Couple of things I guess I want to point out if we haven't done so already:
a) Kelly IS relatively speaking, more experienced than most of us. If any of you guys have actually tournament casting experience, and applied, perhaps it's just unfortunate that it didn't work out. And we have to consider, this is exactly like a job application: you have a resume, and for the most part, employers have to work off that, and perhaps a cover letter + interview. By the looks it, her commentating resume, is a lot more accomplished than ours (whether by virtue of skill or not.).
b) I do think that while her English in the aforementioned video was to be perfectly honest, atrocious, I don't think that one video can be a full demonstration of her ability/or lack of ability in speaking english. If you go to her youtube site, and watched her latest commentary of a SC2 tournament game, her english is understandable, and not at all as bad as it was in the video. That's not saying though, that there isn't room for improvement (both in how much she speaks in general and interacting with her partner in casting). But I just want to point out that she can speak english, and doesn't sound like gibberish all the time.
c) If you give up on Code A, because of the caster, that's also a bit of a reflection on how much you value a caster. To be frank, for me, it's not that big of a deal. Oftentimes, we comment the games for ourselves because we think we know what's going on more than the commentator (and in this case, it's easy to convince ourselves of that, since sometimes, casters can totally miss something that we totally saw, and we're going WTF!?), but casters are human as much as we are.
d) Perhaps more important than the previous point, do we actually have any access to knowing who the candidates were, what their experience in casting was, etc.? Unfortunately, we don't. GomTV has all the materials in regards to the decision. We all want to think that we do know who should and shouldn't be a caster, but unfortunately, we're not in the top dog's position. Sucky huh?
(To be perfectly honest, there's a lot of chatter about Torch having been a candidate, but I have no idea whether that's true or not. Do you?)
e) last but not least, by the announcement by GomTV, it looks like this is NOT at all a permanent decision, and in some sense, it may encourage other casters who want this position to come out if they think that the situation is that bad. We have yet to see. There could be changes sooner than we think if the outcry (based on this thread alone) is that significant to the interest in Code A.
tl;dr, her resume is better than most, the video is only ONE reflection of her inability to speak english, how much do you value a commentator for your games?, how do we know that there was any candidates better if we don't have GomTV's applicant list, and it's not at all a permanent decision based off what they've said.
Peace.
EDIT: I guess I haven't looked at enough of her videos to see how bad it is, but I'm just wondering whether we're sampling a lot of what seems to be older videos than one that I thought was really recent, which was posted her youtube video. I haven't looked how recent that was, but... relatively speaking, what's being asked of her in an SC2 game could be in my opinion, a lot different from a DOTA game, where there is a lot going on (it's a 5v5 game, there's heroes dying and fight all over the map, no wonder she sounds like she's trying to vomit 100 words out of her mouth per minute.) Altogether, I just am hoping that we can give it a try, and not watch the GSL's viewership suffer especially with a lot of good foreign players possibly making it into Code A (Huk, Haypro possibly, etc.)

oh shit, i didn't even think about that.
I know for a fact that PsyStarcraft whenever he casts with a shitty mike, it actually sounds terrible.
Difference between recording equipments would be pretty huge too.

There are quite a few videos of her English being extremely hard to understand, not just 1.

Exactly, if there were only one, and say five other casts where she sounds great, this thread wouldn't be 22 pages long.

I'm sorry and i am sure that she's an awesome person but i just cant stand her voice, suppose no Code A for me this time

They used 5 dollar microphones and lousy recording software at that DoTa tournament she casted? Link proof please.

I guess there will be no Code A game understanding for me then

I guess it's possible Torch was trolling us when he said I was applying, but I was really looking foreward to Torch casting. It's actually a bigger letdown for me then Kelly was in the first place.

Before being able to understand what anybody says comes being able to follow that person at all and for that person to have a bearable voice at all.
Kelly fails at having a bearable voice, speaking in a manner that makes it possible to follow her at all without having to seriously concentrate on it, at speaking understandable english, she fails at working with her co-caster as she frequently talks over them, and she also lacks game knowledge.
People wouldn't be so outraged if they didn't care about the GSL (but they do) and if Kelly was only lacking in one of those departments (but she isn't). On top of that she also shrugged criticism off by calling us "trolls" and "haters" (source: 1, 2, 3).

im sure GOM and Tastosis can polish her up guys, give her a chance. Just think of it this way, if it goes sour there will lots of Tastosis and Kelly meme to laugh about. (just think about the GoM forum troll Id's thats will spring up  , and im sure GOM has accent/intonation coaches or something, just give her a chance to cast the Code A matches 1st.

Peace.
I should touch base on some of the points because there are inconsistencies as I've mentioned in the other thread.
1) On paper, yes her CV and locale is great. It shows she is an avid, competitive gamer with some casting experience. However, once you start watching many people find it unbearable (the people that have came to her aid, are usually from the SEA region-- they are accustomed to her). Locale, locale, locale.
Yes, she's within close proximity. However, her English is very broken and you can blame it on whatever the heck you want; geographic location, etc.
This isn't the first rodeo GOM had to endure. In fact, they hired lilsusie not to long ago. When she started with GOM her knowledge came from watching the game. Not playing it. Her CV wasn't based off experience from playing at a professional level, but from her involvement within the community and the fact she was an avid watcher.
Yes, she had a great understanding as she's been part of this community for years. No problems when it comes to listening to her on the mike.
This is where GOM screwed up the most. It's not hard (at least not for me) to write a good cover letter and even then, lots of people can help you with that. If you base a job where the basic duties comes down to public speaking, you should at least interview the candidates over the phone and give them a trail. That is only one example. You cannot base it off of a person's CV alone. CVs and cover letters are what get your foot in the door. I would be shocked if they didn't go to Dan and Nick and ask them what they thought of Kelly's casting abilities prior to giving her the job.
This tells us one of two things:
- the decision-makers English is limited and they are used to her speech
- employees like Dan and Nick weren't highly involved in the process
2 & 3) As I've said, we have a whole body of work to base it on. From the start of her casting days up to her SC2 commentaries, there has been no change. She has a lot of bad ticks and habits. The worst being, many people can hardly understand what she says. There is a difference between predicting what is happening in the game and not being able to articulate yourself properly. My only recommendation is for her to slow it the heck down and to take cues from her fellow casters. Pace yourself.
4) No idea. That is why I asked who actually submitted their application and I'm pretty sure some of those candidates probably are a little hesitant to come out of the shadows because of this. Yes, GOM has full control.
5) I already made mention to this in my earlier post. It comes off as a cop-out or damage control. Some people can take it the wrong way. For instance, for me it sounds like they are throwing her under the bus. There is no need to address it. Instead, they should have been more optimistic and stood by their decision.

How do you admit that you need to improve your skills, and still get a full time job with a decent salary????

Lol. You're acting like I'm the only person who doesn't want Kelly to be a code a caster. Don't be a child. You want to ignore the other hundreds of posters on TL who don't agree with GOMs decision, go ahead.
And yes, if you click on my profile, you'll see I'm quite anti Kelly. I posted once... And then people like you responded with:
- get used to it
- then don't watch code a
- it's her microphone
- it's easy to understand her
- but she's a nice person
- gom chose her, it must have been for a good reason, get over it
- she'll get 100 times better, you just have to wait the whole season
And it's excuses like that forced me to respond. Because they're quite pitiful excuses/reasoning.
Oh. And here's the funniest bit. Not once have I seen the excuse "but she's an incredible caster!"...
|
|
|
I've never really had any problems understanding her. English is my second language. She seems like a good choice on paper. Near Korea, good play skills showed by tournament results. Experience in casting/playing many games at high level.
I look forward to seeing how it goes, seems promising to me.
|
I don't get it.. people keep talking about her awkward voice.. but honestly that is not the only thing which is unwanted. Her knowledge of the game is very bad.. she is a platinum player and that kind of worries me.
Based on what do they hire her? Can't be her voice or her knowledge..
Also, people who say that people overvalue casters too much that is just ridiculous comment. People want to be entertained and led into a game with the knowledge of the casters as well as their point of view. Therefor it is quite important one has entertainment, knowledge and a pleasant voice to listen to. All of which seem to be nonexistent in this case. So really why?

Wow, if I were KellyMILKIES I would not be confident about my future at GOM from the wording of that announcement.

Suna,
Before you can even critique her on that you have to base it on the foundation of casting. Which is speech. I can see why some people aren't bothered by it especially when English is their second language or they, themselves have thick accents as well. There are valid reasons why she's casted many SEA events. I, myself have dealt with many refugees and new people to Canada on a regular basis. Kelly is an extraordinary case. She is a very persistent girl. I wish her the best.
