I've watched the work you guys do for about a decade now and look forward to seeing where it goes next. Hopefully Afreeca sees the value in keeping Tastosis as the casters. It really wouldn't be the same. Whether or not they do, thank you for hosting all these years and I'll keep an eye out for what's next!
Never knew you were into the starcraft BW scene Steve haha, Art is OG af, wondering if you remember the days when Testie etc. and grudge matches were a thing?
10 years ago I was a child, I literally grew up watching GSL and tastosis. I will always remember the good times. Whatever direction your life takes you, with or without GSL, I am thankful for the those times and wishing the best for your future.
Feel the exact same way.. I feel sad I'm probably never going to get to see GSL with Tastosis in person! I've watched the stream whilst living in 5 different timezones and can't count the moments I've been gripped to my screen. Good luck Artosis!
Hey artosis, I've been watching you guys for the entire time, since 2009 I have been following broodwar and then sc2 as well. I've always had Korea as a bucket list for me to see you and tasteless cast live but I always pushed it back due to life obligations. But the fact I won't get to see you in person doesn't mean much considering all the nights I spent watching you guys. I've stayed up so many times in my life to watch you and tasteless and I've honestly loved the GSL show more then I knew. I'm not sure what will happen when you leave there but in the chance they don't want to have you back, I do want to say thanks for all the amazing times I had. You have truly given me nights of laughter, suspense and escape from a sometimes hectic life. The Twelve years glued to the same show has been great, you will find success anywhere you go but I am glad you chose my home country Canada. I hope it will be a great place for you and your family and I commend you on looking out for your family first. Congrats and thanks again. Big thanks.
I am so sad that I can't see you and tasteless casting together regularly anymore. You two are by far the best casting duo out there. Best of luck with everything man!
I've spent the past 7 years raising my child and remodeling a house. Pouring my blood, sweat and tears into each project. And whenever I've needed a break. Artosis & Tasteless we're there every single time to help me through all the rough patches and stressful days. And I couldn't be more grateful. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you 🖤
end of an era. day9 got me into the scene, but as i matured i gravitated to the korean scene and your content in particular. no one has contributed as much as you, and i look forward to what is next for you.
Definitely feels like the end of an era, but moving to Canada potentially allows for the resurrection of In-Depth! I really hope that turns back into a thing because I absolutely loved that show.
As I said on Tasteless' channel, you are most wise to insist that Tastosis is never broken. You two together have unparalleled synergy in SC/SC2 casting. BattleAxe!
Artosis, one of my lifelong dreams has been to visit you and tasteless in the studio for GSL as many other foreigners have done throughout the years. However, as a Canadian I will be more than happy to settle visiting you casting a game on my home turf. Best of luck in all your future endevors!
Crazy that the both of you have become such important parts of my every day entertainment. Every round of GSL feels like the super bowl to me when both of you are there. Can’t imagine it without you!
Good luck man. I watched you since GOMTV like 12 years ago and still do. Thanks for the great and awesome casts! You are a perfect duo with tasteless and you’re genuine, awesome dudes.
i really hope Afreeca TV takes the deal to make tastosis online happen, you 2 guys are by far the best and most enjoyable casters ever and the decade long chemistry between you too adds so much and is simply irreplacable. i think without tastosis the GSL foreign scene would take a very big dive.
How does that live casting work online? Artosis would have to be up around 3-5am at his place 2 days a week? I am fine with it but I am not sure if he want to do it that way.
@@tigera6 I believe the pitch is that it would work the same as the English Cast for ASL works right now. Afreeca provide Tastosis the VOD to cast over, Tastosis and their small production team would be funded via community support through a Patreon page.
@@adpt_musicThe thing is, I am pretty sure that Afreeca would want to do the English LIVE for GSL like how is has been. They canceled ASL cast and thats why they let Tastosis do it through the VOD in the first place. SC2 is still popular enough among international fanbase that Afreeca will likely to continue it. So if Tastosis want to do it like ASL, they will have to go AGAINST Afreeca production, which Afreeca will have none of it most likely.
I lived in Seoul from 2007-2010 thats how I learned about Starcraft. I’ve been watching you guys for over a decade. I just really appreciate you, man. What a cool move for your family! All the best!
Welcome to Canada. PEI is beautiful and a great place to raise a family. I’ve enjoyed the casting over the years as I’ve grown up raising my family while watching StarCraft, it’s been great to see you do the same.
Shoot dude. Others have posted it as well but man it’s been on my list of things to do to watch you and Tasteless live in Korea and the first two reasons why I haven’t were income and the language barrier. (Last is having a baby) Looks like I’m out of time figuring out how to get out there. A bummer in another way that the duo may end in GSL is that I have watched you throughout a lot of good and bad times in my life. The humor and comradery you guys have has been a buoy for me through the more dramatic times in my life. Everything I’ve said is pretty selfish haha. I’m glad and happy that you are doing what’s best for your family. That’s what is most important after all! Here’s to hoping you and Tasteless get to do more high quality content online. Sheesh I’m actually going to have to start listening to the Tastosis podcast I have been paying for- for so long hahaha
watching live would be the same thing but without the stellar production value and the hillarious chat .. dont see why its worth spending thousands to get there to do it .. and the korean people/food arent really worth the trip either as they're notoriously racist and the food is like american bbq thats just made spicier .. with the exception of the spectacular bulgolgi which cant be replaced .. but it also easy enough to make at home.
I was happy-sad with this news and then my heart dropped when I realised I too will not be able to get out there and see them live ever now :( I was actually excited for the day I could take my eldest along to one of their casts, but I guess instead it will have to be Stormgate or something else. Damn. Feels.
@@paxconsciente3352 Raised eyebrows at the notoriously racist comment only to find you have at least 8 black metal videos I like on a playlist :P and you also have a playlist called "nig".
I’ve been watching your GSL show for over a decade at this point, and it’s always been a reliable way to relax and laugh when I’ve been having a stressful week. Sad to see the end of this era, but good luck in your new life in Canada!
Wow dude. Gonna miss you in the GSL if it doesn't work... I literally skip some casts that your sick or on holidays for. Tastosis casting gsl into old age is actually a dream I've held tight for years. Very happy I can still get tastosis from the ASL. Like everyone else I've been watching you for over a decade, laughing lysterically and learning all the time. Godspeed on your venture!
I've been watcing tastosis for decades. It's been a part of my life. Wish you the best on everything and can't wait to see new stuffs you will bring to your channels.
I've been watching you and Tasteless since the old days of GOMTV when I was in high school, you've been through quite the journey and it keeps going. Whatever the future brings I wish you and your family nothing but the best.
As a plain normal game loving south Korean, I would like to give my huge appreciation to you and it's been always pleasure for me to hear English comments during starcraft games. The reason I listened to you guys although I am a native Korean speaker, was the free vibe you guys have. That's a thing I couldn't really feel when I listen to Korean commentators. It's really a big shame to lose you from Korea, but I hope you keep only good memories about my country. Wish you a great future to you and your family!
Daaaamn I’m happy for you man! I’m in Québec and PEI is an AMAZING place, you chose well! While I have issues with Artosis the Gamer LOL, Artosis the Caster will always be my favorite caster and it’s not even close. No one has contributed more than you to the Starcraft scene and I truly hope GSL moves it online so Tastosis lives on in GSL. If they don’t, well I hope you can cast IEM and other major tournaments more! Cheers man!
Hi Artosis! I really appreciate you posting your story and thoughts about the moving. As a long-time fan, it means a lot to hear about your experience with your family and career in Korea. Thank you for being transparent and sharing your story with us.
So happy for you, Dan, and best of luck to you and your family in your new home! I’m sorry I haven’t followed GSL lately because of changes in my own life and family. Last time was shortly after your oldest was born, can’t believe you now have four precious Terrans. So many great Tastosis moments. Thank you for all you have done for StarCraft and Esports while based in Korea and will continue to do from Canada.
so glad you decided to do this video I had so many questions but you answered all of them. Very exciting for you Dan! BTW I am surprised PEI on the East Coast still has decent ping to Korea? I'm in the East Coast and it's 250ms albeit I'm in Washington DC area. Anyway bon voyage end of an era glad you're still doing SC2.
Tosis, are you going to explore opportunities casting SC2 with the wider SC2 casting community at other events like IEM etc? Would love seeing you back with Maynard, Pig, ZG and the others.
Thanks for the beautiful memories, you and Nick both made the GSL extra special for me with your fun casting. I am going to miss the casting archon in the GSL! All the best with the next steps in your career and for your family in Canada!
GSL has been a major part of my life since 2010, and I'm gonna miss the hell out of you and Nick being together. Proud of you for doing whats right for you and your family, wish you guys nothing but the best. Thanks for all the years of joy, Dan.
Hi Artosis, hard to imagine GSL without you and Tasteless casting most of the nights! I started watching GSL in 2012, back when you had to pay for the GOMtv subscription, and have not missed one season since. Would be fun if they brought you in virtually once in a while to cast with him. Either way I will still watch the GSL :D More importantly welcome to Canada! It sounds like you and your wife are making a decision that is in the best interest of your family. You also make a good point that eSports is now more global, hopefully the NA scene continues to develop and who knows maybe there will be a new version of the NASL that you could commentate for?
Wishing you all the best Artosis! I'm still watching GSL to this day (and this season) because of your casts with Tasteless, like many others. Love to see your streaming taking off with youtube. Your interactions with guy in chat has been funny as hell, so entertainment is guaranteed haha. Thanks for all these years covering the Korean scene for us who can't speak it. E-sports and Starcraft would have not been the same had you guys not gone over, truly a S tier NA terran.
You got the skills man, got a great and easy voice to listen to. You will be fine whatever you choose to do. Going more into the freelance side is good, don't be afraid to try some new things as well. I mean could always get into the Dota 2 scene, :P.
Happy for you and your new adventure. It will be sad if GSL decides to get a new caster alongside Tasteless because you two are what makes that stream a must watch. Will definitely continue to follow what you do with your move. Good luck with the move, looking forward to seeing you on at least one more season of GSL!
During Tasteless' stream last night Tasteless didn't want to stream with anyone else other than Artosis and said the viewers probably didn't want that either; so basically it's GSL with tastosis or none at all rn. He also said he knew Arty was planning on moving out of Korea like a year ago from now so it's been a long time in the making already.
@@anonamos701 I dont know how that would work though. Even if GSL allow them to do English cast LIVE online, that means Artorsis will have to be up at 3-5am his time zone twice a week during the GSL. That would really mess up his life schedule and all that. But if they think about doing the English cast on VOD, like ASL, its not as good production, plus the delay and spoiler would just kill all the hype. So its good that Tasteless taking up his side next to Artorsis, but as a viewer, I would prefer the Live English GSL cast no matter what. If that means we have two new caster, then so be it.
@@tigera6 Tasteless said GSL English just won't be live anymore, it'll be like ASL uploads with translations and editing. But in the end, that's still up to afreecaTV so if they decide to get 2 new EN casters then that's that unfortunately, yea. They have til October to figure it all out so as viewers, we don't exactly get much input than what we're given unfortunately. I myself only watch their ASL casts so GSL isn't too much of a thing for me, mostly just here for their dynamics if anything because I find Tastosis entertaining with their banter.
@@samusaran13372 In case you didnt know, GSL is much more popular than ASL in term of international viewership. And GSL still has official live English cast even after ASL stopped last year.
Follow your bliss arty! Been watching you for probably over 10 years which is crazy. Hope the best for you and the family, my favorite form of tosis has been dadtosis!
First there’s a war in my country and now this? I’m very thankful for many hours of entertainment and great memories Arty. Gonna miss the GSL without you but as I’m also becoming a father I totally understand you! Wish you all the best Artosis! It’s been a hell of a ride and I’m looking forward to see tastosis cast again, wherever and whenever
@@ominousbiscuit Free like Mariupol? sure Zombie ruzzian, soon you will be free of Putler and fascist ideology of russki mir and re-educated like Germans were in 1945
@@ominousbiscuit You really believe that propaganda man? Open your eyes, both sides are lying. And how dare you telling someone WHO LIVES IN THE WAR there is no war?! Are you living there or is he living there? Does he get his information from right in front of his door and his relatives and friends or do you get your information from state controlled Russian media? Do you think media always tells the truth? Doesnt matter the side, both are biased and the small man and woman in Ukraine who just want to live their lives, see their children grow like everyone else, have to suffer from it. How is bombing civilian structures like the shopping center the last days "freeing"? The pictures and Videos are online you can look them up. Russia assured in the Budapest Memorandum the terretorial integrity and independence of the state of Ukraine. Please look up the Budapest Memorandum. It's not the time of the Soviet Union anymore man, even tho Putin wants to turn back the time, IT ISNT. Be real man.
After not watching or playing sc for 7 years I just started watching the GSL again. Happy to be just in time to thank you for all the laughter and excitement and I wish you all the best in the future!
StarCraft Broodwar and StarCraft 2 are my favorite games but it doesnt feel right that Artosis and Tasteless potentially leaving GSL, But whatever happens we support. Thanks for the ride Dan! A Trailblazer and a legend in this business.
Well done Artosis. I remember when I was in high school... SC2 had been announced... and my friends and I took up an interest in SC again. I watched all the WOL GSL casts because of you and Tasteless. Good times. I nearly came to Korea to watch a few times. Although the times of watching you two come in on cold winter days (seemed like a common thing you two would talk about) and casting may be over I look forward to the future. Who knows! Maybe SC 3 will be announced and you guys will be back at it again! 😁
love you RT, always want to see you and your family prosper. will always be grateful for all of the years/knowledge of SC that you have bestowed upon the world
PEI is beautiful, I just came back from my second trip there and cannot wait to go again. My child loved the beaches and there seems to be a playground around every corner.
Thanks so much for putting this out, am very happy to hear it is not the end of Tastosis as you guys are the sole reason I got into starcraft (keep up the laughter and banter). Hope the move goes well and all the adjustments go as smoothly as they can!
You are going to love PEI. I lived there for a few years and it's one of the most beautiful, laid back places I've been. Best of luck on the new chapter of your life!
Good luck Artosis ! all the best wishes to you and your family :) sadly there will be no that delicious Korean food :D Question: will you be coming to korea sometimes to make Events like "Tasteless Lan Party" togheter with Nick?
I appreciate all the work you've done for the community, RT. i grew up playing brood war with my closest friends and now have my first child. It changes everything! Where you are headed in Canada seems like a beautiful place to raise a family. I wish you nothing but the best in the future and am excited to keep watching your stream. AYAYA.
I lived in Asia for 10 years, eventually left after having a kid for the same reasons. I hope Tastosis GSL continues, but obviously your family comes first. Best of luck man.
Very bummed that I missed the chance to come see you and Tasteless cast GSL in there studio but I wish you the best. Hope you get to keep casting GSL remotely 💪
You and Tasteless are just the best. I always appreciate your high quality commentary and casting. It's an exciting time for you! All the best, travel safe, and enjoy being close to family when the time comes!
Congrats on the move! all completely reasonable and absolutely seems like the right choice for your family. And props to you all for living and working in such a small space for so long My Question: Are you planning (to any degree) to do more collaborations with NA based content creators now? I know starcraft will always been the main focus, but things like Bros vs pros are always great, and I personally love cross pollination of communities when it happens.
Well welcome to Canada Eh. only things you need to learn is to say sorry a lot, hold the door open well before someone is close to it, and that hockey is clearly superior to American football and you hate the Leafs.
lol i never hold the door and am actually annoyed when others do. I'm always like, no really, its not necessary - I'm 10 feet away and then they get annoyed :P
It's all about the canadian classic, opening the door far enough away that they feel obligated to speed up and say sorry for taking to long, then you say sorry for opening it to far away lmao
i am sure gonna miss gsl ... its will not be the same without you .... your still my hero .. sure your gonna make it where ever you are ... good luck ... you and tasteless are the best commentaters ... gsl replays will have to do ... thankfully you made alot of content ...i will be watching it till i die .. you da man .. as we say here in detroit MI usa
End of an era for sure. Been following you guys on and off from around the times Idra played in Korea, thanks for the hours and hours of entertainment!
My brother got me into gsl in season 1, we came to Korea to watch in 2012 and met you guys, super nice to us and happy that we came from England to watch gsl. You and Tasteless are the gsl for me so i hope you keep doing it in an asl format afterwards. You guys are still the greatest commentators a game has ever had GL in Canada mate I will still be supporting!
We all appreciate the transparency in what you're doing and support you 100%. Glad to see you make the best moves for your family and yourself while also hoping we won't miss out on tastosis casts!! Best of luck
Thanks for the memories, man. It's great seeing you and Nick cast and meeting you guys in Vegas years ago. I hope you and your families lives are happy and fulfilled.
Man.... I have been watching you since it was GOMtv back when... buying all the GSL tickets for every season... I really hope you are still able to continue to bring us the GSL games, we wish you all the best and will do what we can to support you
Love your work, love your personality. I'm incredibly happy for you and your family. Hopefully GSL decided to let you broadcast remote, but you have to do what's best for you and so do they. Congratulations on an amazing career this far. I'm excited for the next chapter.
Thank you for casting for so many years. I have been watching the GSL streams since the open seasons. Listening to you and Tasteless brightened up my day every time. Thank you for normalising "nerd" culture and having so much fun with it. Good luck in Canada.
sir congratulations - i literally JUST booked impromptu tickets to Seoul to watch the second last GSL you're gonna cast live and in person - looking forward to Monday and Tuesday
I had no idea you were a fellow twin dad, that's awesome man! Been watching you guys since the Gom days and you have been the only content creator I've remotely followed this long.
Good luck with your future endeavours bro!! I haven't been following SC2 games for long, but hearing your voice alongside with Tasteless' has made it so much more fun to watch!
Welcome to Atlantic Canada Artosis! I have followed you guys since 2009-2010.. What a ride man! I moved to the Atlantic region a few years ago with my family. Unlike you, I did not test the internet before moving to my house and got stuck with DSL hahah Enjoy this new part of your journey :) Can't wait for Stormgate!
I will be watching the 3rd GSL season with so much different feelings to it. I have been watching GSL since 2013. I grew up a lot, changing a lot, but GSL was the constant. For me an era is ending, and I will be missing it dearly. Thank you for everything you have done so far.
Ive been watching you commentate sc2 since 2008. I appreciate everything that you and tasteless have done for sc2. I hope you are able to continue in the ASL format. If not, thank you for the laughs and the commentary, you have been a big part of my life.
