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. | ||

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. | ||

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  | ||

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 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 | ||

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! | ||

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. | ||
