ZombieGrub is really good. She knows a lot about the game and tries to keep it simple. Especially when paired up with a pro / analytical caster, she really shines.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

Thinking about artosis and tastless, I would love to see more active commentary during the early game. They usually take that time for more personal chatter which is fine but I think they gloss over stuff that while aimed at higher levels is actually really important.

Minor build deviations, overlord scouting paths, gas pull outs, all the tiny details that are actually the difference between crucial variations of similar builds. I think they are casting from a video feed and don't have a dedicated observer pc which could be the difference.

at the GSL Super Tournament they were casting off of the same screen the audience was watching so it was tough for them to provide insights you get by looking at stuff the main observer cam does not show.

in general, i found Tastosis sometimes discuss minor variations in early builds that make a huge difference later on. i wish they would do it every game. for important tourneys where they know Blizz is watching Tastosis lowers the quantity of personal story chat and their work improves accordingly.

I'll start by saying that there's too much negativity in the gaming community, the SC2 community, and the internet in general, which is why I'm treading carefully here.

That said, one of the casters (I won't say which region he's in, or how long he's been on the scene) is driving me absolutely up the wall, to the point where matches I should LOVE watching end up being only okay, and I end up not watching good matches when I know he's on the desk.

I want to vent about this guy, and maybe find some people to vent with me, and since this is a small community, maybe get some improvements, but at the same time, I don't want to be some internet jerk crapping on a dude working hard and trying his best in a tough industry.

I mean, I wish the guy the best in his life and congratulate him on the success he's had, but his casting is becoming an issue that's making the game worse for me, and might be doing the same for others. TL, what's the right thing to do here?
I absolutely hate it when people hate on casters. Your wasting your time here; trust me. No one wants to hear your whining, it does absolutely nothing.

I believe casting could get a lot better if the casters wouldn't do it 100% life, but with a little delay... watch the game life, make notes, cast from the replay right afterwards. Then also slow down the replay to show and comment on all parts of a multiprong if needed, switch to player views to double check if they really clicked on that building warp-in. That kind of thing.

That way you could also make sure you don't miss anything, and spend less words on pointless predictions. I like it when they think into the player expectations (like "Rouge saw four gas taken, so he probably expects mass oracle"), but anything that is their own, full-information prediction is just silly (I feel Rouge is going to attack soon).

I can only be thankful to all our casters and folks behind the shows. In no other sports I could say I watch because of the commentators. I watch those to see my team or to see great players. In Sc2 however I think I can say its mostly the personalities presenting me the game that I watch for. Where else do you actually get to know these people and on top feel alot of sympathy for them? I think I never encountered a sc2 caster that I truly disliked. Sure I enjoy some more than others, but none of them annoy me.

Also the day tastosis stop talking random stuff in the beginning of games may be the day I stop watching their show. I love it and its great we have diversity from calm to loud from funny to analytical and so on.

About Wardii. I love his casting and all the work he does for the community, but the one thing that always bothers me is how he uses the phrase " [unit] is just going to come up here and see what he can get up to" about 20 times every game. Maybe it's just me, but as a phrase it's just a painfully obvious filler sentence and the fact that it's always said in the exact same way bothers me perhaps way more than it should.

Everything else is great, but I think that removing or at least reducing that phrase from your caster lexicon would be a great improvement

when Tastsosis are not screwing around during an anonymous midweek early round GSL match....
they are an order of magnitude better than any other casters. they have been awesome this weekend. the rest of the casters ranged from solid to very good. so this means Tastosis are better than John Madden level good.

Tastosis > Madden
Bravo Gentlemen, i hope Blizz sells a million of those Tastosis Voice Packs this week... and you guys fill your pockets with money. ( and hide it from the government so you don't get taxed on it )

in the couple of hours i watched her cast a week or 2 ago in Toronto(?) she made several incorrect calls and basic flubs projecting circumstances that occurred 1 minute into the future.

Not sure if the casters have their own make-up artists or not but that shit was laid on THICK. These dudes have an excess amount of make-up on their face during the WCS global finals. Looks bad.

Not exactly caster, but I think it fits here.

Is it just me paying the screen more attention than usual or is the observer for Blizzcon amazingly good compared to every other tournament so far?

I feel for ZG she's on the BIG stage so there could easily be some nerves there, but she really should take a step back from her usual style and let Artosis do more of the share of the work, he is the best in the business so she shouldn't have to revert into her solo cast style next to him. It feels weird to see him being reverted to a color commentary role next to her.

its white knight time!
i bet you the entire casting team sorted that kind of stuff out before the match and decided to let ZG do play-by-play for an early round match because for the most important matches of Blizzcon we know it'll be Tastosis with each guy in their usual role.

I liked the match-up between ZG and Artosis! She did a great job at analyzing, Artosis agreed with her, he didn't have to school her once! Artosis is a classy guy and doesn't have a problem letting a competent player analyze the game. They had good chemistry for a first time casting team.

@JimmyJRaynor I agree, finals will be Tastosis for sure! Best casting team there is!

i just like to see some variety throughout the weekend.
maybe by doing some colour commentary it'll help Artosis expand his "range" as a broadcaster.
the only broadcasting team better than Tastosis is

I'm impressed with Wardii. Watching him on WESG, and he got better. Listening to his voice is nice on the ears now

And his pace and charisma is much better. I take back my previous comments.

Yeah Waardi actually somewhat fit a primier tournament setting, which is quite a compliment. He repeated some thing about Showtime a few too many times on the analyst desk, but other than that it was quite enjoyable. It's mostly a lack of charisma from him and moreso ZombieGrub that is the reason they aren't preached like the other casters, but maybe they just need more time to grow on me.

Hola!

Who was the caster with Artosis on the last round of GSL? He casted Hero vs Ragnarok I think,
I really enjoyed his casting, and he gave a lot of useful insight to some, like me, who does not play seriously anymore.

Very nice!

I have to echo this. If it weren't for Tasteless and Artosis, I think I would slowly drift away.

Don't get me wrong, the tier 2 guys (sorry) of Rotti/Tod/Incontrol are great--but there just isn't that somethin extra.

Gotta love me some Tasteless!
