apart from that he is just lacking in so damn much. Same goes for a hell lot of other casters. Often the biggest problem is the lack of knowledge of the game, without that, there aren't even ways to say something interesting for these guys. I mean in this translated cast the commentators shell out an insane amount of detailed analysis. If you take away these parts, due to lack of knowledge, then what's left really? Casters really have to step it up. I'd even want to say that playing the game at a decently high level like at least masters should almost be a requirement. Sure someone like TB does a good job without the highest knowledge but even he would of course benefit from that, as far as is Sc2 casting skills go. Homestory Cup is basically the only event where I don't have the streams muted a lot of the time, just because actual game knowledge does provide so much, that even though a lot pro gamers aren't quite the most articulate casters it's just damn interesting. And I hope that rather sooner than later we get the calibers of a Grubby casting games professionally. I mean I don't want to have progamers end their career but it seems like that's the way we get the really great casters in the future because a lot current casters just don't feel like playing a game at a high level is their "duty". Amidst the almost immune status that Tastosis enjoys I have had this opinion for a long time. It really surprises me how people are satisfied with Tasteless. I agree that seems to be a great person but his lack of knowledge of the game is seriously hurting the quality of the duo's casting. It feels like most of his in-game knowledge stems from his Brood War times. His predictions and analysis are really lackluster. Artosis is great and would probably develop more casting with someone who has the same passion for the game as he does. | ||

English casters are just NOT exciting. TotalBiscuit IMO makes up for his lack of knowledge by bringing in hype to what he cast, and when paired with a knowledgeable (IE dApollo) he makes for part of a perfect cast for me. More casters really need to ramp up the hype! | ||

Apollo really is a great caster imho. Understands the game well and gets excited at the right moments without going completely nuts. | ||

Also things I hate in casting: - "expect GG any moment" Oh really, thanks that really increases everyones enjoyment when you bring that up. - "Theres gonna be some downtime so it's time for us to completely stop talking about the game and how scouting is effecting their strategies etc and talk about purple dinosaurs for 5 minutes instead". -every fucking strategy used is apparently an all in even if they are still making workers and expanding behind this strategy. Even the top english casters like tastosis do this. That said I still love all the english casters but wish they would make an effort to try and be more analytical like the Korean casters. But to be honest I don't think they know the game as well as the korean casters do. | ||

Sorry to pick on Wolf, he's okay, he just seems fucking BORED most of the time. Which Korean commentators never ever do. People like Day9 because he screams and yells to get excited, but to be honest, he overdoes it and even interrupts HIS OWN analysis to scream. Example from MLG: So Dong Rae Gu has two options here, he can 1) bulk up that army and OH MY GOD LOOK AT THAT CREEP SPREAD, SUCH SICK CREEP SPREAD....and then never finishes his point. All about dat balance. | ||

The problem with tastosis is that there is so much silence, no excitement and half the stuff they say are non related to the game. I think Tasteless is the main problem because his knowledge of the game is very low and is unable to provide any deep analysis. You may argue that he is the colour commentator so he doesn't need to analyse, but he rarely raises his voice with excitement. The only things that Tasteless seems to be good at are agreeing with Artosis and telling random non-starcraft stories. | ||

Korean commentators were far and away better than any foreigner caster i`ve seen (except tastosis on a very good day). They know A LOT about the game; they make the game narrative and tension by describing what needs to happen for a player to get an advantage, instead of just describing what is going on in the stream; they can get you very excited by their voices alone. Some foreigner casting pairs can do one or another of those things, but not nearly as well, and certainly not at the same time. | ||

Today tastosis "Babies are taking over the world" To be fair, they were probably jetlagged and said they didn't have their own computer, so they could only see what the observer already showed. So today shouldn't be taken to measure their normal casting. But yes, even Tastosis have a lot to improve compared to this video. | ||

I had no idea how in depth and informative the Korean casts and makes me wish we had more of that style in our foreigner community. I love to hear them sound so passionate about the game they are casting, it doesn't seem like like a chore to them. It doesn't sound like they are hung up on trying to be "cool", and are just doing a great job casting. Thanks for this! | ||

I really hope GOM takes this and runs with it- at minimum, by providing you with the rights to do subtitles as you please. The NA community are very avid consumers of broadcast sporting media. This could help drive NA subscriptions to GOM content. And by "could help" I mean, "definitely will contribute to in a statistically meaningful way" | ||

(i'm not sure how to explain/distinguish this professionalism) korean casters indeed, present the game to you in a professional manner. english casters are like friends chit chatting about the game as they watch, imo. the pro/amateur feeling is what i get when i compare korean/english casts, even the days of bw when english casters started. i had trouble listening to them then(bw) and i still do (reason why i stopped buying tickets for gsl after season 2 and started again with korean vods in 2012) | ||

I still don't understand why can't english casters have paper (1 page) for each player that is playing where they can look all interesting statistics. How he plays, who has been his opponent etc. But rarely they even know who that guy played against last time. It just seems that english casters are lazy. Gather information about players. Its very annoying to hear "I don't know that much about this player really", why are you caster/commentator then? Is it really that hard to go through last 20-30 games of that player and update your paper sheet when needed? Smaller tournaments like online cups and so on casters can be more liberal but bigger tournaments they need to more "professional" | ||

I would love to hear English commentators portray games this way, but it's just not in our culture to pronouce and become infatuated with certain events. It's quite sad, but that's just how it's always been for any professional sports broadcasters who speak English (particularly American dialect). | ||

It also bothers me that even the best english casters often haven't even looked at new maps that have been added to the map pool even though the addition had been announced for weeks. | ||

I wonder which is true: 1 - Tastosis CAN cast like this, but are told to/want to appeal to a broader audience - maybe asuming the forreign stream viewership is less schooled? 2 - Tastosis CANNOT cast like this. Btw... This is NOT a bash in Tastosis - I love them to bits. | ||

Btw... This is NOT a bash in Tastosis - I love them to bits. Artosis can cast like this, just watch when he get the chance to cast with some progamer (like with TLO on DH Winter(?) it was such a good cast. It's when he cast with someone that also got alot of game knowledge he really shines and you get this kind of high quality knowledge bomb casting style like the korean casters. Tasteless could cast like this in BW too, and Tastosis had some good BW casts but in sc2 they have gotten so much attention for how funny they are etc so I don't think they want to change their "style" like Tasteless is mentioning quite often. But anyway, I don't think they could cast like this in sc2 atm anyway because Tasteless sc2 knowledge isn't good enough to keep up with Artosis. Just look like how they are casting now, Tasteless is pretty much only there to tell jokes, call GG's and scream "OH MY GOD!!" with fake enthusiasm. | ||

Did anybody else find the subtitles sorta boring? It was interesting to see what they were gonna talk about, but I didn't really enjoy myself. The early part of the game was simple reiteration of the way that ZvP works, going over basics that would get tedious if repeated every ZvP. Then they extrapolated rather absurd conclusions about the two players being "evenly matched" from their "similar MU win ratios," which they didn't really explain. Surely these two players haven't played enough in the GSL for that to matter. The rest, for the most part, was a ton of simply stating what was in the production queue. "He's making immortals...! And now that he's lost his roaches, he's making mutas...!" etc. Oddly, I didn't see them mention the spire until the mutas were in production. :-/ Didn't really seem that interesting. | ||

At that point I would have preferred some explanations about when Z had screwed up, what mistakes had been made, etc Am I really the only one preferring Idra style casting? And yeah I do understand that Korean style is better to hype up, and to make esports grow etc etc No, I'm with you. They didn't even mention that zerg had failed two expensive attacks, and that was almost definitely gonna cost him the game when the protoss counterattacked. All they said is, "It's his job to defend now." It was a really shallow description of the situation. I don't think the Korean style is at all "necessary" for e-sports. It just wasn't interesting to me. I kept wanting them to either provide more depth and not just tell me what's on the screen, or at least say something amusing. | ||

is actually Day[9]. I think the Korean casts are just so much more fun because they really work so damn hard in them to make it exciting, fun, and yet at the same time, cram as much knowledge as possible into the games. Which I feel is exactly what Day[9] tries to bring every time. Often times foreign casters will just "give up" on a game and sit back, and have nothing to say for a while. However, it's rare to hear Korean casters sit back and do nothing; they're always shouting something as if the probes are about to selfdestruct and teleport into the opponent's main. Obviously jk but my point remains the same. Evidence that Day[9] is the greatest caster ever: | ||

Until then, I watch Brood War a lot, but despite playing SC2, I can't watch it. It's worse than the TG-Samba Intel Classic or GomTV's brood war tournament, were Tasteless brought up things like goat milk and panda bear guys instead of actually casting the game. He uses his humour as a crutch. Tasteless: Either learn the game, or step down. | ||

He was more political and fair about it then most, but a lot of commentator bias and acting a little buzzed (perhaps he was, literally). Funny, and decent commentary, but if you want to see him really shine, go watch him somewhere between daily #50 and #100 of his old dailies. Amazing analysis, especially in TvT (where experience and analysis really shine). While you're at it, if you're an SC2 viewer looking to get into Brood War, watch the recent Proleague finals match. It was very solid. | ||

1. Korean casters. They tell us what happens usually and then appear surprised when something changes. Not particularly technical, not especially useful. The preamble at the start of that match was complete rubbish but the excitement mid match was very fun to watch. 2. Day9/dApollo. Here is what I think will happen, here is what I think the players will do. Usually the type of caster you want to watch if you're actually interested in what is going on. Tend to have the best read of the game. Not always exciting to listen to. 3. Tasteless/Artosis - banter, play by play and technical analysis. Probably the best balance overall, but runs the risk of becoming overreliant on "chemistry". 4. Sports casters - TotalBiscuit is the archetypical caster of this type. Lots of shouting, absolutely no real analysis of any type. Their purpose is to provide a backing track to your own thoughts about the game and make it more exciting. This is more or less what 90% of real sports casters do in fast paced games - watch any game of La Liga or the Premier League. The only thing missing really is the Analysis Couch, where key moments of the game could be picked out and displayed. It is quite silly that we haven't done this already, given how easy it is to load replays of Starcraft 2. | ||

I know a lot of people here hate(d) on klazart, but I loved him so much because he actually got excited about the game. The caster that is excited about the game gets you to care about the game. THAT is the important part. Storylines, emotion, that is what gets people involved and into the scene. | ||
