Probably not on teamliquid, I doubt the mods would allow something geared towards ending somebody's career opportunity, even if it's just.

I think she´s doing a good job so far. And I have no problem understanding her even though I´m swedish. I also appreciate the fact that GOMtv selects a female caster in this male-dominated community.

(2 cents here for the grab)

I recommend not going in the direction of "Let's kick her out.", but more in the way of "Who can we find that would be an improvement?"

A very poor start from Kelly. Hoping for improvement.

Ideally I would love to see the non-koreans (i.e. who speak English well) that get knocked out take alternating games to guest-cast. In the past with WC3 I quite enjoyed ToD's casting when he would describe the situation and often offer insight into why certain things happen.

Or sometimes, he would say how he would react and why.. It's much better than someone being outright wrong. At least if the guest-caster is wrong, I get insight into the mind of a progamer. Now if Kelly says something stupid/wrong, I gain nothing more than an extra few pages of TL to read.

I really liked that old bw pro from Holland or France that was in a couple of days.. a natural. Rotterdam could also maby be a choice. INcontroL would be perfect, but he is fixin' it up in the US. I think they need to up the salary and perks..GOM are cheap if you ask me. They are banking it on social dumping.

Alright, despite the fact that I had preconceptions, I tried to go into this with an open mind. Let's now go over the ways in which Kelly is below average:

1. Has an annoying/difficult to understand voice. Even if YOU can understand it, it is less understandable than most commentators. So, below average.

2. Makes glaring oversights during gameplay.

3. Makes cringeworthy analysis that sometimes does not even make sense.

4. Appears to not actually know the name for certain Starcraft 2 units.

Let's discuss the ways she is above average:

1.

Ok, so with all the pros and cons in mind, HOW can you possibly defend her for this position? GSL is currently the biggest and most prestigious Starcraft 2 event in the world. Tasteless and Artosis are highly experienced veterans who are loved by the community. Even if you say "Oh, she's not that bad, she can improve" - so the fuck what? Why should we settle for an inferior product in the only league we have to pay to watch? Having Tasteless or Artosis cast solo or with John would be a huge improvement, and save GOM money. You can't defend her as being tolerable, she should need to be exceptional to be considered for this position.

So I was trying to remain optimistic, especially since I'm all for a female co-caster.....

But that was a disaster I hope that they get someone else next season

The positive thing is, the increased exposure to the good games and players might help her get promoted to diamond league soon.

I agree, but they are cheap on the salary etc. It is not like being a second rate caster in Korea is a dream come true if youre broke on top.

If you're going to cast you need to either be entertaining or have great game knowledge. Kelly is showing herself to have no semblance of either, she's very hard to understand for the majority of english viewers, and she's very difficult for a lot of people to listen to.

On top of that, she's unprofessional and deplorable with gems like "fuckslits". I mean, I don't want to be vulgar, but come on... naming your blog fuckslits? Not to attack her personally, but it's pathetic and it's the type of thing that will get you dismissed from any job.

I really have been behind GomTV at every turn so far as what they've done to improve their service, and I gave Kelly the benefit of the doubt at first, but I don't think she belongs on such a huge scene. It's bad for business.



To be honest, the response from the community has been so overwhelmingly opposed to her that I doubt she'll be here for another season. It's not hard to tell that even Tasteless is struggling to put up with her and salvage her mistakes.


You attack someone personally then proceed to claim that you aren't?

Imagine your prospective college/company digging out everything that you have done and rejecting you for that.

Chill people. This is not only an Asian or an incomprehensible person we are dealing with. This is another human being.

Her "fuckslits" blog is still active, she posted Korea pics to it, and her nickname is "milkies." These are slang for "vagina" and "breasts." When you are actively degrading yourself like this many employers will reject you. She is an obvious e-w***e.

"Have done", not "have done in the past" so no form of finality was implied. So what's up with the "still active" explanation? :S

She did not live up to my expectations. Commentary was still a bit amateurish, she still talks fast which makes it inaudible, and I dont feel the "casting chemistry" between the two yet.

That being said, I'll give her another week or see if anything improves - but so far, it's the same casting style she has been doing since pre-GSL.

Really hope she stops her Haters Gonna Hate attitude and improve.
Stick a fork in those buns.

I think all of you guys are missing a very important point it this whole "why is kelly casting" business and that would be: "Artosis and Tasteless has requested that they would like some changes in their casting schedule." So if you think about it that way she is actually helping them out because it may have been too tiring for them to cast so many games and I am sure if someone of much higher casting skillz and better history would have applied to GOMtv they would have given him the job but you gotta trust them that Kelly was the best choice and you have to respect their decision. I agree that her accent is a little weird but I dont think it is uncomprehensible and she may not know as much about the game than the Casting Archon but i bet she will improve with time. So if any of you not native english speakers feel you could do better live cast in front of the camera you should show it to the world and then maybe you will get a job at GOMtv too, until than live with it and try to enjoy.

You guys got to be kidding me, I never meant that the blog was dead or that recent incidents are ignored by employers in my original post.

Sheesh. Seriously.
