[edit] Biography

Tasteless, brother of Sean "Day[9]" Plott, is a highly regarded StarCraft 2 broadcaster originally from Leawood, Kansas in the United States. He has been living and working in Korea since 2009.

Tasteless played as Protoss in Brood War. He switched to Random during the initial stages of the StarCraft 2 beta, then changed his race to Terran for a short time in the early stages of Wings of Liberty.[1] He finally ended up back at Protoss in November 2010.

[edit] In Beta

In the beta, Tasteless participated in several important tournaments. First, he participated in the team event "Stars War" in China, where he represented the United States of America with his friends Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski and Greg "IdrA" Fields. He managed to defeat Susiria of Team Korea on Steppes of War. He also played in the HDH Invitational, losing to White-Ra in the Round of 8. Finally, Tasteless played in the TeamLiquid SC2 Invitational 2, losing in the Round of 16 to CauthonLuck.

[edit] Wings of Liberty

In September of 2010, Nick joined Team Evil Geniuses with IdrA to serve as the team's new StarCraft II Division Manager.[2] However, on March 31st, 2011, Tasteless announced he was "quitting EG" via his twitter. This news was unsurprising to most due to team EG's refocus on the western e-sports community over the e-sports community in Korea.[3][4]

[edit] Broadcaster

Tasteless first worked as a caster for GOMtv's Brood War division. He has also long worked with Artosis, providing dual commentary with him in Brood War. In the fall of 2010, the two landed a job casting the GSL in English. Since then, Tastosis has been the primary English-language broadcasting team for GOMtv.

Starting in 2008, Tasteless worked with Jason Lee to broadcast Starcraft for Arirang TV's e-sports program. They have been broadcasting StarCraft 2 since the summer of 2011.

Tasteless has also been a caster at many important foreign tournaments, especially those in the United States. Some examples include:

[edit] Trivia

  • He played Protoss in Brood War.
  • His brother Day(9) is also a formidable Brood War/StarCraft 2 player and commentator.
  • He is allergic to cinnamon and hates olives.[citation needed]
  • Contrary to popular belief, his coarse and somewhat guttural voice is not a result of smoking, but due to excessive stress on his throat from long casting sessions.[5]
  • He was featured by GomTV in a mini-documentary called "Behind the Booth" that debuted during Blizzcon 2011.[6]
  • He was given the nickname "Sightless" by Artosis at Dreamhack Winter 2011 due to a bad eye infection he picked up just before the event.
