people actually pay for the vods, they should not have to "mute" the casters for it watchable, its part of the entertainment, hope she is out after one season and get someone like wolf in instead

I cannot believe GOM did this without counsulting the community. This is just horrible news. Her voice is so annoying it makes her casting unwatchable, regardless of the acuracy of the analysis. I will not be watching the code A until they can come up with somone decent. I would rather the analysis be horrible if the person was bearable. Bad move GOM, watch your Code A ratings plummet.

At least she got the balls to go over to Korea and try it. Does anybody know if she speaks Korean fluently?

I hope they reconsider, i would love to be able to listen to the casts instead of muting. Or see a drastical improvement from her side.

Kelly + Artosis will be fine, but Kelly + Tasteless may be horrible. Artosis does the majority of game analysis when he is casting so i'm not sure what to expect when he's not there. Could be horrible but it could also be hilarious.


Eh. If Tasteless can channel his old self, it ought to be similar to Taseless and lil-susie in Season 2 of GOMtv classics (though admittedly, lil'susie is very easy to understand.) Not knowing all the ins and outs of all the casters applied, this seems to be a decent temporary arrangement. Kelly gets to be mentored and Tasteless and Artosis gets a break from casting 5-8hrs a day. In addition, it maintains some continuity from the previous seasons. It might have been too great a 'culture shock' switching from Tastosis to two entirely different casters.' With a little more continuity, the transition hopefully will be a little more smooth while Kelly finds her feet and GOM can eventually find the second (or even 3rd caster).

Here's to hoping.

I personally think this is offensive to women everywhere. The first thing my GF said when she heard about this was "Thats it, you CANT buy another season pass".

That being said I think its sad that the non-native English community gets screwed over even more. I let a few of my friends who aren't that proficient in English listen to some her casts and they couldn't understand every other word. This is going to be a disaster.

Another thing I don't understand is people saying that she will improve her English - in a country where no one speaks english and I bet finding a english-speech-therapist is quite hard to find.

I feel I must also be clear that I do not criticize Kelly personally at all. All the best to her. The responsibility for this lies entirely with GOM.


How disgusting, shitting all over her and then saying it's nothing personal and even wishing her "all the best". Wow.

How is this "offensive to women everywhere"? Was she declared the best female in the world or anything? And what does your gf have to do with it? Girl A not liking girl B is ultimate proof that girl B is incompetent and unlikable? What kind of sick thinking is that?

You're doing a poor job hiding your very own resentment behind your girlfriend and "women everywhere".

These Kelly threads are sickening. This is not a community, it's a mob in the worst sense of the word. If Kelly actually shows up for the job in spite of the shitstorm, she'll already have proven more balls than many of you haters who think of GOM as your personal servants will ever have.

This i would have to say is one of the better statements I've read in this thread. looking at the old videos you can see shes gotten better. thats a good sign. it means there is hope she can make meaningful comments that people can understand. its probably best we all sit back and wait for her to give it a shot before coming to a conclusion. if your concerned and don't know if you want to support gom with your money as a result of this decision, you can watch the live stream and get an idea of how she sounds and if you can understand what she is saying. give it a few shows before coming to a conclusion. if you can't stand it, then try the day passes. you can then enjoy the Tastosis casts of Code s and avoid the Code a casts with kelly. in other words, hope for the best and prepare for the worst.



for the record, the one video where she is casting some green screen with odd blobs(aka not starcraft) thats horrible and i can't understand but 2 words out of either of the casters. the other video of starcraft, shes much better but still difficult for me to understand at times. I think she gets a little too excited and tries to talk out an entire thought process rather than doing short descriptive comments. if she can shorten it up and make an effort to speak clearly, she should be fine. lets hope thats the case.

I'm not understanding why people are saying I hope she improves? She has been doing this for years, people don't change the way they cast in one month of GSL. If she never had any experience and these VODs of her casting were like her first couple games, I would say she might be able to improve in a month of casting with Tastosis.

Even on her twitter, she talks about how hard she is going to "try to improve" and other statements that sound unsure and not confident. If she was as good as everyone who thinks she is going to do well, she'd say I am good enough to cast the GSL and will be able to fill the shoes GOM has given to me.

This isn't some random tournament that needs average casters wanting to improve, this is the GSL Code A, one class under the most prestigious Starcraft 2 tournament in the World. I am hopeful that she does improve as much as she hopes she does, but I will be a cynic and doubt her success until Feb. 22.

I don't know if it's racism or sexism some guys in here are having. We have to deal with American male casters almost all the time (and don't get me wrong - all of American casters I know are great!). Since she's not American her accent is ofc little different. As a non English speaker I can only say that I understand everything she says. It's just a different accent which many people might not be familiar with. So what? Who cares? She obvisiosly has a lot of knowledge and passion for the game. so let her do her job. I think next GSL is gonna be great

Tasteless and Artosis will take turns casting with Kelly "kellyMILKIES" Ong Xiao Wei for GSL March Code A.

Actually, that sounds very entertaining to me^^. Artosis and kellyMILKIES casting together? Thats a combination never would have thought about 2 weeks ago.

kellyMILKIES: "blabla"
Artosis: "No, you are wrong"
...
Of course Artosis would never say something like this directly, he is to professional for that. But still, gonna be funny!

Racism?

Lol. Why do people always bring up the racism/sexism cards?

It's nothing to do with that. People just can't understand what she's saying half the time. =/

You can understand her? Great. You're one of the few.

I think this is a big improvement. I'd like if they could get a little stable of casters and switch them off. Tasteless and Artosis gets dry after a while. I think mixing it up will make everyone's casting more entertaining.

well, i recently went back to watch GSL open season 1, and boy did tasteless and artosis NOT have any chemistry back then. To everyone worried about them(Kelly + Tastosis) not having any chemistry, give it some time and it will be there. They will be afterall working with each other alot!

As for the accent, you can choose to not listen to it or choose to get used to it. =S.. haha who knows, she might actually catch on to the american accent considering theres not many singaporeans to talk to in korea =p. anyway, ill give it a few weeks to really judge her performance! all the best kelly!


Totally... why hire a Swedish person with no English knowledge whatsoever..
You can either choose to not listen to it or to get used to it.
People don't understand what she's saying, that's the biggest problem.




What is this! I thought she sounded bad in the other video but what in the world! This must have been old right? bc this is like jibberish...

Maybe it is because I don't play DOTA and have no clue what is going on, thus making it harder for me to approximate what she is saying. I hope she takes a breath when commentating SC2 so we can hear clearly


lol this video...

I played DotA for years and I can barely understand what she's talking about. Also, I nearly fell out of my chair when that guy started going "Engage...ENGAGE..._ENGAGE_!". That was actually the most bizarre shoutcast of DotA I've ever heard in my entire life.

It makes me happy that GOM all but issued an apology with this announcement, like "sorry for this, we chose the best we could find, but we're still looking."

Okay. She has balls. Big ones. Giant Cahones.

...now do you reckon that magically changes the way she casts/speaks?

Big fat NO.

Think before you post buddy. Your argument makes no sense at addressing anyone's concerns here.

Kelly has been casting and commentating for local live tournaments and WCG/ESWC/WGT qualifiers for CS1.6, WC3, and DOTA since 2006.
IN SC2, she is best known for her commentary on live games, especially in the SEA/ANZ scene. She has commentated at SMM 2010, Blizzard Invitational SEA/ANZ region to name a few.


They failed to mention that all these events especially the DOTA casting got so much bad press that the tournament almost fell over. Kelly might be a nice person but she does not belong in the most prestiges (at least atm) SC2 tournament out there. She simple cant handle the English language well enough to be entertaining. This GOM announcement was a HUGE let down.

The only Coda A games I'll watch now are Rets games.
