According to himself it will be decent, last time he was in Canada he tried it out. And arent the server global? | ||

I genuinely don't think that SC2 would have survived for how long as it did without Tastosis. They were the best. Their chemistry was incredible, and they never lost their magic in over ten years of casting together. Happy for Artosis, and I couldn't think of a better place to raise kids, but man does this feel like the end of GSL to me... Also, from the Tasteless video: "Would I be open to casting GSL live with anyone else but Artosis? No. I don't wanna do it with anybody else but Artosis." Man that's good to hear. | ||

The prime mover is an unbelievably great video game franchise. This franchise attracts some great people. I'd say Artosis career rests upon the efforts of the brilliant men who created Starcraft. I'd say the Starcraft franchise does not rest upon Artosis' efforts. I personally love Starcraft. That said, in the wider scheme of things the Starcraft franchise, as great as it is gameplay wise, isn't that great of a financial success. To put things into perspective Pacman brought in over $1 Billion in 1980 for Namco. The Starcraft franchise is now 24 years old and has yet to hit the Billion dollar mark in revenue. | ||

One of the greatest detective shows of all time is filmed on Prince Edward Island. Tom Selleck as Magnum P.E.I. Welcome to Canada Artosis! | ||

Maybe not only to watch Tastosis but it's definitely a huge appeal of the tournament. Without Tastosis viewer numbers will definitely (significantly?) shrink. At least for me I probably wouldn't watch the low-tier matches like e.g. Ragnarok vs Keen if it wasn't for Tastosis commentating | ||

Sports—and by extension E-Sports—is all about creating entertaining live TV. StarCraft is a community, and even for some of us its nostalgia, and personalities are inter-wound with it. Removing the iconic casting duo will irrevocably affect GSL viewership, just as English viewership of Brood War sky-rocked when Tasteosis began live casting the ASL a few years back. 80% of viewership jumping ship? Probably not; but, do not underestimate the magnitude of this—this is a big loss for StarCraft live commentary. On a personal note, Tasteless and Artosis when doing solo-casts, they just lack that special-something. Day[9] gone; InControl, RIP brother, gone; and now Artosis, gone. | ||
