Love the narration. Tasteless and Artosis have done a good job so far in these tournaments. In my opinion they bring excitement on the right moments during battles. The series were played on the highest level possible. Never seen such playing skills, these young players deserve all this glamour showed in this tournament. Keep up the good work.
TY has won $300,000 since December... I mean, just wow. The dude has been one of the very best for a LOOONG time but just just never quite won a tournament. Glad to see his patience and dedication is paying off. The way he's performing it wouldn't surprise me if he won a GSL, SSL, dreamhack, and/or blizzcon. He could end up earning more money in a single calendar season than any player has over their entire careers... I believe everyone is still chasing MC, Life, and Polt. None of them has earned $500,000 in their careers and TY could do it in 11 months. Insane.
Why is Tasteless roaring like a madman in every cast lately? People adore this duo for their intelligence and the depth of their casting mixed with game knowledge, not for fake enthusiasm
To be fair, Artosis is actually his 'normal' self and only puts on the fake enthusiasm when he feels baited by Tasteless. Also, their normal work in Korea they get to do what they love without quite the audiences and pressure of these international tournaments. I also found Tasteless to be annoying throughout IEM Katowice. But he's awesome in GSL so I cut him some slack because they are the best casters around these days. I do like some of the others- Rotti and the PiG/Maynarde combo can be good at times and RapiD as well as Valdes are just unbearable and I'm not a fan so I'll always take these two even if they are 'putting it on' at times.
The difference is the huge English speaking live audience. It's a different dynamic compared to casting for an online audience when they do GSL. Yeah, they're not quite as good at it and go a little over the top, but cut them some slack. You're judging them sitting at your computer, not in the audience immersed in the hype. It's not the same.
He's just trying to make it exciting and do his job well. Commentating at that level isn't about consistency of tone (or fake enthusiasm as you put it), it's about the hype, the intelligence, and the depth that they possess and broadcast to the audience; which is actually very similar to what you said above. I can understand why it's rather annoying, but he's just trying to do his job well. You know what I mean?...i'm agreeing with you, but not in a conventional way.
I watched this live and their hype and passion is great. What on earth is "fake enthusiasm" suppose to mean??? Please don't tell me you are seriously suggesting that they're not genuinely passionate about casting SC2, cause that is just not true. "Fake" is a really inappropriate word here.
Perhaps not the greatest word, but they are not entirely genuine there. Of course they are passionate about the game... it takes a certain type of individual to move to Korea and make casting starcraft his/her livelihood. But a lot of the screaming and the 'batman' voice was definitely not real. I watch every gsl cast... they are never like this, even with the greatest matchups in the world in front of them. It's a "fake voice effect" attributed to "exaggerated enthusiasm." Perhaps that's more appropriate for you... and it's just my opinion. No need to get all riled up about it. You loved the batman voice. Cheers to you. Edit: I realize the original poster also used the term "fake enthusiasm" and I was actually responding to that; therefore, you were likely referring to his statement, not mine. My mistake.
Count me in. People here are just not familiar with the Korean style of casting, which is where tasteless usually commentates. He isn't fake, people here just aren't used to it.
I don't get being upset about it. Is he supposed to be all business? Calmly saying how many probes were killed, calmly talking about position or big attacks that are coming? If he were like that, the same people would be upset that he isn't excited and doesn't care. Who cares what they think.
I remember I watched Tasteless and Artosis cast back in 2011, then I wanted to play this game. It was the same so-called "fake enthusiasm" that brought me to this game. I am not big, just another gold-silver league player, so I guess it's not enough to make the SC2 esports grow. But they will always be my favorite casters.
Are cannons forbidden, or why doesnt he build a few next to his pylon at the ramp? Why would you let your pylon get destroyed instead and not build a nexus in front of the enemy?
"I think i can safely say that this is the greatest IEM Katowice finals that we've ever had in the long history of the tournament." Yeah. No. Shut up please.
I don't know why are people bitchin' about the commentator, that's the reason we come on youtube no? .. my neighbor thinks I'm watching hockey, lol .. if you don't like comments, just get the replay, im sure it's available
awesome fights. i think it is pretty much proved how OP adepts and reapers can be from these guys. feels like Z is lacking a unit with this kind of power and cost efficiency and safety in a T1 unit :/ just seems like P and T have gotten SO many cool tools for both super early and late game. while Z doesn't really seem to get much to make up for this heavy spike power that we see T and P have. they seem to do ok against it on top lvl, but just kind of feel like Z need to Outplay the opponent for a good 15-20 min of fighting to actually land a win, while 1 mistake and they auto lose :/
You all sitting in your basements maybe don't realize this is a huge live tournament with thousands of people in the audience? It's inherently different than GSL. The hype is obligatory.
Love Tastosis, but their over the top live casting sucks. Still better than Apollo's smugness or Khaelaris girly shrieks, those two have legit made me mute several tournaments, and simply not watch others altogether, they are that annoying. Bitterdam will always be the best casting archon to me.
That was the worst commentary I've heard. They missed so much of what was actually going on in the game while they tell us their stupid theories. It was a fantastic final and they ruined it.
why do they have tasteless with his tasteless commentary inclued in grand finals anyway?! His analytics might be ok, but I would rather prefer having apollo instead - his analytics are even sharper and he is not that much annoying!!! Thumbs up for apollo!

12:55 Tastless almost throws up he is so excited. "I absolutely love BLUAH"
The 6th game was amazing.
i guess im the only one loving the excitement that tasteless brings to the katowice finals...
Me too.
Count me in. People here are just not familiar with the Korean style of casting, which is where tasteless usually commentates. He isn't fake, people here just aren't used to it.

Tasteless is awesome, but Tastosis is better. :P
Nope, I love it too!

12:58 greatest commentary
I love how sad and bored the players both look
Yes. The best final ive seen.
*Spoiler Alert*
4th 0:50
5th 8:22
6th 19:40
Did Tasteless really have to use Batman voice throughout this ENTIRE tournament?
super annoying
actually awesome voice. he's trying to bring excitement to a growing e-sport, relax
Growing? Uhhh....
Cringeworthy, fake caster. Where is iNcontroL when we need him?
Yeah, incontrol is so much better
Fantastic games!
Never noticed how much flowers and the grass moves. Trpipy
19:13 DRAMATIC CAMERA ZOOMMMMM
Tasteless burp at 12:57. Even his own body wants him to cease talking already
So much better without sound...
Why are finals always so close? I dont understand. Never seen a finals with 3/0 yet. Is it premade lol
Love Tastosis, awesome finals
what's the counter for siege tanks when you play protoss ? I mean the range of ST is so huge that I usually get pwned before I even get close to it
why the minimap is so mini , i cant see the drops comming
7:48 is this a chinese smile? Is he happy? .......Buda?
what is the theme used in the introduction?
Are cannons forbidden, or why doesnt he build a few next to his pylon at the ramp? Why would you let your pylon get destroyed instead and not build a nexus in front of the enemy?
Stoped playing when they nerfed Zerg and made protross op. Still the same ?
nice game! awesome casters!
So nice to see colossus on high level, i thought they were forgotten
17:28 "This man is looking unbeatable"
Tasteless does a good job, he makes the engagements sound deadly.
0:37 FIRST GAME OF THIS THING
Superbru hoe dan nou die dag bizana hey day
How does stats always knows the starting position of his enemy, and sends his scouting probe straight to enemy base once match starts?
Doctor Gravity The maps are designed to be barely symmetrical, so it's too easy to know where the opponent's base is
Either he was really very excited and nearly falling out of his chair or he watched too much WWE before the event.
Am i the only one to reduce the sound when the commentator start to scream ?
Tasteless must be a big fan of Mr. Torgue from Borderlands 2.
wow TY earned this win.
WILL TASTELESS REALLY YELL THE WHOLE GAME? WILL TASTELESS EVER STOP SHOUTING AT ME? WILL TASTELESS EVER USE HIS INDOOR VOICE?
FIND OUT ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF DRAGON BALL Z
xD awesome itz
TASTELESS THAT GAME 6 INTRO. YOU THE BEST
Game 5 was totally a revenge for game 4's strategy
what is the background music at the very start?
I also want to know? Did you ever find out?
honestly,get Husky as commentator.it would be brilliant
Geeeeeeeez, those two commenting are a pain in the ass... beside that, nice matchup.
Jesus christ Tasteless. Tone it down.
Have to mute the sound every introduction Tastless gives. Cringing too much otherwise..
"I think i can safely say that this is the greatest IEM Katowice finals that we've ever had in the long history of the tournament." Yeah. No. Shut up please.
How i hate his crying
ty is not a human
stats is outgunned idc who wins
do some cheesy cancer 2 win
33:16 LOL
So satisfying watching all of those annoying terran tactics and units get blown up.
geeeeee geeeee!
19:00 "Let's get noisy". Let's not.
My theory is that Tasteless was sick or lost his voice and used a combination of coke/meth and Ricola as a remedy, the former having the most effect.
I still love starcraft 1 siege tank is worthless in 2
keep that reaper arive
Tasteless reminds me of a WWE-announcer
sounds like frikken wrestlemania....
Virtus pro the Best Pasha is najlebszy I love Pasha
Wtf?
that Contain so painful to protos...
very much so, beautiful play.
Today, I finally found out that Stats is a palindrome. 😳
I don't know why are people bitchin' about the commentator, that's the reason we come on youtube no? .. my neighbor thinks I'm watching hockey, lol .. if you don't like comments, just get the replay, im sure it's available
awesome fights.
i think it is pretty much proved how OP adepts and reapers can be from these guys. feels like Z is lacking a unit with this kind of power and cost efficiency and safety in a T1 unit :/
just seems like P and T have gotten SO many cool tools for both super early and late game. while Z doesn't really seem to get much to make up for this heavy spike power that we see T and P have. they seem to do ok against it on top lvl, but just kind of feel like Z need to Outplay the opponent for a good 15-20 min of fighting to actually land a win, while 1 mistake and they auto lose :/
The match was ruined by the commentators
You all sitting in your basements maybe don't realize this is a huge live tournament with thousands of people in the audience? It's inherently different than GSL. The hype is obligatory.
Does Tasteless even like Starcraft? He sounds so bored and indifferent to whats going on
this comment section sure is tasteless for its complains
fire the guy that is not Artosis
why is that moderator screaming like he is trying scare off a gorilla or sth? :/
Why are you screaming? WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?
Love Tastosis, but their over the top live casting sucks. Still better than Apollo's smugness or Khaelaris girly shrieks, those two have legit made me mute several tournaments, and simply not watch others altogether, they are that annoying. Bitterdam will always be the best casting archon to me.
Disgusting that T can do this on a regular basis.
When I listen to Tasteless i really miss Apollo :|
The commentators are good but almost to excited from time to time.,.if you are constantly screaming there is no nuance to the excitement.
WWE!
One cannot watch this with sound on, because of these constantly screaming guys :/
That was the worst commentary I've heard. They missed so much of what was actually going on in the game while they tell us their stupid theories. It was a fantastic final and they ruined it.
That caster's voice was incredibly annoying. Lay off the red bull sir.
luck noob
why do they have tasteless with his tasteless commentary inclued in grand finals anyway?! His analytics might be ok, but I would rather prefer having apollo instead - his analytics are even sharper and he is not that much annoying!!!
Thumbs up for apollo!
first
annoying commentaries and screaming
omg, commentary sucks... send that guy back to wwe
