Breaking News: Tasteless spotted busting sweet dance moves.
Hetero-nerd life partners.
This thread combines three fanclubs into one, following Artosis, Tasteless, and finally the greatness that is them combined.
Artosis
Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski started out his career as a Terran player in Brood War. Though never winning a title, he qualified for the WCG USA Finals a whopping seven times. A long time contributer to the Starcraft community, he became widely know for his commentary in the Team Liquid Starleague. In 2008 he moved to Korea to work for SCForAll, covering professional Starcraft. He performed interviews and covered current events in his show the "Starcraft Weekly".
In Starcraft 2 Artosis decided on Zerg, playing for team Meet your Makers. In the HDH Invitational he lost in the Round of 16 to TheLittleOne. He competed in IEM and qualified for the Season 1 GSL Round of 64 before losing to NEXFreeSaGA. Recently Artosis has begun playing Protoss, although he has not yet determined if it's a permanent switch. In addition he left team Meet your Makers, though stated in his twitter that it was not the end of his playing career.
Artosis will be a guest commentator for TSL3, he is also the Head Coach for Team World in the GSL's Korea vs The World tournament.

Tasteless
Nick "Tasteless" Plott started out in Brood War as an aspiring Random player before switching to Protoss full-time. He qualified for the 2005 WCG USA Finals, but got quite possibly the worst bracket-luck in Starcraft history. He lost in the first round of the Finals to his brother Sean "Day[9]" Plott. After losing he remained at the tournament to cheer on his brother, but noticed that the commentator for the matches was fairly inexperienced at Starcraft. After convincing the staff to let him cast the matches, he impressed the staff enough that he was allowed to cast the WCG Grand Finals. Shortly after he was approached by GOM TV who offered him a job in South Korea casting their new Starleague.
Tasteless casted the three seasons of GOM TV alongside co-casters Susan Kim and Daniel Lee, before negotiations between Gretech and KeSPA broke down and GOM TV fizzled.
In Starcraft 2 Tasteless played Random in the beta, competing in the HDH. He defeated his brother Day[9] before losing to White-ra in the Round of 8. After release he settled his main race as Terran. He was hired by the Evil Geniuses team to be their Starcraft 2 Divison Manager. Recently he has switched from Terran back to Protoss.

Long-time friends Dan and Nick first came together to cast Blizzcon 2008 and the WCG 2009 Grand Finals in China. Following their success there they casted Season 2 of the Team Liquid Starleague. They were soon dubbed as Tastosis, a combination of their two handles. Together they casted Blizzcon in 2008 and 2009, joined in 2010 by Tasteless' brother Day[9].
In 2010, the pair were picked up by the reformed GOM TV to host the GOMTV Global Starcraft 2 League. As of writing they have casted the first three seasons together, although were absent for part of the beginning of Season 2 in order to cast Blizzcon 2010.
