The very best in the biz, IMO. In SC2 he doesn't have the knowledge he could rely on in Broodwar, so he's not as good a solo caster - but his casting skills have never diminished, so paired with somebody with knowledge, Tasteless can frickin' bring the noise. | ||

I wouldn't even put him on the next rung with Rotterdam, iNcontroL, Tasteless, and TotalBiscuit. This isn't a knock against the guy, I'm sure he's a perfectly decent chap, but I'm very happy to get an influx of Tasteless into SSL and hopefully Proleague as well. | ||

I hope their passion rises again. And if tasteless decides to cast 2 leagues that means for me that he has more interest. In hots he seemed to lack in knowledge and passion. So i like this choise. | ||

Most other casters dont do that. Sad to see moonglade go ofc, but it seems he has other plans with the next expansion. imo tasteless was better oveerall in explaining the game than Moonglade was. Then again, Moonglade had less experience and less overall knowledge of all races (I'm guessing). | ||

I just don't see any way for the Terran to come back into this game." 5 minutes later, the Terran's 3/3 push has allowed him to kill the Zerg's fourth and third. "This right here looks like the tipping point, the straw that's going to break this Zerg camel's back! The game is over, we're just watching the death animation." I love Tasteless, but he does more casting "no-no's" than anyone else I consider a good caster. His energy and charisma are just high enough to usually make up for it. | ||

There's no fight. I just wanted to state my opinion that people in TL community should stop assuming that people like tastosis due to nostalgia. It may be true that some do, but what you're implying by saying that is not fair. Tasteless and artosis definitely have their own and legitimate style that is entertaining. Given the current situation that a lot of tastosis haters blame the supporters as nostalgia lovers, I wanted to get that out of the system. | ||

He literally got dragged down by the casting of Wolf and Valdez all day every day. Oh and all those people you named? For the most part their analysis isn't even good. You are comparing casters with analysts which is straight up retarded. | ||

You the fans should be giving nothing but support and constructive comments rather than harping on stupid complaints. These guys do it for the fun and passion. It is so hard to find intelligent speakers that can think on their feet and also know the game well and NATIVE ENGLISH... all these casters are good and bring something I feel to the cast, just because you like one caster more doesn't mean the others are "bad".... sorry... I hate on haters. | ||

That's maybe because you need basic explanations (as the majority of the bad/average players). Some playres just dont need them. Moonglade def had the best knowledge of all casters in KR. Even though he doesn't explain all his points, his calls were extremely good and most often correct. He would call zergs strats/builds in the middle of a series before the game starts and still be correct many times. He just says few words that actually have a lot of meaning. He is very precise. Also he would never fake hype, which is something I also appreciate, because when he actually shows emotion, we know that something is up for real. Besides he is very chill and funny (thats why some people are really fan of him, as I am). In a note, he was one of the best night elf foreigners in warcraft 3 back in the day | ||

He might be the most knowledgeable person in the world, but I've never actually seen him translate that into a quality cast because he's too busy laughing at Wolf's jokes or agreeing with Wolf's nonsense. Oh and all those people you named? For the most part their analysis isn't even good. You are comparing casters with analysts which is straight up retarded. 1. Artosis, Nathanias, and Tod don't have good analysis? What? 2. SC2 isn't NFL, the roles of caster and analyst are much more loosely defined in SC2. The analysts do a lot of shoutcasting and the shoutcasters do a lot of analysis. Look at SSL last night, Wolf and Tasteless casting, who was the analyst there, exactly? Your division of the roles doesn't make sense in a world where a caster HAS to be good in both functions, because he's going to be filling both roles during any given cast. This actually segues back into our conversation about Moonglade, because if he was allowed to be purely an analyst and if his casts weren't infringed upon so strongly by his co-casters, I would probably like him a lot more. | ||

It just makes me happy when a chill dude like moonglade keep explaining things I don't realize for myself. | ||
