Tasteless, famous for his shoutcasting on big international events such as WCG, is now moving to South Korea - to cast live on Korean TV.
A big step for the international StarCraft scene was made as Tasteless decided to move to Korea to finally bring the non-Koreans English shoutcast from good matches - both in StarCraft and WarCraft.
Count on a lot of Korean VODS with English casting in the future. Here is what Tasteless himself said about the situation:
- For those of you who don't know me i'm Nick Plott also known as 'Tasteless.' I've been a competitive gamer on SC since the game has come out and have since then moved on to shoutcast many live tournaments such as WCG, Blizzcon and others. I do this because i love this game and esports in general and also have a long time interest in helping it's growth. A week ago i was informed that Arirang TV (http://www.arirang.co.kr/index.asp) has been looking for an English RTS caster. I am very happy to tell you all i have been accepted for this position and will now be broadcasting on Korean national television.
When i first started casting i promised myself i would only cast SC because i feel (actually i flat out know) that SC is the best and most hardcore esports game ever made. However, after time i learned that it was difficult to get hired for many of these events if i was only casting one game. The result was me occasionally casting Warcraft 3 if i was casting Starcraft as well. In Korea i will be covering both War3 and SC because i would not have been hired otherwise. Because i have been vested with the privilege of bringing SC and War3 coverage i plan on working very hard to update my war3 knowledge so i can give the best coverage possible.
