Kelly is meant as a caster not to be someone who brings knowledge or understanding to the game (she is a plat player), but to bring excitement to the game that is not present in code A matches due to the high number of bad games.



You do understand that a few of the Code A players could win the GSL... Squirtle DIDN'T lose 1 game until he face Nestea after destroying Mvp.

This is a setback for GOM, and believe me when I say they feel it... And they should...


Yeah, but until they make Code S, no one cares nearly as much. I only watched 3-4 code A games (based on the poll in the TL thread) and the code A finals. The problem isn't that code A is full of bad players, but that the games are usually really really lopsided.


Not really, the competition's looking fierce this season. Sure there's still a few bad players left over from the pre-season but the quality of the games will still be twice as good this time around. I say 2 more seasons max before code A competition and code S competition are both intense.

Ultimately though, it's all about the viewer's opinion, and I still cannot believe that GOM is willing to risk doing this despite all the negative response. We're not talking about some random tournament, this is supposed to be SC2 at the highest level, and nothing less than the very best possible will suffice. Unless GOM specifically states they had a special reason to hire Kelly, the complaints will continue.

Also, I posted this wall of text at the bottom of Page 11, I don't really like doing this, but I feel it got lost in some post surge about Code A arguments, and there is a lack of opinion from a Singaporean perspective:

This looks exactly like Tasteless + Susie from GOM Claasic S2, but with one huge difference.

Susie knew a lot about the Korean culture and the Proscene that she was able to give us info and tidbits about the Korean players and such from a Korean perspective, not to mention doing on scene translation of Korean. Yet due to negative response back then they replaced her with SuperDanielMan of the exact same things people are worried about now minus the accent - lack of game knowledge, not speaking as much (Tasteless and Artosis would probably be the more dominant voice, and djWheat described her as almost timid)

kellyMILKIES bring nothing new to the table, judging by the comments of that last 70+ page thread and from listening to her myself. As a Singaporean myself, I'm going to admit that dropping the Singlish from one's speech is ridiculously hard, it took me 5 years of WoW with Aussies to be able to completely fix it online, and even then it's just so easy to revert back to speaking Singlish when with friends. And Singaporeans are hard wired to pronounce certain words the wrong way - it's been taught to us from our school days such as pronouncing "three" as "tree".

So I don't really get the point of getting Tastosis to um teach her the ropes? babysit? Not sure what the purpose is... Either way I don't see why they would gamble like that despite the news riling up the community as seen in the last thread. Best of luck to GOM regardless.

Speaking of which, time to go back and watch some Tastsusie again, good times.


They need to maintain the quality of their tournaments, especially casting wise, with the rise of the new NA league, which would probably feature some huge casting talent.

Ugh, sad decision. Lets hope she can learn something from them and they can teach her to not interrupt them aswell as speak clearly/stop using her accent(lol)... I'm a dreamer I know...

PS. Was a bit excited to see Torch cast, think in the end GOM is better of having a dedicated Code A caster duo, though this might work for now...

as much as I don't want her to cast I think this is going to EPIC when she's paired with tasteless. He's going to be cracking jokes all the time that she probably won't get. As good as artosis is at analyzing ,I do not think he will have any chemistry with her. Tasteless brings out the chemistry from him. I have feeling there's going to be giant moments of silence with her and tasteless when they are showing the players and talking about them since artosis covers that and he actually hits those players on ladder.

BUT INCONTROL! for other casting spot please lol that would make having her alright!

If so, it's probably the best way to highlight to Gom that they made a bad decision.

Y'all need to quit being Huge Babies and just deal with it. I have subscribed to every season of GSL because I LOVE STARCRAFT. If you're going to let someone with an accent you don't like prevent you from watching really great games you need to reevaluate what your priorities.

GOM has made their decision, for now at least, you all need to suck it up and stop whining.

Why can't people tender at least some opinion now? We have got to listen to her cast. Do you think that casting GSL Code A will magically change the way she talks?


Yes, actually. Singaporeans can choose to speak in Singlish or more of standard English. Those that did have proper English education anyway. It's not a "built-in accent that cannot be changed" thing.


I have looked through a few of her casts and I don't see her with the ability to turn it "on" and "off". Lets hope she can though or GOMTV may loose a good chunk of the foreigner audience watching Code A (except for foreigner games). Personally, I have stayed up till 3 - 5am to watch Code A before, that wont happen next season.
Definitely gonna switch to G, the only race I havent played yet. - TLO

Uff, such a bad decision although we knew it would happen. Anyways as I said, I will give her one week and decide on subscribing after that.

The biggest problem is for the people outside the community, who are just gonna get into GSL or aren't hardcore nerds. Her accent will take a long time to get used to for a lot of people. If someone opens GOM Player, hears her, and then goes, 'Wow, I can't understand', then you potentially lose someone RIGHT THERE.

Can someone ban this guy please?

Where did you read that people were going to stop watching Code A because of Kelly? Hmm? Where did you read here that anyone here HATES starcraft? Eh?

No I didn't think so.

People said they're going to HATE watching Code A with Kelly. And if possible they will avoid it by watching a restream recast, or finding the original Korean stream or something.

Read the thread before you post.

It's not that we don't like starcraft its a turn off watching the games with someone casting like her. I mean casting makes games more exciting which made people buy/watch these kind of tournaments.
Imagine watching NBA or La Liga or Superbowl with a caster like that? Blood bathe will commence lol

@ andrewwiggin
Have you read this PAGE? -Archangel- right above you said she will directly effect whether he subscribes or not. Several people have said either flat out that they won't watch in this thread or the last thread, or at least that they may stop watching code A all together if she's as terrible as they're sure she will be.

If people can put up with IPP and his maweens they can put up with this.

One of my biggest worries isn't being unable to understand her, I can always watch the game muted. But this is currently the biggest StarCraft tournament out there. And THIS is the personal webpage of the person they choose to be a face of their tournament to international audiences.


InControL, I need your announcement now.

Well I guess we can hope that along with the rotation of Tasteless and Artosis they rotate a roll of ducktape with them to tape her mouth shut rendering her unable to speak.

Its very hard to listen to her english because of her accent. Sure I guess I would speak a bad english myself but this is something to consider when you broadcast to an international audience. Some people have enough problems listening (and understanding) the cast when native speakers like Tastosis do they job, it will only get worse if she starts casting.
I'll give her a chance, but I think the casts would have been better with Torch helping out or even some of the other progamers if they are already out of the tournament.

Can you blame them though? They find out she's casting... they look for her latest casting vids on youtube/streaming...

... and they can't understand half of what she's saying. =/
