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. | ||

No one wants to hear your whining, it does absolutely nothing.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? | ||

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). | ||

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. | ||

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

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 ) On October 02 2017 23:56 virpi wrote: 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. 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. | ||

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 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. | ||

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

maybe by doing some colour commentary it'll help Artosis expand his "range" as a broadcaster. the only broadcasting team better than Tastosis is + Show Spoiler + Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse "The Body" Ventura. | ||

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! | ||

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! | ||
