Oh hey you guys, wonderful nerd ballers you,

Did you watch the GSL World Championship Team League? Because oh my god it is soooooooo hot, both in terms of gameplay AND in terms of... shall we say, eye candy ;) . I'm not talking about my usual mancrush Tasteless, the light of my life and carrier of my soul, I'm talking the new captain of the Sixjax team Ar-fucking-tizzle !

Not only did that massively awesome coach Team World ALLSTARS (AW YEA SON), but he CASTED TOO. I mean they basically had Tasteless standing around talking to himself for half the time while Artosis was coaching: HILARIOUS. I mean Gom why you gotta leave my bro hangin like that? But it's allllll gooood because ARTOSIS.... WHEEEEEEW did he ever get me hot and bothered.

Let's be clear here. Never, ever before have I seen a gamer (or, hell, even a coach or manager) look more confident, knowledgeable and graceful in interviews. And that shit is hot. (I'm not kidding, nerds, you want to learn how to make chicks swoon Artosis just schooled you). Let's go to the video, I'll give you a quick transcribe too but navigate to 16:00 if you can to follow along ^_^

Q: "Which players on the team do you think are the most skilled"

A: From My team, the most skilled? I think thats impossible to say. These guys are all mightily talented. I think I have to give a special shout-out to White-Ra and Sen, who have been dominating StarCraft 1 and 2 for years and years and years.

Soooooooooo well said. So graceful, so true. I especially love the use of "mightily." Because 1: HELL YEAH TEAM WORLD IS MIGHTY 2: It's a vocab word :3

But WAIT, there's MORE:

Q: Why did you [pick White-Ra] as the captain of your team, was it because he was the oldest player?

A: White-Ra is a legend in the community and someone everyone looks up to. He's been on Korean TV before beating people such as BoxeR, so he was an obvious choice. In fact I walked into the team house and asked, "Who does everyone think should be captain, White-Ra, right," and everyone said, "absolutely, of course, who else would it be?"

BAM. Artosis just bitch-slapped the question; he made the Korean commentators look STUPID. Of COURSE it's gonna be White-Ra, of COURSE it is. The man is a pillar of Esports (yeah that's right JP I said pillar, WHAT NOW?!), the man's played against BOXER, for crying out loud. So graceful, so true, so hot.

Then @ 26:45 (also @45:00 but SPOILERS for Set 1), He goes and explains his strategy in team world's lineup and shit man, this guy you can tell he is a really really good SC2 coach. I mean you could guess it right? But to see it, to hear it in action; it's a thing of beauty.





Artosis: this post is dedicated to you, man. Keep on being motherfucking awesome.
