Riner1212 United States337 Posts October 24 2022 04:51 GMT #62 it wont have any effect, but there is a lack of up and coming new players.. which makes the scene less interesting. at the moment the only two players in GSL that are considered to be top dogs are maru and dark, apart from that no one else particularly stands out.

But, to be honest, I really like having people like State who have a bit more professional perspective and feel for where the game is at and what the players are doing. I think if the next casting duo is decent, particularly if they can get a former pro or someone very knowledgeable like that, I'll still be watching all the GSL available.

Arty had gaps in his knowledge and got confused at times, and I liked it. the metagame would reveal itself to him in GSL and he'd try and make sense of it in his entertaining style. this helped make every GSL cast seem fresh and colourful to me do we really need a commentator who watches every match of every ESL weekly cup to offer quality analysis of a 12 year old game?? no I don't think so. far more important is the co-commentator's sense of humour. sc2 can be very boring to watch if you take it too seriously statistics, trifling details, build order variations and infinitesimal intricacies of macromanagement......... *snore* let the grandmasters figure that stuff out by themselves if they want to. I prefer to hear about the bigger picture, which is what Artosis did so well. it's the observer's job to show those tiny details on screen, not the commentator's job to fixate and waffle on about them at maximum volume. Tastosis were the class clowns of GSL and that's what made it awesome.

But eventually he'll take full map control again and the casting archon in GSL will be revived (well, if there is still GSL). Anyway, I seriously admire Artosis for his smart and bold moves in general and in this case - for doing the right thing as a good father. He's setting a good example for all of us. Also, here are two photos of the place he's going to be raising his kids in now - which looks like straight out of a fairy tale. + Show Spoiler +

It was a great time, and it's stuck with me; I got back into it in 2019 and watched all through the pandemic. Now figuring out how I get out for SuperTournament, because I don't want to completely miss it.

tlnetuser108 83 Posts November 07 2022 17:18 GMT #68 I lost interest in watching actual games years ago. The only reason for watching was Tastosis. Now that half of the casting Archon is gone, there's no reason to watch

NoobSkills United States1599 Posts November 07 2022 18:49 GMT #69 When GSL first started I watched EVERY match even live most of the time. Was a bad sleep schedule for sure. Now SC2 simply doesn't interest me nearly as much if at all. I don't know why, but it just isn't entertaining anymore for me, but the casters had nothing to do with it.
