Honestly, I'm not sure how to answer this one. My intentions are to keep watching, and I'm pretty attached to GSL and the Koreans at this point, but I think realistically it will absolutely depend on what English commentators they get. Tasteless + State was good, but if Tastosis get another regular non-GSL gig I can absolutely see myself switching over to them in part, as they were a big reason why I tuned in and if possible I would want to still watch them. So possibly reduced?

artosis had a high degree of experience and professionalism which made his casting generally enjoyable. however his repetitive, self-referential 80s nostalgia humor and his arrogant, toxic personality (outside of his casting) made me not a big fan. although he had good chemistry with tasteless he didn't have much interest in being engaging or entertaining to the audience in the manner of someone like rotterdam or incontrol (RIP). so often his casting became sleepy and made large portions of games feel skippable

state brought a lot of fresh life to the broadcast. if GSL continues ill be happy to see more of him. despite the fact that people worship tastosis out of nostalgia i think there's better out there

Not much if at all, I think State is pretty tolerable with Tasteless and he'll probably just get better with time. The games are what matters to me more then the casters, obviously Tasteosis is untouchable but hey, I'm not going to stop watching high level Starcraft just because of one caster lol I mean, Starcraft is just too good for that.

Absolutely nothing but love for Artosis, he's got a wife and kids and you gotta do whats best for you and your family. Not everybody can be a sexy chunky bachelor forever like Tasteless.

I will still watch GSL with the same enthusiasm, but I will miss him he is extremely knowledgeable about SC and very entertaining, although he can be annoying at times but you can't help but love the guy, been watching him cast SC since the very beginning. He will be greatly missed :D <3

The problem is Tasteless doesn't want to pair with anyone else except Artosis for the future project. I guess letting foreign talents to pair with State is tolerable but it depends whether they want to stay in Korea for at least one or two years ahead.

Thinking Nate because he has good humour and may be suitable to replace Tasteless. Another one is ZG,

There's definitely a bittersweet "end of an era" feeling there, but it won't affect my GSL viewing habits. Tastosis was a fantastic casting duo, but there's lots of great casters out there that I'd be happy to continue listening to.

never liked artosis cast. he never played the game except maybe on the beta of wol. never had anything smart to say that I did not know apriori. that being said, I will miss tasteless, which even if he was not playing the game either (how do ppl end up casting top tournaments when they never play the game?), I always enjoyed listening to him.

as long as they dont do get in wardii or someone like this with the the relentless 'i means', 'rights', 'you knows' in every sentence,(just listen its every sentence, the whole esl casters do it more than i think is humanly possible) its a plague in sc commentary at the minute for me making ESL unwatachable with comms. Once i noticed this im not sure why its unreasonably ruining my viewing of sc and id like it to stop. I would love it if there was a seperate cast of no commentary or at least another language. Artosis going from gsl might actually be bad, he doesnt seem to do it that much but tasteless does. i wish my brain hadnt make me notice this. I mean, at least its not as bad typing it out, right?

Artosis and to a lesser degree Tasteless literally competed at close to the highest level at the beginning of SC2 and at least Artosis remained incredibly knowledgeable about the game up to this date. He is the best analytical sc2 caster by far and this is pretty much commonly agreed upon so I really have to idea WTF you are talking about. Both would woop yo a$$ in a ladder match lmao.

Tasteless lost his edge on game knowledge a while ago I'll agree but he's mostly there for the play-by-play and his personality anyway and most people are fine with this too.

I'll watch GSL whoever commentates (in English) but I'll certainly miss Tastosis if they can't find an arrangement.

Same for me. I'll keep on watching it as long as the game is interesting to me.

Personally, it's been a while since Tastosis lost their zest. But the nostalgia is strong and they are still great.

However, Stateless was not bad at all either, fresh and more enthusiastic to my ears.

Simply not true. Even if we don't want to put Lambo and Harstem in the batch (which are definitely the top ones as analytical), I think Rotterdam is the best in analytical, PiG is also pretty good the few times he casts still. Anyway all of them surpass Artosis by a big amount. The number of wrong calls in GSL are super high.

You're wrong about Artosis and Tasteless not playing the game, which is probably why you're confused at why they're allowed to cast top tournaments.

Anyways, I always appreciated Artosis's commentary and analysis, and he + Tasteless will always be my favorite casting archon. I'm glad to hear they'll continue to do projects together, and Tasteless is super versatile so I'm confident that he'll mesh well with just about any other caster (I'm being reminded of Day[9] Daily #100, where Day[9] talked about how Tasteless seamlessly took the "supporting" role of secondary commentator for his first cast ever, after losing in a BW tournament, even though the other caster didn't actually know what was going on).

I'm excited to see who'll be working with Tasteless next!

Current viewership won't be affected too much.

The loss of Tastosis charisma will impact potential new audience - not that it's saying much at this point.

it'll make some of the more boring matches a little more painful to get through, but i'm more than willing to give State a shot. I do wonder how the analysis side of things will go, since Tasteless has really leaned into play-by-play
I also liked NoRegret's casting at times, especially when it came to Zerg matchups

With the game being dead and blizzard being dead at this point let's be honest, I really wouldn't be surprised if gsl got pulled. Wcs got cancelled. Player base is down. I went back like 3 years ago to try out. After my placement matches and a 5 year absence, got put directly into masters. That was 3 years ago on NA ladder.

I haven't watched gsl since then. I'd usually watch the finals of a season at least, but after I came back and the ladder was dead just killed my desire to watch it.

No change from me, if they keep broadcasting I'll keep watching.

I may be alone in this, but I think Artosis and Tasteless together were actually less enjoyable than apart, at least in the last few years. Like, imagine a television series on its twelfth season. I don't know that I'd say that they're worse than they were in 2010, I think I'm just too familiar with their material by now.

link an account then. I stand by what I say, artosis is clueless about the game because he never plays it. also, hello we talk about sc2.
edit: link artosis ladder account and we shall see how good he was/is.
