I don't understand this decision....I have nothing against her, her game knowledge, or anything like that in any way, but she is CLEARLY hard to understand. Her accent and the tone in which she speaks is just challenging to follow. I'm sure if she spoke more clearly she would be a great caster, but as of the time being she simply can't be understood, and in the initial thread with her announcing her casting, almost everyone said they couldn't follow what she was saying simply because she has a strong accent.

You can't get rid of an accent...I would rather listen to someone with a monotone voice who speaks clear, fluent english then listen to someone who I can't tell if they're saying he's making marines or if he's techin to banshees.....

I do wish her the best of luck and hope she proves everyone wrong and comes on stage clear, concise and does great. Good luck to her.

Its not like code A games were worth watching anyways. It was 8/10 crap games.

It doesn't say that she will be casting by herself. I think it means for instance it will be Tasteless/Kelly on Monday, then Artosis/Kelly on Wednesday, etc.

If this is the case I really don't get why they didn't choose Torch unless he just doesn't want to do it.

Now that is interesting. It's understandable now that she was the only one with a resume good enough to please GOM, and casting with Tastosis (especially Artosis) will definitely shape her into a better caster, at least regarding some fundamentals.

so this means tastosis will continue with code S as usual and kellymilkies will have absolutely nothing to do with just to clear things up, right? also how will they be switching up casting code A matches, will it be like artosis and kelly on one day, tastless and kelly the next etc or perhaps splitting up the code A matches for the day btw tastless and artosis or every other set, etc. trying to figure out when i will and will not be watching ahead of schedule.

I really like this move. People love Artosis and Tasteless plus they are both experienced caster who will help kelly if she needs to fall back on their knowledge.

Diversity breeds success!

I am happy to see this news is official and going to happen with certainty! Personally, I am just excited to see some great code A games with a fresh take and new caster dynamics!

I think Kelly/Artosis team is going to be pretty good for Starcraft. I think the Kelly/Tasteless pair is going to be fabulous entertainment!

Sigh, still doesn't help if it's Artosis and Tasteless switching between casting with her. Guess I don't mind watching with the sound off too much, will get used to it.

Well, rotating with tastosis might actually turn out to be a good thing. For the time being she'll be working with people she can definitely learn from. Hopefully she works on the slurring 3 words together issue as well & it'll all be good. If she does well people will open up to her in time anyway. Gonna watch Code A regardless, can't miss Huk!

I'm happy for her but personally I could not stand to listen to her on one of SEA tournaments streams and ended up muting it so I hope she at least tries to speak more clear and slowly in the GSL.

The way this has turned out is pretty awesome.. Props to tasteless and artosis. Now I'll only be annoyed half the time.

How old is kellymilkies? If she is 15 or under I think there is still time to change her accent. With her experience in gaming she could become a fantastic caster as long as people outside Singapore can understand her.

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.

I don't know, Kelly+Artosis sounds like a trainwreck. Artosis might have his hands full trying to get his point across. But it can be educational, lol.

Kelly+Tasteless might be better. Tasteless is more experienced with women so it might be more entertaining, maybe.

I can't help but to anticipate some good drama going on in these casts. So thats a plus. Seeing all these response about Kelly, I'm wondering how Kelly working with tastetosis is going to turn out.

Guess I'll be watching 50% of coda A matches muted. So many good casters out there...sigh..

Mixing up new casters with Tasteless/Artosis is actually a pretty good thing, it will help ease the transition to the future casting duo(?). If I understand correctly, and that part could be more explicitely stated in the OP, half of Code A rounds will be cast by Artosis+Kelly, the other half by Tasteless+Kelly.

It would be nice if people could refrain from posting negative comments until the second week of the GSL. Remember how everybody raged about the observer the first week and then felt stupid the second week when they realized the show was actually better with a new observer?

Really, really curious to see if she can develop a rapport with Tasteless and Artosis, and if so, who she will work best with.
