I'm not too big of a fan of axslav/axeltoss either, but oh well. I can commend them for always giving their best atleast. But, Rotterdam and Mr. Bitter would be awesome casting this mlg | ||

DJ Wheat is actually in diamond or masters. TB though... yeah he'll never have any game knowledge. | ||

 Disappointed about rotterdam or apollo not being there. But still, this should be good, nonetheless. | ||

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 | ||

TB is funny tho, I don't really care much for analytical casters. English casters tend to be too caught up in the game, "Oh let's analyze why player is doing X, Y, Z" whereas French and Korean casters hype the crowd and make the game exciting. I remember listening to the French casting for Iron Squid then switching to the English stream throughout the day. What a difference in theatrics. The English casters (Day9, Wolf, Khaldor) tend to be caught up on why this is happening in the game, while the French casters were enthusiastic about what was happening (and what was to come). I don't want a school lesson on Starcraft, I want to be entertained and excited. | ||
