    What makes the Artosis pylon so funny is how personally he took it. It just cracks me up that he actually felt it was a mark of shame, because that's how seriously he takes the game. I mean, I get it--he was a pro, and prides himself on his skill to some extent. But still... I'd love to have a pylon named after me. 🤣

    I knew about the Artosis Pylon, but I feel out of SC2 a long time ago. Seeing the Tasteless Plyon to back it up was so damn wholesome. So is there any official way to use "Tasteless Pylon"? Does it just mean any back up Pylon, or does it refer to when an Artosis Pylon has another Pylon come up just in time to keep structures powered?

    • @boltstrikes429
      @boltstrikes429 Před rokem +16

      I think it's any pylon that was placed for the sole purpose of providing backup power to buildings
      Example: 4 gates are powered by an artosis pylon. You place another pylon next to all of those - that's the tasteless pylon

    I remember he was talking about that kind of pylon before his incident. If my memory serves me well he invented the term one day, when he said something like "let's call this Artosis pylon" trying to explain the significance of this danger, during a casting. That's probably why Idra used the term. The fact that he did the same mistake it's pure irony.

    Really, even if it came about as a mistake (and probably an embarrassing one) Artosis now has an impact in the game and franchise that no other player or caster will have. Way down the road whenever SC3 happens, it’s still probably going to be called an artosis pylon.
