Tasteless to shoutcast in Korean TV
Posted by Jacob "Genie" Holm 4 years ago
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.

| #54 LOL #45 It's his life and he can do whatever he wants to do so worry about yourself. I'm pretty sure shout casters in Korea can make a decent living since pro gaming is big. Also they travel to WCG, IEF, and other events. |
| YES YES YES!!!! Gogo Nick! |
| GJ Tast hope to see alot of your broadcast game soon :P |
| red hair kinda normal tough :P |
| pure <3 tasteless Arirang TV heh? i like! |
| This is fantastic news but Tasteless looks like some Russian Mafia member with that red hair, lip ring, and malicious look on his face. |
| Good luck Tasteless, you kickass! |
| Wait...wud? Reminder: Only English at this section of the page! This rule exists because, at this moment, English is the main language for written material at GosuGamers. Posts in other languages will be censored and may result in a warning. |
| Glad to see someone going for what they want instead of just becoming another drone to society like everyone else. Well done tasteless, you have many fans outside korea, and hopefully now you'll get even more fans inside. |
| rofl nick all ur missing is the fangs |
| Good luck! Hope for some kickass casts |
| this sounds by far more organized than draco's korea trip :D |
| @ Hehe not really, Nick is sexy and calm like a teddybear |
| deletely itely ditely. delettidelettii deleeeeete Deeeeleeeete.. - Gosugamers Hymn. |

| O yea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STORM OBSERVER ftw !!!!!!!!!! |
| But will he be on korean Tv or? |
| First an english player to korea (in many years...) , now and an english caster to korea, this can only mean one thing...AWESOMENESS =) This plus the fact that an amateur league is set to be put in place can only mean very very good things =D (Idra will get early league time ;o ) P.S. HAPPY NEW YEAR~! (from hong kong) |
| #77 that's kind of rude =( |
| Day + Tasteless commentating together FTW |
| #77 ^_^ |
| "woooooot. this is like the most awesome bestest thing evarh!!" YAY <3 !! |
| IdrA, they have linked teamliquid to the source, as far as im aware GG.net covers the foreign scene and tl.net pays more ettention to the korean scene, to be honest, i am both a tl.netter and a gg.netter, and i don't understand the hostility between the two sites. Both sites serve a different purpose but do the same thing really. I just think it's good to get the news around, maybe they didnt find this infomation on gg.net, perhaps someone PMed them telling them this, or saw them on bnet and told them this, but anyway, they have clearly listed TL.Net as a source, drop it. |
| Okay, he dropped it for 2 weeks, trust me. |
| Why do you keep banning/censoring people who are bringing this up? It's a recurring issue. |
| Nobody has been banned because of this. Idra was banned because he was rude. Everything is in place, and there are no further need to discuss it. |
| shit they shoulda let bunny take this job LOLOL gj tasteless you're my hero btw what does this job pay???????? just curious ~~ |
| Congratulations, good luck dude ;) |
