I also don't know why people say 'at least she has the balls/guts/whatever to go over there'. Seriously, balls to move to an amazing country for a great job? Please, a ton of us would kill for the opportunity.

I don't know much about her. But I like the fact that we have a female commentator, that certainly helps eliminate at least a little bit of bias like: "only losers play video games" and "girls don't play video games, only passive aggressive little boys"

I hear people saying that she doesn't have a lot of knowledge about the game, but that doesn't worry me too much. She has a lot of smart people to learn from (Tasteless, Artosis and players). She'll definitely learn fast.

And I also understand everything she says, so I'm looking forward to seeing more of her in the GSL.

The thread. Read it. Artosis and Tasteless can't do Code A and Code S because it's too much work, and they need a new pair of casters. Since only Kelly was hired, they'll be taking turns to cast with her. Kelly + Artosis, Kelly + Tasteless. Code S will be Tastosis, all the same.

In a thread like this, when I click on it, I expected

'some' flame, just natural due to poster hating on choice and prefered their own favourite casters, i've learnt to ignore those.

Well-wishers (^_^).

People with genuine concern and suggestions and expressing their opinions...

But I didnt actually expect shit stirrer like these... that just comes back to add fuel to the fire..

Why is my money going towards a caster that I do not enjoy watching?

I feel that most of the community feels this way and now face a dilemma.

I don't want to watch the Code A matches, half because of the obvious reasoning and the other half because I feel I should demonstrate to GOMtv that they DID mess up.

I just contributed to her salary...

Out of EVERYONE willing to cast... WHY.

People are saying not to be hard on her, or to get used to it, but when is the last time you turned on an NFL or NBA game and said "Damn this guys accent is too thick to understand, I guess I'll have to watch for a few weeks and get used to it"? Or better yet during an MMA or Boxing fight on Pay-Per-View, something you need to pay for like many people, including myself, do for GSL. This reminded me of a few major universities refunding students tuition if their professors accent was too thick for them to understand, but I doubt GOM would do anything like that.


This.

I'm sick and tired of arguing with people who think that Kelly is a decent caster at all and that we should just get used to it because that's the way it is.

I have to go to ALOT of trouble to understand her at all.

And there's no way she is the best caster in all of SEA. Absolutely not.

On the bright side, this is only for code A and really, how many games do you normally watch on that circuit? Me personally its between 5-10 tops.


Have you seen the line up for this Code A? It is going to be epic.

Well. WAS going to be epic. not so much now... =(

I just can't believe GOM thinks that just because she's a girl, the community will love her/warm up to her and disregard her total lack of ability to cast in understandable english! O_O

Does GOM really think SC2 fans are that one dimensional??

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.


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.

FINEEE. I'll give her a go! -___-

But GOM better have a mad backup plan for the day after day 1 of Code A games...because if she's exactly like she is in her youtube vids, and nothing's changed...

well then.. shit's gonna hit the fan.



My response to each of those posts:
+ Show Spoiler +
1. well, i really don't have anything to say to this. lol i really don't know how to phrase all this. Because YOU have a lot of trouble listening to her the first time, you're not even going to give her a chance to improve herself. That's pretty douche-y
Second part; It's not a question of wether she's the best caster, but she's the best one willing to put in the commitment to travel to Korea. Also, 'best' is an OPINION. I might think PsyStarcraft is the best caster while others will say day9.

2. Wtf man, if you hate her casting that much when the games roll around put her on mute. No one's going to care. if not go watch the korean stream. Or stream it yourself. As good as Tastosis is, I rather they want to cast it then them doing it halfheartedly.
second part; Who are you to think you know why Gom chose KellyMilkies JUST BECAUSE she's a girl? It may have been one of the reason, but it WOULD NOT have been the only reason. If they just wanted a girl to cast, they could've just hired any model/caster in kroea and save no cost. No, they're flying some one in JUST to cast for us.

3. You should follow your own advice here.

4."FINEEEE. I'll give her a go! -___-" --> wat. the. fuck. over inflated sense of importance much? I personally don't care wether you watch her or not. I'm sure no one else here does.
"but GOM better have a mad backup plan for the day after day 1 of code A games..." --> Really? you're only going to give the girl one day to improve? Well how would you like it if on the day you're born someone comes in and say "kk, we're going to see if you deserve to live" (bit extreme..but trying to get point across).

What shit is going to hit the fan? Most people here are perfectly happy to give KellyMilkies at least a few weeks, many even a whole season to improve.


Those were just some of the posters i've noticed posting numerous times..

Sorry, had to vent, posters like andrewwiggins just touched a nerve somewhere...

Funny to see that the 2 top arguments made by people here for that it was the right decision is:
"Atleast it is a female caster"
"I know she isnt the best right now. But she might improve, over time."

However, I am usually working when the GOM is being played so if I tune in, it is without sound. I guess this won't make much of a difference for me but I think it may prove to be a bad idea.


Im having the same issue , its very hard to make out what she is saying.
Maybe its something that would be improved with practice/experence.

At first I QQ'd that she'd gotten the job just becasue she is a girl but her achievements are impressive so im willing to give her a GSL or 2 before flaming about her.

I don't think so. My English isn't all that great. I just don't have a problem at all with someone who doesn't have an American/British accent casting a game.
Take for example the Carmac casts from IEM Kiev. They were great - both Rotterdam and Carmac. But they have both kind of an accent. So what nobody cared that time. Now it's this huge deal for some people in here BEFORE gsl march even started.


You seriously can understand this?

I can't understand a thing!

Hopefully with SC2 being a different game and slower paced then DOTA I assume she will talk a little slower, hopefully...

haha yea sc2 is probs a tad slower pace as there's only 2 players. I actually found that clip pretty cool. You can hear the enthusiasm in her voice etc. Don't just stop listening the first minute in...

What I just realised is, during that clip I could understand her fine when she's speaking normal pace, but when the fights start, I can't so maybe work on slowing down a bit.

I actually think this is a good thing she has going for her, she actually gets really excited when casting these games, and the excitement channels through to the viewers. Reason why i watch Korean bw. Hopefully this happens in sc2.

I'm not entirely sure how the Tasteless/Kelly combo is going to go. I know for a fact we wont be getting another caster who moans at units killing other units (Sadly). But I don't think either of them are very suitable to be a analytic caster. Tasteless could just be holding back his SC2 knowledge because he knows Artosis is the wikipedia of starcraft. Lets hope for the best and see how it all plays through.

EDIT: For those who don't know:

This is it. GSL Code A is dead for me, and since there is no way to differentiate between Code A and Code S in the purchase, I will have to do without premium as well.

I'm surprised and disappointed that GOMtv pays more attention to "resume" than to how those events were accepted by fans and to actual casting, and for that matter communication/speaking ability.

The explanation given by this announcement as incredibly lacking, considering the scale of this mismatch. What in the world were they thinking?

I also prefer the Korean commentating for that reason. I like that factor about her and I think that if she just gains some more knowledge about the game and speaks a bit slower then it will be tolerable, maybe even enjoyable. My only problem is her accent combined with the speed of her talking so it should help some.

Well, firstly, yes it is.

Secondly, people have trouble understanding someone who is doing a job that requires being understood. Race isn't relevant, clarity is - unless you're implying that race somehow determines how good someone's casting can be.

love how people always find the need to complain about something. does anyone have a list of every caster who applied for the position? how many of these applicants has had the live casting experience that she has? it's not hard to believe that gom was looking at live casting experience as a pretty important factor when making their decision, as it's just so different sitting there in front of a crowd as compared to doing it in the comfort of one's home.

frankly, give her a chance first before you bash.
