I think the funniest thing about this news is that Artosis said he already had tested to see how latency in BW to Korea was last time he was in PEI.

Because of course he'd do that.

More seriously, if you're wondering why he's doing this, he explains it at the start of his most recent stream. His reasons are fairly sound I think and this seems like the best choice for his family.

I think everyone understands why he's doing it but it still feels a little bit sad because it's like the end of an era.

But I wish him all the best of course on his new journey.

Maybe time to pass the torch, a lot of the charm of GSL is the casting from studio hearing the audience etc

I’ve always appreciated Dan and Nick’s contribution to Starcraft. I selfishly hope they will always be able to stay connected to the scene for as long as possible.


I agree, and on the second point I am guilty of this too. I wish Artosis and his family the best of luck, and a pleasant moving process.

GSL will never be the same without this guy around. But as a father of two myself, I fully understand his motives. Goodluck brother!!!

There's a housing bubble in Canada, and PEI is experiencing a housing crisis currently (as are many other provinces). Isn't an issue if you or your parents own property and have access to home equity (in case you wish to co-habitate or get a mortgage although interest rates are on the rise and the rate of growth in housing year-to-year prices is leveling off...)

Consumer inflation is also approaching eight percent in Canada, not to mention it is one of the most taxed countries in the world. Although PEI (and Manitoba) are the only two provinces with no specific tax bracket for people who earn more than $100,000 per year - the top tax is 16.7 percent and kicks in at $63,970. There are politicians who are pushing for higher provincial income taxes for 'top earners' in PEI. Federal income taxes are substantial and sales tax is at 15 percent in PEI.

End of an era.. 14 years is A LOT of time!

thanks to Artosis (and Tasteless) for all the memories. It was a lot of fun, especially the 2008-10 pro in-house tours, NonY's insane courage run and that couple of early GSL seasons. Fantastic stuff.

Anyway.. Best of luck in your new place. Cheers

PEI is a pretty awesome place but small I wonder why he picked it?

Uhmm He has 3 children and I am a father myself I guess it has to do with education and a future for his family, I live in a big city and life it's pretty expensive I heard good things about Canada and the standard of living there so I'm guessing is for that reason.

Having a family is waaaaay too expensive.

I really hope the community pushes GSL to keep the tastosis duo alive, next to SC it's also the bond they have and the banter that makes people keep tuning in to SC.

Best of luck Artosis, it's a good move

He will specifically stream and play during NA hours and he will have a small MMR increase by not playing as many Koreans. Consistently S rank Artosis incoming

Sad to see this but it had to happen at some point with the blizz money ending soon. Ive always kinda wondered how viable the gsl income is for a family of 5 especially as viewership and the scene in general dwindled down

I bet the better Na/Eu streaming hours will make up for the lost gsl income while Artosis figures out his next steps. And hopefully this means a lot more Arty at international events

Noooooo. But best luck to Dan the Man and his clan

Honestly, I thought it would be better (and we saw it) sometimes with Arty + one guest caster, I enjoyed Special’s insight especially, Scan was good and I was OK to see more of it.

Assuming Artosis can’t do it, I thought Tasteless did a great job letting State do his thing.

Tasteless + a rotating cast of racial specialists or whoever from the foreign scene is in Korea at the time could work really well, he’s just such a genial guy it basically works whoever you stick alongside him.

Obviously Tastosis has that intangible quality, but we’ll be fine. I wonder if his kids have picked up decent Korean chops, give them a little bilingual leg up being back in the Americas!

Artosis can move wherever he'd like, his well-paying career as a streamer has reached fruition. I doubt he needs the extra income from GSL/ASL - seeing as how he doesn't necessarily need them, I understand that he would prefer to take his family to relatively nicer environment for a growing family.

He will be able to make his own hours, and even getting taxed to hell I'm sure he'll make plenty of money for his family. I'm glad he stayed in Korea as long as he did, and I'm thankful for all the seasons if excellent casting he's given us along with Tasteless.

I wonder if Tasteless will follow suit eventually. He is the more eclectic and interesting personality of the two in my opinion, you can pair him with virtually any other caster and he will do great. Between the draconian social systems, lack of space, and bizarrely superficial Korean culture (and horrific air quality) I imagine Tasteless will find a new home, eventually. He seems like the type to retire in style, streaming from a bungalo on the coast of a nice area in a South American country.

a long and distinct period of history has come to a final point.

hopefully, GSL approves the online casts.
