Caster Calls Episode 24: Tasteless
127Tasteless has been casting esports before people knew what esports was. Originally a Brood War player, Tasteless went to Korea to pursue a potential career that no one took seriously, and helped create the foundation of English commentating for StarCraft 2. Tasteless remains one of the best hype commentators of the esports world, and with his casting archon buddy Artosis, remains one of the most recognizable brands as well. We talk about his beginnings and how he had to push to even have English commentators at events, his approach to casting currently, and what he thinks the future might entail for his career.
