Dear GOMtv.net users and eSports fans:

We are aware that a lot of you have been anxiously waiting for our announcement about Code A casters for GSL March.

Artosis and Tasteless has requested that they would like some changes in their casting schedule. We valued their opinions and began searching for commentators and casters who would make GSL Code A a fun experience for our fans since then.

Before we tell you who the casters for Code A will be, we want you to know that a lot of consideration has been given for this decision. It is true that many talented casters/commentators applied for the position and we are truly grateful for the attention we have received.

However, due to many constraints that we were faced with including but not limited to time, geographical location, schedule conflicts and personal issues of other applicants, we could not help but choose an applicant who satisfied all the conditions and also had the talent for casting.

This announcement does not mean that the search for the best commentators/casters for GSL Code A is over. With that being said, we at GOMtv would like to let you know that we will keep on improving to better serve our customers and the community and to contribute to the further development of eSports.

For the time being, Tasteless and Artosis will take turns casting with Kelly "kellyMILKIES" Ong Xiao Wei for GSL March Code A. Kelly had a good resume and showed us that she was willing to adapt and improve as a caster.

We are doing our best to find the best and most suitable caster for GSL Code A so for the time being, please show us your support for Kelly and GSL March.

Thank you.

About Kelly:

Kelly "kellyMILKIES" Ong Xiao Wei is from Singapore. She started competitive gaming in 2005 playing CounterStrike 1.6 in both male and female teams. Kelly also plays Rockband/Guitar Hero and won several local tournaments.

I actually like pairing her with a more experienced caster, I think this could be really good.

Not a flame war, but i for one srsly cannot understand this, she will need to improve a great deal, the accent i can live with but the game knowledge/sense thats what i really dont like. But lets hope im wrong and she will be the best caster ever.

not going to get into the Kelly situation but would have really preferred a casting duo

think flow and pace works a whole lot better when two people cast together

I am really not looking forward to having to mute the casts

Just being honest. From what I've seen she is quite horrible at casting. I have no idea how GSL would possibly consider her a viable option...

I hope Kelly refrains from using Singlish seeing this is being broadcasted to a very large international audience. If she can do that, then it should be all good.

I'll give her a chance. I can always mute the stream and talk with friends if she gets on my nerves.

This just might work out, as they pair her with some very experienced and liked GSL casters. Maybe this will let her gain some experience both casting and speaking ability. New people aren't immediately liked, but if they have a strong anchor like Artosis or Tasteless, they have boundless opportunities to improve.

I suggest reading our entire announcement and looking at the big picture instead of just reading parts of it.

I think they are going to add someone else later... I also think its going to be pretty lonely for her there, and for us too, as we are used to watch artosis and tasteless comentate togheter. But aside from the critics lets see how se perfoms

This is far preferable to Kelly casting with anyone else, to be honest, although I do worry that the Kelly/Tasteless pair will be lacking in terms of stats tracking, player trivia, and build analysis (unless Tasteless takes over Artosis' role in that caster pairing).

From the wording of the announcement, I think it's becoming quite clear that some of the other applicants, while qualified to cast, were not available on one week's notice because of visa issues, prior commitments, the expense of booking flights and moving immediately - all practical issues that could get in the way of them showing up for this season, while not preventing them from being hired in the long run.

I have no problems with her at all but I legitimately cannot understand her when she talks, and as for her knowledge of the game, they didn't pair her with an "Artosis" type person.

Sadly this is the only thing I'm happy about. At least we will have Tastosis for half the games.
