You're funny. not really it's the truth The truth? I can name 5 casters off the top of my head who are worse than Tasteless but I'll keep my opinion to myself. That's all you have, your opinion, nothing truthful about that. Like who?All the casters out there right now actually play the game.Tastless does not play stacraft 2 and you can hear it from his casts.There was a time during 2012 where he actually tried to better his cast and started playing again and you can actually hear from what he is talking about that he knows what's going on,but that was a pretty short period. Here's a tastless cast for you: Before the game starts artosis talks about what the player has done so far and what he might do,tastless nods his head and agrees,says some generic stuff about how good the player is Game starts,artosis talks about the map and strategy,tastless agrees says more generic stuff,inserts a joke that stopped being funny in 2011 when he used it for the 100th time. Depending on how the game goes he says the following in between when Artosis needs a breather: "Well guys I don't know what to say this is more onesided than a mobius strip" "Expect gg and second" "OH MYYY GOOD THIS IS SO TENSE ARTOSIS" "THIS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I HAVE EVER SEEN" Tastless was a awesome brood war caster,because guess what,he loved and played brood war.You can't tell me that the tastless that's currently casting plays sc2,there is no way.If you would replace tastless with a sound board with his generic phrases there would be literally no difference for the audience. couldn't agree with this more, few years ago when tasteless was boasting about being in masters you could tell he understood the game alot more than he does now. I tried to watch the GSL recently after a break from sc2 and just couldnt stand the repetative time-wasting comments he interrupts artosis with. you honestly could replace him with a parrot or something and not reduce the quality of the cast. All he does currently is making long drawn out exclamations and say the word "nerd" or do a stupid nasal voice while saying "snarfy" put me off after 3-4 casts after I heard the same one liners over and over and over again. Its a shame he has become such a brand which he is living off (such as day9 to a lesser extent) as it means he has no motivation or need to improve. I also feel abit bad for artosis who has to cover for him, and pretend to ignore his obvious mistakes, or construe them in a positive way. I think I heard the phrase "well we have abit of downtime so.... let me ask you a question" every game for a week before I couldnt stand it anymore
Don't feel bad for Artosis, without Tasteless I don't think he would get paid nearly as much as the pair together. Regardless of what you and others in this thread thing, Tasteless and Artosis are the most successful caster pair in Starcraft right now, to the extent that it's pretty rare for the two to be split up. I'm sure Artosis doesn't mind too much that he gets to travel around with someone he has referenced as his best friend and gets paid more doing so as a pair.
Honestly, I don't really mind Tasteless in the GSL. Yeah, occasionally he reuses terms (a bit tired of sick city), but he is genuinely funny from time to time and Artosis wouldn't sound the same without him (WCS Finals last night was proof of that). He's a colour commentator, and more recently it actually does seem like he knows more about the game, despite TheKefka's accurate portrayal of his go-to phrases.

Also i wish we could crowdfund to get Artosis to MLG Events.
MLG could host it and set goals like on kickstarter.

Kinda agree. I like the playful banter between Tasteless and Artosis, but the former's casting is at once obnoxious and pitiful.

Would've liked to see incontrol cast.

5 casters with day9 and axslav being the best guys for analysis. Hopefully they pair those guys up with the play by play guys. A bit shocked to not see husky because he was like "im gonna do more live events," but its fine as long as they have day9 and Djwheat I am happy.

Incontrol is one of the best and most underrated commentators imo. I really hope MLG has MORE CONTENT in between matches. They should get idra or incontrol to go around and do some fun interviews during the event. Would be amazing!

My favorite caster isn't there, therefore MLG is at fault.

I'm sure I'm not alone on my opinion, im sorry but axeltoss, Dj wheat, TB are all terrible casters.

When was the last time you listened to TB? His vastly improved his game knowledge and fulfills his role as a commentator really well. When paired with an analytic caster like Apollo or Artosis they're easily one of the best caster duos around.

I really don't like Axeltoss, I'm about done watching WCS_America as I don't enjoy him at all.
Would love to see Wolf / Khaldor combo go to some events together. They are the most awkward pair of people together but I have to grown to really enjoy their casting together, almost to the point of preferring them over tastosis.

I would really like a stream with no commentator but sound on

I agree with Ret!! ^_^V

Guess I probably won't be watching this MLG ;( Yeah same here. I highly appreciate everything Day[9] does for the community, but I don't like his casting style very much. And I don't want to talk about the other casters. Was hoping Idra would cast, tbh.
I bet you'll tune in anyways. After all, we're in for the games, not for the casters. Just mute them

Honestly, I think Tasteless is one of the best casters is SC2. Sure he isn't the MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE caster out there, but he's extremely funny and makes some of the most hilarious jokes I've ever heard in a SC2 cast. Also he has Artosis to make all those analytical comments and that's why they make a great team, plus Artosis cracks some pretty good jokes himself. I'm extremely disappointed that Tastosis won't be at MLG Anaheim, I would have loved to see them. Tastosis is the best caster duo out there.
