Also love the B and C stream lineup, Harambo chemistry through the roof. Can't wait for the event! | ||

If we purely talk devotion to the game, the elite is at Katowice. And I'm kind of sure that if BroodWar isn't part of the Gamers8-thingy, we won't see Tastosis there either | ||

They cast stormgate and zerospace for pennies. they would cast sc2 if they were invited i remember years ago they exposed a few people at ESL nepotistic hiring practices and blacklisting them because certain people didn't like them. Sad! https://twitter.com/CallMeTasteless/status/1226094758860226560 here is just one example. Yeah if its not a money thing then its just a ridiculous decision by ESL. I don't care whatever interpersonal drama ESL may have with tastosis - they are the absolute premier casting duo and its the fans who lose out by not having them.

Artosis had his last real SC2 cast at Katowice '23 and Tasteless is also just doing GSL. Feels more like a thing to pay the bills if you compare it to some other casters.

If we purely talk devotion to the game, the elite is at Katowice. And I'm kind of sure that if BroodWar isn't part of the Gamers8-thingy, we won't see Tastosis there either I just prefer their casting, as a duo to most other folks, I’m not that fussed about how dedicated they are outside of business hours. I’m excited for Harambo as they have that easy camaraderie going but they’ve also that insight that being top pros gives them that does really add to casts that is a genuine addition and quite rare. It’s a nice part of HSC and I fondly recall Idra and Grubby doing guest casts at events and just that little bit of real nitty gritty detail. Honestly I think most of us who’ve watched the game for a decade+ aren’t really being told all that much we don’t know, even if we’re not high level ladder heroes. I’ll be happy as long as various folks don’t bang on about ‘Big Gabe’ every 10 seconds if Heromarine plays. Perhaps a bit niche but that is my personal pet peeve from casters over the years. In a way I quite like that Tastosis were always (relatively) detached because the folks more embedded in the scene can let their biases towards their friends playing bleed through. | ||

It’s unfortunate that the WC is in the SA event and not at Katowice I guess Still good line-up overall, should be a great event. I won’t go in person this year so it will be easier to choose the matches I want to watch | ||

ESL really needs to expand their budget only for Tastosis. Other casters are great, but there's just something about the casting archon that makes games magical. | ||
